The cool kids over at dichotome hosted a guest spot by yours truly – a condensed DEMF write up complete with pretty pictures, links and mixes. I bow down to their Google skills. I highly recommend adding their music blog to your blogroll. They’re sassy, silly and have excellent taste in music.

DEMF Day 4 – Departure
Posted in Events, tagged Add new tag, DEMF on May 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
With the rising sun Monday morning, it was time to head back home, to work and a city with no love for techno. At 8:00, we packed the car in silence and drove out of the parking lot without looking back. We were mentally prepared for this long drive, unlike our previous departure in the [...]
DEMF Day 2 – Sunday

Arriving around opening time is great for the first day of any festival, but by now we knew the best route downtown and the stages by heart. Sunday we slept in and decided to eat a real meal – something we hadn’t done since dinner Friday night. We needed the energy. Sunday had the most [...]

Our hotel just outside Detroit came at the recommendation of a seasoned DEMF veteran, who promised the “best sleep of your life.” Considering the conditions festival attendees sleep under, I brushed off his remark as the result of sleep deprivation. Then I woke up Saturday morning trying to figure out how to bring the bed [...]
DEMF – Arrival
Posted in Events, tagged DEMF on May 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This past weekend I made the 14 hour journey Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival. It was my first multi-day music festival and nothing could have prepared me for what waited in Hart Plaza. I’m still flying high off the adrenaline, my soul drunk off the pulsating beats. Before I gush about the epic DJs, let me [...]

Rather than mourning your absence at DEMF, I highly recommend jump starting the weekend tonight and spending the next four days appreciating Boston. I’ve done all the research for you. All you have to do is show up and do your thing.
THURSDAY:
Slick Rick w/ Eclectic Collective @ Harper’s Ferry — Need I say more.
FRIDAY

Stuck in Boston this summer, drooling over electronic festivals (DEMF, Mutek, Sonar) from afar? No need to fear. NYC is hosting Minitek in September, featuring Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Magda, Pan-Pot and of course much more. Mark your calendars for September 12-14 and start a stash. Three days of techno on the east coast – [...]

If hip-hop arrived in an LED discoteque rave ship from the future, it would sound like N.E.R.D. I absolutely cannot wait for their new album to drop in June. You know it will be the official summer 2008 party music. In the meantime, check out the video for Everyone Nose, featuring a brief appearance from [...]

The Resident Advisor podcast is one of my favorites. It’s an hour of guaranteed quality new-to-me electronic music every week. I was walking to the T the other day and popped episode RA.099 The Count & Sinden onto my iPod. Seconds later and I’m restraining myself from dancing. This mix hooks you from the start [...]
