Thomas Barnette was the aleged culprit. I don't know if this was ever confirmed. I like Tom but I don't like what he spins.

I recently had the same question. Three modules were up for consideration. - The new Korg ESI Electribe Rhythm Production Sampler Never played with it but I don't think it has ROM sounds. http://www.korg.com/gear/ - The Roland SP808. Pricey, but it does it all. The D-Beam controller is dope.

Last night I popped in one of my favorite trance CD (I know) Psychcotrance I. When it was released it was considered trance at the time. Now, I think it would be considered more tech-house. It certainly doesn't have that cheesy sawtooth synth sound playing nursery school chord progressions. In

Hands down best ever alternative radio show ever. The DJ's are very professional and incredibly informative. They play an excellent variety of guitar and tech music and everything in between. They have been flowing with the times focusing more on electronic stuff lately which those reading this

Why don't one of you invent a vinyl flattener. I used to heat them up and lay the vinyl between to rigid flat surfaces and let the cool down for a while. Not good for soud quality but it better than not playing those tacos a tall. Miles

DEMF After Hours

Perhaps some of you out of towners may want to experience some of Detroit after hours. Do any of the Europeans in particular wish to go to some of the more rootsy, less hyped, multicultrual gigs as apposed to the 'mee toos' ravey type places or am I off base here. Miles
