Movement 08: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival brings back the music with an increased level of production, the Red Bull Music Academy and MySpace.

Detroit - May 24, 25 and 26th will bring Detroit alive with sounds from Movement 08: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival in Hart Plaza with the Red Bull Music Academy, MySpace promotion and a higher level of production. Movement 08 also announces discounted tickets on sale now.

The Red Bull Music Academy will join Movement 08 by producing a stage that reflects a broad range of musical talent from around the world. The Red Bull Music Academy Stage will replace the Pyramid Stage and include performances by: Newcleus, Egyptian Lover, Shawn Michaels, James Zabiela, Benny Bennassi, The Cool Kids, Girl Talk, DATABASS (featuring Godfather), Justin Kruse, Tech Itch and Dieselboy.

Also joining this year as a media partner is the vastly popular, global online social networking site MySpace. Having grown over the previous years to become the largest online social network, MySpace is utilized by many artists and fans to connect and keep in touch with each other, adding an intimate element to the usual marketing channels. MySpace's interest in working with the Movement Festival validates an already well known fact - Detroit's Electronic Music Festival is an event that is continuing to grow and attract attention on a worldwide scale.

“After the last two years of progress and reviews the festival is getting some well deserved attention,” notes festival director Jason Huvaere, “there will be no question what’s happening in Detroit on Memorial Day weekend.”

In addition, this year’s event will increase the level of production regarding sound at the main stage and weather structures to protect attendees. Movement 08 will also bring back the underground stage, where Paxahau’s involvement in the festival began. "We have taken great measures to bring the production to an even higher level," says Mike Fotias, Movement Production Manager, "We understand that attendees come here expecting nothing but the best and we are determined to deliver."

With Movement 08 quickly approaching, all information, including discount pre-sale tickets, is available now at www.myspace.com/detroitmusicfest. Stay tuned for regular updates.
