CARL CRAIG NAMED CREATIVE DIRECTOR
FOR MOVEMENT 2010
Techno Music legend Carl Craig has been named Creative Director for
Movement 2010. Paxahau made the announcement today as they prepare
for the start of Movement 2009 which is set to begin on Saturday, May
23, 2009 at noon.
“Movement is already a great festival and a successful brand,”
said Craig, “it is an honor to be involved with Movement in this new
capacity. I look forward to working with the team from Paxahau to
take the artistic vision for the festival to a new level.”
In his new role Craig will be involved in various creative aspects of
Movement including artist bookings and the festival’s brand image.
He will also serve as an ambassador for the Movement festival as he
travels the globe performing for throngs of electronic music
enthusiasts.
“Detroit is such a wonderful music town,” Craig continued.
“With Movement we have such a great opportunity to remind people
from around the world and those that are right here in our own
backyard that electronic music in Detroit is very powerful and that
our annual festival is the best stage for showcasing the most talented
artists of this musical genre.”
The annual Memorial Day Weekend festival has gone through several
reincarnations since its beginning in 2000. Paxahau earned the right
in 2006 to produce the festival. Since then they have been credited
with bringing financial stability to the once fledgling festival and
developing a festival atmosphere that appeals to fans because of the
high standard of production quality they demand and their ability to
book major local and international artists year after year.
Paxahau representatives were elated when Craig agreed to become
creative director and believe his involvement will strengthen the
future of the Movement festival in Detroit.
“We were extremely excited when Carl agreed to come on board as our
new creative director,” said Jason Huvaere, president of Paxahau.
“He has a complete understanding of the history of Techno Music in
Detroit. He understands its impact around the world because he lives
it every day."
“Carl is a musical visionary whose ambassadorship is unparalleled.
He will be able to capture the desires electronic music fans have for
Movement and help us to incorporate them into future festivals.”
