Detroit’s Movement Festival won’t kickoff until this summer when 115 techno acts take over the Music City, but there’s a warm up happening in St. Petersburg this weekend.

Mioner Agency founder Crystal Mioner blows in from Detroit under the DJ Etta moniker which she uses to deploy homages to her home city’s rich tradition in creating body music that really goes beyond techno by incorporating progressive sounds of jazz and more.

Tickets to the Official Movement Pre-Party on Saturday, March 8 at Suite E Studios in St. Petersburg are still on sale and start at $10.
