Also joining this year as a media partner is the vastly popular, global online social networking site MySpace. Having grown over the previous years to become the largest online social network, MySpace is utilized by many artists and fans to connect and keep in touch with each other, adding an intimate element to the usual marketing channels. MySpace?s interest in working with the Movement Festival validates an already well known fact - Detroit?s Electronic Music Festival is an event that is continuing to grow and attract attention on a worldwide scale. "After the last two years of progress and reviews the festival is getting some well deserved attention," notes festival director Jason Huvaere, "there will be no question what?s happening in Detroit on Memorial Day weekend." In addition, this year?s event will increase the level of production regarding sound at the main stage and weather structures to protect attendees. Movement 08 will also bring back the underground stage, where Paxahau?s involvement in the festival began. "We have taken great measures to bring the production to an even higher level," says Mike Fotias, Movement Production Manager, "We understand that attendees come here expecting nothing but the best and we are determined to deliver." also there's this FREEP article http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080327/ENT04/803270434 MEK
