DEMF was such a blast. Great group of friends, great music, sick party, many sketch moments, group moves, slogans! Fun fun fun
Hanging out with Cribby the rockstar rooster, Vince the coughing machine, Jenn and Andie! We had the perfect party team 
I got to meet a bunch of TA's that I havent met before or not introduced to... Sarah, stephan, jenniepie, Liam, Maggie, Alex, George , shanny, josee and the list goes on.
Day 1: Day
Left kitchener on sat AM and was pleased to see Jenn making it out for at least one day! thats the spirit girl! As soon we arrived in detroit, we made our first trip to IHOP Great service and good food. I have a picture for Rachel from IHOP!
After ihop and getting settled in at Comfort inn, we headed to the venue and music was already pumping. Getting the tickets took roughly 20 mins despite the long ass line! From the get go, it looked like a circus/halloween. Freaks, candy ravers, goths, gangstas, you name it!!
We headed directly to the Beatport tent and caught the end of Brian Kage vs Luke hess. It wasn't bad and had some good moments at the end. Justin Long came right after and didn't screw around and used his time slot to the fullest! With such short sets, no time to waste. Long has such energy behind the decks and his tunes were bumpy n groovy. He dropped the best house set of the weekend, bar none (mind you i didnt check many of the house djs).
After hearing Jenn rave about Voorn, I had high expectations of him. Unfortunately....he didnt do it for me. He had some good tracks, then dropped some trancy tunes that id see tiesto play  (im mean) Voorn did seem to have technical difficulties and it probably threw him off.
Zip on the main stage was hit and miss. He was mostly minimal. Same with DBX. So during those time slots, i wandered around, hung out and chilled.
Back at the BP tent, Alex Smoke was dropping some great techno and kept me put. Along with Justin Long, he was the highlight of Saturday.
Day 1: After party
Having bought my Contakt ticket on pre-sale, I left Hart plaza during Alex under's set and headed to Andrew's Hall. The lineup was a total mess (aka worst than Sasha n digweed in MTL, minus the cold). We waited in line for about 1.5 hours due to fuckups with will call at the door. 1 hr in, they tell everyone to go the back door. So I lost my spot in line while rushing to the back Once in, I was not super impressed with whole setup. I didn't see the Contakt concept at all in the place....
The place was rammed to the tits, it was hot as hell, and with everyone smoking in there, it was simply disgusting. They had an artificial ceilling like at Dragonfly, which was the only feature in the place. The sound was insanely loud and way too much bass. The bass problem was eventually fixed during Hawtin's set, but the sound still stayed too loud!
We toughed it out for 2 hours and left around 3:30-4. Music wise, richie was great (like he was all weekend). He was playing with another guy, whom i don't know the name... Perhaps if the ambience was better, I would of enjoyed the party. Was it worth $45...nawww. When the Contakt party goes to MTL, will I go, most likely (hoping to see the actual concept and better setup).
Anyone knows when Richie stopped? (I am thinking 4 am as they closed at 4 on the sunday nite)
Day 2 to come later....!
