I'm new here so I'll say HI for the first time!! The weather has been overcast most of the weekend but people are still going out to see the DJ's perform. I made it Saturday night to see Kevin Saunderson and Kenny Larkin and aside from a few technical difficulties with the power it was fabulous. Unfortunately did not see the last of the set as was with person who wanted to leave. (Why didn't I go alone?) Also caught Liquid Liquid and ESG, took me back to highschool in a good way.
Last night I attended the "Official Movement Afterparty" at the Tangent Gallery. Was first time there, good space. The artists were Vikter Duplaix, Francois K and the one and only Derrick May. This was my first time hearing Duplaix and he was alright. Francois K had a 2 1/2 or 3 hr set and I enjoyed him but I was very itchy to hear May. Finally around 5:15 am, Detroit time, Derrick May started and just tore it up. He was brilliant, transcendant and a bunch of other words that my beat awash brain cannot articulate right now. I had to leave before the end of his set, because once again I came with someone who wanted to leave. (When will I learn to go by myself) When I emerged from the gallery May was still in there drivin em crazy and makin em sweat and the sun had emerged over the City that made helped birth "House". I know this was long post but I'm still high and eubullient from the beats. :) P.S. looking forward to getting to know folks here. I've been lurking and reading for a few weeks before I posted. So many of you have wide technical knowledge of House/Techno music. Pretty amazing. Any one here in Detroit make sure to not miss Jeff Mills tonight, I'll be there with my comfy shoes on :)
