You are receiving this email because your name was given as a respected member of the music or art community in Detroit and abroad. The attempted dismissal of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival [DEMF] creative Director, Carl Craig by Festival producer, Carol Marvin/Pop Culture Media has been a matter of great concern for those of us involved in the Detroit Electronic Music Community. This firing is untimely, unwarranted and down right malicious. For years, Detroits world-famous music has remained virtually unknown in its own hometown. Due to the creative vision of Mr. Carl Craig, all of that changed last year. The massive success of the DEMF brought the attention back to Detroit and Detroits music was heard around the World!! http://www.detroitnews.com/2001/entertainment/0105/16/a01-224860.htm http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=1808 This take-over by Pop Culture Media will destroy what so many people have worked so hard to create and support. This is just history repeating itself....artists have always been at the forefront of society, moving us in to the future...it is only a matter of time....greedy big business steals what weve created. As artists, musicians, media and record industry people, we must stand up voice our opinions. We strongly urge you to take a few moments to write your thoughts and direct them to the people that NEED to know. Feel free to paraphrase from this letter, or draft another, but let your voice be heard!!
