“Hangout Music Festival is the first and only festival of its kind.  Located in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama, Hangout features an eclectic musical lineup with stages located directly on white sandy beaches with ocean views. Hangout features today’s top rock ‘n roll and contemporary artists in an idyllic sun-soaked setting.  No other location allows music fans the opportunity to hear three consecutive days of their favorite bands while experiencing mind, body and spirit rejuvenation on the beach.”

I completely missed this one from a few years ago, but I guess when a new album plops on the scene it gives us all a chance to find those gems we never heard from the back catalogue. Starfuckers new album Reptilians is out now on Polyvinyl Records. But in case you missed the last one, here’s a sweet video to get you in the club.

“Austin, Texas based Ringo Deathstarr are pleased to announce the release of their debut album, Colour Trip, on Sonic Unyon Records. The band, formed in 2007, channels the influences of The Cure, The Smiths, Fugazi, and The Velvet Underground, and have recently supported acts such as the Dandy Warhols, A Place to Bury Strangers, and Secret Machines. Colour Trip recalls the pop thrill and sonic squall of prime time Mary Chain or Strawberry Wine era MBV, and has already been lauded by the likes of Pitchfork and Nylon. Ringo Deathstarr are: Elliott Frazier (guitars and vocals), Alex Gehring (bass and vocals), and Daniel Coborn (drums).”

More headlining artists have been added to Movement, Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF) 2011 lineup. Most notable for myself and crew are the addition of Berghain resident, Ostgut Ton regular, Klockworks label boss, and in demand remixer Ben Klock. It’s also good to see Traversable Wormhole live at the festival. This is a project from long-time Sonic Groove label and record store owner, and brother to Brooklyn’s own Frankie Bones, Adam-X. 2010-2011 has been a great time for Adam-X. Traversable Wormhole gained much respect in the global techno community while it was still a mystery to who the producer was. Once the cat was outta the bag Adam finally started to see some much needed respect himself. Chris Liebing ended up re-released the entire Traversable Wormhole catalog, along with remixes from some of the best in the industry, on his CLR label. This has also given Adam the opportunity for further releases and re-releases on labels as Adam-X. Another notable addition is Steve Rachmad, which may be his first appearance at the actual festival, though he straight rocked an afterparty quite a few years back (which also happened to be his first performance in the US).

I believe the aforementioned additions as well as: 69 (Carl Craig) – live, Claude Young, Loco Dice, and Kero – live are really shaping Movement 2011 into a great festival lineup. These new 29 acts are of course in addition to the initial lineup including Cio D’Or, Marcel Dettman, Scuba and more.

For those of you who voiced your opinion on Movement’s lackluster lineup as compared to Ultra or Electric Zoo, maybe the chosen mainstage headliners like international success Fatboy Slim or two-time Grammy Award Nominee Felix Da Housecat are commercial enough for you to spend money on.

Other performs that may bring heads into the festival include: DJ Harvey, Dubfire, Gaslamp Killer, Ramadanman, Goldie, Soulclap, and Sven Väth.

• 69 (Carl Craig) – live
