Movement ’08: Day One

And so it began once again, Movement, Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival ’08 version kicked off yesterday in the familiar environs of Hart Plaza right downtown next to Joe Louis arena where the Red Wings were playing for the Stanley Cup.

For the third year production crew Paxahau were at the helm and they seem to be locking in on the set up for the event. Five stages boasted thunderous sound and the side stages feature roofs without ever feeling confining. Perfect weather greeted a first day highlighted by sets from Newcleus, Jooris Voorn, Deadmau5, Moby and Christian Wunsch.

First up of note was Deepchord presents Echospace with an afternoon set that washed the main stage in enough bass to match the warm sunshine, but with enough rattle to fight right …

Heat @ UC Riverside

Saturday night kinda reminded myself why I’m not a big fan of festivals.
