Actually, and technically, I don't think it is "DEMF" afaik Carol Marvin owns "DEMF"
what Paxahau is doing is "Movement" I've come to the conclusion that, although they both have taken place in the same place and the same annual dates, the festivals are two different things with two almost entirely different spirits Paxahau's "Movement" festival isn't "DEMF", although it does use the tag line - "Detroit's Electronic Music Festival" It's not THE Detroit Electronic Music Festival The Detroit Electronic Music Festival doesn't exist anymore and more than likely will never again I'm glad I got to experience it - it was during a time when they could get away with bringing in THAT much talent, legendary artists that I REALLY respect without asking for any money from any of the fans Celebrating Detroit, Detroit music, Detroit electronic music, and 1st through 3rd (and 4th) waves of Detroit influence splitting hairs maybe but I've pretty much come to realize that Paxahau probably don't feel any obligation or need to keep the festival in line with the original spirit of the original DEMF Therefore, Paxahau isn't soiling the legacy of the DEMF because they aren't doing THE Detroit Electronic Music Festival I'm happy that I can say "I was there when..." It might never happen again but how often do those times get repeated anyway? well, those are my coping skills explained anyway ;-) MEK "Arturo Lopez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 03/26/2008 01:05:41 PM: > This isn't > trance-cracker raver fest, it's DEMF.
