With Skates by Mountain Range

 These depths circulate the whole world. A mountain Range only appears as big as you can perceive its glory. These are just random thought I’m having while getting lost in “With Skates.” On soundcloud there are tons of wonderful bands just waiting to be plucked from the bedroom, and spaces where they create. I stumbled onto Mountain Range, and the wonderful track produced by Stuart Thomas. The sound is absolute bliss, and its really hard not to talk with such lofty dispositions while listening to it. This is the kind of music that makes life flash before your eyes, or the kind that extends something small and wonderful. If you have some time, give them a longer listen. They have some really great music on soundcloud. I know I’m hooked, and will continue to celebrate their magic.

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.

The entire list of 29 new acts announced for Movement (DEMF) 2011:

• 69 (Carl Craig) – live

Detroit based DJ Corbin Davis first launched himself into the electronic music industry in 1996 when he purchased his first set of decks and a drum machine. He emerged onto the scene in 1998 playing a diverse blend of techno that has fostered a strong local following. Corbin has played countless venues and parties including classic Detroit mainstays: The Packard Plant, The Works, The Motor Lounge, The Majestic Theatre and Mack and Bellevue. He has played alongside the likes of Ben Sims, Mark Verbos, Adam X, Terry Mullen, Woody Mcbride, Phono, Adam Beyer, Mark Broom, Tim Xavier, Richard Devine, Otto Van Scharch and Jimmer Edger.

Most recently Corbin has been working closely with Nick Bien and Chad Parraghi (Project 313) on the newly formed imprint Blank Code; a label created to spotlight the newest techno producers from Detroit and around the Globe.

Variety has always been the key to Corbin’s fresh and interesting sets and this one is no different: a glitch set with chilled out valleys, clicky peeks and a deep, rolling countryside.

Movement Electronic Music Festival 2010

The initial Movement (aka DEMF) 2010 lineup has been announced and it looks impressive. As it should, the Detroit Electronic Music Festival will be celebrating a decade in existence this Memorial Day weekend, May 29th-31st, 2010. Headlining the festival will be classic Detroit pioneer’s such as Kevin Saunderson‘s Inner City, the return of Richie Hawtin‘s Pastikman (not seen in Detroit since 1994) and Juan Atkins‘ Model 500.

Rightfully so the festival is staying true to the rich techno heritage of Detroit with homegrown artists like Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin, Theo Parrish, Rick Wilhite, DJ Rolando and Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir.

2010 will also see plenty of international electronic stars as well: A-Trak, Chris Liebing, Claude VonStroke, DJ Sneak, Joel Mull, Martyn, Simian Mobile Disco, Kid Sister, Rex Sepulveda and more.

I’m glad to see the return of many more “live” acts; something we’ve seen in the past at the festival, but I think has been missing the last few years. The full list is below… and still more to come.

Stunning video to a a beautiful track. Moderate (Modeselektor+Apparat) is one of the best things to happen in 2009. This marriage couldn’t be more compatible; the glitchy, IDM production and smooth vocals on Apparat’s recent works combined with Modeselektor’s driving dancefloor anthems, pushy beats and broken-beat techno has birthed a magical, compromising sound.

Tracks on the album phase back and forth slightly dipping from one pallet to the next. The artists’ merging new layers with each stroke, generating a cohesive work of art. The pendulum sways to the side of Apparat on “Rusty Nails”; a widely tolerable track with soothing vocals, drums, layered synths and even a signature Modeselektor lead. I deeply look forward to upcoming releases; together and separate.
