maybe they booked him expecting him to bring the cast from his
'satisfaction' video

Subject: (313) official 313 list do's and don'ts of DEMF line-ups
DO:
Include Detroit DJs and Artists. Genre not important as long as
contemporary with some electronic elements. e.g. Slum Village, but not
a Detroit Polka band.
Include International artists and DJs whose music is either Detroit
influenced, or is interesting and enjoyable in it's own right and not
too far from the core focus on electronic music. E.g. Tortoise and
Autechre were good DEMF bookings.
Include the best proponents of new dance music genres. E.g. Burial
would be a good booking. Give him a Luchador mask to wear if he's
still feeling bashful.
DON'T:
Book Trance DJs. Trance music -- regardless of nation or city of
origin -- is the opposite of Techno, and the opposite of good music,
for that matter.
Book a DJ/Producer who don't actually make the music they release
under their names.
Book any Big-room, Ibiza-DJing, Coked-out, Primadonna Bullsh1t DJs.
Now it's tough to balance financial prudence with artistic integrity,
and arguably Paxahau has mostly done OK. But the only rightful place
for Benny Benassi at DEMF would be in a dunk tank.
