There is no justification for not including in this festival someone who has played such a huge role in the history of electronic music in Detroit. Especially in light of some of the dj's booked. Politics suck and in this case they're robbing the festival attendees of a chance to see this great producer and dj. Everyone I know is suprised and semi-stupified that he was not asked to participate. Like someone said in a previous post, only Carl knows why. Therefore, a further discussion on this is somewhat futile.
