following up on that NYTimes article, here's another NYC publication's take on the 'electro revival', from the Village Voice website (http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0218/rewind.php)...the last paragraph is the most interesting one:
"Rewind! by Tricia Romano You know the electro revival is officially over when one of the biggest names in the rejuvenated genre turns up at his gig and plays nothing but acid house. That's what Ed DMX of DMX Krew did at the Tribeca Grand on Sunday night. But as he started piling up the ACEEED, the dancefloor started piling up with punters w ho were 'aving it, including Elliot Taub (a/k/a DJ Ulysses), Satamile, and Melis sa of W.I.T. Sitting in the corner was Flyer's Daniel Shumate, who I had to scold for the pre vious night's faux pas. Mr. Shumate blabbered to the techno-geek grapevine that Detroit techno DJ Derrick May was spinning at the Foundation Crew's party at Groovejet. Of course, a Derrick May sighting is almost as rare as spotting Salman Rushdie back when the Ayatollah wanted his head. The rumor was believable only be cause promoter/DJ Kimyon has ties to Detroit. But I'm beginning to believe that Derrick, like Santa Claus, is not real. He wasn't there, alas." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
