DEMF Afterparty Picks - Round 3: Sunday May 24th

As seems to be more and more the case every passing year, Sunday nights at DEMF are so jam-packed full of afterparties, even the most experienced festival-goer will have their head spinning trying to decide. I was no exception to this. At first it was a split decision between two parties, then three, and eventually five!

Finally, after a long internal debate, and the cancellation of Visionquest's Sensorama party, I landed on the party that the majority of my friends are going to, and what looks to be the most unique DEMF afterparty thus far.

My Choice:
I'm On A Boat on the Detroit Princess

Notice this time I said "choice," as opposed to "recommendation." I did this because unlike my other selections, I don't believe this party is as viable to everybody. At the current ticket price of $50, this party surpasses all others (including almost the three days of Movement itself) as the most expensive event at DEMF.

This price is not without some warrant, however. First of all, it's on a freaking boat. A MASSIVE boat. The Detroit Princess's website purports a guest capacity of 1500 people split among four levels.
The lineup is equally gigantic, with names like Carl Craig, Loco Dice, and Luciano headlining.
This might be a potential detractor from the party for some people. After all, the same artists will all be preforming at Movement on both Sunday and Monday, so if you already have tickets to that, you might be hesitant to spend the extra money on a possible repeat performance.

The boat is scheduled to set sail at 1:30am, cruise for two hours, and dock at 3:30am, with the party continuing until 5am. Boarding begins at midnight though, which is exactly when Movement ends. Thus, the timeline of this event might also prove vexing for some. With so many other great parties going on, many people don't want to be relegated to one spot for 3+ hours.

Thus far, I have never had anything other than an awesome experience on a techno boat party, even on the Ghostly one last year at WMC, which didn't actually go anywhere. I'm hoping that this will be a repeat experience. I'm also hoping that, since boats are regulated by somewhat strict Coast Guard rules, there wont be a chance of the party being like the oversold and overcrowded clusterfuck that Cheap Sunglasses' DEMF event was last year.

So if any of the above things are not for you (as I find myself wondering), do yourself a favor and check out one of the other promising events on Sunday night. The ones I'm eyeballing are:

• Night Moves @ The River's Edge Grille, headlined by Adultnapper, Jeff Samuel, Matt Tolfrey, and the Martin Brothers.
• Hejdrop @ Blondies, headlined by Steve Bug and Mikael Stavostrand.
• No Way Back @ Bohemian National Home, headlined by Derek Plaslaiko.
• Beretta Resolution @ The Works, headlined by Aril Brikha, Omar S, and Reference.

The last two of which extend long into the early hours of Monday. So if you're up for it, you could certainly hit up one of them after going on the boat.

DEMF 2009: Price increase

MOVEMENT 2009 $45 WEEKEND PASS;

GOES UP TO $50 ON MAY 15th

Movement 2009 pre-sale weekend passes will only be $45 until Friday, May 15th, when they will increase to $50. Movement weekend passes have been selling at a rapid pace. The numbers of passes sold are already double what they were last year at this time.

“We are very proud of the fact that even in this tough economy we were able to keep the weekend passes to Movement moderately priced,” said Jason Huvaere, Director of the Festival. “It’s the largest electronic music event in the country and the experience we are able to give music fans is far greater than the price of the ticket. There is no place else where someone can go to see 36 hours of music on four stages being performed by world-renowned musicians at this ticket price.”

As of Sunday, May 10 some 2,377 weekend passes have been purchased for Movement 2009. At the same time last year, only 1,141 weekend passes had been purchased for Movement 2008. VIP ticket purchases are up this year to 422 from 273 last year.

Movement 2009 organizers are encouraging electronic music enthusiasts to take advantage of the discount presale weekend pass special. Prices will increase at the gate. They will be:

$30 for an Individual Day Pass
$60 for a Weekend Pass
$150 for a VIP Pass

On average between 6,000 and 10,000 tickets are bought at the gate each of the three days of the festival.

Passes can be purchased online at www.wantickets.com. Movement Weekend Passes can also be purchased (cash only) at various locations including: 323East in Royal Oak; Spectacles in Detroit; Record Time in Roseville; and Gramophone in Chicago. VIP tickets can also be purchased at 323 East in Royal Oak and Spectacles in Detroit.

Last year nearly 80,000 people passed through the turnstiles at Hart Plaza for Movement 2008.

Our intention is to showcase the top artists in each of the sub-genres, there will be something for everyone - a literal ‘zoo’ of electronic music. For us, this is the culmination of many years of dedication and hard work.

DEMF Afterparty Picks - Round 2: Saturday May 23rd

Becoming almost as quintessential as the festival itself are the afterparties, and Saturday this year is no exception. In lieu of a repeat visit to a much more crowded Oslo, only one other lineup grabbed my immediate attention for this night.

My recommendation:
VOLATL presents: The Other Nine to Five @ The River's Edge Grille

Subtitled "Clink vs. Hello?Repeat," this party boasts a huge lineup featuring artists from (obviously) both the rosters of Clink Recordings and Hello?Repeat, along with support from local midwest and New York DJ's.

VOLATL, a Chicago-based promoter, had hosted the same event last year at Bert's On Broadway. Referred to by some of my friends as the "crack den," Bert's gave last year's event the feel of an underground warehouse party. This year, the event will be held at the River's Edge Grille, a newly renovated bar and restaurant located on the Detroit waterfront. It will be interesting to see if such a different venue will drastically change the dynamic of the party or not. I've not been to the Grille before, but reviews mention a large outdoor deck, which up against the river will make a fantastic backdrop for the party, and has me very excited. I don't know about you, but I love open-air events.

The expensive-for-Detroit cover of $20 might set some people off, but considering the lineup I would say it is well worth it. Repping the Hello?Repeat camp are two of my current favorite producers: Daze Maxim, and Bruno Pronsato. Bruno's festival-exclusive live PA is more than enough to draw me in, and is something everyone should see at least once. Also exclusive to this party is a live PA from Clink's Tim Xavier. For the rest of the lineup, check the flier.

If when 4am comes you still haven't gotten your fill, follow the cabs on over to reSolute's afterhours event at TV Bar for more of Camea, K.atou, and several other DJ's.

Win a Weekend Pass for Movement 09

From one of my fav blogs little white earbuds:
http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/win-a-weekend-pass-for-movement-09/

DEMF Afterparty Picks - Round 1: Friday May 22nd

First up isn't technically an afterparty, but a PREparty.
Many of us will be Arriving in Detroit the day or night prior to the actual festival, and happily there will already be things going on.

My recommendation:
The Bunker - Detroit Edition @ Oslo

Hosted by The Bunker, New York's longest running strictly-techno party, this event promises to be much the same as one of their excellent nights in Brooklyn.

Headlining is Jan Krueger, Hello?Repeat label boss and last year's most standout DJ in Detroit (for me anyways). If his festival-exclusive performance here isn't enough to draw you, rounding out the lineup is Derek Plaslaiko, one of the most consistently great techno DJ's I've seen, and Bunker resident Spinoza.

I expect it to be a laid back (and hopefully not very crowded) night full of fantastic music, a perfect way to kick off the weekend.

If you arrive even earlier in the day on the 22nd, you might drop by and check out Grimace's Pre-Festival BBQ @ Corktown Tavern, now in its seventh year, and featuring at least 10 DJ's and grilled food. It starts at 5pm and runs throughout the evening.
