oops. Sense of humour too dry.

Merely suggesting Detroit as a noun and as a describing word indicated
removal of the capitalization. Sorry - only just back on the email. Not an
attack to my knowledge???

Im not familiar enough with Matt Chester's wax, but Detroit is a big city,
Im sure there's room for us both ;-|

 I beg your pardon?

 Lets talk about live sets for a change - who are your favourite
 Detroit live artists  why?
 I saw Rob Hood live recently and was pretty disappointed - he was
 doing the whole 'play one track, stop, reprogram, play another track'
 thing.

 A lot of detroit artists seem to do that, performing more like a band,
 i've never really understood why.   Does anyone here prefer that kind
 of

 show to a continuously evolving set?
 Carl Craig last year at the festival was phenomenal I thought - he
 gets plenty of criticism these days for various reasons but that
 totally blew

 me away...Scan 7  Octave One both do very tight shows too.

 NB -No chat about hardware vs laptop btw, this is strictly about
 talent!   And first person to mention Jeff or Richie gets a severe
 beating...  :p

Yeah, Kevin Reynolds is great.  He's playing at the Bohemian National
Home this Saturday in Detroit.  Also love Octave One and Scan 7.  I
went to a Scan 7 and Surgeon party last fall at TV Bar in Detroit, it
was slamming.  Except, TV Bar is called TV Bar for a reason - it's a
bar with bunches of flat screen TVs all around, pretty cheesy and they
get in the way.  Like there's a huge tv right behind the DJ stage.
?  And, Surgeon left it on during his set, playing cartoons with
the captions turned on.  ??? Thankfully, when Lou Robinson got up
there (it was just him as Scan 7 that night), he turned the tv off
right quick.  His live set was really great.

I caught Dan Bell doing his live set on Sunday. heres a video 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHWubgSXMrMfeature=channel_page. He was 
playing all hardware. I saw a pro one, 909, rackmount sampler and mixing 
desk. The set was faithful reproductions of all the dbx classics with 
live vocals. Pretty much the same as at DEMF but cool to see the 
action up close. Didn't really seem to be improvised or spontaneous at 
all but fun.

Going on ten years now, but Theorem sticks in the mind as one of the most
satisfying and sonically involving live techno acts I've witnessed, partly
due to the warmth of personality/sound he generated. No flash, all the
fireworks were in the music.

As mentioned by others, Octave One/RNG can be incredible live from my
experience, due to their understanding of the dynamics of the genre. Pacing
like a good dj set, but jacked up to a truly moving level both emotionally
and physically. 

Cheers,

Wes

 Lets talk about live sets for a change - who are your favourite Detroit
 live artists  why?
 I saw Rob Hood live recently and was pretty disappointed - he was doing
 the whole 'play one track, stop, reprogram, play another track' thing.
 A lot of detroit artists seem to do that, performing more like a band,
 i've never really understood why.   Does anyone here prefer that kind of
 show to a continuously evolving set?
 Carl Craig last year at the festival was phenomenal I thought - he gets
 plenty of criticism these days for various reasons but that totally blew
 me away...Scan 7  Octave One both do very tight shows too.
 
 NB -No chat about hardware vs laptop btw, this is strictly about
 talent!   And first person to mention Jeff or Richie gets a severe
 beating...  :p

 Sometimes I think that pretty much every possible thing to be said
 about Detroit Techno has been said already on this list, multiple
 times, well and poorly, so we await new developments, which can be
 thin on the ground, especially in summer.
 
 It's like the contemporary authors whose books I read. There are 15 or
 20 authors whose books I will read as soon as they're published.  Most
 of the time I'm caught up, and I just want them to write faster.
