Though we’ve seen it bounce between the names DEMF and Movement like a ping-pong ball gone out of control, Detroit’s annual electronic music festival has remained consistent in one area–the music.

This year’s festival–whose full name is Movement: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival ’08–sees another roundup of house, techno, and electronic music artists on the bill, with names as old and familiar as Stacey Pullen and Richie Hawtin and new faces like The Cool Kids (pictured above).

The fun goes down May 24 – 26 in its usual spot at Detroit’s Hart Plaza. A recent press release suggests the crew putting on the event is particularly excited about the stages, which, supposedly, “provide the audience with optimal listening and dancing experience.” Pre-sale tickets are available now, at 40 bones a piece for the weekend.
