I started packing tonight for Detroit, with a little help from Robert Hood. This set is the perfect techno weekend warm up, moving from hard to funky to tribal and back to HARD TECHNO. Can’t wait to see the man spin live (Sunday at 10 PM – competing with Derrick Carter, Ricardo Villalobos and Derrick [...]

As a warm up for my return to Movement in less than a few weeks, I have been re-listening to my favorite sets from 2008 – my first and most recent trip to Detroit. If you want to read more, check the DEMF blog tag for my electronic music fame-whoring (this is pre-techno, pre- as in [...]

DEMF 2008 was without a doubt, one of the music highlights of my life. Only a city such as Detroit can host an inexpensive, diverse festival where it really is about the music. There’s a certain sound to the motor city you don’t find anywhere else. You may have heard Kevin Saunderson spin in Berlin [...]

Follow-up to 2006′s Sexor, Ciao! is due out in the U.S. May 26th, featuring work with fellow hipsters Soulwax and James Murphy. 2. Preparing for spinning sandwiched between Ellen Allien and Bad Boy [...]

DEMF – Departure

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 [...]

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 [...]
