DETROIT ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2002 KICKS IT UP A NOTCH WITH HIP-HOP AND
INTERNATIONAL SPONSOR
"Subterraneous and Dilated Peoples prepare to jam as Ministry of Sound lays
claim to stage co-sponsorship on new DJ Tower"
Detroit - Pop Culture Media, the Detroit-based company that owns and
produces the annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival, is announcing the
addition of two nationally known Hip-Hop groups to the line-up and a new
stage sponsorship by internationally known Ministry of Sound. Joining the
performance line up over the three-day Memorial Weekend May 25th, 26th and
27th at Hart Plaza will be Subterraneous and Dilated Peoples.
"Detroit Hip-Hop is breaking through not only here, but nationally as
well," said Mike Huckaby, member of the DEMF Artistic Board of Directors.
"Both of these groups bring a different style of Hip-Hop to the table and
they truly represent the underground."
Subterraneous is known as one of the most influential underground Hip-Hop
crews coming out of Michigan. The group consists of OneManyArmy, Decompoze,
Magestic Legend,Malaki, Illite and Phrikshun. The group has garnered a
positive reputation for displaying their individual styles and then coming
together during a performance to demonstrate a unique and powerful
presence.
The group recently released their latest album "Waterworld Too." They are
scheduled to perform prior to George Clinton's 8-p.m. performance on the
DEMF stage at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 26, 2002. For more info on the group go
to www.subterraneousrecords.com.
Nationally acclaimed Dilated Peoples, formed in the mid-90s, has been
blowing the scene up with raging underground singles such as "Third Degree"
and "Work the Angles" before they embarked on a wildly successful road trip
with a film documentary about hip-hop DJs. The group has been featured in
REMIX magazine and is noted for their recently released album Expansion
Team.
Dilated Peoples is well known for providing original and inspiring
performances for fans. They are scheduled to perform following a 6 p.m.
live
jam session by Advent on the DEMF stage at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, May 27,
2002. For more info on the group go to www.dilatedpeoples.com.
Meanwhile, the wildly popular and internationally known Ministry of Sound
has claimed an envious and prominent position as a stage co-sponsor on this
year's new DJ Tower. They share a co-sponsorship with Miller Genuine Draft
where top-notch performers such as DJ Zapp, Adam X and the DEMF's own
member
of the Artistic Board of Directors K. Hand will musically spin techno fans
to higher heights of dance and sound.
"We are extremely happy to have the Ministry of Sound join this year's
festival," said PCM president and festival founder Carol Marvin. "They
represent the absolute best in electronic music entertainment. This
multi-media giant is marketing the festival in 23 U.S. markets alone to
demonstrate once again their ability to provide fun for fans on a scale
unmatched by anyone else in the business. Their presence on the new DJ
Tower
at this year's festival promises dance like never before."
The annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival is known as the world's
largest free dance party that attracted 1.7 million visitors to last year's
event and attracted a reported $147 million in economic impact to metro
Detroit.
