I agree that it would be totally illogical to have Beyer as a resident. Guess I'm just bitter about all the house and prog house that Motor has booked for the next month or two. I bleed techno...
But I'm still going to support Beyer whether he's from Europe or Antartica. A good DJ is a good DJ. I love most of the Detroit DJs probably about as much as the rest of you, but Beyer takes techno to a level few people can handle. You really can't compare him to your generic Euro DJ. I'm sure that hard techno isn't for everyone. The way I see it, some techno you feel emotionally. Other techno you feel physically. And like I said, not since Hawtin have I danced to a DJ that has sent me home sore and truly exhausted. Maybe I'm just a sick person with a little more energy and drive than most. But I sure wasn't the only one loving the music on Friday. What got me most excited was seeing so many other people let loose and truly get down. It's cool to kick back with a drink and nod your head to some laid back music. But nowadays, it seems that way to many people come to Motor just to kick back, nod their head and check out the fly ladies. Beyer was refreshing in the fact that, first of all, he scared away the posers and, secondly, made people go insane. I have respect for DJs from Detroit, but I'm not going to be prejudice against Beyer just because he's from Europe. I'm sure there are quite a few people on this list from Europe. Should I dis them? Besides, in my eyes, Beyer's just continuing the foundation laid by Detroit-area artists such as Richie Hawtin and Dan Bell. Melody and funk are discarded for sheer aggression and rhythm. I have no problem with that. In fact, I'd like to see a little more of it around these parts. All I hear is house whenever I go out. In sum, so many techno DJs put me to sleep. I prefer music that I can feel emotionally. Unfortunately, few DJs can truly evoke sentiment well, in my opinion. So if I can't feel it in my heart, I'd just as well feel it in my body. You just can't dis Beyer for being from Europe. You should support DJs for their music not for political reasons. -----Original Message----- From: underground fighters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 08, 2000 5:34 AM To: trak head Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) adam beyer in detroit good that Adam Beyer plays out of Europe ;-)) because we don't need so a motherfucking psycho hard DJ.
