Hope to see some of you down at the fest!

Still deciding how much I’ll be taking in this year, but damn if I’m not nostalgic as hell looking back over nine years of photos. I am humbled by the existence of this festival (in one form or another) over a full decade. Respect to anyone who has played, visited, danced, sang or sold falafel […]

Re-reading our assessment of Movement 2008, I narrowed in on the overall feeling that was nagging me for the last three or four days. It was the sense that the event didn’t extend beyond the perimeter of Hart Plaza. A lot of my regular peeps didn’t make it out this year, and there was a […]

reporting: d.w. and seek
Hello there Paxahau.
We had a great time at Movement 2008. In fact, this may be the most we’ve soaked up in one festival (no after-afterparty recovery time for us helped a bit this year).
After you’ve recovered and done your own post-mortems, here are some things to consider as you begin planning the […]

Cobblestone Jazz from Dan Sicko on Vimeo.
One of the highlights for me was getting to watch the entire Cobblestone Jazz set. Daniel Bell included their song “The Fifth Element” on his mix, The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back in 2003. I’ve been seeking out their releases ever since. I would love demand to see more acts […]

This was techno at its most sound sculpted/rendered/projected best. What a great way to close out Movement ‘08 — shame the rain shooed away some of the crowd. The main […]

So I was locked into the chaos that was the Girl Talk set. It was very fun, but hard to see the man and what he might be doing besides gradually […]

Exactly what we like to see.
I think I got to the festival too early today. Instead of the “Wow, last night was great, I want to soak up more” […]

Batteries charged. Swag stowed. Accessories carefully chosen.
Yes, it’s time for some Day 2.

Dad used to torture us. In a good way.
We were lucky enough to have a Dad who wanted to listen to WJLB in the early ’80s (where else was he going to hear Kraftwerk?). That meant a lot of Ice-T and the Glove (whoa, lost DJ file!), Run DMC, and yes, Newcleus and Egyptian Lover.
So […]
