From what I can tell this post seems to stem from the fact that we
probably won't see many of the *same* big Detroit-based names on the
mainstage this year. This is only my speculation, not based on
anything I've heard.
One could also guess that someone further down the pop (or "pap" if
you prefer) continuum will be invited as well.
I doubt the drama was all that deep and the truth will fall somewhere
between this extreme and the overabundance of Detroit artists at the
first DEMF (we were very lucky IMO).

This post will probably cause a bit of controversy but here it is anyway.
I must first let you know that i will remain anonymous. I am a true,
native Detroiter(born and raised) and have been into Detroit Techno
and the scenes soap operas since the Music Institute.
I have VERY RELIABLE sources that have informed me of who is and
isn't playing this years D?EMF(as in Detroit??? Electronic Music
Festival).
According to my sources there were originally NO Detroit DJs
scheduled to play the main stage at all this year!
The drama is very deep so i won't get into that but..... wasn't this
festival supposed to be displaying to the world what Detroit is all
about and what we have to offer?
Here is what "we" have to offer:
Fatboy Slim
Moby
Carl Cox
Laurent Garnier
and i'm also told several Planet E acts!
Now whether i like or dislike any of the above doesn't matter.
What does matter is that the organizers need to let our best dj's
and producers(Old and New) represent the amazing legacy that is
Detroit Techno.
Are we still going to support the festival if it veers wrongly off course?
As 313ers i challenge you to make your voice heard.
I will be attending the Press Conference this Thursday to see how
true this info is. I've heard that they are scrambling at the last
minute to add some Detroit "names".
Thank you for reading,
i remain......hdn
