This Memorial Day Weekend offers many opportunities -- both online and in-person -- to dance to your heart’s content.
Across nearly two decades and multiple iterations, Paxahau’s Movement festival in Detroit has beenMemorial Day Weekend festival destination for electronic music fans who like techno, a product as Detroitian as Motown and the automotive industry. Though Hart Plaza was empty last MDW, Paxahau brought Movement to us via a virtual festival and a still-ongoing series of livestreamed DJ sets.
This year, Micro Movement, as it’s called, is something of a hybrid event, taking place both IRL and URL. Locals can watch artists like Kevin Saunderson, DJ Minx, Waajeed, Kyle Hall, Stefan Ringer and more in the flesh at three venues over the weekend, while the rest of us can livestream the action on Twitch. It’s a lineup packed with homegrown artists who continue to cement the city’s musical legacy.
