Movement 08: Detroit's Electronic Music Festival brings back the music with an
increased level of production, the Red Bull Music Academy and MySpace.
Detroit - May 24, 25 and 26th will bring Detroit alive with sounds from Movement 08:
Detroit's Electronic Music Festival in Hart Plaza with the Red Bull Music Academy, MySpace
promotion and a higher level of production. Movement 08 also announces discounted tickets
on sale now.
The Red Bull Music Academy will join Movement 08 by producing a stage that reflects a broad
range of musical talent from around the world. The Red Bull Music Academy Stage will replace
the Pyramid Stage and include performances by: Newcleus, Egyptian Lover, Shawn Michaels,
James Zabiela, Benny Bennassi, The Cool Kids,Girl Talk, DATABASS (featuring Godfather), Justin
Kruse, Tech Itch and Dieselboy.
Also joining this year as a media partner is the vastly popular, global online social networking site
MySpace. Having grown over the previous years to become the largest online social network,
MySpace is utilized by many artists and fans to connect and keep in touch with each other, adding
an intimate element to the usual marketing channels. MySpace's interest in working with the Movement
Festival validates an already well known fact - Detroit's Electronic Music Festival is an event that is
continuing to grow and attract attention on a worldwide scale.
"After the last two years of progress and reviews the festival is getting some well deserved attention,"
notes festival director Jason Huvaere, "there will be no question what's happening in Detroit on Memorial
Day weekend."
In addition, this year's event will increase the level of production regarding sound at the main stage and
weather structures to protect attendees. Movement 08 will also bring back the underground stage, where
Paxahau's involvement in the festival began. "We have taken great measures to bring the production to an
even higher level," says Mike Fotias, Movement Production Manager, "We understand that attendees come
here expecting nothing but the best and we are determined to deliver."
With Movement 08 quickly approaching, all information, including discount pre-sale tickets, is available now at
www.myspace.com/detroitmusicfest.com Stay tuned for regular updates.

I mean there are cabs. I have just heard horror stories from friends of mine. Having to wait without a cab ever showing, being overcharged and driven around. I also know a lot of people that have not experienced problems I just wouldn't rely on them. |

I'll agree with you on Benassi, but not Zabiela. I've been to the festival six times and yes they sometimes end up booking a douchebag like Benassi, but having him on the bill isn't going to affect the crowd (it's going to be a bunch of mashed kids wearing goggles like usual). Plus, if you had ever been to demf, you would realize that it isn't just techno... a common misconception. It never has been all techno, and it never will be. And on the Zabiela note, if you followed his music you'd know that he is one of the most eclectic djs out there and - oh my god - he even dabbles in techno. Bash away, but ignorance is not going to win this battle.
"The only reason DEMF became what it is is because it was an alternative for people who didnt want to party with a sea of douchebags that would descend into miami from jersey and elsewhere."
Please, don't make statements about things you apparently know nothing about and have never been a part of.
Other than that, I got nothin but love yuris <3 |
i think you are wrong on multiple levels - but i dont feel like arguing about it and certainly not on zabiela thing. i know you've been fan - and I know his work reasonably well to have an educated opinion on his music. but its pointless to argue with a fanboy (and i'm not using that term derisively) |

so i asked one of my boys about this cab situation and here is what he had to say....good
Cabs? We were once saved by a cabby in north detroit minutes after a bum threatened to eat my ex. That's a true story...it went a little something like this... "Its SO IN HOT, give me some of that ice cream bitch, I'M GONNA EAT YOU!"
I love Detroit : ) :haha: |

maybe midtown, Wayne State area? there really is no justifiable reason for venturing further north at this point unless maybe you know someone living there. unless maybe that was a joke and you meant somewhere in the suburbs, i dunno. |
