for future reference Dave... Fridays at Subtonic [The Bunker ...
http://www.klever.org/thebunkernyc ] still seems to be the best fun in
town. It might not always be Detroit-ish, but it usually is pretty
interesting, to say the least. Especially when Plaslaiko is on for the
3rd time in the night. Upcoming.. Matthew Dear + Rob Hall
I'd love to recommend Deep Space on Mondays at Cielo w/ Francois K, but
it's not totally consistent. I've had a blast when Rhythm & Sound and
Derrick May were guests, but other times were letdowns..
Rhythmism.com + fusicology.com usually have most of the Detroit-based
events listed on it, fyi.

LOL! I don't think you'd enjoy it if you saw him at Fabric here, either
Dave! ;-).
I'd personally like to see him play again in a lounge (like in the bar
at the End one time) where he played a seamless set of funk and soul and
it worked...

Subject: (313) Stacey Pullen last night in NYC
So some friends were in town and wanted to go out and were excited to
hear that Stacey was in town for a night at the Sullivan Room. The five
of us got there early and luckily avoided the $15 admission (saved $75)
The Sullivan Room is closing for a bit to do some renovations, I think a
new sound system is on order. So this was billed as a pre-renovation
blowout bash. There were even 2-1 drinks till midnight...sounds pretty
good right?
The unfortunate thing about it was everyone who spun sucked. It could be
I'm suffering the let down from expecting too much. The opening dj's;
Function (Infrastructure), Victor Ridi & Fong (Minitek), Sleepy & Boo
(Basic NYC) played not one interesting track. The sets sounded like a
mix of minimal tracks from the sale bin and a few old Transmat and Rob
Hood numbers thrown in because Stacey was there. I was ready to leave
more than an hour before Stacey started. But I decided to stick with it
and have another drink. (more alchol seemed to help)
'Do NOT miss this rare NYC visit from the techno innovator on this very
special night.' Said the flyer. As soon as Stacey took to the decks, I
thought finally, amateur hour is over. Stacey started with a vocal
sample of a guy talking about soul. Good sign eh? Well that was the last
bit of soul I heard in the half hour before I gave up. Maybe it was that
Stacey forget to restock his record bag with something new and ditch the
pounding NYC house tracks circa 2000. Reguardless the New York
University frat kids who showed up seemed to like it. Hope that gives
you an indication of where the bar was set.
I would have been mad if I'd parted with the $15 to get in, instead it
was rather sad that there is still such a shortage of challenging and
INNOVATIVE music in NYC.
