Derrick May and Juan Atkins will play the seventh edition of Detroit’s Backpack Music Festival next month – an event organised by legendary techno collective Underground Resistance alongside Serendipity, Collage and Potpourri (SCP), a local non-profit organisation helping supply backpacks and school resources to disadvantaged students.
May and Atkins are joined by Eddie ‘Flashin’’ Fowlkes and Rick Wilhite, as well as Underground Resistance members including DJ Skurge and John Collins.
The festival, running August 4-5 at Detroit’s New Center Park, also includes art exhibitions, with work by Jeff Mills and Mad Mike, and is accompanied by the release of a limited edition compilation. Revellers with backpacks earn themselves a discount.
