Yeah, the city was pretty crazy with hockey games 2 of the 3 nights of the festival.
It's such an incredibly well produced event, when I think about it. The sound at the main stage is mind boggling. It must be such a thrill playing there. The cobblestone jazz set was just amazing on such a big system (even though I was too dead to dance anymore). The DJ slots always happen as they are published in the schedule, the police presence isn't overbearing at all, the vendors are nice (and god knows I wouldn't be by the third day of dealing with DEMF patrons) and considering the talent, the sound, and the scale of the whole thing, it's very reasonably priced.

carl craig's live set on sunday was fantastic, although i could have done without the saxaphone being played over almost ever track.
Lee burridge's set was pretty wicked & it was neat too see he was playing alot of vinyl.
Josh wink's set was good as well. I love acid.
Dubfire stole the show for me. That was so ing twisted. Everyone was going mental!

I was there for Zabiela on Sunday at Boom Boom Room. A great way to start of "my weekend" haha. Went to DEMF which has changed over the years. Much more organized and the line up was more international. Although i do miss the emphasis they used to put on detroit, chicago, and new york artists. Highlights for me were Speedy J, Josh Wink and the encore performance of dubfire when he played strings of life. A perfect tribute to Detroit and it's techno history!
Its pretty cool that there is a festival of this magnitude in such an urban setting. The police were present but not overbearing. And they even THANKED(!!!!) the mayor and city council for their cooperation at the end of the show! I wish we could bring miller and city council to detroit next year to show them how to fix toronto's tourism problem!
All in all a great time and next year im definately hitting up the whole weekend there!

I can't wait for next year again... so good.
I still can't get over how perfect the weather and beats were for an amazing day, brought along some DEMF virgins, and it was great to see them start the day looking around at the ravers, hippies, weirdos, stand to the back of the tents... then 6 hours later, jumping around outside of a tent going crazy to dubfire and fist pumping to speedy J...
