Rolando's set was the highlight of the festival for me too. Superb DJ!

Anton, while shopping in Detroit over the weekend I came across the
Vector Lovers CD, a few tracks from which you'd played on your radio
show a while back. I really like what I heard on your show and decided
to buy the album.
I like this album a lot and I probably wouldn't have known who they were
if it hadn't been for you so some e-thanks are in order.
I didn't anticipate having a 313-moment while CD shopping, so I guess it
could be said that you did have a vicarious presence at Record Time for
a moment :)

Re: (313) DEMF 2010 weekend
Great report - thanks for taking the time to write it all down - sounds like you managed to fit a lot (maybe too much??) in? Hard not to I suppose if you're only in town for a couple of days. Great to hear all your stories though! cheers Jason On 4 June 2010 16:40, darnistle darnis...@cafe-ebola.com wrote: We arrived in Detroit late Friday morning and made our way to Submerge before checking into the hotel. For such a small store, it felt like there was a lot to delve into. I only made my way through half the stacks before I had to leave, but I found lots and lots of treats nonetheless. We also checked out the Detroit techno exhibit upstairs. I'm glad Cliff (I think that was his name) brought it to our attention. I also made a trip to Ya Digg records. I was truly surprised when I pulled up to the address and saw the building it is in. I thought I'd written down the wrong information. That was completely NOT was I was expecting. The store itself was a bit hard to find, which was a good thing because I had an opportunity to see the variety of other businesses within the building. I guess that is a perfect example of adaptive reuse. I wonder how many other factories have been similarly reutilized? Gotta luv Detroit! Ya Digg itself is a small store and still needs to settle into the space. It apparently opened just recently. I didn't have enough energy to dig through the stacks, so I limited myself to two small sections and managed to spot a number of interesting items in no time. Cha-ching Local heads may want to check it out, though you may want to come ready to rummage. Friday evening I went to the film fest at Detroit Music Hall, primarily to see Metropolis. I've had Jeff Mills' soundtrack for years and I've seen the original movie, but never in conjunction. I thought his music worked for the most part, though the ambient sections seemed to work better and more often than the beat-driven sections. Seeing the film while in Detroit seemed gave a whole new relevance to the storyline... The 'Timeless Suite for Ma Dukes' was curious. I don't know J Dilla's music at all, so I had no point of reference. The orchestrations did sound interesting. However, I noticed that at least two Erik Satie pieces were performed in their original and then orchestrated forms yet Satie wasn't mentioned, only the song titles. If I didn't know any better, I might assume those were J Dilla songs. I had to leave the theatre to put more $$$ in the parking meter, so I missed the final credits. Hopefully, Satie was given due credit. I still don't understand why Satie pieces were being performed during that concert and what connection Satie and J Dilla have. If anyone can explain, I'd appreciate it... The Drive Home was fun to watch. The audience reactions were very funny. I had to leave early, so I couldn't stay to hear Timeline perform, unfortunately. After resting a while at the hotel, I decided to check out the Dub Science party. Never found it. I guess it would have helped if I'd been in the right part of town... :) Eventually, I gave up and went to the Black Nation party at The Works. Did Jay Denham and/or Scan7 play at all? If so, when? Granted, I got there pretty late, but by 4am I gave up and went back to the hotel. I will say up front that Paxahau should be commended for having improved the sound quality in the underground stage. After trying different configurations, they actually found a setup that alleviated some of the aural problems that have plagued that space. Standing on the sidelines, the increased clarity was obvious but it became even more obvious once I went into the pit for the full aural experience. Deep, chest-rattling bass and sufficient representation in the mids and highs to make it somewhat easier to discern what was actually going on in the tracks. Of all the stages, the music at the underground stage was most often in tune with what I wanted to hear at the festival so I gravitated towards it. Patrice Scott's set was nice warm-up music. Since I'd managed to tire myself out before the festival even began, I just sat and listened. It was a good way to ease into the weekend. I really enjoyed Nico Marks' set too. I'd never heard of him before, so it was pleasant treat. I liked what I heard so much I picked up one of his CDs (he obviously has quite a number) at Record Time and have been enjoying it. Wouldn't mind hearing more of his work. Mark Ernestus and Scion's sets were good, but it was much too quiet. Not that I was expecting the sound system to be cranked up all the way, but it really wasn't loud enough to fill the space sufficiently. What I did hear was good but I was more interested in staying out of the sun/heat so I never lingered at the main stage for very long. Onur Ozer's set was kinda interesting and was the only thing I heard at the Beatport stage all weekend that I could

Good stuff regardless.

Re: (313) DEMF 2010 weekend
Thanks all for your various reports. Reading them made me slightly feel like being there. Because due to a dark tale of plane overbooking i couldn’t make it. I was so piqued that i took the week off and went hiking in Normandy. I’d like to thank my Shorecrest room mates for their understandings. — K* Le 06/06/2010 14:51, ja...@iridite.com a écrit : Great report - thanks for taking the time to write it all down - sounds like you managed to fit a lot (maybe too much??) in?
