alright i feel better now...
Detroit?s Movement festival becomes FUSE-in
25/02/2005
Kevin Saunderson and MusicLogical announced plans today to produce FUSE-in
Detroit this Memorial Day weekend (May 28, 29, 30) at Hart Plaza in Detroit,
Michigan.
A multi-year contract was signed with the City of Detroit allowing
Saunderson to produce the festival, originally known as The Detroit
Electronic Music Festival(DEMF) and more recently, Movement. The festival's
new name FUSE-in: Detroit's Electronic Movement, represents a new beginning
and a new harmony to the event, with hopes to unify the City of Detroit,
electronic music fans and its culture worldwide.
Saunderson offered, "...MusicLogical has been created to fuse and celebrate
music's finest role - to bring people together and remove all bias." Under
the auspices of Detroit Techno's founding father, MusicLogical is committed
to building on the integrity and legacy of Detroit music, furthering in the
process Electronic Music as a genre.
As festival Producer, Saunderson has put together a core team of
professionals to carry out this vision. New Festival Director, Ade' Mainor,
presently the President and Chief Operating Officer of Submerge, a
globally-celebrated Detroit record label and production company, promises to
deliver a world class festival like no other. Scott McIntyre was chosen to
serve asFestival Marketing Director.
McIntyre and his Michigan company, TheBigHouse, have been involved at many
levels in marketing and producing successful events, broadcasts, and media
from locations from as far as France to Mexico to California at festivals,
on radio and in clubs. Formally continuing his ground-shaking efforts from
lastyear's show is Olof van Winden, Chairman of The Generator Foundation, a
European group which profiles itself in Art, Music and Technology. Van
Winden will serve this year as the official International Festival Director,
assisting with foreign sponsorship, artist related services, tourism board
and ministry of culture throughout Europe.
Public Relations Director/Festival Spokesperson this year is Barbara Deyo.
Deyo dates back to the inaugural DEMF, as the head of Marketing and PR, and
has continued on as press agent to Kevin Saunderson, as well as being a
consistent voice and liaison in the Electronic Music community.
The MusicLogical staff is working fast and furious to secure vital
sponsorships and a best-ever global talent line-up for this year's festival.
With the festival for '06 already in process, and representing a massive
shift in form and function this year, we will be asking for broad community
support - help is welcomed and needed.
Two kick-off and fundraising parties will be held Sunday March 13 at Fifth
Avenue Comerica Park AND Sunday April 3 at The Necto in Ann Arbor. Line up
and details will be announced soon. Stay tuned for the debut of the FUSE-in
Detroit web site at www.FUSE-inDetroit.com presenting news, information,
schedules and volunteer opportunities.
A press conference to announce a full line up and sponsors is being planned
for early April. Details forthcoming...FUSE-in: Detroit's Electronic
