Laurent Guarnier started coming to Detroit a long time ago, and is a huge fan of detroit techno. Bone has great stories about Laurent DJ'ing without monitors at sketchy Detroit parties back then. And as for Aretha and Iggy, why wouldn't he know about them?
I'm from Iowa, so I don't think I can judge who's 'Detroit' enough, any more than, say, a guy from Brazil. I do know that whether you like Laurent's music or not -- and he's hit or miss for me -- his hearts in the right place. Tremendously fun DJ to see, because no one in the room is having more fun than him. On 9/5/06, Guilherme Menegon Arantes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Funny this CD1 is supposed to be a "History of Detroit" which kind of puzzles me: If it is a "History of Detroit" Techno, then what are Stooges or Aretha doing there??? (dont say they were D. May inspirations, pls!); Or if it is a Musical "History of Detroit" (which then explains why Stooges, Aretha and Temptations are listed), then what does Mr. Garnier know about it? Either way, this CD obviously does not represent Detroit musical heritage.
