2005?
Another fact is that the sound of Detroit has been changing all of this
time and it has not been reflected in the festival or accepted en masse by
many yet. It needs to change, but there are many in control right now that
want to maintain the status quo.
Since Transmat still supposedly has control of the festival, why not send
them an email and inquire. If anything, it will hopefully spur them to get
started. It would be amazingly impressive if they could get it together
*gasp* early and not leave the international folks hanging in the wind. In
case many of you haven't figured it out, there's about 5-10 people that
completely control this festival behind the scenes, and that's the way
it's going to continue. Unfortunately, organization is not their strong
point. You would think that after last year they would come correct and
get it done now.
Top secret procrastination at its best...
Peace,
Alex

Re: (313) Re: On Topic: Movement 2005?
the fact is- the sound of Detroit right now (disregarding the obvious
mainstream dance contingent) still has little to do with Detroit techno in
the traditional sense.
And i don't read this list for 12" reviews/discussions/announcments
I read it for the occasional live review and some spirited and often
humorous conversation.

pretty decent tracks in that style, I think Martin Dust probably could
inform us more on records in this style.... maybe???

need to stay up on what's going down there, as I live in Chicago which I
consider to be a sort of sister city. I'm hoping to take a trip to the D
over xmas too - anyone reading this from the D, it would be nice if you
could give me a holla holla.
