The Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF), and its successors comprise an annual series of electronic dance music showcases held in Detroit each Memorial Day weekend since 2000. Following the first three events under the name Detroit Electronic Music Festival (2000–2002) were Movement (2003–2004), Fuse-In (2005) and currently, Movement: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival (2006–present), with each name change reflecting shifts in festival management. All of these festivals continued the DEMF’s traditions by featuring performances by musicians and DJs and emphasizing the progressive qualities of the culture surrounding electronic music.
Detroit’s annual Movement festival, which happens Memorial Day weekend (May 26-28) at the city’s downtown Hart Plaza, has announced some of its lineup. Some of the artists include Jeff Mills, Public Enemy, Lil’ Louis, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Kyle Hall, Mathew Jonson, Radio Slave, Lindstrøm, Todd Terje, Loco Dice, and Mr Oizo. Movement occurs right before Montreal’s phenomenal MUTEK fest, so a lot of the same acts who perform at that one also hit Detroit’s electronic-music extravaganza. Tickets for the 3-day event are $75, very inexpensive in the realm of music festivals.
