I just saw an article about the Detroit Techno Exhibit in BPM magazine - I
was tempted to pick up the issue but then I saw the headlining paragraph
saying (paraphrased here) that techno music hasn't been played in a museum
for at least 10 years or so. I had to wonder what rock the writer has been
living under...
I decided to put my money into a parking meter instead.

Hi there.
Usually I don't post unless I'm being extremely sarcastic, cynical, bitter
or all of the above. But for a refreshing change of pace, I'd like to send
out this promotion.
While he's really not known to many around the world as a prominent techno
figure, Tim Price has been the central nervous system of countless
important
events that have been thrown in Detroit, and was crucial to the success of
the first D_MF. I'm sure if you've been around long enough in the scene
you've heard his name uttered once or twice, but Tim likes to stay in the
background about things and just do what he does best: throw killer events
and make a difference. He's a figurehead in the Detroit electronic music
community, but like the best of them...he's rarely seen or heard.
He's worked with several record labels in the area. Plus 8, M_nus, KMS,
Planet E, and many others all have benefitted by Tim's hard work ethic,
unrivaled spirit and tireless dedication to the music scene. He's also
thrown events for a multitude of charitable causes; dedicating his time and
efforts when he could be producing something that could turn him a quick
profit. And on a more personal note, he's one of three people I consider a
true mentor, and I'm sure a few other people on here can testify to his
influence.
Well, to sum this all up nicely... Tim is going to be participating in a
panel workshop/lecture this Saturday in conjunction with the Detroit
Historical Museum's Techno exhibit. The topics will be a broad range of
things involving the record industry. I don't know much more specifics than
this, but it's a good chance and a rare opportunity to see Tim talk about
what he does best.
The Detroit Historical Museum is located in Detroit's Cultural Center, on
Woodward Avenue at Kirby, two blocks North of Warren.
