Young’un electronic up-comers are set to dish out hearing loss Saturday night. Zedd, Porter Robinson and headliner Skrillex announced the final stop of their Global Dance tour a few months back, so the day’s finally here for dub dudes and bass heads to do their thing in Royal Oak.

Allan Ester, a longtime Detroit DJ and the progeny of Detroit's first generation of underground DJs like Ken Collier, gave a sermon on Sunday at the Made in Detroit stage. It was one of the finest sets I have ever seen him deliver.

In its third and final (we think) round of announcements for this year's Movement Festival, Paxahau has saved the most inspired booking for last. Yes, we're talking about the double-bass 'n' drums attack of the Dirtbombs, heading by vocalist-guitarist Mick Collins, a pioneer of '80s garage rock who also had a fancy for the electronic dance sounds he experienced growing up on the techno-heavy West Side.

Mo' Movement headliners and dubby Detroit debuts

by Walter Wasacz on March 22, 2011 at 1:07PM

The news in round two of Paxahau’s announcements of its 2011 festival schedule includes the live debut of Carl Craig’s 69 — that’s six-nine, by the way, not sixty nine, a project launched 20 years ago and one of the first to break up the beats of Detroit techno’s heretofore silky 4/4 productions — and the Detroit debut of Ramadanman, as fearless and versatile a bass producer there is. He's from London, 23, first transformed by dubstep and now equally fluent in house, techno and the playground-underground sound of Chicago, Juke. His schoolmates at Leeds University called him David Kennedy.

Dub you very much: Movement lines up first 20 artists

by Walter Wasacz on February 25, 2011 at 2:16PM

While perpetual enfant terrible trance-tech crossover clown Sven Väth and the equally hilarious Visionquest (made up of homies Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss) may get top billing in the first round of lineup announcements for Movement 2011, we beg to go even deeper, darker and further outside the box in making our first "must-see" recommendations for this year's festival. Let's start with Echospace, the Detroit dub techno duo (technically Port Huron and Chicago) with origins in Deepchord (Rod Modell) and Soultek (Steven Hitchell), which last played the festival in 2008.
