Paxahau goes from Detroit passion project to 8 employees
People are dancing in the streets of Detroit because of Paxahau, and it’s not just because of the music as the company behind DEMF expands to eight people.
Paxahau is getting bigger and bigger and looks to become a big part of Detroit’s Creative Corridor project.
Excerpt:
Just about everyone who has worked for Paxahau over the years has started out as a volunteer for it in one way or another.
The electronic music promotion company started as a passion project for techno enthusiasts inspired by the raves in Detroit in the early 1990s. Today it throws parties centered around electronic music in Detroit, including the city’s biggest techno bash — Movement: The Detroit Electronic Music Festival.
