interesting bits in there
i'm very happy to see the electrifying mojo gets his own entry!
don't you find all that detroit-revering stuff a little bit boring? I know quite a few people that would be prepared to travel the proverbial 1000 miles and they would probably walk 500 more only to hear derrick may play some cheesy house records - just to tick derrick off in their little black notebooks, "only juan and kevin to go". Don't get me wrong, I like may's production, I love it actually, but there's so much good new stuff around - how come it does not get mentioned in this encyclopaedia entries?

ooops, ive f+++ up :oops: sorry
this is really an entry on detroit techno, to be fair, not techno as a whole, and written by someone who just wanted to summarize "techno rebels." i just like the fact that mojo got his own entry. pretty good for a radio dj, eh?
...as to your other point, i used to live in the detroit area, so i both revere the classics and get annoyed at the detroit-or-nothing attitude of a lot of people...but you don't get TOO much of that on BOA...
yeah.Quote:

and i'm from the D too, blah blah blah. all that is a part of my DNA but my tastes also go far beyond it. part of the reason i love BOA actually.
that shiz about derrick djing badly is funny.
i saw him about 6 months ago in seattle and it was pretty obvious that he was disinterested. still not BAD, but not like he can do when he's into it...
he's never interested in the US it seems. emperor's clothes.
however i think his spirit has been beaten to a pulp since Movement. the interview on the ILT site is sad.
boring??? not at all.. detroit techno is a big part of this forum. i have massive respect for these guys as do most of our members. were it not for them i certainly wouldn't be here neither would all of you. sure there's great new stuff around.. that's your own opinion about detorit - respect - but boring? no way on this planet :lol:Quote:

ah ok...don't know why i didn't figure that out myself...duh... :oops:
you should read more carefully, mark ... I suggest you re-read the excerpts from your quote, maybe then you will realize you were just demolishing another strawman. I was talking about the encyclopaedia entry, not about detroit techno in general. On the other hand, I know now where this detroit-revering stuff is coming from - are you sure you did not write the wiki article :lol:Quote:

well, add to it then, that's the point of wikipedia.....
where? couldnt see it...still there ?Quote:

I hope you get the point :roll:
