i'm very happy to see the electrifying mojo gets his own entry!

**schlager** · 29-09-2005, 06:02 PM

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

sorry

**SlavikSvensk** · 29-09-2005, 06:55 PM

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.

;

mojo's reach and influence may only have been matched by that of the late Mr. Peel.

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.

**SlavikSvensk** · 29-09-2005, 09:06 PM

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...

g · 29-09-2005, 10:07 PM

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:

this was pre-movement, but maybe it's been a slow process...he seemed bored and just going through the motions...

...link to ilt?

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:

I just wanted to point out that there is a lot happening in techno that does not get mentioned in such articles - all you get is the hagiography everybody is more than familiar with. not my idea of an encylopaedia article, that's all ...

**crime** · 06-10-2005, 11:37 AM

well, add to it then, that's the point of wikipedia.....
