RA MAGAZINE'S "ORAL HISTORY OF DETROIT'S ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL"

Just in time for Detroit's upcoming annual Movement music festival comes a splendid "Oral History of Detroit's Electronic Music Festival" from Resident Advisor, which bills itself as "the leading online electronic music magazine."

It's a pretty excellent piece, featuring comments from a large assortment of talking heads, including superstar DJ/producers like Kevin Saunderson and Richie Hawtin, local scribes such as MT's own Walter Wasacz and Carleton Gholz and the Freep's Brian McCollum...and even former Detroit mayor Dennis Archer.
