    Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival: Mark your calendars, book your
    flights / hotels and tell your friends about one of the best weekends
    of electronic music events in the known universe. Saturday May 26
    through Sunday May 28, noon-midnight in beautiful Hart Plaza, downtown
    Detroit – on the riverfront. And that’s just the festival itself. With
    over 50 afterparties held throughout the weekend last year you no doubt
    will hear some of your favorite artists play, somewhere. The word on
    official afterparties as well as all other relevant info to help you
    have the best time you can in Detroit will be on the festival website (http://www.demf.com) as soon as it becomes available.

    As for the festival itself: Movement 07 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.

    Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr.) is a legendary 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.
