Placid in Detroit at Oslo Thursday night - freaking fantastic! It was such a fun night - I danced almost straight through til a bit past 2 even though I had to get up for work the next morning. Caught the end of Kevin Reynolds' set too. He had me dancing almost as soon as I walked downstairs into the club. Sound was good - if you stand toward the back in Oslo near the back pillar, the sound is usually great. At one point, someone loosened all the red light bulbs to make the dance area almost completely dark - crazy white kids! :) It was pretty fun.
Anyway, as some of you maybe remember, I'm one of those student-types trying to bring electronic music into the academy. And I am living in Detroit for the year doing my dissertation research on Detroit techno and house music. If anyone on this list in Detroit would like to meet and talk sometime, I would love to do an interview with you. You don't have to be a DJ or even be really knowledgeable. If you are a fan and part of this community, then it would be cool to meet and talk. And, if there's a group of y'all out there, then we could do a group interview too. People's Art Festival at the Russell Industrial Center was yesterday. My husband was selling photographs, it was a pretty interesting event. There was also some good Detroit electronic music - Billeebob and others. I missed most of it because I was pretty busy all day.:( -- Denise Dalphond Ph.D. Candidate Department of Folklore & Ethnomusicology Indiana University www.denisedjsdetroit.blogspot.com
