Its that time again. Every Memorial Day weekend of this decade, Detroit hosts the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, now known as Movement. Taking place May 23-25 at Hart Plaza in Downtown Detroit, heavy hitters in all genres of electronic such as Afrika Bambaataa (pictured), Bad Boy Bill, Bassnectar, Derrick May, among others bang out the Motor City for the weekend. While straight up hip-hop has seem to be non-existent outside of Bambaataa, experimental hip-hop artists such as Flying Lotus, RJD2, and Z-Trip will hit the stage at Movement.

“Every year our goal is to build upon the success of the previous year by bringing the best available local, national and international talent to Detroit in order to create a weekend experience unlike any
other in the World,” said Jason Huvaere, president of Paxahau and organizers of the festival. “Our team spends a lot of time selecting artist and DJs that will appeal to electronic music enthusiasts. This year there will be a major Detroit presence at the festival as well as some performers that rarely set foot on stage in the United States.”

To open up festivities this year ravestyle, The Prodigy (of "Firestarter" and "Smack My Bitch Up" fame) will play at The Fillmore on Friday, May 22. Chuck Flask, Paxahau Resident DJ and Evan Evolution will be performing in the State Bar. The doors open at 7 p.m. Early bird tickets for this all ages show
are available starting at $20 by visiting www.livenation.com. VIP tickets are available.
