As Detroit gets ready to welcome thousands of electronic music fans for Movement Festival weekend, Shinola Hotel has announced a new collaboration with Detroit-born DJ and producer DJ Holographic to connect guests directly to the city’s musical legacy.
The partnership places Detroit’s sound and cultural influence at the center of the guest experience during one of the city’s most internationally recognized music weekends. Known for blending house, disco, techno, R&B, and Motown into emotionally layered sets, DJ Holographic has curated an exclusive playlist for the hotel that reflects both Detroit’s techno roots and her own genre-crossing artistic style.
During Movement weekend, the playlist will play throughout the property. It will transform the hotel into an immersive extension of the festival’s atmosphere. Guests can also stream the curated soundtrack during the weekend. They can listen directly from their rooms using in-room Bluetooth speakers.
For DJ Holographic, whose work often merges music, sensuality, and spiritual themes, the collaboration goes beyond simply creating a playlist. The sonic experience is designed to evoke the feeling and emotional texture of Detroit itself — layered, soulful, and deeply connected to movement and memory.
The collaboration arrives as Detroit once again prepares to host Movement Festival, the internationally recognized electronic music celebration held annually in the birthplace of techno. Over the years, Movement has become more than a festival for Detroit. It is a cultural homecoming that draws artists, DJs, and music lovers from around the world while spotlighting the city’s enduring influence on global electronic music.
By partnering with a Detroit-born artist whose sound embodies both experimentation and nostalgia, Shinola Hotel is tapping into the spirit of the weekend in a way that feels intentionally local. Rather than simply hosting festival visitors, the hotel invites guests to be part of an environment rooted in Detroit’s creative identity and musical history—immerse yourself in the curated sounds and let the city’s music become part of your own Movement experience.
DJ Holographic continues to emerge as one of the city’s most distinctive contemporary voices within electronic music. This collaboration offers guests an opportunity to experience Detroit’s sound through the perspective of an artist deeply connected to the city’s rhythm, culture, and evolution.
