i do enjoy living in fantasy land. i get tired of living in the machine known as modern society, where individuality and artistic expression is hard to find, so yes i do enjoy burning man. i know that you have never been there, because you would not be making a snide jab like that had you ever been. you can go ahead and lie and say you've been there though ...

the type of self-righteous "dj" who has to hype his own sets ("how y'all feelin?!"
"whooo check da bass on this one!") fcking blow, especially when their sets sound like playskool my first rave.
that's a horrible blanket statement that any and all djs that have ever got on the mic like that "fking blow". its just your biased opinion because of the micro sub genre you are engrossed in. theres nothing wrong with enthusiasm and getting on the mic, its just a different type of dj'ing. minimal land has too many rules that frown on this sort of thing, the rules limit creativity and as much as people like to think they are open minded and creative, they dont realize how opposite of that they have become because of simply being focused in a genre.
i checked your feb promo, i can see why you have the opinion you do (its not exactly high energy get out of your seat and dance type of set), but i am not for example going to call some rock singer or rapper a chode because they use a mic because that aint my scene, i cant criticize something thats so far and different from my mentality. all i can do is appreciate other people's strategies, their mentalities, their vision for how to connect with people through music. i cant criticize someone as being trendy for playing deep spacey dubby minimal tech house, all i can do is find a deep spacey dubby minimal tech house set that's actualy good and moves me.

no, not everything at demf has to be that droning, minimal that we all love. hell, throw some quality hip hop, some rock music and call it a day.
that's going a bit too far dont you think? rock and hip hop? thats too far from a detroit electronic music festival ...

and the same queef that was slamming dubstep 2 years ago is now all hype about it.
where did you see him say that? i dont really care what a dj says in press, i just listen to what they play personally, but you made me curious.

and then there is hype for fcking bassnectar?
he's a chode
theres not meant to be any hype, the point was made that even though its not minimal techie type music, its still quality in its own realm of the dance universe, but where do you draw the line for types of acts for DEMF.
