Lazer Sword is the duo of San Francisco-based LOW LIMIT and LANDO KAL. “We like to make music that sounds like your favorite top 40 rap shit chopped up into a tornado filled with razor blades and molasses, or maybe like Frank Zappa rocking the home made Lil John tank-top at the rooftop party!”

The Milwaukee-based producer Lorn was first discovered 8 years or so ago on scratch message boards where people would eagerly swap his beats. Now he has become the first non L.A-based artist to be signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label. There he’ll be releasing his first official album, Nothing Else, in early June. When I found out Brainfeeder was releasing the album last year it all somehow made sense. Lorn’s album was the perfect way to link the scene’s current state back to those early years of experimentation that so few people know about.

Stan Chisholm (a.k.a. 18andCounting) is an emerging interdisciplinary artist from St. Louis who studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His drawings, paintings and mixed media installations reveal a growing cast of over 700 characters or mascots that serve as a visual lexicon for the moods, personal attributes or feelings explored in his work. Chisholm’s work has been exhibited at Laumeier Sculpture Park, City Museum & the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis, and most recently with a solo exhibition at The Hyde Park Art Center. His DJ sets encompass a wide array of music samples but it’s always danceable. It’s his birthday, so show the kid some love! He’s one of most motivated and accomplished local artists you’ll ever meet.
