Actually, Atkins was scheduled for last year. He just didn't show up on time because of a flight delay. He was there and was introduced to the crowd, but he didn't spin.
Of course, he isn't exactly known for showing up on time... But Carl Craig said, somewhere, that Atkins would probably be there next year. For all those that will be in Detroit a day or two early: Alan Oldham will be at Recordtime in Ferndale on the 25th of May. The point isn't that those of us in Detroit don't want an international lineup. The point is that we've grown up with certain people that we automatically connect to Detroit techno, and it seems natural that they wouldn't be excluded from the DEMF. Who wouldn't love to see T-1000 spinning Thesis as his second track in Hart Plaza with the RenCen in the background?
