/in , /by

Movement Detroit released its Phase 1 lineup earlier this year, announcing the festival debut of German techno giant group Kraftwerk who will be landing in Hart Plaza with their famous 3D set-up.

Alongside them, a list of who’s who of today’s dance music scene with focus on house and Detroit techno. Names such as Carl Craig, Chris Liebing, Eddie Fowlkes, Maceo Plex, Stacey Pullen and Tale of Us are all coming back to what is certainly recognized by many as a yearly must-attend underground house and techno event.

detroit-movement2013-stage_joe_gallIt’s that time of year again when presales go on at the height of the morning and there are another seven months to go before Detroit Electronic Music Festival, a.k.a. Movement, comes around again. Next year’s festival is sure to be a treat as Movement is celebrating its ten-year anniversary. We are speculating a possible marathon set featuring our Detroit techno pioneers as special guests or maybe some wild back-to-back sets from world-class talent. Reminiscing on who played this past year, we are expecting 2016 to raise the bar even higher.

Movement 2015: Review

/in , , , , /by


movementbeatportsignPaxahau‘s Detroit Electronic Music Festival, or as it’s better known – Movement, has come to a close.  It was, yet again, an incredible festival.  People from all over the world make the pilgrimage to Harts Plaza in Detroit to celebrate Memorial Day with a weekend full of techno.  What used to be a desolate city is now becoming a vibrant place as more money flows in to rebuild what used to be the auto capital of the world and of course, the home of Motown. Recently, $30 billion dollars have been invested into Detroit for a trolley system, luxury apartments, and other construction projects. The people of Detroit are so resilient and dedicated to their city. The resurgence of this city is felt from the moment you step foot into downtown.

Attendance for this year’s Movement festival appeared to be up from year’s past. Despite the extremely long lines the first day, techno fans endured and danced like no other to the pounding bass lines of such acts like Catz N Dogz, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Sian and Stacey Pullen.  The lineup at Movement rivals any techno event in the world and this year was no exception! Even DJ’s that are not booked at the festival will still make the trip to Detroit to honor the birthplace of techno. Read more
