Movement 2011 is coming!
|This year’s Movement Electronic Music Festival has its three headliners for the vitaminwater main stage lined up—Fatboy Slim, Carl Craig performing live as 69, and Felix Da Housecat. Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) is one of the World’s most legendary and prolific DJs and producers. His international success was built on hits such as “Everybody Needs a 303,” Praise You,” “Weapon of Choice” and the accompanying videos. At Movement he will be returning to America for the first time with the latest version of his Big Beach Boutique production. “It is a great honour for me to play at the birthplace of the music I have loved all my life,” Norman said. “Of course I have completely bastardised techno for my own ends over the years so I return respectfully with the Brighton, England take on the music that inspired us all.” His performance at Movement on Monday, May 30 will be the first time he has performed at the Detroit festival.
During Movement on Sunday, May 29 Carl Craig as 69 will help festival-goers travel back to a time in his career when the inventive producer’s performances were filled with an extremely raw analog sound that one Beatport reporter described as “astonishing.” His performance at Movement will be the first time Craig has performed as 69 anywhere.
Two-time Grammy Award Nominee Felix Da Housecat will bring his electro sound to the Movement crowd on Saturday, May 28 when he headlines the main stage. Credited as the innovator of the current electro sound; the Chicago-bred artist brought electro to the masses with his groundbreaking album ‘Kittenz & Thee Glitz’ which included the UK top 40 pop chart crossover his ‘Silver Screen (Shower Scene)’.
