This year's Detroit Electronic Music Festival -
Movement - will take over Hart Plaza on May 24-26 with double the volunteers and triple the ticket sales of last year.
Moby,
Richie Hawtin, and
Carl Craig are just a tiny fraction of the performances taking place.
Excerpt:
To date, Paxahau has 235 volunteers to work this year's festival, which is up from last year's 115. More than 40 of the volunteers are from out of state, and Paxahau expects to max out volunteers at 250 shortly, and will then rollover volunteers beyond 250 to staff the 2009 festival.
Additionally, festival ticket sales are triple of what they were at this time last year.
"We truly believe that this year's increased interest, on all levels, is a direct result of our work to continually upgrade the festival experience, from the artist line-up to the drastically enhanced sound systems as well as weatherproofed staging," stated Jason Huvaere, festival director.
