Sweet!  Yep, it is at the old Elysium, its now called the White House.
Bruce Bailey has earned his title of King of Detroit House over the years.
 I've worn through most of the CDs he's given me!

There's pre-sales still available online.
http://www.wantickets.com/JodieJodieS

I'll have hard tickets available for $20 starting Friday night if we manage
to meet up somewhere during the weekend.  Tickets at the door start at $25.
 The party runs from 8pm-8am on Sunday night.  I'm so excited I can't wait
till Sunday!  Derrick, Stacey Hale, Bruce, plus Marissa Guzman, Oscar P,
Todd Weston...  every name on the bill has made me dance my booty off on
many occasion.

There already seems to be some confusion about this on here.  You guys
should find your facts from actual media outlets, not social facebook
or whatevers...

There's a good article about it on Crains.

http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20131120/NEWS/131129990/campus-martius-will-turn-into-global-dance-party-for-electronic#

Real Detroit has another article with some great quotes too.

$300 is for the conference element at Ford Field.  The free fest will
be surrounding Campus Martius Park with 5 stages.

I've heard the hullaballoo about Carol for years, and then had the
pleasure to work with her at Campus Martius for many years there
after.  She has her quirks, and I know a lot of people who've had
troubles with her, I myself have had a few worrisome moments, but
she's overall a solid person, and seeing that she's gonna do this,
well, it makes me think there's some real force behind it.  She's had
to have put some serious time into the planning of this thing.  We'll
see how it pans out, but I think the interview she did with Real
Detroit is pretty solid, and she's right... Detroit has room for 10
Techno festivals a year, with this new DEMF festival / FEMT
conference, we'll be half way there...

 which has made it easier for those coming from a great distance to

 limit on any last minute preparations.

 While I believe competition is a great thing at the end of the day,
 I'm just curious how 3 major music festivals occurring within weeks of

 attempt to coerce an artist into an exclusivity spring/summer
 booking, etc. Rather than continue with endless speculation, I'll just
 wait and see and keep an eye on my shorecrest reservations.

I know there's a lot of out of towners that will pick one versus the
other... but truthfully, I know a helluva lot of folks that will
appreciate the fact that they can put travel options into their
calendar.  Not everyone in the world is available Memorial Day
Weekend... we'll get more people coming here if they have two
different months to choose from.  I'm just saying this is the feedback
that I've gotten from friends of mine overseas.

And as for where did all this money materialize from... you must
have no idea what Carol does for a living, or what has been happening
in the city in the past 6 months... and no, I'm not talking about the
bankruptcy... check out what's occurred with the Detroit 300
Conservancy and their Event Calendar, look at all of the changes to
downtown, the Chess Boards with life size chess pieces people are
playing on the sidewalk, all of the recent stores that have popped up,
there's some really crazy things happening here... and there's plenty
of money available if you know the right people, have a good idea with
good planning behind it, and most importantly, a well connected team
to implement it.

Detroit's changing... and I 100% believe there's room for 2 major
Electronic Music Festivals of this size here in our city.  I can't
wait for the conference, and I will be paying the money, it sure is
cheaper than me traveling to Miami's WMC, and considering its in

gonna be way sweeter than WMC... I mean, seriously... why are people

 The Real Detroit article is terrible. The writing is so bad (I'm a writer,
 that's why I'm focusing on it). And yeah, Rachel Skotarczyk seems to be
 Crazy for Carol. There's a weird, one-dimensional sense of history in the
 article. I take it personally cause I write about this stuff and it's so
 important to me. I try to not get so worked up, but geez, you guys.

 The talk of unity is an everyday theme around Detroit. Everyone wants it.
 Some make it happen. The best unity is the stuff that happens every day of
 the year in small ways. True support and camaraderie. It does happen.

 The tech part at Ford Field gets my nerdo vibes going, but no way I'm
 spending that kind of money for it.

 The thing that is worrisome is that Carol Marvin already damaged
 relationships with Derrick, Kevin, and Carl, and now she's dealing with Juan
 and Rik. It will be interesting to see what actually comes of it. I'm with
 Jwan, wait and see.

 If this thing really does happen, and Cybotron plays, you know I'll be

Timing is everything, and a decade ago, things were a lot different...
 look, I've got a lot of people that I know that were not paid from
working for her...  but, I know that there's no way her event would be
a success if it was the weekend following Movement...  I also know
Movement is not the only Electronic Music Festival happening in the
city now, there's a total of 4 now, and Carol's will be 5, yes, the
other festivals are smaller, but so what.  A friend of mine in New
Orleans just posted about how in New Orleans they have 10 jazz fests a
year, and all of those fests help the economy...  so umm... yeah...
Carol's been the person managing all of the Sponsorships for the
Detroit 300 Conservancy since 2007, and the whole mission of that
place is to spur Detroit's Economy through events... I started working
there in 2006, and I've literally seen downtown's Economy change
through the Events I helped to Program  Book...  truth be told, my
love of Techno made it sometimes difficult to work in the same office
as her, but over the years I've come to realize she's quite the
powerhouse, and she's earned my respect.  So, yeah, her thought that
having 10 festivals a year will help Detroit's economy, well, it makes
sense to me, and I think the naysayers will continue to be so...
myself, though, I support it...  we need Movement here, but we also
need the SCP Backpack House Festival, and once FEMT is up and running
everyone's gonna say that we need it too.  Every bone in my body tells
me that this is a good thing for the city, and that we'll all benefit
from it... my gut instinct.

 I honesty don't think that Detroit is not at the stage to support two large 
 techno festivals, especially since they are not together. I hope it can, but 
 I don't see it.

 If this new festival would have been scheduled, say the following weekend 
 after Movement, I could see some of the unity and community the article 
 alludes to. After parties and day raves could have been the glue and the two 
 fests the book ends.

 And no, I have no idea what Carol does for a living. What I do remember is 
 that a lot of people weren't paid when she was last at the helm and next 
 thing I heard she moved on and started ravestivals in other cities. Kudos to 
 her.

 If she's been sleeping on a bed made of money this whole time, why did it

Rooms are probably still available.  Last year a bunch of promoters

Last year, Liaison Artists had a massive room block with a couple
hundred rooms at MGM.

I'm sure if I asked around I could find out who's got room blocks this year.

  Hmm, what else is shaking? Went to the Planet E 20th in Detroit a few weeks

 As for Billeebob...he has to get off of UR.  I remember going in to the 3030

 room floor that is better then what other labels release regularly.  So, when 
 Billeebob comes around I wonder what other labels Mike is listening too.

 I just had another listen to the clips - it's OK but really nothing
 that special in my books - really dislike those live sounding tom
 rolls and..well it just doesn't float my boat.

 Huesca is just epic in all the wrong ways for me - it steps WAY too
 close to Ibiza territory in places - it's not terrible but the whole
 EP just confuses me.

 Now, the two new releases on Underground Resistance (Nick Speed and
 Billibob), that's a different kettle of fish.

 New Red Planet thing coming soon too - wonder what that'll be like?

 with over 1000 workshop sessions and a bunch of other stuff, mostly
 at Cobo Hall and Wayne State.  I've heard attendance estimates in
 the 20-30,000 range,  Lots of people who are going to see at least part
 of the reality of Detroit for the first time.

 Not much musically related events as part of it from what I can tell,
 there's a couple stages at Hart Plaza featuring various things, and the
 one big party (Leftist Lounge) on Friday night in Eastern Market
 (Bert's, Johansen Charles and a couple other places) seems to be
 featuring mostly out of town hip hop DJs.  I'm  sure they're good, but...

 Friday at Porter St with D. Wynn, Piranhahead and Scott Coleman is
 more my ticket.  Haven't been there since it became 10 Critics but that
 seems like it will be worthwhile.

 Hit me up if there's anything else happening of interest.  I'll do my

  RICARDO VILLALOBOS TO PERFORM AT MOVEMENT FESTIVAL IN U.S.
  33 MORE ACTS ANNOUNCED TO MOVEMENT FESTIVAL LINE-UP
  MOVEMENT TORINO TO SPONSOR FIFTH STAGE IN DETROIT
 
  DETROIT, April 26, 2010—Paxahau announced today Ricardo Villalobos will 
  be performing in Detroit for the Movement Electronic Music Festival 
  Powered by Ford Fiesta; the addition of a 5th stage sponsored by Movement 
  Torino; and 32 more acts who will perform in Hart Plaza May 29-31 
  including Ghostland Observatory, Derrick May, Booka Shade, and Marco 
  Carola.
 
  Villalobos, a world-renowned microhouse and minimal techno DJ/producer, 
  last performed in Detroit in 2002 when he played live at Paxahau 
  Electronic Music Festival (PEMF), a four-day party that was held at the 
  now closed Panacea Nightclub in downtown Detroit.
 
  Ricardo is looking forward to coming back to Detroit again after all 
  these years, said his Agent Goetz Guse of Cocoon Agency out of 
  Frankfurt, Germany.  “His return to the United States and Detroit for the 
  Movement Electronic Music Festival is exclusive to Paxahau.  He isn’t 
  booked to perform at any other venue in the States, and we don’t 
  anticipate he will be this year.
 
  In addition to Villalobos; the contemporary dance music duo Booka Shade 
  from Berlin has been scheduled for a live performance; along with 
  electro, rock, and funk duo Ghostland Observatory who will also perform 
  live.
  “We are feeling very good about how this year’s Movement lineup has come 
  together,” said Jason Huvaere, Executive Director of Movement Electronic 
  Music Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta.  “With today’s announcement of 
  Ricardo and the other 31 artists, the response we are getting is 
  extremely positive.”
 
  Below is an alphabetical list of artists announced today who will appear 
  either on the vitaminwater, Beatport, Made in Detroit, or Red Bull Music 
  Academy stage.

  Movement Torino Sponsors 5th Stage at Detroit’s Movement Electronic Music 
  Festival
 
  Movement Torino, an electronic music festival in Italy that Paxahau 
  formed a new partnership with in 2009, will be the sponsor of the fifth 
  stage for the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit May 29-31.  
  Last year the Movement Festival in Detroit had four stages.
 
  “We are excited to have Movement Torino as the sponsor of the fifth stage 
  for this year’s festival,” said Huvaere.  “Our international partnership 
  when formed last year was historic and has since proved to be mutually 
  beneficial for Movement Torino and Movement Detroit.”
 
  Huvaere went on to say, “Fans will enjoy the great lineup of artists 
  scheduled to perform on the Movement Torino stage, there is a great mix 
  of talent from both Detroit and Italy.”
 
  Headlining the Torino Stage during the three-day festival will be one of 
  Italy’s most influential techno and electronic music DJs Marco Carola, 
  Detroit techno pioneer Derrick May, and very  popular Italian DJ Mauro 
  Picotto.  Other artists performing on the Movement Torino stage are:

  500; and Richie Hawtin presenting Plastikman.
 
  Other artists signed to Cocoon Agency scheduled to perform at this year's 
  Movement festival are Cassy and Onur Ozer, both were originally announced 
  in March.  Guse said they too are very excited to play at Movement 2010
 
  With today’s announcement, there are currently 97 acts that will be 
  performing during the three-day festival.  Visit www.movement.us for a 
  complete line-up.

Wow... what a series of comments!!!  My entire understanding of the
history timeline has shifted...

and my favorite part is that Juan says he and Derrick were working
together first before Eddie joined the crew...  Eddie is so full of

more credit than Derrick, but Juan says right in the interview that
Derrick was first...  classic

Hey Patrick,

Check out... the Greening of Detroit

Greening is also a partner in the ever-growing (no pun intended)
Garden Resource Program, which supports urban agriculture in the city.
Last year, over 5,500 residents participated in 220 family, 115
community and 20 school gardens. More than 120 tons of food were
grown, and Greening is anticipating a 20% increase in both
participation and output this year. (paragraph taken from Model-D
Media)

And these two projects are only two of the many community garden
funders in the region.  Community Gardens have definitely come to
fruition, and its growing (no pun intended) everyday.

All the best,

Re: (313) Festival Debriefing?

2009-05-27 Thread UI Design
My biggest complaint last year was the lack of diversity in the
audience.  My shouting complaint was that there's got to be something
wrong when the Country Hoedown Festival has more people of color than
the Techno Festival.  This year I was pleasnatly surprised to see this
change.  There was a lot more diversity.  And my other major complaint
about the terrible Video Screens last year was also greatly improved
upon this year.

For next year, I hope to God they improve upon the disgusting state of
the bathrooms.  I paid for the VIP wristband, mainly because all of my
friends from Chicago had them, but also because I was looking forward
to being able to use clean bathrooms.  I run a warehouse venue that
looks rough, but bathroom attendants are mandatory in my mind, as with
1,000s of people, they get messy quick, and its not a nice thing to
deal with when your drunk or on other additives.  For $165 wristband,
I expected to at least have toilet paper at 8:00pm on the first day of
the festival.  Unfortunately, there was not, and the facilities were
disgusting.  Hopefully next year they will improve upon this
oversight.  Even in the public outhouses, they really need to have
someone overseeing this area.  To be honest, trying to type about how
disgusting this area was is making me sick.  For those that were
there, you know what I'm talking about.

Overall, though, the music was great.  Francois, Carl Cox, Kate Simko,
Eric Johnson, Norm Talley, DJ Seoul...  AMAZING!

Looking forward to next year, and very happy that each year Paxahau is
listening to people's complaints and making improvements.

 There were some great sets in the festival, and some great
 afterparties.  Mixed in with all that there was some complete
 nonsense, which was easily avoidable.  The sound at the underground
 stage was criminal, and unfortunately really detracted from the sets
 of some of the best performers.

 I don't know if I can just smell better because I quit smoking or if
 there really was more marijuana being smoked this year, but any time I
 was in a crowd at the festival I felt like I was inside a bong.  And
 when I was walking out after Derrick's set I was right behind two
 underage kid gabbling about their friend with a 'mason jar of pills.'
  Now I try not to judge, and lord knows I did my bit for Kentucky's
 finer distillers this weekend. But the vibe is always better when the
 focus is on the music, not the intoxicants.

 I have to write a proper article on it for the free paper for which
 I'm AE editor, so I'm going to save my more penetrating observations
 for that.

Fwd: (313) Carl Craig named creative director of Movement 2010

2009-05-22 Thread UI Design
AMAZING  I was just in a heated discussion yesterday about how
Paxahau hasn't been doing enough to connect with the Black House Crowd
in the Detroit region, but with Carl on board for next year, thats a
great step in the right direction.  Thats a sigh of relief for me, as
I honestly think they do a great job with the technical production of
the festival, it just broke my heart to see how racially divided it
had become last year.  My hope is that Carl can bridge the divide and
bring it back around to being a racially diverse audience.

 Not that I'm 'anybody' as such, but that did make me quietly resolve to

 I'd expect Craig to help produce a 'better' Movement than we've seen in

Re: (313) Seiji? The hell?

2009-05-06 Thread UI Design
I'm curious if this is the same Seiji I went to Uni with in Liverpool.
 He was from Japan, and he was a very talented and diverse creative
mind.  I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to blend various genres
of music and make it seamless.  In all aspects of the work I saw him
do, he had this talent..., from producing events, to creating video,
to composing music, to operating interactive midi systems, to web
design.  I remember one day he asked me to teach him web design, and
two days later he took the 1 hour tutorial I had given him and taught
himself how to make a website.  Pure genius.

Does anyone know if this is the same Seiji?

hmmm... taking the bait here Tristan

you think Seth Troxler is the best out of Detroit...? I'd never heard
of him so I asked around and just heard some interesting comments
about him... and besides the comments about him starting out as a
trance DJ... from what I hear of his recent local influence...  he
threw a party the same night DJ Seoul from Detroit Techno Militia had
his birthday party, and from what I hear no one showed to Troxler's
event, but over 300 people were at Seoul's...  so, I'm surprised you
think S.T.'s the best music being produced in the city, there's a
whole world of music being produced here thats amazing.  You should do
a bit more research about whats being produced here...

 nearly-as-old and equally important legacy of Detroit house in the same
 breath, if they're only going to utter one sentence. It's not all about the
 fact that techno started in Detroit and that a large part of the techno
 canon is from there. Detroit techno has largely been replaying itself but
 Detroit house continues to remain fresh. See: Reggie Dokes, 3rd Ear, etc.
 I'd say the best techno coming from Detroit today comes from Seth Troxler,
 and that's arguably more house than techno. There's still good Detroit
 techno out there, but not much of it is coming from Detroit. Or that's my
 antagination towards getting some discussion going here again anyway.

from hip hop to rock, jazz to funk, techno to even video. Alter Ego
Management and Booking was formed to serve both the artists
represented and the fans of those artists. Founded in Detroit, there
was a commitment to seeing the success of clients in a city that,
while loaded with talent, lacked the supporting industries to benefit
from that talent. As a jack of all trades, he understood that working
in such an environment mandated familiarity with many different people
with many different skills in many different places in order for his
clients to achieve the types of outcomes they were looking for.
Today Alter Ego boasts a lineup consisting of not only established
talent, but up and coming artists as well. Alter Ego has also played a
significant role in managing not only artists, but specific projects,
from video production to licensing to contract negotiation. So while
the clients benefit from the work being done, their Alter Ego operates
in the background, making sure that they're set up for success.

 successful local artist booths at various festivals, and also

Re: (313) Quit complaining about DEMF and fix it yourself

2009-01-06 Thread UI Design
BACKGROUND about Paxahau's new partner on the DEMF Design Contest.

The 323 East group is owned by Mike McKool, who's a really progressive
person in the city.  He's done some incredible things over the past
year in the city, including opening a very cool gallery, running
successful local artist booths at various festivals, and also
partnering with Detroit's favorite Funk Night (recently rated best
party in America).  Funk night has been running for 8 years, started
by People's Records, and I'm not sure if their new partnership with
McKool is to credit or its their new venue (the Russell Industrial
Center), but in the past 4 months, they have exploded in size.  Going
from an average of 300-600 people per event to 1400 paid through the
door this month.

I've been pleasantly and continuously surprised with the innovative
and steady work McKool has been doing in this city, and I'm really
happy he's partnered with Paxahau for the new branding of DEMF.  It'll
bring in a very diverse new blood of artists into the DEMF arena.

(313) Detroit does it again

2008-10-14 Thread UI Design
For those who haven't heard...

Detroit is host to the  Creative Cities Summit this week, where people
from around the globe are meeting to discuss ways to turn cities into
a Creative one.  It's been an inspiring couple of days so far and
there's another full day to go.

Check it out, as I feel this is the start of a new beginning for the
world's changing economy.

www.CreativeCitiesSummit.com

Also,  check out the Russell Industrial Center,   www.RICDetroit.com
This has turned into the largest Mecca of artists working under one
roof in the Midwest and we expect that it will be the largest in the
world within 3-5 years.
Next time you visit Detroit, you def want to see this place.

Donnie James does all genres, so its very possible he did some
hip-hop.  He's been talking to Mike and them about putting out his
first release, but its a slow process by his own personal design.  He
played a sampling of his tunes for me one day and every track was a
different genre.  All very very good.

I'll left a message for Donnie to ask if that was his.  I'll keep you
posted as soon as I know.

Yeah, it would be a great design if the family tree was made more
accurate.  But I guess with all of the incestuous crossing paths and
confusions about who came first, it's a difficult undertaking to
create a proper tree.

The swirls on the design do well to kind-of hint at the crossovers though.

when I first saw the subject line for this, I guess I missed the word
club... thought it said AV review... so I was curious to see if
anyone else had a similar opinion to the AV at the main stage as I
did...

which is ...  other than for a few brief moments on Monday, the AV was
rather painfully un-artistic, rough, and didn't show me anything I
would've wanted to see on the stage, like what records they were
playing.

Does anyone knows who did the Video Directing?

Wow, Kooky...

I know Tom was guilty on the first account, as I remember when that
threat happened, but on the other 3 guilty verdicts... where did you
base your supporting evidence and where was the jury to define guilt
or innocence?

I know here in America democracy is almost dead, but I thought we
still had a process where a guilty verdict is found through providing
evidence and having a group discussion determine guilt or innocence.

Forgive me for bringing up the Hitler name again, but I think in this
situation, it smells a lot like the Death of a Democracy.  Kook, I
know you've got long-standing beef with Tom, but try to at least put
some sort of evidence like you did in the first guilty verdict.  It'll
make your argument a bit more viable and a bit less dictatorial
a**hole.

   Some things about the recent thread:
  
   1. The big bright line over which one should not cross on the 313 list
   is this: No personal attacks, no threats of violence.  I shouldn't
   think that's controversial.

  Accused: Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
  Verdict:  GUILTY

  2 counts of threatening to physically attack Richie Hawtin and the Kooky 
 Scientist.
  The offer still stands Tom.  Come put me out of my misery...

   2. I make no pretensions of impartiality as a system administrator.
   Impartiality you only get if you pay for it, and this is a volunteer
   position.  I am friends in real life with a lot of people here,
   including Tom Cox.  Anyone I know who gets obnoxious is likely going
   to get the benefit of the doubt from me. Anyone I don't know probably
   won't.  I don't claim to be impartial, but I really try to be fair.

  Accused: Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
  Verdict:  GUILTY


  
   3. I don' t want to shut down or shape discussion on the list. That's
   never been what the 313 list has been about. I don't want to ban
   people from the list either -- that's only happened 3 or 4 times in
   the 14-odd years of 313.  But I don't think personal attacks should be
   a part of the list, ever.  If you can't make your point without
   insulting someone, well, you're not really making your point are you?
   Be a little more creative.
  

  Accused : Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
  Verdict: GUILTY

  My personal opinion is that it should be made MORE PERSONAL !!!


   4. If I was to take a vote, judging by my e-mails, Tom Cox is not a
   popular figure on the list.  Maybe I do give him a free pass because
   I've hung out with him, know his wife etc.  But Tom at least cools his
   sh*t when I ask him.  If I ask someone to back off, and I get
   attitude, it really gets up my nose.
  

  Accused: Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
  Verdict:  GUILTY



   5. If you disagree with someone, you should use that disagreement as a
   means to refine your expression of your own opinion.  If you're mad
   because of something he says, channel it into wit, not vitriol.  Your
   anger means very little in this context; your ability to clearly write
   what you think and feel is everything.

  Accused: Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
  Verdict:  N/A (Complete lack of Wit and creativity)


  
   And everyone should remember: the Internet is forever. Everyone on
   this list is going to be living with the stuff they write on it for
   the rest of their lives. If someone makes you mad, your best revenge
   is to think about , day he or she gets googled twenty years from now

Re: (313) Mixworks Presents... Underground Resistance

2008-04-24 Thread UI Design
Yeah,

Alvin's recently reopened after being shut down for years.  It was
ultra famous for being THE spot for hip-hop, with Proof and the like
always being there.  They reopened about 8 months ago.

I went to a party there the first week of January for Andre of
Mahogani's birthday.  I've got a rather funny story from that weekend.
 I had a DJ in town from the UK, and we went for Andre's birthday and
had a really good time, Slum Village was playing and they did a total
jam session.  I got Alvin's to offer the UK DJ a slot the following
day doing a UK hip-hop/jazzy set, as he plays similar music to what
was being played on the Mahogani/Slum Village gig.

I didn't know this, but Sunday's are usually open-mic night, and it
tends to draw a very different type of crowd than the night before.
Hip-Hop Open-mics tend to get a bit rough in some spots.  Actually,
rough is a mild way to phrase it.  When we walked in, I was a bit in
shock, because it was totally not what we expected.  Completely
different energy than the night before.  This poor guy from the UK was
scared to death going up on the decks in front of one of the roughest
crowds I'd seen in Detroit in awhile. People were glaring and actually
growling at him.  He smoked all of his cigarettes before even going
on,so he asked me to run to the store while he was DJing.  I told him
I couldn't leave him cos they might rush the stage if they didn't like
his set. The look on his face was classic, but I was just being
realistic.  It is Detroit after all, and even though people are
normally very friendly, sometimes you walk into a room with intense
energy.  He played a wicked set though, and the crowd was actually
really feeling it.  It was an interesting experience for the both of
us.  I was actually happy he got to experience what its like to play
in a truly Urban Detroit venue with a very rough urban crowd.

Anyhow, basis of my story is that Alvin's is a historic spot.  If you
can manage to make it to the backstage area, check out all of the
writing on the walls.  I've also got some pics of Alvin's on my
facebook.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=83910id=841750482
The first few in the series are of the back room, we're there talking
with Malik Alston and a hip-hop guy who told us a story of how he's
had more friends die from shoot-outs than he's got alive right now.
Ice on the experience for the guy from the UK.  Very Detroit spot.
Very historic.  Def recommended, especially for UR.  Not sure how the
normal Sunday crowd is going to handle the change up though, but
actually it might be a really good thing, you might get to see some of
the true street dancers show up to this event.

Loads of accolades for the rest of the line-up, then ends with a
derogatory series of remarks about the 3 Detroit names they mentioned.
 Names they claim spend 51 weeks of the year not in the spotlight, and
although the sets will be excellent, you will likely only hear them if
you accidentally walked into the area... as if no one would search out

Hey Robin,

I'd have to disagree with you on that.  I spent 3 years in Liverpool,
just moving back to Detroit 9 months ago, and the two cities have a
lot of similarities even today, actually, especially today.  The
growth occurring in Detroit is symbolically similar to the growth
occurring in Liverpool. Growth being stimulated by funding of the arts
and social programs.  Hundreds of millions of dollars being invested
into Detroit through the Skillman foundation and the Bank of America.
Hundreds of millions of pounds being invested by the EU Capital of
Culture.

  Hmmm I'm not sure Detroit is like either now.

  I think mid 80s Liverpool/Manchester/Sheffield share a lot in common
  with present day Detroit in terms of the dereliction of ex-industrial
  areas, abandonment of buildings and maybe even in the feeling of
  despair. Things have changed in the UK now though so the comparison is
  less valid these days.

  btw. to keep this on topic: One of the reasons Detroit music has been
  popular in the above northern UK cities (even going back to northern
  soul days) is because of the fact that they have industrial pasts.
  There's also massive differences too so I'm not saying the comparison
  really holds.

  tell.  Hauling someone up on perjury charges for trying to keep a
  private matter private is BS -- it's the same as Clinton's
  impeachment.


It's not the same as Clinton's impeachment because of a whole string
of reasons.  Starting with 2 girls are dead, policemen were fired
because they were trying to investigate the deaths, and then Kwame
pushed the city into a lawsuit that cost the city more than $8mil
during a trial where he was lying about the facts even before it even
went to trial.  I mean, if he really cared about the city, then he
wouldn't have forced the city to pay $8mil+ for something that he was
knowingly committing perjury for.

Whatever the case, NPR and a number of other media stations are
utilizing this Detroit political fight as a reference to the national
US political mess we are experiencing in the presidential office.  If
you listened to NPR the day the Detroit news was announced, they spent
the morning talking about Kwame, and they spent the afternoon taking
callers who wanted to remember their loved ones who died in the Iraq
war.  People were making comments about how after Suddham was hanged,
it should have been Bush and Chaney in the electric chair for the
wrongdoings they've done.  This went on for a few hours, with people
talking about how the President and VP need to be impeached and tried
for their war crimes.

Symbolic.  Detroit has a powerful effect on the globe.  This trial
with Kwame just may lead into the trial of the nations biggest
criminals, Bush and Chaney.  I think the world will be watching
closely on this one.  I hope this Detroit mess fuels the nations
ability to get a trial together against Bush and Chaney, who have cost
the nation billions in a war that was started from their lies.

the night that he was booked.  There was easily 400 people standing
outside waiting to get in.  That's very untypical of Detroit events.

I mean, those numbers do happen, my event Dec 30th had over 450 people

More than 400 people for one Electronic Music Artist...  thats really
rare in this city...  so as much as I cringed when I saw his name on

I had just been asking someone who works with them the same question
the other day.  We were at a bar, so forgive my hazy memory for
specific details

They've been formed officially as Paxahau for more than 11 years.
Hoovar has had an influence in party promotions in Detroit since the
early-mid 90s.  Mid 90s is when the suburbanites started heading to
Detroit in the 1,000's every weekend in order to party at the Raves.
(The raves and those years are a part of Detroit history thats not
often talked about on this 313 site or any of the overseas Detroit
enthusiasts.  The raves did have a massive influence on Detroit
though, as literally 1,000s of people came to the city every weekend
and raves were held in buildings that were otherwise unused, actually
helping the building owners to make some income where there was none.)

So, yeah, in business since the 97 or before, Hoovar worked with the
Detroit party scene for 4+ years before that.  I don't know anything
about which parties he worked with or who or where.  As I said,
details are hazy, but I did get the understanding during the
conversation that Hoovar has been involved with the city for longer
than people have given him credit for previously.

Suburbanites, although I don't get how people can live in the burbs, I
do understand that when I lived in the burbs 10+ years ago, I still
came to Detroit to spend my money, and many people in Detroit
completely appreciates those suburbanites coming here to spend theirs
now.

the evolution of the Winter Music Conference..  over the years the
conference has evolved completely into a festival of mass proportions.

Or even comparing it to the debate I used to hear over and over again
about Vinyl vs CD, turntables vs Laptop.
Evolution is part of life.
It sometimes doesn't matter how much better you think it used to be.
And to be fair...  was it really that good at the beginning?  I
mean... yeah, the music line-ups were amazing...  but were the bills
to the production staff paid...? No...  causing a lot of people in
this city to struggle in one capacity or another...  I know one person
who was owed $9,000 after a fest w/ Carol... that was only one person
out of the many people that filed lawsuits trying to get their money,
but no luck... and this was during the years that the city invested an
est. $300,000 a year in DEMF.
So...  DEMF has changed... the city no longer invests like that...
they have to fund it all themselves...  the music line-ups have
changed...  and people are actually getting paid what they were
promised...  some things are for the better...  don't get me wrong, I
can come up with 50 things they should do that could make it better
and another 20 things I'm angry that they changed, but I recognize
that it's a bit foolish to try to stop change, and even more foolish
to think DEMF the first 3 years were the perfect symbol for what DEMF
should be

  what Paxahau is doing is Movement

  I've come to the conclusion that, although they both have taken place in
  the same place and the same annual dates, the festivals are two different
  things with two almost entirely different spirits

  Paxahau's Movement festival isn't DEMF, although it does use the tag
  line - Detroit's Electronic Music Festival
  It's not THE Detroit Electronic Music Festival
  The Detroit Electronic Music Festival doesn't exist anymore and more than
  likely will never again
  I'm glad I got to experience it - it was during a time when they could get
  away with bringing in THAT much talent, legendary artists that  I REALLY
  respect without asking for any money from any of the fans
  Celebrating Detroit, Detroit music, Detroit electronic music, and 1st
  through 3rd (and 4th) waves of Detroit influence

  splitting hairs maybe but I've pretty much come to realize that Paxahau
  probably don't feel any obligation or need to keep the festival in line
  with the original spirit of the original DEMF
  Therefore, Paxahau isn't soiling the legacy of the DEMF because they aren't
  doing THE Detroit Electronic Music Festival

  I'm happy that I can say I was there when...
  It might never happen again but how often do those times get repeated
  anyway?

  well, those are my coping skills explained anyway  ;-)

  Just back from the show in Detroit and it was kickin like a mule. I showed
  up [late] just in time to catch the end of d. wynn throwing down an all
  detroit set to a capacity crowd (1000-3000 people i don't know). 10 multi-
  color intellibeams and one wild green laser which was passed though a sheet
  of gauze hanging from the ceiling to the wall 100 yards back. The direction
  and intensity of the beam were programmable and it was used to make
  geometric shapes and draw cartoons! oh the location is a converted theater
  on woodward between downtown and the art museum. true detroit architecture
  right out back: a seven story burnt out building.
  the show was divided into Techno in the main theater and house in an
  upstairs bowling alley (!) Most house is new to me and it was a real
  grooving place to chill when the techno got too pounding.
  Back to the main event.  After D wynn came Blake Baxter who was befuddled

  him was Manix a KMS rave 'band' which consisted of one guy prompting
  'make some noise' 'detroit' 'put your hands in the air'  yeah yeah

  Hello everyone!

 Ummm, just thought I would mention this interesting tidbit that
  happened to me this morning.  I was woken up from a deep slumber at 11AM by
  a phone call from none other than MOBY.  He wanted my address so he could
  send me a revised version of the MOBY FAQ that Mike Brown is currently
  maintaining (I gave him a copy a few weeks ago).  He then asked me about
  recommendations for Macintosh computers.  He was shopping for one to use
  in his studio.  When I get the update, I'll make sure I both

  a) post it
  b) send it to Mike for revision/addition

 Sorry to waste bandwidth, but I thought it was cool.

I wouldn't say he's turning up regularly...  at least not yet...  in
the past 6 months I know of 3 he's not shown for and 1 of those was
here in Detroit for a night Minx was throwing...  it was a shame
really, no show no call even...  I felt bad for Minx...   she was
pretty embarrassed...

I'm glad to hear he's shown up to some of his more recent gigs though.
Also happy to hear he's looking healthier.  Last I heard he was having
a hard time with Diabetes.  It was second hand information though, so
it may be wrong.

  One thing about him, that Terrence Parker said to me a few years back
  when I asked about Juan.  Terrence said that it's one thing to make a
  few records and show up to DJ at parties and have a few people know
  who you are.  It's quite another to be in the position of being a
  founding artist in a whole new genre, whose early work attained mythic
  status in the scene.  He thought Juan felt that pressure keenly.

  There's the man Juan who is showing up to play a show, and there's
  this giant mythical beast following him around like a shadow.  Some
  people -- i.e. Derrick -- can surf the wave of their reputation and
  enjoy the ride.  Others like Kevin Saunderson, are grounded in family
  and church, and let the crazy stuff slide.  Juan is in a third
  category. Don't know those guys, can't speak for them, just my
  impressions from the outside.

  It is extremely good news to me that he appears to be in better health
  and has been turning up regularly for his shows.

That Record Store you were looking for in Hamtramck is called Detroit
Threads, not Record Time.  It's definitely still there, he's got an
amazing collection, very diverse, and definitely worth a stop-off.
Also, don't forget Vibes, on 8-mile, its Rick Wilhites store, although
you'll probably need a guide to get there, as its hard to find, and
you have to be buzzed in, worth it though, as its one of the best
house music stores in the country and def THE best Detroit House music
store anywhere in the world.

Sushi at Oslo's is a good recommendation.

And don't forget to get your coffee, muffins and red bull at the Urban
Bean Co.  This place was Blake Baxters old record store, and this
place will be open 24-7 during the fest.  They have turntables and
programmed and open table times where people from out of town can hop
on.  The owner of this  coffee shop, Josh Greenwood, is infamous in
the city for his influence, through Push, Motormouth magazine, Dalley
in the Alley and a few more.  Def worth a stop-through.  Corner of
Grand River and Griswold, prob a 7 minute bike ride, and 15-20 minute
walk from Hart Plaza, straight up Woodward to Grand River, go one
block to Griswold.

I am a white girl who rides my bike every day during the summer, to
work, to the store, even to the bars and clubs.  I've never had a
problem, other than the ongoing hellos from people as I pass by, that
kind of freaked me out a bit at first because living in the UK,
especially in Liverpool, people don't tend to say hello to people they
don't know, but in Detroit, there is a strong sense of southern
hospitality, people say hello to one another as they pass by, in
elevators, on the streets, everywhere you go.

Just as in every other city, there are places you wouldn't want to
ride your bike, as it gets a bit dangerous, but during the daytime, I
tend to not worry where I ride, just after dark I try to be cautious.
People here do tend to bring there bikes into their apartments, so I'd
suggest speaking to your hotel to see if they have an inside storage
space for bikes.

Bike riding in Detroit has become more and more popular, as the gas
prices are very high.  I tend to see 4-10 bike riders a day at the
minimum in the summer and I work a 11-5, so I'm sure I miss the
majority of good biking hours.  It's a major city, so yes, you will be
riding amongst a lot of highrises and parking lots, but theres also
parks, the river walk, the graffitti mile (which will hopefully be
renovated enough by DEMF you can ride from the lake front to Eastern
Market).  Detroit's very spread out, so you shouldn't expect to ride
from downtown to Record Time Roseville for an outing, that would end
up being a 20+ mile journey roundtrip.  There are very cute
neighborhoods that are a good ride-through, such as Woodbridge, which
is about a 10 minute ride from Hart Plaza.

I'd suggest a guide, though, for anything your doing in the city,
especially if you've never been here before.  If your interested in a
bike tour around the city, I'd be willing to do a tour on the Saturday
from noon till 2.  Let me know.

 I'm thinking more of would you get pulled off the bike if someone wanted it.

 I had a look at Detroit on Google earth, and it looks like there's a huge
 green belt almost between the city center and the suburbs, and the city
 centre is comprised of masses of huge empty vacant lots. It looks weird for
 a City. Is everything in the center on a large scale, or are there areas of
 old housing and row shops etc...On the bike would you be cycling between
 high rises and carparks?

 only 114 (36%) of the 315 individual performers over the last eight

 detroit (80%)
 
   what we need is the percentages by year to see what the breakdown is
   like. my personal favorite year was 03 (i missed the first 3 though)
   and that one had to have been like 75% detroit area artists.
 

 that would be ideal, yes, but i'd bet that what has really happened is
 that the overall number of performers has increased, while the detroit
 representation has stayed about the same.  and, realistically, i think
 the problem is that there are just a finite number of people djing and
 making music in detroit.  hence KMS getting booked a ridiculous five
 times.  it is a crime, however, that rob hood has only been booked
 once.  and derrick and jeff have only played once as well.

 Kevin Saunderson has played five times, and Mike Grant and Mike
 Huckaby have each played four times.
 
   WTF on saunderson 5 times, grant and huck deserve to play every year!

Dan... thanks for the input... since you won't be arriving until the
Saturday, does that mean you'll be staying for a few days after the
festival finishes?  You doing any interviews while your here?

Tom... I'll keep you posted, as soon as I know confirmation of the
groups, I'll let you know.  You know, I can't help but feel a bit of a
happyness hearing you say no matter what I have on it sounds
interesting...  I know how picky (and knowledgeable) you are with your
music, and if you think it sounds interesting without even hearing
who's playing... well, anyways, it just makes me feel happy for now...
I have a press date of April 25th. so I'll let you know by then whats
going to be booked.

Let me know when you'll be in Detroit and what you've got planned
already.I know I personally really want to hit up the Soul Skate
this year.

 Hey Everyone...

 I know there's a lot of complaints from people about DEMF never
 listening to people about what the people want... so I figured I
 should ask the enthusiasts of Detroit music what they would like to
 see.

 I'm Programming the Campus Martius Park FREE 4th Fridays Festival
 that happens within walking distance from Hart Plaza the day before
 DEMF begins, and I'm gearing this event towards a Neo-Soul sound with
 DJ appeal.

 It's got to be live music, danceable, and able to connect with even
 those people who may not understand what Neo-Soul, Detroit House or
 Techno might be.

 I've got a list of people I'm putting forth already, I'm just really
 curious as to what the 313 hyperreal board would want to see.

I'm sorry Tom, maybe it's my shortage of sleep or the mass amounts of
coffee I had this morning... but I keep trying to comprehend what your
saying with this and I can't .  If its important, can you rephrase
this?  Make it simple so my mind thats too tired to keep up with the
racing caffeine can comprehend.

 hmmm, im actually not so sure about that. i remember people getting
 lots of longer sets earlier, these past couple of years many people
 have been restricted to only 1 hour sets. i dont know if there have
 definitely been more performers recently, but it feels like it is
 possible with such short set times.

   but here's

 there are cats all over the place in detroit! but even more
 importantly than the actual detroit guys that they book, i think the
 detroit related artists have been consistantly going down to the point
 where many people playing probably dont even care that they are in
 detroit as opposed to any other city.

  Just wondering if anyone could recommend some decent podcasts, which
  play quality deep electronic music.  Don't really want it too hard,
  pref a mixture of stuff.   The RA podcasts are always good, but i'm
  not really looking for mixes (unless there are any more andy stott
  sounding mixes out there!)

  Current fav is the riotcontrol podcast.  Dam fine.

  Another i have heard is the bodytonic (the spirit catcher one has some
  nice stuff on it)

  For English humour i enjoy the adam and joe podcast which is on bbc6.

  Cheers, have good wkds,

  Paul

Re: (313) 313 list T Shirts for DEMF?

2008-02-21 Thread UI Design
How would getting the shirts done in the UK make it cheaper?

There are a lot of screen printing houses here in Detroit that are
really good. With the exchange rate, its cheaper to get them done here
in Detroit.

And for Kent (apologies for sending that last one through with rich
text, I know most the list didn't see the above), I understand that
your thinking of those in Europe, I am too. A month ago, I had a
clothing company from the UK contact me about outsourcing their screen
printing to a company here in Detroit because of the cost difference.
They will save more than 3/4 of the printing price and they get to
help the Detroit economy by printing them at a Detroit Artist
Community Center.  They're speaking to the trade association about
tariffs, and it still looks like they'll save at last 1/2.

This list is about the 313 influence.  I vote we do them in Detroit
and in turn help benefit Detroit Artists in a Detroit Community
Center.

After moving from Liverpool to Detroit in June, I lost my email
address that was signed up to the hyperreal account.

Finally had the time to sign up to hyperreal again, and I'm very happy
to be back.  Missed the ongoing discussions about the global views and
opinions of Detroit.

Thanks again to those who aided in my University dissertation about
Detroit's international social networks.  I received the highest UK
standard of a 1st mark.  All of your input really helped a lot.

All the best,
