TECHNO MOUNT RUSHMORE

DOH I FORGOT DREXCIYA

we'll take write-in votes for drexciya if you want.

Haha, was thinking of this titular shirt the other day. I'm not sure I'm confidently aware enough to distinguish overall accomplishment from founding-fatherism, though, otherwise I suppose I'd go ahead and vote carl.

Carl Craig probably more influental but I voted my concience: Mad Mike

i still haven't made the t-shirt, though i have the heat transfer sitting around here somewhere ... you need like an industrial grade press to do it right, can't iron it on apparently...

why Claude Young? why not Shake? Dan Bell? No Octave One? Richie but no Basic Channel?!?!

if i were gonna pick "the guys" (not for a Mount Rushmore style monument tho!) for me it would be Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Shake, Mad Mike, Dan Bell, Jeff Mills, Basic Channel, and Robert Hood. but those are my choices, not what i think most would want.

it's from a t-shirt, pipecock ... shake and dan bell and octave one are good ideas. basic channel are not from detroit. i guess neither is richie but richie is on the t-shirt so i put him up there.

t-shirt

is this a reference to another thread or something else altogether? links on these kinds of things might be helpful.

those who know; don't tell

Ha, thought that t-shirt had Ivan as the first name. I was like, who?

went for mills tho bell tempting

a lot of me wanted to vote james pennington

I guess Eddie Fowlkes deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore for being there right from the start, even though he never got quite as famous as the other three.

Does Eddie Fowlkes have any seminal releases to his name? Much as I *loved* his two tracks on the True People comp.

if eddie deserves to be there for being there from the start, so does blake.

voted craig but would be happy if mike won.

Would you say technically that Windsor is in the Detroit metropolitan area?

eddie deserves to be there because red planet was as good as ur back when it counted. ain't no two tracks or comps about it

Eddie Folwkes "Time to Express" is pretty seminal to me. It was on Techno 1, I think?

eddie deserves to be there because red planet was as good as ur back when it counted

eddie only appears on red planet 3.

Mills, just

+ The Carl Craig Official Souvenir Stall
+ Mad Mike's Tourist Information Kiosk

btw i def want the t-shirt

ben drury cover

that shirt has been around for a while.

also, anyone who doesn't vote Mad Mike is on my shit list.

Really how can one choose between Mad Mike and CC (and Rob Hood and Jeff Mills) in terms of overall impact?

ABARHAM LINCLON 606

cannot choose so not voting!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

richly hawtin obviously

i went with my heart on this one....

I probably listen to Richie Hawtin the most out of this group, but I'm going with Jeff Mills. "The Bells" and the Liquid Room mix would be enough to put him up there, but there is oh, so much more.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

gah

My choice came in second....

i guess i thought mills and banks would get more votes. i think i did vote for CC

kenny larkin deserves a bit more cred

stacey pullen too

I mean I wouldn't argue against any of those guys, even Hawtin. That said, Mad Mike and Shake are the two most techno motherfuckers ever. Since Shake wasn't an option I went with Mike.

Never understood the Carl Craig love. What should I check out?

I can't complain since I voted for Carl, but it would have been nice if Robert Hood got at least one vote.

as one can hear in this mix made for last years ILX DJ mix competition, I'm partial to Pullen's Wave the Rave Goodbye:

The Psyche/BFC comp will always be my favorite stuff of his.

http://www.discogs.com/Psyche-BFC-Elements-1989-1990/release/9939

It is a shame that Mike Banks did not take the top spot in this poll. He towers over the competition.

I must agree-- Carl Craig has done a lot more spotty work and and also turned into a pretty unreliable DJ with questionable motives.

Hood should have gotten more love, same with Pullen. Mad Mike should have won this.

thanks, blueski. remember looking for that Landcruising comp off and on for years, and it was always very $$$.

Hood should have gotten more love

Agreed... he arguably invented a genre and all. Um I don't think I voted but I might have given him a shout

same with Pullen.

Nothing against him but if I understand the idea of Mt Rushmore correctly I'm not sure how you can elevate him above the other dudes here

I mean, of course. Really, if I had done this poll (or the first one that this one responds to), I would have chosen five: CC, Mad Mike, Robert Hood, Juan Atkins and Derrick May. but still, the other dudes on here deserve love.

mt rushmore only has four heads on it

Stacey Pullen's 'Theory of Silent Phase' album was a nice Detroit lp that I don't listen to much these days. Other than that, his production work has been too limited to compete with most of these guys. Loved his BBC Ess. Mix and DJ Kicks mixes from the mid-90's however.

xpost: that's what makes it such a good/hard shirt/poll: you can only choose one and only one.

realized i missed Pullen here in SF last friday, which really pisses me off. when i saw him two years ago in miami, he and lee burridge were the best part of the night....

i lost this t-shirt

do it ledge

i'll have a go.

whoa that magazine w/the heat transfer is still available

hmmm

it's a shitty heat transfer and not a particularly good issue of arkitip either, would skip

it is very cheap though! they must have a lot of leftovers because they tend to mark up the back issues to like $40, $50, $100, $200 depending

seems like craig should go in the middle, as the roosevelt of the four, but maybe you don't wanna split up the big three?
