I also attempted to book rolando for our event here in pittsburgh, pa. "i love techno" on november 4th with dan bell, shake, shawn rudiman live, and myself. I however didn't get any impression that he was to good to play here, he was just booked. This is a buisness and everyone is not available when you want them. I have dealt with UR/Submerge in the past and i have nothing but good things to say about them. But that's not my issue. My issue is that if your associates are truly concerned with spreading the sound of detroit as you say you are; do they realize that there are other djs from detroit. Rolando is one of my favorites but he's not the only one. If your associates are truly concerned with pushing the music they would look at more than one source. Did they coniser saunderson? d-wynn, shake?, theo parrish? dan bell? or any of the other names out of detroit. Or are they also just trying to cash in on the fame of knights of the jaguar? If that's the case fine, but don't sit here
and ask if Rolando is too good to play here. Just becuase he wasn't available to play their event. It just sounds like your friends have a case of sour grapes. hell i'm a dj i'm playing at our "i love techno" event. And i have headlined various other nights around this city, playing nothing but detroit techno. i even played at the 7th city after party during this years demf. I offer my services for free if your friends are truly concerned with getting this music heard. Now don't think of this message is a knock against you are your asscoiates. I'm just trying point out that there are alternatives. One of the great things about this music that there isn't just on voice, there are many and they all deserved to be heard. (well the good ones at least;) peace, Jwan Allen Technoir Records www.technoiraudio.com (coming soon) _________________________________________________ What are you into?
