I haven't seen Detroit dance like that in a long while. Big ups to Paxacrew and to the people that came out and had a great time.
For those that weren't there: The party started off at "Times Square Detroit", which normally caters to shiny shirts and sequins. Michel Mayer was playing some really wicked tracks, very "bleepy" and "bloopy", for lack of better adjectives. The intensity of the crowd hasn't been felt like that since at least DEMF. Reinhard Voigt came on with a live set that was extremely facsinating to listen to and at the same time EXTREMELY dancable. At 2am, the party was moved to the "afterparty" location, which happens to be the Legendary Burst Audio equipment warehouse. I shouldn't even have to add that the sound was impeccable, but it was - and the venue was a cement warehouse out on Michigan Ave., not too far from "the Works" or the Old Tiger Stadium. Immediately upon entering, everyone knew what was up. There was an electricity and a (dare I say) "vibe" that only a warehouse party in Detroit can offer, and it was certainly well recieved. The Paxahau residents, Drew Maddox and Chuck Flask were on point to start the after party, and as soon as the entire crowd had relocated, it was just madness. To close off the night, Deadbeat (from Montreal) played some really "dub" type ambient or downtempo that eased the crowd, and sounded spectacular. Dennis BTW - I'm still recovering, and I'm sure that most everyone is - as Christian Bloch's going away party on Friday kicked off the madness, and Saturday drove it home... -----Original Message----- From: atomly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 1:53 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) paxahau/kompakt I'm pretty damn surprised nobody's been talking about this. The Paxaahau Five Year Kompakt Party (Three Parties in One!) totally went off in Detroit last weekend. Haven't raved (yes, I raved) like that in years. -- :: atomly :: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.atomly.com ... [ atomiq records : po box 805319 chicago il 60680 : 312.804.5389 ...
