Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Ok little late on this but i am catching up on my e-mail. Last time i heard Robert Hood play was really, really, really horrible i was pissed all night just hearing him play. I think he doesnt live in Minimal Nation any more and some should do a Coup d'état there very quickly if there is anything to be saved. If Inner City live is anything like their first performance at the DEMF/Movement or whatever you seriously do not want to miss it. They had a full-on band on stage (including backing vocals). It was raining like crazy but Hart Plaza was loaded and the show started with Kevin shouting One nation under a technogroove and 5000 people going crazy and shouting along. That show was top notch and it was one of the best (techno) live-acts i have ever seen, period. (Any one who was there and disagrees needs professional help) On 24 mei 2010, at 16:03, kent williams wrote: Well, to my mind it's a no brainer -- Inner City will be meh, Derrick May plays everywhere all the time.

i agree with our man Kent here, it makes my decision a lot either, no sophie's choice during the first night.

RE: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Plus Hood is billed as 'live' which make it a pretty rare performance. Hopefully it is 'live live' and not DJing with efx, like some of his other 'live' billings have been.

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Inner City's performance may be only so-so, but I would still like to hear them live. Given that their sound is from a different era, it will likely be a welcome stylistic change in music. Derrick May may play everywhere all the time, but he never plays near where I live so it would be silly to miss the opportunity to hear him again. He's always played well and interestingly when I've heard him so I see no reason to skip him altogether. That said, I love Hood to bits!!! Granted, I was truly disappointed with his amazingly lackluster set the last time he played the main stage at DEMF, but I can forgive him since I've heard him play enough times to know that he can send me into orbit in a way that very few DJs can, especially when he plays in smaller venues. The fact that he'll be playing live makes me super curious. Changes are opt for May and Hood and pop into Inner City occasionally I hate having to float from stage to stage, but sometimes it can't be helped. {}0+| On 5/24/2010 10:03 AM, kent williams wrote: Well, to my mind it's a no brainer -- Inner City will be meh, Derrick May plays everywhere all the time.

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Derrick is 9-11, not 9-10. That means that both Hood and Inner City will be performing during his set. I would rather not have to interrupt listening to Derrick's set to hear the other performers, but I also don't want to miss Hood or Inner City. That's the prob.

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Honestly, if it were the only thing going on, I'd love May, but he's going to be playing records (and likely the big room tracks most 313'ers don't care about), but Hood live will melt your face off and then rush your t*ts off.

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
Just to chime in - Inner City were billed to play here in Glasgow a couple of months ago and a couple of people who's opinion I trust went along and said it was...more than a little dissapointing to be generous about it. Just Paris Grey singing some of the parts of Inner City tracks over a DAT (very 1990's!!!) and not even all the lead vocals either!!

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
I've no doubt that Kevin Saunderson will show up to be on main stage for this, and who knows, maybe they've worked up something live-ish (or Live-ish perhaps) to perform, but I can't get that worked up about missing this. The last time I saw Saunderson at DEMF he played a pretty generic big room hands in the air set*, with a few cheesy prog-house tracks in the mix. I'm more of a small room, sweat on the walls kind of person, so it did nothing for me. Nothing would please me more than to hear afterwards DUDE, It was AMAZING! but my hopes aren't high. *this is a real problem, especially in Europe, where they still have big room events. There's a certain kind of least common denominator set that gets a big reaction from a large crowd of pilled-up punters. So the DJs that play out 2 or 3 times a week all the time tend to streamline their sets to What Always Works. And just as all cars optimized for drag coefficient will tend to look the same, all perfected Big Room DJ sets will look the same. That's fine if you want the biggest reaction from a big crowd, but it's generic and uninspiring to anyone who actually cares about the music. It means that Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Kevin Saunderson, Benny Benassi, Carl Cox, etc all sound the same.

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
One DEMF tip for all -- if you're in one spot and you're enjoying it, don't be tempted to try a different stage because it might be better! You end up spending the whole weekend walking between stages, and you still miss the good stuff. It's like traveling in Europe -- do you want to see places, or train stations?

Re: (313) DEMF Schedule Released!!!
All true but when I did see KMS in Europe (at Berghain in December 2008, following an off-the-hook live set by Octave One), he stayed away from the anthems and played deep and well. Wish I could have the dilemma of the DEMF schedule, but I can't be there this year. In a way I don't mind taking a break but the best part of the festival is seeing all of you plus the rest of my extended Detroit family... fh - I've no doubt that Kevin Saunderson will show up to be on main stage for this, and who knows, maybe they've worked up something live-ish (or Live-ish perhaps) to perform, but I can't get that worked up about missing this.
