Through the initial creation of an online home for the music Paxahau is impassioned for, the company showed early signs of devotion for electronic sounds.

Shifting focus to develop event production, Paxahau began to steer direction Movement Festival in 2006 in Hart Plaza, becoming the festivals producers for over ten years. An annual event showcasing classic and emerging underground dance music, the Movement Festival has developed and grown wildly with Paxahau behind the scenes. The company also engages in booking and promotions, in addition to their production expertise.

The party doesn’t stop with the Movement Festival- as the company works year round to curate and produce over 40 events per year, enticing more fun for its enormous fan base.
