A Current halcyon Who's-Who

Taimur Ahga (Blk|Market Membership/Cheap Sunglasses)
House and Techno
One of NYC's most active minimal techno DJs and promoters, Taimur is a major force shaping the scene. His deep DJ sets are a late night staple in NYC's underground. With partner Fahad, he has helmed the Blk|market Membership parties for over two years, producing over 50 events that have hosted some of techno's biggest names and brightest up-and-comers at locales like cielo, bar 13 and L.O.V.E. In cahoots with Crazy Larry, Taimur also produces the Cheap Sunglasses parties, which have become instant impact events at major techno nodes such as the Winter Music Conference, Detroit Electronic Music Festival and San Fran's Love Parade. In 2009, look out for Cheap Sunglasses, the label...
