leuke review ook van contact avond tijdens demf..
"Contakt at St. Andrew’s Hall
Line-up: Richie Hawtin, Magda, Troy Pierce, Marc Houle, Heartthrob, Gaiser, Paco Osuna and more
M_nus’ Contakt party was one of the most anticipated events of the DEMF, not least because it give the curious a first chance to look at The Cube. The official end to their self-imposed “ten weeks of silence”, the event featured label mainstays Magda, Troy Pierce and Heartthrob performing with Richie Hawtin at the helm. First off, let me just say that The Cube—which is little more than a clear plastic box with some Christmas lights stuck inside, however well designed it may be—was among the most underwhelming things I’ve seen in quite some time. Hawtin must have been aware of this, however, as the thing was shoved off into a remote corner of the club far removed from the center of attention. Unfortunately, the rest of the night followed suit, with all of the performers delivering less-than-stellar sets that were marred by technical problems and a sub-par sound system (seriously, the place was a Hip Hop club…an ill-suited venue for a M_nus party if ever there were one). Even the crowd lacked that certain spark, with nary a soul in sight dancing the entire night. Bottom line: Contakt failed to live up to the hype. – Carl Ritger" Residentadviser
