DEMF2007

Forget the Iliad. Forget 300. This was epic in a Mother of all conventions kind of feeling. It was a superheroes convention, as Professor Genius said. You know that episode where the Fantastic 4 hang out with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman? That. We renamed out hotel "techno hotel", since we kept on bumping into our "superheroes" lounging around. But it's not even that. We are not easily impressed by flesh and bone, we carry no "starhunter" DNA. We hunt for soul-nourishment, we hunt the music. And that made our trip worthwhile. The music. Model500 (with UR's Mike Banks on keyboards). Jeff Mills (with 3 tunrtables, 3 cd palyers and a 909). 3 Chairs. Monolake. Moodyman at the Rollerskating Rink. Detroit Electronic Music Festival 2007. And the Greektown minibaklavas!

Forget 300. The number is 3000, of course. And 500 - Juan Atkins came out to play. He's a warrior.
