DJ Minx played a Detroit Pistons halftime show at Little Caesars Arena in March 2025, two years after her first appearance at a Pistons game.
DJ Minx played a Detroit Pistons halftime set at Little Caesars Arena in March 2025, putting a founding voice of the city's house and techno scene on the floor of its downtown arena. Her official biography lists the halftime performance among her recent hometown appearances.
It was not her first time at a Pistons game. In 2023 she performed at the team's final home game of the NBA season, a date booked in collaboration with Movement Detroit. Resident Advisor's biography of the artist and her Wikipedia entry both place the March 2025 halftime as a return to that stage, with the encyclopedia dating the appearance to March 15.
DJ Minx, born Jennifer Witcher, has been part of Detroit dance music since the late 1980s. She founded the Women on Wax collective and its record label to make room for women DJs and producers coming up in the city, and her catalog runs across Detroit house and techno over more than three decades. Along the way she has picked up a Spirit of Detroit Award and a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, the kind of credits that mark her as one of the genre's long-standing figures rather than a recent arrival.
The arena booking reads as a city institution making space for the music Detroit is known for around the world. Speaking before her 2023 Pistons date, Minx framed the moment in those terms. "I'm thankful for this opportunity to represent my city," she told Resident Advisor. "Detroit is known for its music and sports, and we stand on the shoulders of legends."
Her tour dates are listed on her official channels.
