I wrote that first post when drunk and it's a little over-the-top
opinionated, and yes, coloured by the fact I made assumptions about what you
play when I haven't heard you play (which I will when I get the chance
because I've only heard good things).
I stand by the main thrust of the post though, which is that the sound now
associated with Detroit has changed substantially. You acknowledge that when
you say "if some of the stuff I've been hearing is present-day Detroit, I'll
stay in the past with the old Derrick May/Juan Atkins/Mad Mike/Jeff Mills
blueprint, thanks". That's what I was getting at; trying to provoke
discussion, I guess, in the light of all that's happening at DEMF. No slight
was intented when I made the comment that musically you seem more aligned
with Europeans like Beyer and Carola (I've heard both and they've both been
fucking excellent) than the current wave (fourth?) of Detroit producers. So
*is* there such a thing as a Detroit sound anymore?
Anyhow, I'll be quiet now: my posts hang like dark clouds in the sunny vibes
of DEMF.
Cheers
Rol
