Hey There,
Long time lurker, but I thought I'd go ahead and post my recap of the
festival. It's not so much of a review, but a line by line capture of all
the things I did during the weekend with a few highlights captured below.
BTW, I've met quite a few of you over the years off this list. See below
for recap:)

I find it interesting that the festival experience is at the point where
two people can go and apparently not see any of the same acts! I tend to
avoid the bigger stuff now, and more or less stick to smaller parties and
events put on by friends, and at the festival (Sunday/Monday evening)
basically found little reason to leave the Made in Detroit stage, where the
sound was great and the crowd was really good. To be honest, I don't find
much need to spend a huge amount of time at the fest or see every act,
especially because spending quality time with friends is just as important
as
What was definitely confirmed for me this year, was that the younger
generation: Andres, Norm Talley, Delano Smith, and Mike Huckaby, are
definitely at the top of their game right now, all of them are really doing
it for me!
[Best Set]
Norm Talley at Prelude
[Highlights]
Delano Smith @ Prelude, and Made in Detroit Stage
Andres @ Made in Detroit Stage
Mike Huckaby @ Made in Detroit Stage
Alton Miller @ Motor City Wine
San Soda @ Motor City Wine
Kevin Saunderson b2b w/ Seth Troxler @ Made in Detroit Stage
ALSO: Heard Scott Grooves played great at the Soul Clap party. In my
opinion he is BY FAR the most under rated of Detroit producers, and it's my
personal mission this year to help ensure he gets some of the recognition
he deserves.

Had a pretty good time overall, though I mostly stuck to the familiar
(and didn't hear all that much of interest walking around). My motto
for the festival: Wherever you are, you're at the right place!

St Andrew's
speaking of No Way Back,a couple of those in previous years were
at the Bohemian National Home. Joel Peterson, who managed shows
there until 2008, and Rebecca Mazzei of MOCAD are now running
Trinosophes, a new cafe that opened a year ago at 1464 Gratiot (same
block as Transmat) which hosted a small party with UR DJs on Saturday. An
interesting new community space with eclectic music/etc performances
and this wonderful gizmo:
