Greetings Detroit Electronic Music fans and supporters,
As most of you may already be aware, Paxahau has been in discussions to
produce this year’s electronic music festival in Hart Plaza on Memorial
Day weekend. Everyone is very aware of the time constraints that once
again envelop the production of this event. It is our sincere desire and
mission to provide Detroit, its supporters and cultural enthusiasts with
a festival that represents ALL aspects and genres of electronic music
from around the globe and here at home.
Because of this we are extending an open ear from all of us this evening
at Oslo between 11 pm and 1 am to provide anyone who comes with an
opportunity to present opinions and input regarding format and to
discuss any involvement they may be able to offer. Our goal is to
provide the electronic music community and all who visit Detroit with a
festival that is as diverse as the music culture that brings us all
together in clubs all over the world, every weekend. We realize this is
short notice but we have a very limited amount of time before our final
presentation to the City and sponsors and we want to be able to
represent the contributing members of Detroit’s electronic music community.
Please understand that for this specific weekend Paxahau is not in the
business of promoting or producing ONE type of music - this festival
belongs to ALL of electronic music and its supporters. Because of this
we are enthusiastically encouraging all of YOU to come and speak with us
tonight to discuss the representation you would like to see, or can
bring to the table. Please be prepared to give us a “who you are / what
you can represent / how we can reach you” breakdown.
Help us make this festival what it was always meant to be.
Sincere Regards,
Paxahau
