but where would you have him book derrick? at the 930? i love the club, but it doesn't do much for me as a dance venue. i fear that most people come to the 930 expecting to stand in one spot and face the stage all night; as opposed to dancing about, socializing, facing all directions, and moving about.
didnt they have that detroit tent at the Curefest tour thingamabob? with May and Saunderson?

at merriweather? i swear that happened. somewhere i know it did, and it was awesome. with a capital A.

Edit: it was at that Moby Area One tour…not the Cure…duh…

I realize Fatboy Slim is commercialized and stuff, but he didnt just come out of nowhere.
He was a major influence in the UK Big Beat and funky house scene.

and i saw him at 930 once too and he had a DJ booth in the center of the club and you could dance on the stage if you wanted. he was coked to the gills and i think even throwing records out into the crowd….that was entertaining.

just to make sure your don't blame the club too much: jaun atkins spun at the club…7-8 years ago? drew about 150 people. not much of a demand for these guys outside of germany.

i've seen saunderson and craig do amazing dj sets at small places around the detroit metroplex, and the draw is about the same.

i'll be missing this event, mostly cuz the local politics suck ass, but if you go, craig and hawtin are not to be missed. and tune in to late night radio for some dj godfather mixes.

no blame from me as to why the club doesn't book DJs i'd like to hear spin here… just wish some of them would have gained more level of popularity here in the US…

The additional artists are making it a solid lineup.

With Peanut Butter Wolf and Pete Rock, I can see Madlib being added soon, esp. since he's already on tour.

Magda is very easy on the eyes as well as ears.

interesting from an interview with Pete Rock

What can we expect from you at the Movement festival?
I got memories of Detroit, so I got something up my sleeve. Just look forward to real hip-hop and real music â?? whatever the crowd calls for. Basically, I got a whole hour and a half dedicated to [the great Detroit producer] Dilla.
