Are the Belleville Three (minus one) actually happy to see the back of Derrick May?
Over the past few days, I’ve written a bit about the end of the Belleville Three. The myth, which was created by journalist Neil Rushton in the 1980s, speaks a…
FAC51 The Haçienda have an exclusive at their Good Friday party in London – and they don’t even know it!
The myth of the Belleville Three had a good life, but now it’s time for the final nail in its coffin to be well and truly hammered down. With Derrick…
Do the Belleville Three need to recruit a new member to keep up the myth? The question as a Detroit source witheringly compares Derrick May to South Park character Kenny McCormick…
For the first few years of its run, the South Park character Kenny McCormick would die in every episode – yet he would return in the next episode alive and…
Is THIS the price of being attached to Derrick May? Juan Atkins was interviewed by DJ Mag editor Carl Loben last week – but there’s no trace of the interview anywhere…
This blog believes people should choose their friends very carefully. Quite simply, if something seems off about a person, that’s because it usually is. And now, we’re starting to see…
Straight from the horse’s mouth! Derrick May and his “passport” girlfriend are back in touch – just don’t expect craven DJ Mag editor Carl Loben to ask about it (or anything else, for that matter)
I think Derrick May is trying to troll this blog. Having tried to maintain a masquerade online over the past few months by limiting comments on Instagram and deleting anything…
Juan Atkins is doing a gig next week and invited Derrick May’s friend Ash Lauryn to tag along – it couldn’t be worse than Awakening 2010, surely?

I pondered whether to write about this one at all. Then I remembered the purpose of this blog – writing the stuff about dance music that others won’t – and…
Is he just another musical fraud, then? Damning testimony from Michael James – who was there when it happened – explains why Juan Atkins suddenly doesn’t want to talk about the past anymore
I have to start this post by making a confession. I’ve gone somewhat easy on Juan Atkins over the past few months, mostly because I understand he is in very…
Can’t they all play nicely together? Derrick May making up facts, Juan Atkins bickering about the past – it’s as if there’s underlying tension somewhere…
Something must be in Detroit’s water at the moment. They’re all arguing like rats in a sack. I’ve been told about a blazing argument about why Hagi, Carl Craig’s wife,…
Ever wondered why the Belleville Three don’t perform out much? The story of how Juan Atkins flipped out over his laptop and Derrick May “earned” his money by pretending to play – again!
The Belleville Three was meant to be an inspiring story about how three men from Detroit defied the odds to become the legends of techno. A traditional rags to riches…
