The Metro

Movement is a big event with small beginnings


Listen Later

Movement began in 2000 as a grassroots tribute to Detroit’s role in the birth of techno — a massive event at Hart Plaza, with walls of sound pulsing the music of famous artists from across the globe.

Yet it also remains an acknowledgment that Detroit is at the center of it all. The festival has long honored the raw, electrified spirit of the city — where basement beats from the Belleville Three became a global language. 

Movement isn’t just a party. It’s a space where sound, struggle and innovation come together — and where Detroit keeps redefining the future of music.

Sam Fotias, director of operations at Paxahau — the organization that produces the Movement festival — joined The Metro on Tuesday to share more about what's in store this weekend. And just a heads up that WDET will once again be teaming up with Paxahau as an official media partner for the event.

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
