RE: (313) Movement 04
Gutted I never got there, all these reports are killing me but in a good way.. I did have ticket but due to powers above and beyond it just didn't happen.. anyway I am checking out the Kevin Suaderson mix on the site and I am a little dissapionted at his choice and his mixing but it seems lots of people were enjoying it, so what was the crowd like this year? I know when I went last year I heard many Detroiters complaining about a certain type of person( can't remebr the name given) coming in and so I wonder did Kevin pick up on this and played to the masses instead of playing what he would normally play? -Original Message- From: kj at technotourist dot org [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 03/06/2004 14:13 To: 313 Mailinglist List Cc: Subject: Re: (313) Movement 04 The most funniest thing i got was this sticker Tom Linder gave to me with the 2 words "Jit Happens" On it.

RE: (313) movement 04
Exactly the point I was going to make, but you beat me to it ;-) Of course this list is all about voicing your opinions and having discussions about wether or not you think some artist or festival or wathever is crap. No matter if you have extensive experience in that field or not. But saying stuff like "...How you can take over something like Movement and not turn a profit is beyond ridiculous to me", when you don't have the experience to know what you are talking about can only deserve a STFU. But anyway, let's please get back from shouting "you suck!" to the referee to playing in the field ourselves. Joost > -Original Message- > From: Thomas D.

Well, I guess I just get p***ed at people who just have a pop and do nothing to change anything, of course you are entitled to your say but music has always been subjective, I would just ask that people become more objective but then again I've never been one to take the easy way out.

Re: (313) movement 04
Righty right, Stewart! The only difference between Atomly and Derrick May at this point is that he's done one festival. I'm sure he had a learning curve to overcome last year. But to say say that Atomly doesn't have a right to his opinion because he's never done it before is an empty argument. I too was a bit curious as to the lack of a VARIETY of live acts last year. And before anyone says there was this and that one playing live, yes there were a lot. There were also several of those live acts that played several times at different stages no less. I really applaud the fact that many of these performers decided to play for free. But, then again, who wouldn't?!? I think they could have easily filled the empty slots with hungry new talent from here and elsewhere easily. There are a lot of DJs and live acts that would have done it simply for the exposure, and many of them were here for the festival anyway, so no travel fees to worry about. I don't think that anyone was ever debating the fact that putting on a festival of this magnitute is a pain in the blankety-blank, but there is always room for progress and change for the better. If not, they should have just stopped after the success of the first year.

i have no problem with people making valid criticism. i hate seeing someone who is just being ignorant trying to tear down something do great like he could do better. pshaw. good luck man. when's the yearly ATOMLY ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL gonna start featuring groundbreaking performers from all over the world? ha. aww man go easy tho. dabrye, amp fiddler, pole, dwele, detroit experiment, liquid liquid, esg, midwest product, john arnold, ayro, double helix, norma jean bell, time:space, etc. those are just the people that i caught playing live. thats not some joker business there. i think no it's decent, but a little light on detroit techno and electro. dwele and njb had already played previous years as well. pole's last album was terrible. anyways i didnt go so i cant comment a whole lot, except to say as nice as that is the balance has still shifted towards dj's, and the live acts, as good as they may be, dont pack the punch of the first two years rosters..the third year left a taste in my mouth bad enough to not go last year, hopefully it was betetr than the third..yeah? hey so why cant kraftwerk play? coachella is good enough but not the d?? bitches! :P _ Check out the great features of the new MSN 9 Dial-up, with the MSN Dial-up Accelerator. http://click.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/

Re: (313) movement 04
By most accounts, last year's lineup was the strongest since the first DEMF. Even accounting for some variation, I've found the lineups to be well above my quite high tolerance level for big public events. I mean, I'm the kind of person who will walk out of a movie half an hour in if it sucks. (Better choice: read the reviews and avoid bad movies! But you can't let movie reviewers run your life either :) I guess we'll just have to disagree about last year's performers. If this is charted as "defensive," so be it. I am glad to see Derrick May is talking about mixing it up again this year and bringing in more bands. The festival can't progress without change. fred

Eyewash to us, but not to the city and certainly not to sponsors. As far as lineups are concerned, I'd certainly be much more apt to travel to see the likes of Tikiman, Rich circa DE9, Assault, Godfather, The Roots, Mos Def, Autechre, Stacey Pullen, Inner City, Tortoise, Jazzanova, Nobukazu Takemura, Kooky Scientist, Prefuse 73, Kit Clayton, Laurent Garnier, De La Soul, Mix Master Mike, Kenny Larkin, Todd Sines, Common Factor, Tiki Man, Derrick Carter, Perspects, A Guy Called Gerald, DBX, Cash Money and Derek Plaslaiko than what has been booked the last few years. Maybe it just comes down to personal preference, but I'd honestly pay money to see any of these people and put any four of them together and I'd travel to see it. The same can't be said, however, for the last few festivals. -- :: atomly :: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.atomly.com ... [ atomiq records : po box 805319 chicago il 60680 : 312.804.5389 ...

Re: (313) movement 04
You talk about defensiveness, Atomly, but then you say things like this: "Carl Craig booked a diverse lineup that you couldn't see anywhere else in the world whereas last year they must've done all the bookings out of a Detroit white pages from 1996." Let's review the evidence then. Open up the phone directory and we find: Akufen Amp Fiddler Andres Aril Brikha Ayro Ben Bracken Blaze (TBC) Brad Hales Buzz Goree Carl Craig and Detroit Experiment Carlos Souffront Clark Warner Danny Krivit Dabrye Delano Smith DJ Spinna (TBC) Double Helix Dwele D Wynn Eddie Fowlkes ESG Francois K Fusion Genesis Grandwizzard Theodore Jazzy Jay Jeff Mills Jimmy Edgar Jon Arnold John Beltran Juan Atkins Kevin Saunderson and Kenny Larkin K. Hand Korie Liquid Liquid Magda Marcellus Pittman Matthew Dear Mike Clark Mike Grant Milo (Wild Bunch/Massive Attack) Niko Marks (TBC) Norma Jean Bell Norm Talley Perspects Peven Everett Pole Reese Project Reggie Dokes Richie Hawtin (TBC) Rolando Ron Trent Sans Soliel Scott Zacharias Anthony (Shake) Shakir Slum Village Spacek Stacey Hale Stacy Pullen Szysmanski Tamion 12" The 3 Chairs featuring Kenny Dixon Jr. Theo Parrish Thinkbox Thomas Fehlman Time:Space Ursula Rucker Vikter Duplaix Wolf Eyes (pulled this list from the Freep lineup in an early May 2003 news story so it's not 100% accurate) I'll see Mike Grant, Agent X, my man Reggie Dokes, Shake, Kelli, Clark, Buzz, John Arnold, etc. etc. etc. ANY DAY. As for those attendance figures, everyone knows they are eyewash. If anything, the festival is too crowded at least half the time, given the physical limitations of Hart Plaza. But that also keeps the crowds to a manageable level. fred

["Thomas D. Cox, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] > anyway, i wonder why your name didnt pop up when they were getting > their finances together this year since you seem to think its so easy. OK, I totally don't understand this reasoning. So from now on I can't complain about a record unless I offer to do a remix for them or something? I thought I was allowed to state my opinion-- maybe I'm wrong. I like how defensive you guys all got about this. I made a simple statement that they somehow managed to drop attendance from 1M to 600K and I think it was for good reason. They've lost all the excitement of the lineup and managed to take it from one of the most exciting festivals ever organized to something I only went to for one night last year. Carl Craig booked a diverse lineup that you couldn't see anywhere else in the world whereas last year they must've done all the bookings out of a Detroit white pages from 1996. In my opinion they're booking too many acts and spending too much money on people that I don't think will draw enough people to justify what they're paying for them. And anybody who says people aren't in this for "profit" is lying to themselves. If you're making music or doing shows for a living, you can't afford to lose money on every gig you play or every show you book. I know a lot of people who managed to still make a living off of music last year. In tight times you just have to be more careful about what you do. -- :: atomly :: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.atomly.com ... [ atomiq records : po box 805319 chicago il 60680 : 312.804.5389 ...

RE: Fw: Re: (313) movement 04
Just wanted to agree too... I think that by ourdays, festivals are more "Cultural" events, than some private companies sources of profit... I can tell you that 80% of the live acts I've made in last 3 years in festivals (even if its 90% in Europe, where its the same situation anyway) were possible because of some sponsors or Governement cultural budgets... Specially for free festivals... Even if I think that lots of governement budgets are too low...or (its the case in Belgium) just dedicated to "Classical music", nothing for electronic, rock music etc... So, its also the moment to talk about sponsoring for underground music...(because I know that if we are talking about Movement, we will have to talk about sponsorship..) If we need to wear a "Ford" t-shirt (ok its maybe too much ;-)..., to have a chance to make the people ear/discover our music ...why not... Sponsoring exist for many centuries...it made possible some of the nicest italian sculptures and peinting during renaissance hey !...of course Ford didn't exist by these days, but was the same kind of business...;-) Fabrice Lig From: Fred Heutte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Subject: Fw: Re: (313) movement 04 Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2004 13:58:40 -0800 I couldn't disagree more.

Re: (313) movement 04
I don't know Adam. What's the business model? Let me see: Hire multiple giant sound systems for three days, install them on gigantic custom built stages, pay people at the top of their profession to perform, and your only revenue stream is charging people who set up vendor tents and sell funnel cakes. Maybe sell some souvenir shwag yourself as icing on the cake. I'm at a net loss after promoting 20 or 30 shows, and I get to actually charge admission! The red ink last year came from not attracting any big sponsors. This year, maybe they'll be able to cut a deal.
