As it will be my first time in the States (let alone Detroit or the fest), any and all local info will definitely be appreciated. Looking forward to your DEMF coverage.

While it will be a never ending scrap about technology this/technology that, and as someone who much prefers the analogue sound, i still find it interesting that a certain focus is placed on this insistence that it isn't about the technology. this is correct, but it doesn't mean one should hate on every new piece of technology someone opts to use to get different sounds from. it may not be to the preference of some, but plenty use this new technology without making a big deal about it being "new", its just what they use. Focusing on the fact that such and such only uses old hardware is hypocritical to a point, as it should never EVER be about what is being used. People complain about the Hawtins of the world swooning over new technology, well it's not much different to the people who gotta make a point about the hard-ons an 808 kick gives 'em.
