DEMF Weekend - Party Guide




Good Morning All

Though the electronic music and dance parties have already begun, this is the official weekend of the
Detroit Electronic Music Festival
DEMF, MEMF or whatever you still call the fest is now in its 11th year of showcasing the performances by musicians and DJs and emphasizing the progressive qualities of the culture surrounding electronic music.

In case you didn’t know, techno is a form of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in Detroit during the mid to late 1980s. The first recorded use of the word techno, in reference to a genre of music, was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit Techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built.

Whether you love the music or not, the Detroit Electronic Music Festival is always a huge weekend of fun, a time to check out some new local music as well as some pioneers of the scene – and of course, the PARTIES!

Here is a little guide to some of what is happening this weekend, in and outside of the fest.

THURSDAY

For many of you, tonight might be the last night of decent sleep you get until Monday or Tuesday. For the rest of you, like myself, it all begins tonight!

Myself along with some other great local talent are hosting a FREE pre-party in Hamtramck at The Mars Bar on Joseph Campau. (Nice plug?) But really, there aren’t many FREE parties going on, and since you’ve already dropped a few bills for your Movement tickets and gas is still expensive, if you want to kick things off with us and practice your dance moves – come hang out tonight!

...FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY - LIVE
Vancouver Canada
Front Line Assembly was the best known of the various electronic music projects undertaken by the prolific Vancouver-based duo of Bill Leeb (vocals, synthesizers) and Rhys Fulber (synthesizers, samplers). After working in the mid-'80s under the pseudonym Wilhelm Schroeder with SKINNY PUPPY, the Austrian-born Leeb formed the industrial/techno-based Front Line Assembly in 1986 with Fulber --and synth player Michael Balch. Get ready for an intimate performance by these Industrial greats.

DIE KRUPPS - LIVE
Dusseldorf Germany
Critics worldwide hail them alongside KRAFTWERK and EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN as pioneers of Electronic and Industrial music. Bands such as FRONT 242 and NITZER EBB called them their inspiration, and their musical ideas found their way into the sound of a wide spectrum of music, from DEPECHE MODE to the innovative pioneers of Detroit Techno. Over 30 years and many internationally successful albums, DIE KRUPPS have developed an unmistakable signature sound that is meant to stay. This is the Rare appearance
you NEVER get to see in Detroit. Make sure you're there.
