About ELEMENTS
ELEMENTS is a workshop series for intermediate to advanced-level DJs and producers in Detroit and Metro Detroit. The workshop is produced by Underground Music Academy and Paxahau with support from the Detroit Techno Foundation.
The program started from a conversation between UMA and Paxahau about how to support artists working through the realities of creative development. ELEMENTS ‘26 is the program’s third year.
ELEMENTS starts from the idea that no artist’s growth follows a straight line. Instead of a one-size-fits-all formula, each session builds the knowledge, discipline and practical skills artists need to make informed choices about their own path, with cultural context, intentionality, pride and consideration.
