Movement 2011, Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF), Adds to Lineup

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.

New Music: Calvin Harris, Ready for the Weekend

Ready for the Weekend, by Calvin Harris is out today. I really don’t have much to say about it. Nothing struck me as impressive with this release. Check it out and tell me if I’m wrong.

Another SXSW Free Download

SXSW Tomorrows Duds

Some more free tracks from SXSW 2009 titled Tomorrow’s Stars From Sxsw. Quite pretentious, though probably true…if your looking for mainstream radio-play crap. Sorry but, nothing stood out for me in this sampler and to me, its not worth the price. There may be a track or two that reminds you of your old girlfriend…if you’re in grade school. So if you want to reminisce in bunk-bed staring a a tatted poster of poser indie rockers, download this sampler and clear your afternoon.
