Party pics: History of House at the Whitney

Party pics: History of House

DJ Norm Talley and Kelli Smith

Presented by Synergy, the historic Whitney was turned into two levels of pulse-thumping dance floors as DJs Norm Talley and Rick Wilhite spun records (yes records—no Macbooks at this party) touching on all genres of house music from progressive to disco and jazz to the house music of today. If Bud Liebler, owner of the Whitney Detroit, has anything to say about this historical Detroit Landmark, it is that they are doing their best to “unstuff the Whitney.”
