Apologies if I somehow manage to spark that godawful "integrity" or "art
vs. commerce" or "underground vs. commercial" debate again. That's the
last thing I want, to wade through a bazillion messages I've already
read for the last 5 years. Gosh, do I sound bitter?
hahahah
I agree, wholeheartedly. It is always up to the promoters to book the
talent, and let's face it, who in England (besides those on this list) would
go to see any of the crop of DJs that we are currently seeing. A big name
not only satisfies the local punters, but brings out a crowd that can do the
whole "I saw so and so... spin."
So I guess if you are going to address this lack of Detroit bookins in the
UK, then you will have to address the promoters, and the clubs.
On a second, more personal note, -- It looks like my wife and I will be
flying to Belgium to attend the "I love Techno" party... Any belgians
and\or dutch (or for that matter western europeans) who would care to meet,
please e-mail me privately. I always think that its cool to meet 313ers the
world round!
Cheers!!

No, it's not a lack of vision, just a difference of vision.
Your vision is for lots of great, innovative Detroit artists to come
over and share their art. The promoters' vision is to make money on
their ventures.
Those two happen to come together sometimes, but it's far from a
guarantee.

ob313: Pole, Jan Jenelik, and Burnt Friedman tonight at the Detroit
Contemporary. Aww yeah. I'll be there, hoping the bass clears my sinuses
out (damn fall weather...).
