I heard MK play it on the boat too.
Did anyone else go on the boat? Lineup was stellar , sound was good.

WHY GOD WHY did so many people play that horrible "why don't you"
track!? It really couldn't be worse, and has eff all to do with
Detroit techno. HATE HATE HATE. Adding to your list Kevin, Francois
and Quentin Harris, I think at least six people played it! WHY!? I
much preferred the year everybody was playing "erotic discourse."

some tech fest 09 highlights for me:
P Maack from D.I.E. lambasting us techno geeks for not grinding
with the
ladies at Hump friday night
Jay Denham bringing it strong! I wasnt sure what to expect after
the more
chill sounding last album but this is what I imagine seeing him
back in the
day was like. Xlent hard techno despite the shitty rig.
Mills!!! Ear bleeding sound, great crowd (even greater after it
thinned out
a bit), and Mills bringing it cerebral style. Though technically
not quite
up there with the time he came out to the west coast, the selection
was just
want I needed.
disappointments:
The Real Detroit Stage. I'm sure it sounded cool after a few drinks
at the
bar but the island stage thing has got to be the stupidest
arrangement I
have ever seen in my life. so sad.
Shady promoter tactics. One of the artists I was most curious to
see, Benga,
apparently was not even scheduled to perform. He didnt show up and
then we
noticed in the program a tiny little
asterik next to his name and a tiny comment at the bottom saying
"subject to
change". this was only on Benga's name! typical Detroit tactics I
suppose
hooj choons:
Definetely was noticing alot of anthems this year. Francois K
played what
seemed to me like the detroit classics version of Girl Talk,
remixing on the
fly etc. Unfortunately it left me and my friends a bit cold. I
guess we want
to hear some new music these days.
heard "french kiss" a few times, of course from Derrick but he
didnt indulge
in the full slow down female interlude. Also heard blackwater a few
places.
But the runaway hit of the fest which I am sure we will hear
more of this Summer was a track from a pretty unknown serbian dude,
gramaphone dzie with a great jazz standard samplefest called Why
Dont You.
We heard this cut played by Minx, Delano Smith as well as Luciano.
