Matt Chester - more Detroit than Detroit ;)
Rob Taylor VT Librarian x8599 Hatch Desk x1088 VT Library Users' Guide -----Original Message----- From: Matt Chester [mailto:chesterm...@googlemail.com] Sent: 06 August 2009 15:25 To: list 313 Subject: (313) Live sets (was (313) ping) Lets talk about live sets for a change - who are your favourite Detroit live artists & why? I saw Rob Hood live recently and was pretty disappointed - he was doing the whole 'play one track, stop, reprogram, play another track' thing. A lot of detroit artists seem to do that, performing more like a band, i've never really understood why. Does anyone here prefer that kind of show to a continuously evolving set? Carl Craig last year at the festival was phenomenal I thought - he gets plenty of criticism these days for various reasons but that totally blew me away... Scan 7 & Octave One both do very tight shows too. NB -No chat about hardware vs laptop btw, this is strictly about talent! And first person to mention Jeff or Richie gets a severe beating... :p kent williams wrote: > Sometimes when people went all quiet I posted something just to get a > discussion going, but I've decided that as list admin it's kind of a > cheesy thing to do, so I've stopped. > > Sometimes I think that pretty much every possible thing to be said > about Detroit Techno has been said already on this list, multiple > times, well and poorly, so we await new developments, which can be > thin on the ground, especially in summer. > > It's like the contemporary authors whose books I read.
