Not for nothing, but the line-up so far for this year's DEMF seems a bit lite for my tastes. As BMG states in the Metrotimes, and I'm taking this out of context: "...of course, there are notable omissions: Rob Hood, UR, Blake Baxter, many notable new local techno labels, and more Chicago heroes such as Larry Heard and Lil Louis."
Word. What's going on? Not that I'm a Detroit purist, but if you're having a Detroit festival, where are the Detroit heads? I don' t want to incite controversy or place blame on anyone, but I feel like maybe alot of the Detroit artists might have gotten turned off by the commercial and/or overexposed nature of this event? And not that I'm into such commercialism, but if this event is sponsored by Ford Focus, where is Juan when their whole campaign is based around his track? Perhaps it is a little early to come to too many conclusions... I don't know? Can anyone help shed some light on this for me, because I'm not aware of all the politics that goes on in Detroit and with this festival?
