Movement Detroit 2022: May 28-30

thanks for the suggestion. looks like Andres is on the Stargate Stage during Patrick Russell and Eris Drew. I'll step away from the Underground stage to check out his set. and will sessions & amp fiddler are at RBMA which is an easy stage to get to, so I'll check them out too after a little bit of anthony parasole.

for some reason i feel a lot less pressure to catch full sets at movement, something about it makes me feel fine just walking around and seeing what catches my ear.

already sold out.

not for me but this is definitely the "biggest" after party of the weekend. fastest after party sellout of this year or last year.

Am I the only one who can't stand Seth Troxler, Loco Dice, or The Martinez Brothers? Their sets are just so generic and flatlined imo. Like gorblata said, its just fucking high hats for hours at a time.

I've enjoyed Seth Troxler when I've seen him, but don't think he's mind-blowing. Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers have bored me live.

I think b2bs beyond two DJs tend to get a bit messy and unfocused. Detroit Love at Coachella was the notable exception.

I can't tell if you are kidding but yeah they kinda all suck. Troxler is just a douche too.

His twitter is a pretty solid example of it. His most recent tweets on Cardi B are pretty telling. Also watch literally any interview he's in he comes off as a total pretentious asshole. He had some tweet saying how soul-less music has become the other day meanwhile he's playing the most cookie cutter tech-house sets out there lol.

I did not enjoy Belleville Three that much last year sadly, just didnt flow well; however, the Four Tet b2b Daphni b2b Floating Points set was spec-fuckin'-tacular.

Ehhh, I dunno, it seemed like to me every damn time Floating Points hit the decks, he killed the vibe Four Tet and Daphni were groovin.

I heard that from a lot of people, but I go weekend 2 and thought it was great. I'm not sure if it was sloppier or arranged different for those who went weekend 1. I was way more into their set in Detroit either way though. 

y'all know i'm not trying to rely on a weather forecast this far out, but purely temperature-wise, it will be nice hopefully being in the 70s since we are in the 90s now on the gulf coast.

not sure if this has changed since they first published the map, but it looks like the pyramid stage is oriented differently this year. It's facing the steps with it's back to the river rather than being perpendicular to the river.

i did notice the change in the RBMA stage when it was first published, I think that is a good change. will have to see the pyramid stage in person.

yeah i'm unsure about it.

crowds really were a nonissue for me last year at any of the stages, but if I had to choose a least favorite stage in terms of crowding it was the pyramid, but I'm not sure if the new alignment will make that better or worse. the positive side of me thinks the sound when standing to the right of the steps (right of the VIP section) might be better than last year, providing an opportunity for the crowd to spread out there a bit.

I remember the Pyramid Stage getting pretty crowded in 2016. It's also a bummer you won't be able to see much of the water now.
