Paxahau has announced more than 50 of the artists set to perform this May at Movement 2010.

So far, many of the festival's most titillating acts will be performing live. Richie Hawtin will play as Plastikman for the first time in Detroit since 1994, headlining the festival with Model 500 and Kevin Saunderson's duo Inner City. Detroit pioneers Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin will deliver live sets as well.

Other notable names include DJ Koze, Martyn, Michael Mayer and Radio Slave. Basic Channel member Mark Ernestus will also make an appearance, along with fellow German acts Scion, Martin Buttrich and Chris Liebing. Magda and Paco Osuna will bring their signature minimal techno sound, while Agoria, Italoboyz and Onur Özer provide some minimal house grooves. Chicago house legend DJ Pierre has also been billed, as well as Larry Heard, Claude VonStroke, DJ Sneak, Jamie Jones and Ovum boss Josh Wink. And as always, the festival will include a healthy swath of Detroit mainstays, including Theo Parrish, Rick Wilhite, DJ Rolando and Anthony 'Shake' Shakir, plus new school jocks like Luke Hess and Kyle Hall.

Movement 2010 will also feature plenty of acts from outside the house and techno zeitgeist, such as A-Trak, Kid Sister and Simian Mobile Disco. British beat scientist Hudson Mohawke will lay down some of his explosive day-glo rhythms, and Detroit hip-hop artists Guilty Simpson and Phat Kat will perform with local funk group Will Sessions.

Check out the RA event pages for the rest of the preliminary lineup, and stay tuned in the weeks ahead as additional acts are confirmed. If you're in Detroit and can't wait until May, Movement will be having a little kick-off event this Saturday with Loco Dice, Martin Buttrich, Livio & Roby at Reliv.
