Dirtbombs, Flying Lotus, Little Dragon, Monolake added to Movement lineup

In its third and final (we think) round of announcements for this year's Movement Festival, Paxahau has saved the most inspired booking for last. Yes, we're talking about the double-bass 'n' drums attack of the Dirtbombs, heading by vocalist-guitarist Mick Collins, a pioneer of '80s garage rock who also had a fancy for the electronic dance sounds he experienced growing up on the techno-heavy West Side.

The band promises to play tracks from its LP ('Party Store') dedicated to tracks by Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Mike Banks and Kevin Saunderson, but we also wouldn't mind hearing its cover of 'Lost Love,' a track by compatriot Detroit dance punk duo Adult.

Also inspired: the return of Flying Lotus, who has killed every Detroit crowd he's faced (he does it the same all over the world), Sweden's Little Dragon, original techno-hippie-raver Space Time Continuum and ultimate old school hardware loving Detroit electro titans Aux 88. Also don't miss Monolake, the Berlin-based project headed by Robert Henke, who is in part responsible for the development of Ableton Live software.

More good pickings: Second wave Chicago house champ Glenn Underground, Detroit house tastemaker Michael Geiger, two princes of Motor City house, Delano Smith and Terrence Parker, and the princess of the local scene, DJ Minx. That's a lotta house. We like it. For fresh foreign flavors in a similar vibe, stick around for Space Dimension Controller from Ireland. He's just a kid, and has shared files with one of own kids, Kyle Hall, to whom he's been sort of compared.

More, more, more? OK. How about Richie Hawtin and team Minus, including Gaiser, Ambivalent, Marc Houle, Heartthrob, JPLS and bro Matthew Hawtin. Did we miss anybody? No, but the return of former Minus MVP Clark Warner, now based in Denver, should also be a tasty treat for discerning ears.

Paul Kalkbrenner, the subject of a recent acclaimed German film about a techno star, will be making his festival debut; and Venetian Snares, Richard Devine and Croatian electro wiz N-Ter should all bend (or break) a few circuits in expected raucous live appearances.

Friend and badass dance commander of extreme versatility, Detroit's Brian Gillespie, returns to the festival, as does Matt Abbott's Secrets, UR's Mark Flash and nospectacle (which, for purposes of full disclosure, includes your bleary-eyed blogger and columnist as a member), which last played the event in 2008. The group will be joined by friend and collaborator Markus Guentner (Kompakt, Ware, Sending Orbs), who played a solo DJ set at the 2006 festival. He's fab. One of the greatest of all ambient producers of the 00s. And he's fluent in techno and house on top of it all. Come one. come all. We'll be looking for you from the redesigned Underground Stage. Till then.
