Also, the funniest thing happened to me during that set. I was dancing on one of the steps with Cribby, watching the madness unfold: people crowd-surfing, dancing on each others' shoulders, screaming, bouncing up and down. I myself was dancing up a storm, when I feel a tap on my shoulder from behind me. I turned around and saw a thugged-out guy with a bewildered and somewhat worried look on his face. He grabbed my hand, put an earring in it, and sprinted away without saying a word.
Needless to say, this made my night.

Nice additions 
I'll definitely be checking out Monolake...it would be neat to see Henke in the underground Detroit stage....something about that experimental, stripped-down essential dubby techno sound seems kind of suiting for that environment, non? 
His biography on RA is quite a read, thoroughly enjoyed that.
I'm usually not into the geekier side of techno but I can't help myself being pulled.
Any info on that Dave Clarke after party?
I'm definitely using the festival again this year to see acts that I've never seen before, or have little chance of seeing in Toronto. DEMF is so good for that: exposure to so many different labels, DJs, genres of music and party vibes that you're totally not used to.
Some jaw dropping experience in previous years:
- Excision @ Red Bull Stage 2010
- Octave One in the Underground Stage 2009
- Martyn @ Red Bull Stage 2010
I need to check out a couple of more acts in the Underground stage this year. That place is INTENSE when the Detroit techno and house really gets rocking.

He may be known as The Baron Of Techno, a moniker given to him by John Peel, but Dave Clarke has an anarchist streak a mile wide and punk in his soul. Having no truck with establishment figures or authoritarianism, it's unsurprising he revels in the libertarianism of the World Wide Web. It gives symmetry to his savvy techno vision. �I got so much shit for being a futurist,� he states (he was the first Techno artist to release an Internet only single back in 2000), �When I started going digital and moved away from vinyl some of my fellow artists asked me, �How much are they paying you?� How much is who paying me? It was such a strange situation - this is techno � it�s supposed to be forward-looking! I thought, �Whatever these people say, I�m still going to move forward, it�s the right course.� He did and does. Ever the gadget-lover, he enthuses about downloading books onto hand-held devices but his main motive is delivering music to the ears of his global dancing public. He plays out every weekend everywhere. To name a recent few, The Rex in Paris, Klubbers Day in Madrid, Buenos Aires, Fabric in London, headliner of Britain�s Glade Festival, and he programmed and headlined his own stage at Holland�s Extrema Festival in 2008 and 2009. At every event there�s the same attention to detail, his sets swooping whip-smart along the cutting blade of techno and electro backed up by a seasoned bag of DJ tricks that pushes the whole caboodle to the next level. At the same time, it�s all informed by his sonic history, represented on the one hand by 2008�s �Back In The Box� mix CD wherein his peerless selection represented the dawn of house, featuring tracks by DJ Pierre, Marshall Jefferson, Farley �Jackmaster� Funk and more. On the other hand, there�s his gothic, punk side, the man in black embracing the gritty rock�n�roll energy of The Damned and Bauhaus. It seems an unlikely combination but then he�s always been an outsider� Clarke was born and raised in Brighton. Often expelled from school, he fully admits to being a disruptive boy with a short attention span caused by an insecure home life. What started him on the road to being a DJ was combining his father�s love of technology with his mother�s disco-soul records, tunes by the likes of Roy Ayers and The Crusaders. �My dad had disco lights in the front room,� Clarke explains, �record decks, reel-to-reels, reverb units, he even did a thing on BBC Radio about quadrophonics. It�s pretty obvious where I get it all from really." Retreating to his attic room he made tapes for friends, dismantled electronic equipment, and subsisted on a musical diet of Visage, early hip hop, Pigbag and punk. When his parents split, he ran away from home, sleeping rough in car-parks before a friend offered him floor-space. The only thing that kept him going was music. From soul to the Psychedelic Furs, from Devo to the nascent Chicago house sound, Clarke devoured it all voraciously and blagged himself a DJ slot in Brighton. Soon such gigs provided Clarke with a meagre living, then in 1994 his reputation was sealed by a series of EPs known collectively as �Red�. The debut album �Archive 1� followed, flecked with hints of breakbeat and electronica, a novelty in the puritanical techno scene of the time. His mix CDs included the two best-selling �World Service� outings (one of which made it into the top ten of best mix compilations of the 00's in Resident Advisor) _which showcased his dual love for electro and techno, and he briefly signed to Skint Records, resulting in 2004�s �Devils Advocate� album, a long-player jammed with dark techno energy but laced with hip hop beats. When his production pace ebbed Music Man Records gathered together �Remixes And Rareties� in 2007, making Album Of The Month in Mixmag and receiving critical plaudits all over. There is, however, no denying things eventually went quiet on the production front. Clarke greets this with a dramatic pause. �If I�d stepped into a studio then I could have done what I�d already done but I didn�t want to do that, I want to do something I haven�t done.� He pauses again before going on. �I think it�ll happen,� he allows, �I�m not going to leave it forever...� In the meantime he has plenty else on. Moving finally from rural sedate Sussex to Amsterdam revitalized him. �I felt quite excluded when I lived in the countryside,� he admits, �whereas my home in Amsterdam is fifteen minute walk from most venues so I�ve seen Patti Smith, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Horrors, Holy Fuck!. There�s no excuse not to go so that�s very inspiring.� He�s also built up his White Noise radio show on the Dutch station 3FM (also archived at the award-winning http://3voor12.vpro.nl),interviewing artists ranging from John Foxx to Coldcut to Broken Social Scene but the thrust of the show is still to cast light on exciting new music �The most important point is to air music that other stations and DJs don�t have the power to,� he says, �music that wouldn�t normally be given a chance. I can just go where I want with it although it�s still 99% techno and electro.� The same applies to his White Noise label. Emphatically not a vanity project for his own releases, it has instead hosted boutique vinyl pressings (alongside the usual digital fare) for gleaming new material by artists such as Frank Kusserov, Noirdegout, Woody McBride, Marco Bernadi, Terence Fixmer and The Hacker. These and other tunes will be chopped, hammered, filleted and turned on their heads during Clarke�s DJ sets. That�s where he comes alive, where skills honed for years blow venues apart. A 2009 highlight, for instance, was the fifteenth birthday party of FUSE, the Brussels club where his standing is second-to-none, where he�s developed an extraordinary relationship with the crowd. He speaks of it with his breath catching, as thrilled as ever by the ride the music takes him on. �I love having a crowd absolutely hanging by a thread, completely gripped,� he announces passionately, �I often say to myself in the middle of a set, �I fucking love my job�.� It�s true. He really does. And it shows. YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE SICK GET READY!!!!!!!!  RONI SIZE UK www.myspace.com/ronisizebristol Roni started on the path of production when he was thrown out of school aged 16, but music had always been a part of his life. Born and raised in Bristol, the sounds of the 70s blues parties and sound-systems happening in the St Pauls area of the city infected Roni's bones. Meeting up with Krust in the early 90s brought two musically compatible minds together, subsequently creating Full Cycle in 1993 and a new direction for electronic music. Having built a name for himself through Full Cycle and other labels, such as Talkin� Loud, 'Roni Size & Reprazent' took the world by storm in 1997 with their New Forms LP. Winning the Mercury Music Prize boosted their international status and the world awoke to the sound of Roni Size and Full Cycle. Thanks to such modern day classics as �Watching Windows�, �Heroes� and �Brown Paper Bag�, the album quickly went platinum. In 1999 with Die, Roni produced the highly acclaimed Breakbeat Era album and later that year released the long awaited second project from Reprazent, 'In the Mode' which included collaborations with hip-hop legend Method Man, Rage Against The Macine's Zac de la Rocha and beat-box master Rahzel. 2002 saw the release of 'Touching Down', Roni�s first truly solo album and one of the biggest selling independent d&b albums to date. Then in 2005 Roni came back to 'V' with the release of 'Return To V' which included the top 20 hit 'No More' with Beverley Knight. Roni Size resurrected Reprazent in 2008 with the release of a deluxe edition of his Mercury Music Prize winning album 'New Forms' on Universal in 2008. Reforming the band, they toured the biggest festivals in Europe and were amongst the nominations for best dance act from the UK Festival Awards. Roni & Reprazent recently collaborated with the BBC�s Nature�s Great Events composer, William Goodchild, to play a landmark gig with an Orchestra and Choir to mark the re-opening of Bristol�s Colston Hall. The night was rightly dubbed as the �show that we'll be talking about for years to come.� With so much already accomplished in his career, its no surprise that the next year is set to be a busy time for Roni. Currently in the studio producing his next Roni Size album, whilst also working with the band on a new Roni & Reprazent album, stay tuned to hear about these soon.  UMEK- SLOVENIA-TECHNO For a long time, Slovenia is known for its great electronic parties, but as the local scene is of boutique dimensions, everyone, who wishes to take the art of mixing and producing to a professional level, has to go out there and enter the worldwide scene. Umek has done this step as early as in the middle of the 90s and so he became one of the most important techno players of the global techno scene, even before the end of the last millennium. Together with people, who shared the same views, he successfully captured the first era of researching and recreating the rules of the dance music in Recycled Loops, Consumer Recreation and Astrodisco platforms, which all put the sound of the Slovenian techno on the world map of electronic music. In the beginning of the year 2007, he started a new 1605 Music Therapy - Sixteenofive, with which he marked the beginning of the second era of his music creation. Through the 1605 Therapy, Umek successfully spreads a mixture of brute alternative sounds on one hand and anthems for the biggest venues of the world on the other. The first group is formed of records such as Ricochet Effect, Another Matter Entirely and Utopia, while the second group includes famous Posing As Me and Carbon Occasions, the two records, which broke the club borders and conquered radio waves, with the accompanying videos played also on MTV. Cooperation with record labels such as Renaissance, Little Mountain, Ultra, Pacha, Armada, constant presence on dozens of radio stations all over the world, Essential Mix, appearances on Primavera, Monegros and Dance Valley festivals, appearances on numerous compilations and constant support of many colleagues such as Sander Kleinenberg, Fergie, Ti�sto, Judge Jules, Eddie Halliwell, John Digweed, M.I.K.E. and Carl Cox confirm that the 1605 Therapy is already showing fast results. Umek was unfortunately sick for Shazzzam so we decided to add some flavor to this historical lineup, and bang the walls down with UMEK and make up for it.
