Lx7#037 - DEMF, Camera Chaos With Anthony Shakir And Claude

My attempts to spend some time with Anthony Shakir on camera seemed fraught with problems... every time I planned on interviewing him, he would disappear. Having been a fan of his music since his release Club Scam II on Frictional Recordings, I've always wanted to meet him. Add to the mix, stories about his production skills and off beat personality, I wanted to say hi.. and introduce myself. While we had been writing through a chance meeting on the 313 mailing list, it was in our conversation that I thought to bring a camera and interview artists. After Claude Young's set... I finally got 5 minutes.

As you can see... the resulting footage is nothing but chaos.... We talk for abit... My plan was to discuss song inspiration, talk about his dj set.... but as chance would have it... along came Claude Young and flipped the script.

I can only say it's with admiration and honest shock the results of it all. Candid camera moments like this really help me realize that we're a huge scene of people out here. All of us making and sharing our craft and love... and sometimes we get a glimpse of the reflection of what good can come from it.

Thank you everyone for listening, watching, participating and sharing. And most of all thank you Aaron Carl, Lamont Norwood (dj Di'jital), Anthony Shakir and Claude Young for being on the show and sharing some time on camera at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival this year.
