​12 top tracks from the relentless Movement Electronic Music Festival

Despite heavy delays due to weather and two very unfortunate mixer mishaps, testpilot, better known as deadmau5, still managed to show off his techno chops with a selection of harsh, underground tracks. Ctrl’s ‘Charge’, off Token Records’ 2014 EP release stood out as one of Zimmerman’s finer selections. Paired with minimal flashing green lights and garnishes of pitch black (whether that was intentional or due to electronic complications), the thundering production represented what a testpilot set could be capable of.

Finally, a song ID for one of our favorite tracks consistently dropped by Seth Troxler. You may have heard it alongside The Martinez Brothers at London’s latest Tuskegee takeover or during Seth’s Absolution Berlin performance. He even dropped it mid-set at last year’s Movement appearance on the main stage, yet it never fails to rile up a deafening cheer. Troxler’s edit of !!!’s ‘I Feel So Free’ with Moffa Lost Sounds Of Saturn is an outright banger. Through headphones it’s a pleasant, funky tune - but on the dance floor its echoing chimes morphing into spiritual piano solos and soulful vocals brings an indescribable, blinding energy that causes a crowd to lose its mind.

If there's one song that defined the shining, soulful house essence of Old Miami, it was Moodymann’s ‘Shades Of Jae’. Blaring through the speakers at the ripe hour of 4PM, nearly 10 hours in from the start of the world famous Detroit party ‘Need I Saw More’, Doc Martin dropped the infectious beat to a crowd of 300 cheekily smiling, screaming, sunglass-wearing music lovers. It’s the type of track who’s spine tickling funk gives everyone stank face for a second before throwing their hands up and two-stepping across the floor, a melody that has you swing dancing with a stranger then throwing your heads back in laughter because it’s just that good. Forget that you might have waited well over two hours to get into Seth Troxler’s infamous Monday morning party, with vibes like this nothing else really mattered.
