Yeah, there was this group on the main Sunday (around 6?) that were trying to get the crowd into it and they were doing a cross house/gospel/soul thing. The people sitting in the bowl looked like they were all experiencing general malaise at not hearing techno even in its most homogenous form. I think they would have been happier even with the most commercial trance. Don't get me wrong, the band was really musically speaking as far being musicians, but that why there's the Jazzfest.
It was definitely night and day from when Ayro got down on the main stage last year, even with all of the live musicians he had backing him up, you could feel the electronic portion of his set. And when he created his percussion patterns live and recorded them into his set on the fly (very nice). It would have been cool to see Dan Bell in the underground stage this year..definitely one my highlights last year. I went to a loft party Saturday night at Nikki's that was hot as the freaking Congo, but the music was hot. Still don't know who was playing (too fried to ask any questions by that point. It went until seven but around 5:30 this blonde guy came with the craziest combination of sounds and structures that was exactly what the moment called for. At first everyone was thinking he had destroyed his laptop/speakers etc. but it ended up being part of the whole affair. Very refreshing even if the locale was not because of the heat. I'm going to drop all of the pics I took somewhere soon. All in all..really enjoyable weekend... Peace, Alex P.S. Thanks to anyone on here that came out to the Ultradyne show on Sunday. Good to see a decent crowd for one of our shows in Detroit...
