[Review] DEMF 2008 aka most insane crackfest weekend.. EVER!
I'm home first out of the NYTA's so I'm gonna start it now. Especially since I don't feel like working  .
Movement day 1:
As soon as I walked in I was noticing TA's all over the place without needing to text them. Clovis, Jenny Pie, Rjt, Lucid, Beema, Jay RP, Blake, Inconspicuous, Gypsy Girl, Techniquez, his roomate dunno his TA name, Infinitetrance, & epdarks. <3
This was definitely the most exciting day of the festival and I lost alot of energy at this party. Well worth it. Beatport stage rocked alot too.. Saw Justin Long, Joris Voorn live - his 2nd or 3rd track was Robert Babicz - Dark Flower (Joris Voorn Magnolia Mix) *died*. Then went to the main stage for DBX Live = This dude is fuking SICK! & Moby's closing set.
There was someone that was going to a festival in Europe and wanted to know how Moby did.. Well, if you DON'T see Moby, I will personally kick your ass. He was absolutely insane and worth the 40$ alone. All his songs had tons and tons of energy. Dropped a sick remix of Body rock and Basment Jaxx - Where's your head at! The crowd was AMAZING. Moby had us all right at his fingertips. Never have I seen a closing song as ridiculous as the one that moby played. The song went NOWHERE but just the style of it [had this main techy sound pounding every second and slowly getting faster,faster,faster!!!!] Moby throughout his entire set got up on the tables just to interract with the crowd. At the very end he held up both fists together while everyone in the crowd was fist pumping to the song. It was nuts. Totally looked like were were Hailing Moby :rofl:
Moby plays NOTHING like the Moby you see and hear on TV. All the TA's that had never seen him do a dj set were shocked.
Movement Day 2:
Because of the crazy afterparty I woke up late and got to the festival pretty freaking late. I was outside waiting in line to get in and we realize we had to go back to the hotel to drop something off. As we're walking back to the hotel [right across from the festival] We hear Michael Cassette - Shadows Movement [Komytea mix]. My boyfriend and I were shocked to hear this at a "Techno" festival. We knew it had to be one person and we guessed Kenneth Thomas. By the time we came back into line and *finally* made it in we ran to the Pioneer dj tent and KT was fuking bowing!. We were so pist off! AHH wackness. KT would have been a very nice and different set from the rest of the festival. After KT was Zabiela and this guy rocks! The shit he does with the cdj's is jaw dropping. We only got to hear him for about 40 mins cuz we went to catch Magda at the beatport stage. Magda was meh. I assume it's only because they stole her lap top 3 weeks ago. Maybe she hasn't recovered anything but I could only listen to her for 30 more mins before going back to the Pioneer stage. James was done by then . Thankfully they had this playstation experience bus that had all these cool video game and for like 15 mins I played ratchet and clank and my bf played GTA4. The second day wasn't as great. When we finally got outside to hear Benny benassi for a bit he was okay. Was a bit cheesy at times but some songs weren't so bad. Couldn't take it anymore and since there was this rumor that the after party over sold tickets.. we decided to go home and get ready for that instead.
After parties are on a planet on their own. Truly insane and never ever seen anything like it. Not even anything remotely close to the shit that goes down. Will review those later. 
I recommend this to anybody with an open mind in Music. The festival was great. Detroit is cheap (Hotel flight parties..) The cab fares and the mission of trying to find a food place is what sucks. This area of detroit is a "working city" so everything is closed on the weekend.
