dance music - FK is amongst that few. Remember his perceptions are partly
honed by near-30 years of experience. The fact that he's prepared to throw
in his lot with techno, to me is highly significant, and speaks well about
the state of the music (at least on a spiritual level).
Francois K is definitely a master.
I recall when he played in Detroit a few years ago (at Clutch Cargos), he
played rather harder than I expected. I don't remember much about track
selection though. Anyone? It was pretty empty - an embarrassingly empty
dance floor with everyone downstairs listening to Kooky Scientist if my
memory is right.

Frankly, I was shocked @ the turn out for FK. I'd prefer to NOT be able to
say that Daniel Bell I outdrew someone of FK's stature for a fraction of
his fee. Francois was a professional and gentleman throughout, even if he
was playing to only 2 people on the floor at the end of the night. We ended
up having breakfast @ the hotel instead of going right to sleep. He bitched
about the state of UK trance DJ's taking over the universe. I was in total
agreement. He even helped carry my equipment when we left for the airport.
Of course, he doesn't even remember who I am now..
telepathic regards,
The Kooky Scientist
