It's not a problem that I can't fix, coz' I can do it… IN DA MIX
ISSUE∫#12

As promised as done, with this issue 12 of IDM coming with a few lines about
what is now to stand as the major american event in terms of electronic
music.

Well, you've guessed it : The Detroit Electronic Music Festival now better
known under The Movement name…Ya'all know how I love NY, but
Detroit to me is anotha thang !

Not onlybecause I've found there people who've welcomed me as one of theirs (i.e.
"uncle" Sundiata OM, Norman Talley, Mike 'Agent X' Clark, Malik Alston, Kevin
Saunderson, Alton Miller, Scott Grooves and cohorts), but also because of its unique
spirit. What I would describe as a genuine DIY soul, should it be talkin'
about the groove with people like Dwele, Slum Village or Amp Fiddler, but also in
this more progressive form that gave birth to techno, around the ones I
would call its magnificient seven : Jeff Mills, Mike Banks, Moodymann. Carl Craig,
Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. And it's no surprising to
notice that the three latest were to recapture the lead (and the original spirit)
of the event this year back from the people who've sacked its originator (Carl
Craig) two years ago.

Before goin' any further, me, as a european observer, would like to notice
how surprised I've ever felt so far in seing the main US local scenes (NY,
Detroit, Chicago), its heroes and fans appearently quite separated from each
other so far ; this being quite noticable in Miami during the Winter Music
Conference. Well, it looks like Srs May, Atkins and Saunderson have taken
notice of that same thing, inviting not only their chicagoan neighbors (Glenn
Underground, Boo Williams, Ron Trent et al), but also NYC heavyweight actors including
Todd Terry, François K, Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit, not mentionning the
contributions of Larry Heard (out of Memphis) or Atlanta's shining
Kemeticjust. This contributing to give a better view of a US scene that desperately stays in
the shadow compared to its hip hop/R&B and country/rock alter egos. Well, I
guess this is nothing but a true illustration of what I would call The
Politics of Dancing, in a country where segregation seems like always finding a
tomorrow. And needless to say that major companies's execs would have been once more
well inspired to come, considering the growing volume of an attendance that
has reached another peak this year.

Also needless to say that it merely was impossible to witness everything
properly as a lot of things happened at the same time during this Memorial
Day WE, being at daytime as during nighttime with the many afterparties that were
held at the four corners of the city. Although there was a space for almost
everything… So, to name but a few, what is to remembered ? In terms of DJ
sets, I would say Jeff Mills (sparkling), Juan Atkins (versatile), Norman Talley
(festive), Ron Trent (mental as probably never so far) and Rolando
(electrifying), while PA's wise, Amp Fiddler has prooved that he's definitely a(nother) name
to watch on the soul vein. Not mentioning Peven Everett, or Rich Medina (behind
the decks), altogether on the High Tech Soul stage. Well, all & all, a
shining serie of various colorful postcards…

Wouldn't say the same thing though about the Movement Mechanics at the
Detroit Contemporary where I was booked on Sunday, as it turned on a real
nightmare. Not only in terms of line up with some more than agressive hardcore drum &
bass shit at the beginning of the nite, but also facing sudden police raid
that occured to close the venue, claiming its illegality, just before my set. Not
to sure if we can call this the ransom of the glory, but at the end, nothing
compared to the sense of brotherhood that has been shown to me here once
more. Detroit, I luv'ya !
Peace, MFSB
