The festival takes place Memorial Day weekend from Saturday, May 24th through Monday, May 26th in Detroit, Michigan.
The festival that started as DEMF (The Detroit Electronic Music Festival) has been in existence since the year 2000,
initially started by Pop Culture Media along with artistic director Carl Craig.
It has passed through the hands of various management, including Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and its current 3-year managing organization, Paxahau.
The festival holds a special place for fans of the roots of electronic music, as Detroit is credited as the birthplace of techno,
and it is a bit of a return to Mecca for many of the genre’s fans.
Many noted up and coming performers have taken part in the event, as well as several mainstays that have helped to shape the sound in general,
such as Kenny Dixon Jr. (AKA Moodymann), Scion (with a special secret appearance by Basic Channel), Inner City, Luomo, Underground Resistance, Derrick May and many more.
This year’s festivities include appearances by original DEMF co-founder Carl Craig, Egyptian Lover, Speedy J, Dubfire, Benny Benassi, Moby, James Zabiela, Deadmau5 , Josh Wink , Marco Carola, Mark Farina, and others.
