That's what I assumed and I think everyone thought that Kevin would maybe relieve Derrick, that was open talk last year. It's a big sacrifice. But it sounds like something has gone down with the city. I think there was talk of touring Movement to places like Europe, Japan, etc, and I am wondering if that wouldn't increase its profile - the festival should be about Detroit and in Detroit - but it could be a good way to generate exposure and especially corporate interest. Maybe a Movement stage at Sonar? I don't know.
