There have been a number of posts griping at the lack of big names from Detroit actually playing the DEMF this year, why no Mills, Oldham, Hood etc.... As someone travelling from Europe I don't really see why people are moaning about this. As far as I can see, the festival was never intended to be purley a celebration of Detroit artists, but rather a celebration of the music that, whilst owing much of its heritage to Detroit, has travelled, changed and morphed across the world over the years. I think this years line up really represents the global nature of underground electronic music and I personally have no gripes about it. The fact that it is held in Detroit is a fitting tribute and recognition enough. Whilst there are many names that I would have loved to have seen there, There isn't really a single moment throughout the 3 days where I can see myself being stuck for some wicked music. I think people should stop moaning about who isn't there and start getting into who is. Jazzanova, Kirk Degorgio, Laurent Garnier Live...these people may not be from Detroit, but they all owe something to it and now they can give something back. Plus there's still next year, who lnows what the future holds.
