OK... I'm sorry, but I practically choked on my morning coffee when I
read this... Frank, I had such higher opinions of you than this!!
You think the overall number of performers increased? They've
consistently had 4 stages sometimes 5 throughout the years, same hours
too.. simple math would tell you thats not humanly possible... that's
Ok that you might've miscalculated that, forgivable... but here's
where I choked on my coffee... you think there's a finite number of
DJs and producers in Detroit?!! WHAT??!! Do some research, go back to
school, learn about not just the history of where it began, but also
where it has evolved to, because your comment is dead wrong. This
city has more amazing DJs, Producers, and live musicians laying beats
on techno tracks than I could ever book if I was producing a 5 day
festival with 4 stages, making every stage Detroit only.
Agreed - there is no shortage of Detroit artists available. Barring that,
there is certainly no shortage of artists directly linked to Detroit and
the surrounding areas (artists on Planet E, from Windsor, Ann Arbor, etc)
