Techno and house fans in North America have been waiting in anticipation for Movement Electronic Music Festival to drop its Phase I line-up, set to come out on Jan 20th.
The Detroit festival is celebrating 10 years of operations this coming Memorial Day Weekend and began teasing its fans with clues on social media hinting at some of the artists we can expect to see in May. They essentially announced the first-ever Movement appearance of German techno group, Kratfwerk, while the subsequent two were more obvious indications that Hart Plaza will play host to the Movement debuts of both Get Real (Claude vonStroke & Green Velvet) and Caribou.
Then, last night, a reportedly leaked image of the festival’s Phase I line-up began to circulate on various social media channels, igniting speculations as to the acts that the festival’s promoters Paxahau will be announcing this coming Wednesday. Whether accurate or not, the leak included the aforementioned three artists, making it believable to the many who saw and shared the picture.
Adding further fuel to the fire today, Drumcode head-honcho Adam Beyer posted the same line-up (which he is featured in) on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Although the Swedish producer removed the image since, this solidified the already effervescent internet chatter from fans convinced that it may truly be the line-up coming out next week.
While we don’t know for sure, it has surely left us waiting for a confirmation. But for that, we might just have to wait until Jan 20th.
