Carol Marvin and Detroit Electronic Music Festival plan free festival for July 4th 2014
Early this morning during a press conference held at Ford Field in Detroit, Carol Marvin, one of the original producer's of the now defunct Detroit Electronic Music Festival, announced the brand's return to the birthplace of techno this coming summer. Not to be confused with Movement, the festival oftentimes fondly referred to as DEMF, Marvin's festival plans to lay its foundation at Campus Martius Park in Detroit over the July 4th weekend -- directly competing with nearby Wavefront held the same weekend. According to Marvin; “A city like Detroit should arguably have 10 electronic music festivals, and this will be one of them," noting that the festival will be completely free, much the same way the original was when it began in 2000.
