I like. Especially like the spitty high res synth line. Reminds me a bit of Jimmy Edgar, but the vocal samples are kind of Kanye-esque, without of course the irritating-Kanye aspect. Frank's remix is pretty sweet as well. I think a lot of people have slept on his stuff -- he's not a huge self-p

As someone who has embraced Ableton Live as a DJ tool I have two observations: 1) Removing beat matching from the equation means you don't make beat-matching mistakes. Plenty of other surprises and mistakes are possible. 2) a preprogrammed set doesn't interact with the audience. To the extent I su

I don't think we need to discuss me on the 313 list -- I'm not from Detroit, and you hear enough about me without propogating it. I'm interested in feedback of any sort, though none of these tracks are subject to further revision or improvement. On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 9:04 AM, Odeluga, Ken wrote

Detroit can be a really harsh place. If you visit -- and you don't get lost in the wrong neighborhood after dark -- it can seem like a really friendly, chill place. But ask anyone who actually grew up in the City how many people they know who got shot, how many people they know went to prison, etc

I don't want to write a thumbsucker about the 313 list, but one thing that seems to be lacking these days on the list is real information about new music actually originating from Detroit or Detroit native expats elsewhere. So if you're doing something, speak up! If you just bought a killer Detro

I like this release a lot, especially "I will let you down" -- pitch-shifted vocals, shuffly beats, moody synths. I also approve of the price -- free! I spent way too long wading through "techno" new releases at JunoDownload yesterday, and heard nothing this good. On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 9:47 AM

I'm of the philosophy that you should never go to a gig without everything you need to plug directly into any sound system you might encounter. In my case that means I have a pair of 1/4" to XLR Male cables, so I can plug directly into the stage plug box, plus a stereo RCA cable and RCA->1/4" adap
