A globally known Detroit tradition picks up the dance beat Saturday afternoon for the 14th straight Memorial Day Weekend.
WDIV reports on the Movement Electronic Music Festival running through Sunday night:
The lineup includes a live set by the renowned producer Nicolas Jaar; French DJ and music producer Brodinski; as well as the legendary superstar duo and remix team Masters at Work -- Kenny Dope and Louie Vega.
Many Detroit favorites will also play, including a live set by electronic saxophonist and Mad Liberation tour star, GRiZ; 7th City Distribution founder and early 90s techno DJ Daniel Bell, deep-house favorite Moodymann; and second wave techno pioneer Stacey Pullen.
A half-hour before the festival's kickoff, Mayor Dave Bing tweeted: "It's a beautiful day to be @MovementDetroit. Enjoy the music that started in Detroit."
Premium tickets are gone, though general admission tickets remain available for $49 (one day) or $99 (three days). The schedule is here.
Feel the beat: Movement is an apt name for the annual festival, as this 2012 photo from Paxahau shows.
