Electrofunk was Mr. De’s live band that played ghetto tech tracks live. shit was dope as hell, i think they played monday night in 04?
MD! + Bombscare are on Detroitluv, i think they’re down with the Paxacru hence their booking.
the rest of these, i have no idea about.
2003 was obviously the best one i’ve been to. jwan claims the first one was better, but i’m just not sure it’s possible. good posts! i’m going to link to them all at once when you have them all up.

Traxx is Melvin Oliphant III, a long-time DJ out of Chicago, runs his own label called Nation. Never really been sure who he’s affiliated with but has had acid tracks out as part of the Dirty Criminals on Gigolo, on Creme and more recently on M>O>S as X/X2.
