No FRIEND COLLECTORS!!!!!!!
This MySpace page is for actual friends, and people I've either done business with, or merely videotaped their performances while working at Motor Detroit, The Temple, and all the previous DEMF/Fuse:IN/Movement/Area:ONE/Area:TWO festivals.
FRIEND COLLECTORS NEED NOT APPLY! No offense intended.
If you plan on being in the Detroit area for a performance, and you'd like it captured in the Guerilla style I use, by all means e-mail me to make arrangements.
Examples of my work will soon be found on VReel.net:

Detroit Techno Video (DTV) was born out of the idea that the world's TOP DJs would want a video record of their performances at what was once rated the top night club in the world: Motor Detroit.
I ran lights at Motor for 3 years, and during that time, I had the pleasure of working with literally scores of talented men and women that ranged in style from House to Techno to Electro to Ambient to whatever else existed. I am proud to say that most of them to allowed me to video tape their performances so THEY could have a video record of the superb connection that they made with the Detroit crowds.
None of the work that I have done has ever been sold to anyone but the DJ/Artist themself. A few DJs have taken my work and produced DVDs that THEY sell, and that has made me both happy, and put a little something in my pocket to boot.
I license my work to the artists for FREE use on web and/or promo materials. If it's sold commercially, I get a production credit, and I get paid based on a negotiated per unit royalty, or a flat fee to turn over ALL rights.
My list of friends on myspace shows many of the artists I have videotaped over the years, including Derrick May, Stacey Pullen, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Carl Cox, John Acquaviva, Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman), DJ T-1000, Minx, Lauren Flax, DJ Collette, DJ Bone, Aril Brikha, Ron Trent, Carl Craig, Norm Talley, Mike Clark (aka Agent X), D Wynn, Alton Miller, Bad Boy Bill, Dennis Cox, Kenny Larkin, Kelvin Larkin, Sean Deason, Laurent Garnier, K-Notario, Carlos Souffront, Derick Plaslaiko, Mike Huckaby, Buzz Gorey, and sooooo many others.
If I have worked with you, and you'd like a copy of the footage, feel free to contact me.
