The People Under the Stage, and Other Weirdness at Movement 2014

Movement is America’s premiere three-day festival primarily devoted to the hard slogging techno beats. Attracting fans of 120 BPM music and upwards from around the world, the weather on Memorial Day is typically spectacular. Standout aural magic was provided at six different stages from the likes of John Digweed, Seth Troxler, the Martinez Bros, Carl Cox, Claude Von Stroke, Dixon, Jeff Mills and over 160 others.

THUMP had the opportunity to catch all the wild outfits and happenings on the grounds of Hart Plaza. And as they say, variety is the spice of life, as far as festival photos go at least…

Umm yeah… don’t even think about it.

You know it’s a good sign when this guy shows up at your party.

Choose the blue pill or the red pill? Wow, those Matrix sequels have really gotten out of hand.

More important than WWJD, where the hell is that guy??

Talk about Motor City, the parking lot was HUGE!

Possibly the fastest way across the border.

Lederhosen and techno go hand in hand.

Daaaaaamn!

DOUBLE DAMN! Perverts row, Movement style. Dozen took snaps while they shook their butts to Kode9’s footwork and juke set.

Yes, a Bucket o’ Fries is just what I needed for my parched throat. Went perfectly with the deep fried chicken on a stick.
