About Author: Taimur Agha

Description
Like the eye of a storm, Taimur Agha sits calmly at the center of NYC's torrential Techno scene. His ace event production outfit BLK|Market Membership consistently bills the world's top DJ talent, earning them New York Magazine's pick for "Best All Night Party" in the city. Serving as creative director for the new club District 36, head House and Techno buyer for halcyon and resident DJ (along with partner Fahad,) for both BLK|Market and D36, Taimur's refined music sensibility sets the scene's bar for proper underground sounds.
