Good article on the superstar-dj cultus during the 90's/early years 2000 in the UK. Not on 313 techno-tip but still a nice and interesting read (well, that's what I found:-) http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/when-djs- ruled-the-world-1643535.html Martijn

Hey List, I'm looking at a Juno 60 and a Juno 106 right now. Opinions between the two are welcome--but mainly I'm interested in: 1. what is a reasonable price to have a broken key replaced on a juno? 2. what is a reasonable price to have the pots tuned up/oiled etc.? 3. what does a roland md-8

The ISDN future of FSOL is here and now, except its more of a DSL/cable world. Every genre goes through periods of reinvention. Detroit music is going through the growing pains of the digital world. The days of digging crates for vinyl with nsc etchings are passed. On Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:51:24

Gosh Michael, tell us how you really feel! I kind of liked the mix from the standpoint that it was different than I usually hear, the difference being accessibility. But I can certainly see this not being to everyone's taste. That Deadmau5 + Kaskade I Remember track is my new guilty pleasure.

WBMX ERA is what I think of when I think of chicago, and that was 20 years ago :) Chicago is a wonderful place but the sound has always been more pop than the Detroit sound, I speculate that it is because there is more money to be made off of the club scene in Chicago than Detroit. On Mon, 16

Yeah, to be brutally honest and/or play devil's advocate, I'm somewhat in agreement with Michael. I don't utterly dislike it, mind you. Just saying once there was money involved, it got really homogenized. This is true of the live scene too. I'm in no way blaming or faulting Mani, he's delivering
