Hello, I caught a bit of Clark's set in the beginning of the evening, and he played some excellent cuts, that one really great Norken cut off Soulstatic Bureau comes to mind most readily.
Bill Vanloo played the first live set of the evening, and frankly, he played the only one that mattered. I'm lukewarm on his earlier stuff, but Bill really shined tonight. Interesting sound design and percussion programming really made his set stand out. I think Bill is really reaching for something, he gave one of the most refreshing and innovative sets I have heard in along time. It was not perfect and there were rough patches along the way, but they were utterly forgivable because when he was on, HE WAS ON! BVL is the kid to beat in my mind, and he is going to be one of the truly relevant Detroit artists in the next decade. Dale and Walker were all right, they did exactly what you would expect them to do. I give them respect, they both did it better than I could, but at the same time it was uninspiring. They both absolutely nailed the textbook definition of what is supposed to be good electronic dance music at the end of the 90's, but perhaps that was the problem, how relevant is that textbook anymore? bottom line: Bill stole the show(even if the crowd was too dumb to realize what they were hearing) It was raw, not always perfect, but really fresh and it had a real creative fire and a hunger that was lacking in the other more polished sets. Keep your eye on BVL because he will be the one to watch in the next couple years. When he gets his s--t together most of these cats aren't going to be able to touch him.
