> > "he's just signed a deal to host the DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music > Festival) for the next 5 years" tristan- what's your source on this? (just being a good journalist) <<< Maybe not clear from the first post, I wrote 'note this bit in the announcement!' - which meant the promo bit for the party (below). The info was originally posted here: http://www.dustscience.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1007 and their website is http://www.retroverts.com, although that won't help you much since their party next weekend is currently listed on the site. If memory serves, you may be able to contact them at [EMAIL PROTECTED] which I think goes to either Ben Sims or one of the other folks that help him organize these nights. I would imagine one of them wrote the promo blurb (although perhaps this DEMF bit was not supposed to be announced yet???). That be all I know. Hope it helps, kind sir!
