DOH I FORGOT DREXCIYA

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:10 (sixteen years ago)

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

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:10 (sixteen years ago)

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.

EDB, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:15 (sixteen years ago)

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

sous les paves, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:33 (sixteen years ago)

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...

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 03:35 (sixteen years ago)

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.

pipecock, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 04:28 (sixteen years ago)

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.

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 04:56 (sixteen years ago)

t-shirt

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 04:58 (sixteen years ago)

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

pipecock, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 06:13 (sixteen years ago)

those who know; don't tell

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 06:20 (sixteen years ago)

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

DJ Angoreinhardt (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 06:22 (sixteen years ago)

went for mills tho bell tempting

a lot of me wanted to vote james pennington

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 06:37 (sixteen years ago)

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.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 07:12 (sixteen years ago)

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

sam500, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 07:23 (sixteen years ago)

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

voted craig but would be happy if mike won.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:07 (sixteen years ago)

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

dan selzer, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

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

blunt, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:01 (sixteen years ago)

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

dan selzer, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:04 (sixteen years ago)

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

eddie only appears on red planet 3.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:06 (sixteen years ago)

Mills, just

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

Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:08 (sixteen years ago)

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:18 (sixteen years ago)

that shirt has been around for a while.

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

languid samuel l. jackson (jim), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:34 (sixteen years ago)

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

matt2, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:42 (sixteen years ago)

ABARHAM LINCLON 606

Snop Snitchin, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:54 (sixteen years ago)

cannot choose so not voting!

society for cutting up (tricky), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 18:49 (sixteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Sunday, 14 June 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

richly hawtin obviously

sam500, Sunday, 14 June 2009 23:19 (fifteen years ago)

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

pipecock, Monday, 15 June 2009 22:06 (fifteen years ago)

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.

Moodles, Monday, 15 June 2009 22:46 (fifteen years ago)

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

System, Monday, 15 June 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

gah

guammls (QE II), Monday, 15 June 2009 23:04 (fifteen years ago)

My choice came in second....

pipecock, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 02:43 (fifteen years ago)

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

guammls (QE II), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 04:03 (fifteen years ago)

kenny larkin deserves a bit more cred

sam500, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 04:11 (fifteen years ago)

stacey pullen too

guammls (QE II), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 04:15 (fifteen years ago)

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.

pipecock, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:19 (fifteen years ago)

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

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago)

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

EDB, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 18:32 (fifteen years ago)

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:

http://acuterecords.com/blog/?p=25

dan selzer, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago)

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.

Enter nothing in the dialog and click 'OK' (Display Name), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:00 (fifteen years ago)

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.

the table is the table, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:04 (fifteen years ago)

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

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:07 (fifteen years ago)

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

DJ MARTIAN IS A KING AMONG MEN. Dan Perry, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:29 (fifteen years ago)

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.

the table is the table, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 20:34 (fifteen years ago)

mt rushmore only has four heads on it

moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 00:15 (fifteen years ago)

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.

sam500, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

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

EDB, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 01:10 (fifteen years ago)

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....

the table is the table, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 16:50 (fifteen years ago)

three years pass...

rob hood has done a ton of good shit but is kinda samey in the final analysis

juan looks kinda strange in that last pic ... so cerebral

the late great, Thursday, 30 August 2012 12:09 (twelve years ago)

i'll have a go.

ledge, Thursday, 30 August 2012 13:36 (twelve years ago)

whoa that magazine w/the heat transfer is still available

hmmm

your native bacon (mh), Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago)

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

the late great, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago)

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

the late great, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:21 (twelve years ago)

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?
