Detroit’s Movement Festival, which takes place in Hart Plaza over Memorial Day weekend, has announced its third and final phase of its lineup for the event’s 2013 edition. And Squarepusher, Moby, Magda, and Dubfire are all among the new names that have been added to the already extensive list.

Folks, we’ve got a lot of videos on deck for you in today’s news: a video portrait of Dennis Ferrer (which features a quick shot of Danny Tenaglia knockin’ back a Bud Light), a trailer for the new Watergate documentary, and a rather gorey Amon Tobin clip. So let’s get to it.
Richie Hawtin’s ENTER. residency at Space Ibiza has been a rousing success this summer—and it’s not even over yet. In fact, tonight’s installment of the weekly event takes place in conjunction with Luciano’s Cadenza night, and next week, Maya Jane Coles, Ambivalent, Marc Houle, Magda, and our own Clark Warner will take over the decks as the Ibizan summer slowly gives way to fall.
In our new feature series The Art of the Warm Up, we take some time to focus on one of the most important, but often overlooked, parts of any clubbing experience—the warm-up set. For our first edition, we speak to Troy Pierce of the renowned Items & Things label (which Pierce helms alongside techno veterans Magda and Marc Houle) and ask him to share with us the DJs he most enjoys opening for and some tips for budding mixmasters.
Ever since their amicable parting with the Minus label last year, all eyes have been on Magda, Marc Houle, and Troy Pierce to see how their new enterprise, Items & Things, would fare without the guidance of Richie Hawtin. And if the label’s first compilation, Variables, is any indication, the tutelage the three got under Hawtin was well received.
You probably caught the news a few weeks back that techno mastermind Richie Hawtin has got a few things up his sleeve for his 12-week-long summer takeover of Space Ibiza, entitled ENTER.
It’s a known fact in the DJ community that lossless files are the way to go if you’re looking to deliver the highest-quality sound to your audience. If you’re playing big-room soundsystems, festival PAs—heck, anything larger than your bedroom—lossless files are the only way to ensure top-quality audio without the sound degradation that is inherent in MP3 compression.
DJ extraordinaire Sander van Doorn prefers “playing lossless files only,” he says. “As I want to guarantee my fans the best audio experience for every set.” And he’s definitely not the only one. Loco Dice echoes the sentiment, saying, “I play lossless files because the format contains uncompressed audio, gives me the maximum audio quality, and doesn’t fail when I combine digital files and vinyl records.”
