Wow, so much fear of the other places in Detroit, wow... it ain't a walk in the park, but it's not as bad as everyone makes it seem! Ohh well, maybe it's just cuz i've been across the border my entire life and conistently over there since i've been 16 for concerts, raves, clubs and bars etc...
I for one can't wait to go back again next year, such great fun! 3 days of friends, sun, music, etc... gonna take it a bit more easy next year tho, still party, but better! I felt like balls all day on Monday UGHH!

Richie Hawtin is playing on the main stage at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF). It’s Monday, May 29, 2000 and tens of thousands of people crowd into Detroit’s Hart Plaza as the festival draws to an end of a very successful first year.
2009 marked the 10th anniversary of the festival, which has seen its ups and downs. During the initial few years’ attendance continued to rise peaking at an estimated 1.7 million people in 2002. The years that followed saw the festival run into financial trouble. Despite positive reviews from many of the attendees and performers, organizer after organizer was unable to find a way to make the festival a financial success. It wasn’t until the current organizer Paxahau took over, and began charging cover charge that the financial troubles ended. The festival was no longer free, but was anything but expensive. This year an early bird ticket for the entire weekend cost a meager $40.
Once the festival began charging the number of attendees dropped. This wasn’t a bad thing. Rather than having 1.7 million people who weren’t sure what they were attending or why they had come, now there were 50,000 music fans who knew exactly why they were there. The music.
This year the lineup of talent had some of the biggest names in electronic music from many different genres. The festival still celebrated Detroit’s history as the birthplace of Techno by having a heavy stream of Techno’s big names, such as Carl Cox who headlined Saturday on the main stage, and Luciano and Loco Dice who headlined on the Sunday, but it also featured Benny Benassi and Bad Boy Bill catering to a more main stream crowd. The finale of the festival had two of the originators of Detroit Techno Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson who both received a hometown hero’s welcome as they closed the main stage.
This festival gives artists great exposure to people like me, who are electronic music fans but who might not follow Techno as closely other genres like Progressive or House. I have attended the festival each of the 10 years since it started. The one thing I notice every year is I’m always excited to see the headliners on the bill that I already know, but every year the best part ends up being seeing DJs who I’ve never seen before or sometimes never even heard of.
This year was no different. Going into the festival I was looking forward to seeing Nic Fanciulli and Carl Cox, but by the end of the weekend the highlights were Marco Carola and The Wighnomy Brothers, both of whom helped create the electric atmosphere at the Beatport Stage, which was the place to be all weekend.
One of the best parts about the festival is the value I received for the money I spent to go to Detroit. $40 dollars gave me three days of access to dozens of great artists from main stage headliners to up and coming talents across many different genres. It’s easy to spend more than $40 for cover at some nightclub parties! Between the value, the music, and the amazingly entertaining crowd who attends the festival, Movement is an experience that will not disappoint. I’ve gone 10 years in a row, and next year I will make it number 11

This is what confuses me? I thought it was the 10 year this year, the tenth aniversary and all that?! But as we were leaving after Derrick May on Monday, the MC in the closing announcements said thanks and good night and then "see you all next year for the tenth aniversary of electronic music at Hart Plaza Detroit"
Was the first DEMF not at Hart Plaza?
He says it in this video, at 57secs or so...
WTF?!:conf:
