Who's the guy with the mic? (excuse my ignorance)

i would like to know too!

andy k to thread?

Detroit Techno Militia shared it on Facebook from somebody else's page. Don't recognise the guy with the mic but love the Police shirt and love the whole vibe of the picture

couple of other shots here

there's a thread somewhere on not-west-london broken beat (CiM, the better stuff on delsin, etc) but that's not really like derrick may, it's just coming from a milleu where early-90s uk techno (likemind label, applied rhythmic technology, etc) is ground zero.

I love this stuff.

There's another thread where someone asks for stuff that sounds like "object orient" and "bugz in the bassbin (street mix)"

:-D

*hi fives*

Yeah! *hi fives back*

I recently rediscovered Time Tourist by b12 and my goodness, it's like those songs had been fermenting in my brain for 15 years.. Wonderful album.

The Late Great, have you heard Stephen Tang's album from last year (called disconnect to reconnect or something, on smallville, I think)? It's total early b12-ish Detroit worship

The gentleman in the Police shirt is Dale Willis.

cool!

i haven't heard the stephen tang album but "time tourist" is one of my all-time favorite warp albums, will check out stephen tang for sure

andy do you know any cool dale willis stories

No but Willis is mentioned (as one of Mills' mentors?) in the late great Dan Sicko's Techno Rebels, the late great.

Q. How did you begin to work professionally in music?

A. I auditioned for a DJ group called the Dale Willis Organization. My older brother was part of that organization. They provided the Dance Music for parties and events around Detroit in the 70s/80s. After begging him for months to arrange a audition, I got the chance to display what I had been practicing for and in a real club with grown up people. I was 17 at the time. Dale Willis liked what I did and started working at a club called The Lady in Detroit on Tuesday Nights. I was under age, so I had to stay in the DJ booth the entire night. It was there, Dale and others taught me how to program, read, measure and pace the crowd and a lot other things that I still practice today.

I'm not a Jeff Mills afficionado but I'm listening to Final Cut - Deep In 2 The Cut, which from what I can tell is the only Final Cut album Jeff Mills was involved with? But it's really good anyway.

I think I downloaded this off an industrial music blog, and it does have a bit of an industrial/EBM sound to it but that's up my street anyway.

Collapse of Modern Culture by Urban Tribe is one of the best things Carl Craig has been involved in.

that is a cool album, didn't know c2 was involved!

i thought urban tribe was just dj stingray for some reason

I think this is the only album CC was involved with.

i believe that album was discussed upthread ... credits on that one are quite complicated.
