Well - that's an interesting bit of prose
but I think this is a point of interest
"Thinking they can run such festival without budget, I can better
understand now, why the majority on these same guys cannot run properly an
independent label, a simple macro structure......."
So what you're saying is Planet E, Transmat, and KMS aren't properly run?
Hmmm, and what label are you camparing these to?
I'm glad that Carl Craig is back since he is the one who had the original
vision of this event and it was HI -JACKED by people he must have
originally trusted.

No thanks, won't make it this year, but who cares......
Living on their past,the relics of past, these triumvirates filling with
haughtiness; hauteur; assumption; lordliness; presumption; disdain;
insolence; conceitedness.
making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which
consists in exorbitant claims of rank, power, which exalts the worth or
importance of themselves to an undue degree; proud contempt of others;
lordliness; haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption.
Thinking they can run such festival without budget, I can better understand
now, why the majority on these same guys cannot run properly an independent
label, a simple macro structure.......
Betting for the sponsors: Clear channel ?
Line up : Sacha, Digweed ?
Blame me, flame me... my answer will be Oh well.....
Sure depends on festival goals, what's the goal here?
Detroit exposure artists ?( the only goal that can be held) or just an
international so called electronic festival ?
Was glad to see last year the committee brought people like Dwayne
Jensen,Greg Collier (bro of Ken Collier, imagine...) Melvin Hill, gave them
exposure, replacing things in their true context, simply THE history...gave
a chance to this wonderful girl Korie and so much.
Above all the resentment, and for good reason, as they had been trapped in
a
real well organized ambush by these same arrogant guys, the committee last
year dedicated their actions to Detroit artists , comitted to their peepz,
I
do respect and support that (and I put in the word artist, the Dj who do
not
produce but are a part of the real, true history).
Is not because artists haven't traveled all around the world that one may
shit on them, it's because they were the first to suffer that today one can
travel all around the world.
This city has too much hidden artists, recognition is mandatory.
If am I bitter? No, but Yes, I'm arrogant as well, I piss off, too much
playa hatters, clique.
At that stage they must put together a task force, instead of thinking they
are better than others.
