Movement, the festival formerly known as DEMF is upon us as Memorial Weekend, one of the biggest summer-kickoff weekends in Detroit (the biggest for electronic music fans), is just a few days away. The 13th installment of our annual dance music showcase is almost here. On the heels of the electronic music's explosive rise to the mainstream, Movement 2013 is sure to be another great success and important display of Detroit to those coming from afar.
So many venues, promoters and both local and out-of-town talent have kicked it up a notch this year with parties literally happening everywhere at every time. Here are some of the highlights of what will be going on around Movement this year.

MOON BOOTS - French Express - USA
Moon Boots entered the world in the mid-1980s via Cape Canaveral. After years of service as the preferred footwear of celebrity astronauts (notably Tom Hanks), Moon Boots came to life during a classified experiment aboard the International Space Station. Little is known of what actually transpired aboard the shuttle, but in short, Moon Boots became a sentient creature, equipped with reason, intuition, and groove.
Before long, he grew tired of working for the space-military-industrial complex and found solace in the soothing sounds of underground disco and R&B boogie records. He knew it was only of matter of time before he was hung up like so many boots before him. He abandoned the program and used his savings to build a music-production studio in an unnamed U.S. location, where he is currently working.

MuzzY is Detroit-Based Producer/Musician Dan Hacker. Thrust onto the scene at a young age, Dan found solace in the old school. Stylistically blending Motown and Jazz samples with modern hip-hop drum breaks, his music can best be described as "Soul-Hop". He combines a wide variety of influences from Stevie Wonder, to Led Zeppelin, to J Dilla with his own live Guitar playing; which together makes for an interesting recipe set to tantalize your ear drums. You can catch MuzzY bringing back the funk around Michigan and the Midwest, and also with the likes of GRiZ and Tone Poets (Live Jam Band with Freddy Todd, ill.so.naj, and Unc).
