Movement 2011 Schedule Released!

blakeandrew — Fri, 13 May 2011 15:17:00 +0000

The Movement 2011 Schedule has finally been released showing you exactly what stage and time Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival stellar lineup will be playing.

Movement 2011 Saturday Schedule:

In usual fashion, the M_nus crew will be trenching in at the Beatport stage all day. It’s starts and closes with the Hawtin brothers: at Noon Mathew Hawtin with probably set the mood with an ambient set and Richie closes with – well, a Richie set. The rest of the afternoon at the Beatport stage is peppered with JPLS, Heartthrob, Gaiser and Marc Houle – all notably playing live sets.

Highlights for the Twilight_Frequencies crew will be at the Movement Torino stage starting with Cio D’or at 6pm and ending with Monolake Surround at 10:30pm.

Movement 2011 Sunday Schedule:

Truley, it’s all about the Movement Torino stage for Sunday. This is the day and this is the stage. This stage posted some amazing talent in 2010 with the likes of Kirk Digiorgio and Orlando Voorn and they have really amped up this stage for 2011. True techedz could nearly spend all day at this one stage. Highlights include Traversable Wormhole (live) at 5pm, Steve Rachmad at 7:30pm and from there the techno juices continue to flow with Ben Klock at 9pm followed by Marcel Dettmann to close at 10:30pm.

Other notable performances will be at the Vitamin Water main stage with Gaslamp Killer at 10pm followed by the innovators of the Detroit electro sound, who have seen a recent resurgence, Aux 88 (live) at 11pm.

Movement 2011 Monday Schedule:

Monday for 2011 is really a day to jump around from stage to stage taking in all the different sounds, sights and genres electronic music has to offer. The Redbull Academy stage will showcase some international talent with Scuba at 7pm followed by Little Dragon (live) at 8:30. And everyone has been asking about the Flying Lotus (live) set which will close out the stage for the weekend at 10:30pm.

This would also be a good day to explore the concrete cave Made in Detroit stage for some local flava including Paranormal Tek at 2pm, District 909 (live) at 5pm and Claude Young at 9:30pm. Drumcode boss Adam Beyer will also be closing out the night at the Beatport Stage at 10:30pm. The masses will love the acts on the Vitamin Water main stage as well – starting with Dubfire at 7:30 followed by Green Velvet (live) at 9pm and Fatboy Slim to close out the weekend at 10pm.

Little Dragon is an electronic music group formed in 2006 an based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Nagano was born and raised in Gothenburg to a Japanese father and American mother. She grew up listening to American folk, but she always had an affinity for R&B. Keyboardist Wirenstrand spent his childhood in Smaland before moving to Gothenburg where hearing a lot of Swedish folk music. Later he got into electronic music.

Movement, The Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF) 2011 Initial Lineup

blakeandrew — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:37:55 +0000

The initial lineup for Movement 2011, the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF), has been announced (View additions to the Movement 2011 lineup and mainstage headliners). The annual event will take place, in usual fashion, at Hart Plaza, Downtown Detroit, Michigan, May 28th-30th Memorial Day Weekend. The Movement 2010 lineup seemed to pay homage to the roots of Detroit techno with lots of classic Detroit talent and innovators of the early scene. That gives the 2011 lineup freedom to branch out into other genres and bring in more international acts and up-and-comers. The Movement lineup looks great so far, looking forward to what they have to come – and of course the afterparty lineup as well.

Movement, The Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF) 2011 Initial Lineup:

Ana Sia
Art Department
Bruce Bailey
Cio D’Or
Dam-Funk & Master Blazter (live)
DJ T-1000
Echospace (live)
Goldie
Green Velvet (live)
Kerri Chandler
Marcel Dettman
Mimosa
Reference
Scuba

Movement 2010: Saturday Set Recommendations

blakeandrew — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:34:14 +0000

Two stages dominate my Detroit electronic music palette for the first day of Movement, Saturday, May 29th 2010. The Vitamin Water Main Stage is a safe bet throughout the entire day and a great place to start; especially since Matthew Hawtin (12-2), brother of Richie Hawtin, has the only set starting right at noon. It should be an interesting 2 hour set for an artist mostly known for his minimalistic visual art and texturous ambient sets. The Movement Torino Stage is also well stacked and has some great talent and sounds.

Mark Ernestus

The Rhythm & Sound (2-5) set directly following Matthew Hawtin should range from chilled out reggae grooves to deeper house and techno: Von Oswald and Ernestus’ Rhythm & Sound recordings are much more dub-influenced and less techno-orientated than the duo’s previous, and more legendary, dub-techno recordings as Basic Channel and Von Oswald’s solo work as Maurizio. Ah, great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in Detroit.

Picking up the Scion (5-6:30) live set after that is a perfect transition. This duo, René Löwe from Potsdam and Peter Kuschnereit from Berlin, started this experimental platform nearly 15 years ago though without much released material. After solo projects Scion live performances have been reintroduced and promise to bring serious dub techno.

Next I could catch Woody Mcbride (6:30-8) or make the short trek over to the Movement Torino stage and catch the tail end of long time Detroit resident Kenneth Thomas‘ (5-6:30) set. Only on the assumption that his set will go more progressive to techno and not trancy. Remember Kenny it’s the D.

Martyn

More than likely I’ll travel riverside to the Red Bull Academy Stage to catch Martyn (6-7:30) and get my dubstep fill for the weekend. DZ (4:30-6) , the previous set at this stage, pulls some good dubstep but I just don’t care for MCs over Drum & Bass and Dubstep sets these days. I may also stick around for the Exclusion (7:30-9) set, depending on where the crew is at. Typically half are the die hard drum & bass fans all closely nestled together, bumping shoulders and staking claim to their spot a top the spiraling concrete stoop adjacent the (one) stage dedicated to their chosen genre. The other half can move freely, stretching our legs and scenery while bouncing from stage to stage, experiencing the lush sounds from Detroit techno, deep house, minimal and just plain bangin techno.

Following Kenneth on the Torino stage is Kirk Degiorgio (7:30-9) who has some solid techno releases on Planet E and ART. My inclinations point towards a groovy tech house set.

Next is Marco Carola (9-11), one of the world’s premier techno DJs. With a vast array of production credits and a whole host of labels under his belt (Design, 1000, Zenit, Question, Do.Mi.No) Marco Carola has emerged in the last decade to be one of Italy’s most influential exponents of techno and electronic music.

Theo Parrish

I may get a sudden rush of Detroit soul and check out Theo Parrish (9-11) at the Made in Detroit Stage. Though it’s the underground stage, known for its horribly echoing sets with bass kicks ominously tapping your shoulder throughout this concrete cave. Plagued by incredibly high humidity created from a dense haze of human moisture that starts to pick up just as the night falls. Though Made in Detroit has worked with Paxahau to redesign the stage and improve sound quality for 2010. Well overdue.

The highlight of the evening takes us back to where we started at the Vitamin Water Main Stage. The return of Plastikman live (11-12). This set promises to bring back much of what made the infamous early Detroit Plastikman parties great with an integration of new technology, audio, visual and crowd participation via the Plastikman SYNC app.

Break downs of the Movement 2010 stages on Saturday:

Vitamin Water Main Stage: Big names and a nice mix of genres and performers. Lives sets and one not to miss: the return of Plastikman live in Detroit, we’ve been waiting a long time for this…

Beatport: Three years ago I could hardly leave this stage, then dominated by Minus label artists and zeitgeist minimal. Last year Ellen Allien poised her set as my favorite for the weekend. This year (for Saturday at least) it’s the techno-pop stage. Instead of pool side in Ibiza it’s riverside in Detroit.

Made in Detroit: Deep, House, Minimal and Detroit. Theo Parrish to close it out. Should be nice.

Red Bull Music Academy: As last year, Drum & Bass and MCs dominate this riverside stage. This year also sees the introduction of Dubstep to Movement.

Movement Torino: A solid groovy day here, seems like a hand picked sets from the Innovator Derrick May. Starts off progressive, moves into Tech House and Techno.
