Tue, 24 Jun 2008The X-102 show at Sonar was really amazing.
Despite a problem at the start with the video projection,
they had to stop the gig and do some checking with the tech guys
before re-starting the gig after a 15 mns break.
X-102 was a total masterpiece of contemporary art.
Jeff Mills and Mike Banks are classy and way above any other act/dj of the whole festival.
Detroit techno is something magic.

Wed, 04 Jun 2008In the year 2500 this will be considered classical music and spoke of in the same breath as Beethovens 9th.
