Guest ramon Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Detroit's Electronic Music Festival 2007 to showcase rare performances by legendary Detroit artistsMoodymann, Model 500, and Jeff MillsMovement 07, Detroit's Electronic Music Festival will feature performances by legendary Detroit artists Moodymann live featuring Pitch Black City; Model 500 featuring the godfather of Detroit Techno Juan Atkins; and Jeff Mills, the longtime hard hitting "wizard" of Detroit Techno. The festival will take place Memorial Day weekend May 26-28 at its home in Downtown Detroit's Hart Plaza.Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr.) is a Detroit techno/house artist known for his innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves taken from the City's historically influential jazz, soul, funk and disco scene. Rarely appearing live, his headlining performance at the festival is the first show in support of his upcoming studio album and will include a full stage show with a band.Juan Atkins, who is widely regarded as the godfather of Techno, began in the 1980s recording what stands as perhaps the most influential body of work within the genre. Model 500 will headline the main stage on Sunday at the festival, highlighting the continuing influence of his music on a global scale.Jeff Mills is a planetary superstar of techno, an unwearied hero of mega-events and an ace of the three-deck mix; his musical touch has been a force on this city's dance scene for over 20 years. Jeff returns to Detroit to headline the festival with a main stage closing performance on Monday night.Other 2007 special performances include German producers Booka Shade, who have earned a reputation as one of the world's most exciting live electronic music acts. Their performance at the 2007 festival will mark Booka Shade's first appearance in Detroit. Also performing live will be Octave One, featuring Detroit natives, brothers Lenny and Lawrence Burden, who have released groundbreaking underground dance anthems on their Detroit-based record label, 430 West Records.In addition to Moodymann featuring Pitch Black City, Model 500, Jeff Mills, Booka Shade, and Octave One, the 2007 festival will feature the following artists (more artists to be announced):A Guy Called Gerald - liveAbe Duque & Blake Baxter - liveBaby Ford & ZipBooka Shade - live - First time in DetroitBrian Sanhaji - liveButane - liveChristian SmithClaude VonStrokeDamian LazarusD.

Guest LeVeL Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Why would anybody go to a crappy town like Detroit to see these artists when your able to see most of those artists during conference here in Miami, in the comfort of your own hometown with beautiful women everywhere, sunny weather, great clubs ect...I just dont see the point...

Guest bootstah Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Why would anybody go to a crappy town like Detroit to see these artists when your able to see most of those artists during conference here in Miami' date=' in the comfort of your own hometown with beautiful women everywhere, sunny weather, great clubs ect...I just dont see the point...[/quote']I think perhaps you need to take a step out of Miami for just a second, there is more to live you know. Detroit is home of techno if you weren't aware hence DEMF. And yea ou can see most of the artists but there are tons at DEMF this year that have opted out of WMC. Music heads/lovers and ravers mass together for one massive wicked party, not to mention the afters......Ramon, I'll defo see you there this year! LUCIANO!!!!!

Guest 4040 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 This reminds me of the old school days going on road trips with friends to party our asses off. If you get a chance I highly recommend getting out of miami once in a while to check out other scenes. It's a whole different vibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
