Tom, would you post this since 313 isn't posting for me right now. Thanks. The songs I picked up from Timeline were Amazon and the Transition/Inspiration thing. They also did a housy thing that sounded like an old Soul City track. The experience made me aware that I need to become more familiar with the UR cannon. The soul/gospel jam at the end really really cooked-- this was the greatest single moment of the weekend for me. Mad Mike's skills would have fit right in at any gospel church in the city. As for the venue, I totally loved it--it was about 4 blocks from my house. The space is owned by an affordable housing developer (CCNDC) and they rent it to Detroit Summer (for whom the show was a benefit to raise the roof, literally). Detroit Summer does community projects like urban gardening, bicycle repair, and many other cool things. The building is also rented to Idle Kids who are an anarchist youth collective. So, basically, the place has so much good karma it's ridiculous. Got to see one of the UR Z records up close and personal when Suburban Knight dropped it at the UR party--clear blue-green vinyl w/ giant Z on it and a small black UR logo in the middle. Dope wax. Kenny Larkin dropped what I'm guessing was his new material at the end of his set on Monday--right after Shades of Jae. Can anyone confirm this? Hopefully a recording of this event is forthercoming. ;-) On Saturday night at Centre Street Theo dropped some song with a simple vocal about flowers--"he brought her flowers" or something like that--which was so beautiful and completely dope at the same time. Of course there was tons of good stuff in his set--that one just stands out. If anyone knows the track I'd greatly appreciate an ID. Kai Alce was amazing. Saw him at City Club on Sunday and again at the festival on Monday. He spun some very tasteful vocal and instrumental house and just murdered the dance floor. I think Danny Krivit played strictly off CDR at the City Club. There were some good and some not so good remixes of Shelter and King Street tunes in there. One that stands out was a remix of Big Moses, that's how much I love you. I must have heard Groove a la Chord at least 5 times on Monday--Kenny Larkin, Rolando, Buzz Goree, Rolando again.... I'm not complaining. ;-) Saw DJ Nobu from Japan on Friday at Centre Street and he just rocked it. Some killer beatdown style house. Really nice guy too.
