So yeah, I’ve been googling more about my favorite dance/techno acts recently (LUOMO and DEEP DISH; btw, if you’re into dance you really must check out both: ANYTHING bu Luomo and, say, “Say Hello” by Deep Dish, their Grammy nom in 2005).

I read some article in Spin a few years ago where it said that Deep Dish was the most expensive London club act (as they spin there a lot), with shows averaging $80-120 where normally they go for $40-50 or so. So I just assumed from that point that they were from London.

Nope, those crazy middle-eastern geniuses of the beat mixing, who I’ve adored since I was a part time rave DJ back in 1996-1997 (and got all their vinyl, and worked it into all of my sets), are from Washington DC. 4 hours from where I have lived here for the past six years, and I’ve never went up to see them.

Hmmmm. Looking at their upcoming schedule, it looks like they might as well have been from London, as their tour schedule, like most excellent DJs, is Europe only. Poo.
