I was going to write in detail about this moment, but found a YouTube video that will do the job better. This is DJ ZTrip paying homage to all that is Detroit, all the sounds that allowed everyone who performed at Movement, (including the douchebag who kept shouting "Chi-Town") to do what they do.

Hip-hop beats with drum kicks at Techno bass frequencies, scratching samples, Plastikman’s infamous Pakard track overlaid, LL Cool J mixed in, and some things that unfortunately don’t make the video: scratching that turns into pure noise and sounds like the wind, mixing in a lone "De Troit" that repeats, echos, fades and comes back; this was an pure and absolute Detroit moment; the sounds would simply not make sense in another space, and would certainly not be the final peak of a DJ set; an homage that deserves homage.

I was nearly in tears. For the rest of the festival, if a DJ didn’t make a gesture to acknowledge Detroit, to acknowledge that this post industrial wasteland gave birth to their sounds, he could fuck off.
