1) Why is it that it would take such a huge festival (DEMF) for people to
come out and give respect to the music and innovators (Detroit DJs and
Producers)?
Ill take a stab at this ?. If I remember correctly the event that Jeff
played earlier this (last) year was at St.Andrews-a venue that sucks
In regards with Mills, I think it was just the timing of it, being scheduled on
Thanksgiving. I think the support hasn't been there because it isn't
mainstream. How would you go about finding out about these artists unless
someone introduced you to that genre? I think it's a daunting task for ne

Whoa. Poetry reading? Who had that? Over a DJ set??
Please tell!
I'm not exactly sure what the gentleman's name is (so I won't make a halfways
attempt), but he read a couple of his poems with conga accompaniment (not sure
about the musician's name either, but the conga guy was on various stages with
people like Stacey Hale and Derrick May) on Monday. He also

About three-quarters of the way through May's set, Umar Bin Hassan from the
Last Poets came on and did a spoken-word reading (no accompaniment from the
decks). It was well-done, but it confused quite a few people --
unfortunately, he sounded *

Does anyone know who was MCing during Eddie Fowlkes set?
he he...that was the infamous Malique (sp?). UmmmI'm not sure exactly
what it is he DOES (i.e. if he's a musician,singer,etc.) he's just one of
those people that's always been around.
He was also out the day earlier with the same reading plus another from The Last
Poets. Trying to recall, but I think it was while we were waiting for Juan to
show up (after we were told he was on his way in the limo from Metro :-).
Yeah, it was hard to hear Omar Bin Hassan over the teenyboppers around
me screaming "Richie! Richie!" during his oration during Derrick's set.
I was down the steps close to the floor at that point and the crowd
around me had little apparent interest in one guy up there playing records

Umar Bin Hassan also read the same poem the previous day during
Moodyman's...
And the precussionist was Sundiata. Wild man!

hey,
Ive got to second this. I am glad that I was not the only one who found
it offensive that Derrick and Omar got a lukewarm reaction for DJ'ing,
and an utterly confused look for the poetry(which basically nailed
everything that is wrong with American society in 5 minutes) while Rich

So which was it?? Good or disappointing??
So-called pioneer?? How can anyone call Derrick May a so-called pioneer?
Maybe you should consult 'Techno Rebels.'

I'm certain that Derrick May didn't became didn't become to be known because of
his DJ skills. The lines between musical artist and DJ once again become

when i look back and think of a set... i think of how it made me feel, as
opposed to what exact track they played... and that is what i think matters...

This mixer had midi implementation with a special type of eq i think it
was called frequency isolators or something like that.
