I've made the long journey twice but I don't really feel any
particular draw to this event to be honest- it kind of feels like
they've picked some OK and some very not OK people to play and the
Detroit "to be announced" people are tacked on as a "necessity" since
the event is held in Detroit. I haven't got any any axe to grind at
all with the promoters (I've only ever heard of them through the 313
list before and there have been an equal amount of "I love em" and "I
hate em" accounts ass far as I remember- I'm just giving the
viewpoint of somebody who loves music from Detroit (Techno and
otherwise) and isn't really that attracted to this festival. I'd
love to come over to see a few old friends but I can't see it happening.

I was about to comment (from the pov of a european who has been
before and would like to go again) that the way the line-up has
been announced and the nature of it so far is unlikely to draw the
kind of people who'd normal stump up the 100s to come to Detroit
for the festival.
I like to think that the local artists and djs will be announced
later but this delay is going to help even less in attracting
overseas visitors.
The festival should be a celebration of Detroit music shouldn't it.
Not just another generic rave?

Personally i don't really go in for "sub-genres" and that perhaps
is the problem here.
