While the music remained fairly static (dubby and hypnotic at times) the visuals were probably the most inventive I've seen at a DEMF performance. The setup was two men on electronics, with a live 5-string Bass guitar and live Drummer. The live musicians we're there ostensibly to add visual interest, and because there's nothing quite like a live rim-shot. Like other stages, the lighting this year was dramatically improved. Deepchord ran their own visual art-piece with morphing abstracted city scenes. In the lower right corner of the video was a running timecode that started the moment their set began. I think it was Kent or Greg who suggested that this was a unique way to make a point of how Deepchord's music can play with your sense of time. Other favorites--Jay Langa with a "welcome to Detroit" set of UR classics Early on Saturday. I also really enjoyed the first 20 mins of Juan's set, a shuffle through all the electro classix, leading up to Model 600 "Update". At that point he moved into 4-on-the-floor territory, and <irony> the crowd finally started to move </irony>. Upset that I missed Huckaby.
