Msterbeau Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I'll have my girls that weekend. Good chance we'll go one day. We'll see how money is...
n0Mad Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I thought this was now called "the movement" Well, they call it "Movement". Everyone else still calls it "DEMF".
SuZQZ Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Poop! I will be in Mackinaw that weekend. I really wanted to try and make it to the festival this year, too.
wilhelm k Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 name wise you are both basically right. the official name is MOVEMENT "Detroit's Electronic Music festival" also, Fusion 4 is not the 1st night of the demf, it's on the 2nd night, sunday may 25th.
Destroit Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I boycott it now that it's corporate. Used to be the best musical event in the world imo...now it's owned by Pepsi I mean $20 to get in? Yeah right...I refuse. It used to be free. USED to be my favorite thing in the world to go to...
TygerLili Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Meh! Haven't gone since the first year they charged $20. Wasn't worth it.
punk_princess Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Meh! Haven't gone since the first year they charged $20. Wasn't worth it. I went that year and I agree.
celestial Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 ill be there all 3 days, looking for some nice after parties too.
wilhelm k Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 it actaully isn that corperate anymore, since paxahau took over a few years ago. thats why they charge for it now. last year nitzer ebb headlined the main stage, that alone is worth $50, let alone $20. im not a paxahau supporter and i too liked it better when it was free, but the festival has to pay for itself somehow. I boycott it now that it's corporate. Used to be the best musical event in the world imo...now it's owned by Pepsi I mean $20 to get in? Yeah right...I refuse. It used to be free. USED to be my favorite thing in the world to go to...
Tryp Posted May 11, 2008 Author Posted May 11, 2008 The offcial name is DEMF. The Movement is the production co that hosts it. But I will be downt here all weekend so if anyone would like to meet up. I wonder if they'll have the CC stage this year. They havn't had it in a while. The second day of DEMF at CC Fusion 4 will be happening as an OFFICAL afterparty for DEMF. I'm helping E Dubb and King James promote/host So be sure to checkt hat out too guys.
Tryp Posted May 11, 2008 Author Posted May 11, 2008 The reason they started chargin is because when it was free the people running it would fuck over the DJs and not pay them anything and Detroit was losing out on Money.
nilhil_glory Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 actually i read up quiet a bit on this subject you have to figure when you run a festivel of this magnatude all the people you have to pay. Permits, electricity needed to run be it for vendors or speakers or lighting, then rigging, vendors themselves have to get paid to be braught in on top of the profits they rake in, security, medical staff, bringing the musicians in, food and beverages for all the people needed for volunteers, people to run the equipment that are not volunteers, then advertising, sanitation costs, and so on and soforth for them to run this festival or ANY like it for free is just absurd, derrick may HAD to sell the event off to paxhau to make it work becouse he was loosing so much money the first two years they started charging went off to pay the last year they didnt charge on top of themselves..... and this year IS going to be probably the best one in a long time!
wilhelm k Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 The offcial name is DEMF. The Movement is the production co that hosts it. incorrect. paxahau is the production company that throws movement/demf. the official name is MOVEMENT "Detroit's Electronic Music Festival 08" www.myspace.com/detroitmusicfest also, neither e dubb or king james are throwing/hosting fusion. e dubb is djing at fusion, but the actual event is thrown by dps (which is 2 people,netiher of which is e dubb or king james) king james is nightsneak productions, his next event is august 2nd at bert's warehouse.
Tryp Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 Eh James and Dubb lied to me then. They told me they were hosting lol. I know james is Nightsneak, my brother and I are good friends with him. We helped put together all the past Nightsneak events.

paranormal.tek Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Eh James and Dubb lied to me then. They told me they were hosting lol. I know james is Nightsneak, my brother and I are good friends with him.
