Detroit's Movement Fest As It Was

Nitevibe Buzz

If you are reading this on Tuesday morning, you might say Detroit's Movement Fest as it IS, because the after parties are surely still in high gear at underground basements, lofts and after hours clubs throughout the Motor City. Techno originator, Derrick May's three day festival on five stages in Detroit's Hart Plaza may be the largest free party in the world. Techno tourists from as far as Tokyo, London and Miami gather for legendary Djs like Kevin Saunderson, Francois K, Danny Krivit, Recloose and at least 50 more DJs and bands spanning all genres. The festival ends each day at midnight but the clubs are filled with more bountiful talent until the early hours. The coolest part is that throughout the weekend you not only hear them but run into some of the biggest names in music partying their asses off just like you. Check out our photo gallery and you might find Ayro, Amp Fiddler, Ron Trent, Mike Clark, Agape and more caught in the act! (JP)

Zero to 7 in Two Days
Even before their songs were used for the high-profile final season of Sex and the City, Zero 7 fans were found in cities the world over. The UK duo behind the airy neo-soul grooves is Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker. Of course none of it would be possible without an adept team of musicians and vocalists like Mozez, Sia Furler and Sophie Barker. After the full debut album, "Simple Things" was released in 2001 you would think words like "brilliant, smart and sexy" might get tiresome. But Zero 7 is at it again with their recent March release, "When It Falls" sending music writers to the thesaurus and fans back to the record store to buy a second copy for their friends. Last year's performance at the Fillmore included a full band with five singers spanning the stage to create the lush vocal texture that is their signature sound. Zero 7 live does not disappoint. Date: Thursday 6/3, Time: 9pm, Place: The Fillmore, Cover: $25, More Info (JP)
