For the third straight year, “OK, Cool!” celebrated all things cool about Detroit and the Movement Electronic Music Festival with a lengthy after party event at TV Lounge. Immediately following the conclusion of Sunday’s Movement schedule, fans hungry for more music came out in droves to the iconic TV Lounge for nearly 12 hours of indoor and outdoor performances. The weather was cooperative as well, so the large crowd filled not only the indoor space of TV Lounge, but the large outdoor patio spaces and alleyway, creating a huge gathering of like-minded excited late nighters.
With a strong lineup curated by Dax Presents and My Baby (which includes members of TV Lounge residents Ataxia), attendees enjoyed constant beats of the highest quality right from the outset at 9pm with a 90 minute set from Washington D.C.’s Navbox on the outdoor patio. Indoors, Smartbar Chicago resident DJ and Hugo Ball fixture, Sevron, warmed up the crowd before OK, Cool! Promoter Dax Lee took over for the first post-midnight session. Concurrently, Germany’s Move D brought his Euro-based deep techno grooves to a rabid crew of fans outside enjoying the comfortable hoodie weather.
The big draw of the night and Detroit native, Seth Troxler, followed next with a huge set that got the party firing on all cylinders out on the spacious patio. With this exclusive afterhours performance, Troxler was clearly comfortable and at his finest, leaning in to provide a textured mosaic of techno sounds influenced by his many years of playing epic sets during the Movement weekend.
Those choosing to play through were treated to plenty more music beyond sunrise from Life and Death record label founder DJ Tennis, Brooklyn’s Verboten resident Andrew Vogt and TV Lounge regular Ataxia. As the final notes sounded in the early morning and the satisfied crowd slid out into the Detroit morning for the closing day of Movement Detroit, vibes were definitely OK and very cool!
