RICARDO VILLALOBOS TO PERFORM AT MOVEMENT FESTIVAL IN U.S.
33 MORE ACTS ANNOUNCED TO MOVEMENT FESTIVAL LINE-UP
MOVEMENT TORINO TO SPONSOR FIFTH STAGE IN DETROIT
DETROIT, April 26, 2010—Paxahau announced today Ricardo Villalobos will be
performing in Detroit for the Movement Electronic Music Festival Powered by
Ford Fiesta; the addition of a 5th stage sponsored by Movement Torino; and 32
more acts who will perform in Hart Plaza May 29-31 including Ghostland
Observatory, Derrick May, Booka Shade, and Marco Carola.
Villalobos, a world-renowned microhouse and minimal techno DJ/producer, last
performed in Detroit in 2002 when he played live at Paxahau Electronic Music
Festival (PEMF), a four-day party that was held at the now closed Panacea
Nightclub in downtown Detroit.
"Ricardo is looking forward to coming back to Detroit again after all these
years," said his Agent Goetz Guse of Cocoon Agency out of Frankfurt, Germany.
“His return to the United States and Detroit for the Movement Electronic Music
Festival is exclusive to Paxahau. He isn’t booked to perform at any other
venue in the States, and we don’t anticipate he will be this year."
In addition to Villalobos; the contemporary dance music duo Booka Shade from
Berlin has been scheduled for a live performance; along with electro, rock, and
funk duo Ghostland Observatory who will also perform live.
“We are feeling very good about how this year’s Movement lineup has come
together,” said Jason Huvaere, Executive Director of Movement Electronic Music
Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta. “With today’s announcement of Ricardo and the
other 31 artists, the response we are getting is extremely positive.”
