​12 top tracks from the relentless Movement Electronic Music Festival

Joseph Capriati played too many gems to list here, but the recently released ‘Pool Party Music’ by Mall Grab might have been the most surprising, and yet the most lively of the entire set. The main stage amphitheater was packed from the start as Capriati delivered a high energy display of relentless techno and house. His performance was clearly a major stop on the lineup for many. Mall Grab on the other hand has been on a tear as of late. His music has been featured heavily in DJ sets around the world, from jacking house to mesmerizing techno, and the versatility of his material seemingly knows no bounds. ‘Pool Party Music’, released on Hot Haus Recs, is a major tune to look out for this summer.

UK based DJ and producer Leon Vynehall has been at the top of the house scene for many years, so his set on the first day was highly anticipated. He plays a wide variety of dance music, from the bass heavy new school tunes to more classic and soulful jams, delivering an eclectic selection spanning time and space. Toward the end of his set he dropped the S-Tone mix of Montego Bay’s ‘Everything’, an absolute classic released in 1992 that commands fairly steep prices on vinyl resale markets like Discogs. Much of the crowd recognized the track, singing along to the irresistible vocal hook.

We heard and witnessed the performance of 'At Les' by Carl Craig and Versus Orchestra on the final night of Movement. It was a beautiful, cinematic experience that only put us more in awe of Carl Craig as a producer. Don't let the beginning fool you, 'At Les' is a techno masterpiece which stood out as an appropriate ending to an intense weekend. Detroit techno meets Hans Zimmer is the best way to describe this song, and if you get the chance to catch this performance live, do so.
