Re: (313) Defining Detroit Techno Article
Thanks for sharing this, Wes. I enjoyed it. Michaelangelo did a nice job covering the history with the festival and I like how he rooted his music reviews in social and cultural commentary.

Re: (313) Defining Detroit
I hear more from former and current 313 list people on Facebook than I do on 313 list. Just a sign of the times. It's been almost 30 years since I got my first e-mail address, and not long after that I got on mailing lists so...maybe a technology that has been mostly superceded.

Sure there are a few good new tracks on the Still Music comp, but it's patchy at best and not any kind of real development of the Detroit sound. This article won't change anything. Did DEMF / Movement make any difference to how actual house or techno are perceived or enjoyed by mainstream audiences? I doubt it. Plus it's now about 25 years since techno emerged - what makes anyone think that peeps will suddenly 'get' it? Are EDM kids (I guess they're kids) into music from that era? As a teen I sure wasn't much interested in music from the mid-'50s. It's great that the artists mentioned are still playing out and making the kind of great music they always have, but that would have happened regardless of the mainstream anyway. Just my 02 - this list is pretty quiet these days... p
RE: (313) New 12
It definitely has something to do with Submerge/UR. When we are at Submerge during DEMF weekend last year Roach was playing a test copy in the store. A few of us were digging it and we asked him what it was. He said he only had 6 copies at the moment and that they were for him and his friends. He also said the B1 track samples his daughter's voice and that it is his favorite cut on the record. Thought that was pretty awesome. Cheers!
