“Movement is a techno institution in Detroit so for me, it’s like reuniting with an old friend," said Carl Cox. "I’m going to make up for the years I’ve missed with a show that’s going to send Detroit to another dimension!”

Detroit ghettotech favs HiTech are also on the bill, with big draws from the world of house including Jamie xx, John Summit and Patrick Topping, while bassier sounds come from Chase & Status and Sammy Virji, with Ela Minus performing live.
