PARTIAL LINEUP RELEASED - www.demf.com

DETROIT- Just three weeks following their selection by the City of Detroit to produce Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival in 2006, Paxahau Promotions Group today announced Chrysler Jeep Superstores and Motor City Dodge Dealers as the event’s title sponsors, revealed a lineup of artists and confirmed that Hart Plaza will remain home to the international event slated for May 27-29.

“Our entire team has been working tirelessly to create a festival that truly represents and celebrates electronic music, and at the same time is a financially sound and viable event,” said Jason Huvaere, Paxahau’s Managing Director.

“We are thrilled to have Chrysler Jeep Superstores and Motor City Dodge Dealers on board as our title sponsors,” said Huvaere. “They understand that the festival is part of the cultural fabric of Detroit, and they see its significance internationally and within the electronic music community. We look forward to a longstanding relationship with these organizations.”

City of Detroit Chief Administrative Officer Lucius Vassar commended Chrysler Jeep Superstores and Motor City Dodge Dealers for their support of the event, saying “It’s good to see these two business associations that are a part of Detroit’s automotive heritage partnering with an event that has emerged from our city’s rich music and cultural heritage.”

“I commend Chrysler Jeep Superstores and Motor City Dodge Dealers for recognizing the value an event like Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival adds to the cultural and tourism development of a city. With these types of partnerships in place, I expect the event to flourish and continue to draw people from all over the world here to Detroit,” said Vassar.

After carefully examining several festival venue options, Paxahau today announced the 2006 event will remain in Downtown Detroit’s Hart Plaza. “We considered several venue options in order to really determine the best location for the event, for fans, and for the City of Detroit,” said Huvaere. “When it comes to infrastructure and ambience, it’s tough to beat Hart Plaza.”
