ISP Technologies, LLC helps MOVEMENT 08 CELEBRATE THE ENERGY, INNOVATION AND CULTURE OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND MAY 24-26, 2008 AT HART PLAZA Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit's Electronic Music Festival has become one of the most highly anticipated annual events for electronic music fans in Detroit and across the globe. And Movement 08 - coming May 24-26 at Detroit's Hart Plaza - is no exception. With an unprecedented lineup of artists and numerous new elements, Movement 08 promises to be the most exciting, entertaining and innovative festival yet.

"Our philosophy for producing Detroit's Electronic Music Festival is grounded in our company's mission, to accelerate and accentuate all the best of what Detroit has to offer the world, and that includes: artists, events, destinations, and all forms of cultural enrichment," said Jason Huvaere, Paxahau Promotions Group, which has produced this festival since 2006. "That also includes making improvements to the festival year after year, to help it grow and spread the excitement of the electronic music culture to people across the area and around the world."

Much of the anticipation surrounding Movement 08 is being generated by one of the strongest lineups the festival has had in its history. This year's roster of performers includes Moby, Benny Benassi, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Deadmau5, James Zabiela, Dubfire, and critically acclaimed artists such as Marco Carola, Peanut Butter Wolf and Cobblestone Jazz. Although Paxahau actively heralds Detroit's heritage as the birthplace of techno, the company also experiences the talent from other cities, such as Miami and Berlin, to bring artists from every corner of the world to Movement.

Between the excitement of the Festival and the number of artists who want to participate, Paxahau, producers of Movement 08 – Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival, announces the addition of a fifth stage. Paxahau approached ISP Technologies, LLC regarding outfitting the 5th stage with some of their top end pro audio gear.

ISP Technologies, LLC is a Michigan based manufacturing company specializing in innovative high-end professional audio sound-reinforcement gear utilizing proprietary patented power amp technology. Fidelity, clarity and mid-range are the hallmarks of the powered cabinets that ISP Technologies both designs and custom builds for live and installation use. Rapidly becoming one of the industry standards, ISP Technologies builds every cabinet, including electronics, in the USA.

“ISP Technologies is excited to help make the 5th stage a possibility by providing our new High Definition Line Array System HDL4210 for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. We are glad to help make this local Detroit event even more successful by providing the 5th stage with a made in Michigan Line Array system,” said Buck Waller, CEO, ISP Technologies, LLC. “Being involved in the DEMF music scene is a great opportunity to showcase our made in Michigan gear not only on a local level, but internationally as well,” he continued.

ISP Technologies, LLC is supplying 20 High Definition Line patent pending Line Array boxes, 18 XMAX 212 subwoofers, and for the DJ on the stage, a “Texas Headset” consisting of 2 High Definition 212 Monitors and 2 XMAX 118 subwoofers.   The Line Arrays and Subwoofers were positioned at the edges of the tent, pointing inwards to give the audience a truly heart pounding experience.  Another ground stackable line array system by ISP Technologies, the Mongoose, was positioned on the edges of the tent pointing out at the overflow. 

When Grammy winner headliner Bennie Benassi took the stage on Saturday night, the ISP Technologies stage was packed beyond belief.  Security had to be called in to keep the people from climbing on the stacks of subwoofers for even more bone jarring bass.  The general consensus of the crowds was that the ISP Technologies stage had the best sounding gear of the 5 stages, including sounding better than the Nexxo and Meyer rigs.  ISP Technologies is definitely running with the big names.  For more information on the HDL 4210 Line Arrays, the XMAX 212 Subwoofers, the Mongoose system or any ISP Technologies gear, contact ISP at 248-673-7790, email sales@isptechnologies.com or visit www.isptechnologies.com.

ISP Technologies, LLC would also like to acknowledge and thank two of their local Michigan Contractors for their help with the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.  Audio Visual One located in Michigan Center, Michigan and Iginited Light & Sound located in Clinton Township, Michigan.  Both companies do installation and live sound production.  Calvin Williams of Audio Visual One can be contacted at 517-748-9300 or email av1calvin@sbcglobal.net.  Kevin Kuptz of Ignited Sound and Light can be contacted at 586-463-6124 or email kkuptz@ignitedlightandsound.com.
