Doors 7:30pm / Show 8pm / Ages 18+ / Guys $10 – Ladies $7 ($3 surcharge for under 21)
Boris Gladkikh aka Gladkill has been on a meteoric rise in the electronic music scene since
he first began playing live in 2009. Through his tremendous work ethic and tireless touring
schedule, Gladkill has already played for massive audiences on the stages of large-scale music
festivals such as Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Earthdance and Burning Man, winning over
new fans with every stop.
Originally hailing from NYC, Gladkill now resides in Los Angeles and is part of Headtron, where
the versatile young producer’s music fits perfectly alongside the other talented artists that
make up the collective. Refusing to stick to the comfort of making one style of music, Gladkill
has rewarded audiences through the sheer diversity of his songs, as he deftly moves between
dominating dance floors with his sexy, crunked-out club bangers, as well as captivating home
stereo speakers with more downtempo and melodic material.
Following up on the success of 2010’s Ghostwork and 2011’s Lovelost, he has continued to hone
his production skills by consistently creating fresh original material for his genre-smashing live
sets, which will culminate with his debut artist album due in 2012. With a heavier emphasis on
songwriting and song structure, Gladkill is aiming to make music that will stand the test of time.
When you listen to Gladkill’s songs or see him perform, you’ll discover an artist set apart
between the sheets of cool bass lines and ethereal melodies. In an era where disposable dance
music is big business, Gladkill makes anything but.

on all cylinders, combining a gritty/funky feel reminiscent of early J.B.’s mixed with
the gospel/soul sound of a young Donny Hathaway. Touring as DeRobert & the
Half Truths, the group has headlined funk/soul dance parties for Dig Deeper DJs in
Brooklyn and Soul Summit DJs in Chicago. Thanks to Loyal Family and The Hustle
& Soul City DJ’s, the group is coming back to St. Louis for another unforgettable live

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE:
Consisting of rapper/singer/songwriter Phonte and producer Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through Instant Messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) completed their debut album before they ever met each other in person. The album, “Connected,” was released in 2004 to positive reviews, and was praised by legendary DJ’s such as Jazzy Jeff, King Britt, and DJ Spinna for its inventive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica.
Their sophomore album, “Leave It All Behind” (2008) found The Foreign Exchange much closer in geography (Nicolay becoming a resident of Wilmington, NC), but located much further from their hip-hop origins. On the strength of their exhilarating live show and several nationally programmed music videos, “Leave It All Behind” became the group’s most successful album to date, culminating in a Grammy-nomination for the album’s first single, “Daykeeper”.
“Authenticity,” released on October 12, 2010 on +FE Music, is The Foreign Exchange’s third album.

Applying a multi-track platform, they are free to create their hybrid style on the fly with a rhythm that moves fans and opens them up to Godchaux and Randolph’s overall vision.

18+ / $10 (NO surcharge for under 21)
Brooklyn-based producer Eliot Lipp – a versatile talent respected in the competitive world of electronic music by being equally at ease with pushing forth the latest production techniques as well as with the time-honored – releases his latest recording, How We Do: Moves Made, on his own Old Tacoma Records imprint.
How We Do: Moves Made is borne out of a longtime friendship between Eliot Lipp and Jasia 10, and hearkens back to when they were kids, digging for grooves at House of Records in Tacoma, a meeting point that happened to be halfway between each of their childhood homes. They waded through countless stacks of obscure records in search of that one best moment to swipe and loop into a hip-hop beat, learning a lot about jazz, funk, G-funk, and other pillage-worthy sounds along the way.
Lipp’s seven-year strong discography includes releases for the Eastern Developments, Hefty, Metatronix, and Mush labels as well as his own label Old Tacoma Records, named after his hometown. Unlike the typical Old Tacoma release, which atypically pushes forth future frontiers with artists Dark Party, Leo 123, Mike Bubbles, and Sir Charles, as well the label’s next release from Samples, How We Do: Moves Made exists in its own reminiscent funked-out space.

BASS SCIENCE
(Made In Glitch / 1320Rec)
Bass Science started in the summer of 2007 as 2-man Live P.A., making Dub-hop / Glitch step
bass music. Bass Science fuses dubstep, glitch hop, IDM and dub into a fresh new sound that
is simultaneously filthy and extremely clean. In less than a year since their inception, they have
created a prolific body of work and electrified dance floors across the globe: call it glitchstep,
call it dubhop, call it what you will, Bass Science’s hybrid sounds are generating a cabinet-
rattling buzz. In the past 2 years they’ve dazzled crowds at seminal festivals and clubs from
UK’s Glade to LA’s Low End Theory, with globetrotting gigs spanning Asia, Europe and the US
and sharing stages with STS9, Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Eliot Lipp, and more. Bass Science’s
tracks, meanwhile, have received enthusiastic support from influential DJs like the BBC’s Mary
Anne Hobbs and Annie Nightingale, Resonance FM’s Nick Luscombe, with regular rotation on
Dubstep.FM.
‘Out Of Step EP on 1320Records was released just before the summer and confirmed releases
and remixes on Seclusiasis
(Starkey, Kastle), Daly City Records (Mochipet), Robox Neotech
(NastyNasty, Doshy), Car Crash Set for the rest of 2011 as well as a full lenght album to be
released in the Fall.

The Infernal Method
“But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do, by printing in the infernal method…”
An art form whose roots lie in the notion of spreading ideas to the masses, and now accrediting to its more alternative approach to the art world, printmaking is on a contemporary resurgence.
Inspired by the esoteric symbolism of William Blake, THE INFERNAL METHOD is an exhibition showcasing a body of work by printmakers from across the United States that rely on the use of symbolism. Each piece selected has been chosen for its indistinct mystical representation. Some obscure and some direct, the viewer is invited to engage in the inspirations and admiration of this classic media.
Art Dimensions in honored to invite you to share in the gathering of works from these established and cutting edge artists. Accompanying the event will be live printing, prints for sale, and a very special in-gallery performance by local metal sensations Fister and RFT award winning best metal act, The Lion’s Daughter.

Euforquestra is a seven-member unit that relocated to Fort Collins, CO in Summer 2008 after spending five years in Iowa City, IA. The band’s own brand of High Intensity Global Dance Music is a percussion and horn driven blend of modern music that fuses afrobeat, reggae, dub, funk, rock, soca and highlife with traditional sounds from Cuba, Brazil, West Africa and beyond. This is cutting edge music that ignites dance floors across the country with a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss” (Chris M. Slawecki; www.allaboutjazz.com).
Spankalicious is psychedelic bounce music. Making his mark on the electronic music scene in the Midwest with the high energy that he brings to the stage, creating the vibe needed to get the rage started! Kevin Moore (aka: Spankalicious) is currently based out of St. Louis, Missouri. Coming from an extensive background in rudimental percussion/drumming has allowed Spank to read rhythms inside and out. Shown through scratching, drumming, as well as seamlessly blending and mixing. Spankalicious thrives on taking the crowd through a musical journey that always brings many flavors of emotion to the party.

8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $20 ($5 minor surcharge) >> Buy Tickets
edIT, Ooah, and Boreta are The Glitch Mob, the straight crunkest bunch of music masters this side of oblivion; their sets of the dirtiest, stickiest, nastiest, most insane bass licks make dancers’ brains explode.
The Glitch Mob is dropping the filthy sounds of the future up and down the West Coast and around the globe, crunking out crowds left and right and conquering the bodies of all who stumble into the insane dance riot that is a Glitch Mob show. The boys have pulled music out of the headphones and put the emphasis back on the live musical experience, and the community that is created from the energy on the dance floor goes absolutely freaking bananas to their obese bass licks and cut-up vocals. You walk off the dance floor at a Glitch Mob show transformed; their music serves the social function of unification through movement, and there is no going back.
Defying all categorization and forcing writers to make up new words, the Glitch Mob rejects traditional instrumentation and instead relies on robotic bleeps, mechanical clicks and scratches, erroneously produced noises never found in nature and an army of bass, often overlaid with gritty and organic rap lyrics. Their original beats slam down as the sounds of the future; their music symbolizes the failure of technology and the debunking of the modern myth that progress will save us all. Progress won’t save us- but dancing just might.
We are proud to announce that our remix of Daft Punk’s Derezzed hits streets today! It’s the lead track from TRON: R3CONFIGUR3D, a collection of TRON: Legacy soundtrack remixes also featuring cuts from M83, Pretty Lights, Boys Noize, The Crystal Method, Photek, Com Truise and more.

PLUS – Big Brother Thunder & The Masterblasters (featuring members of JNeuro Experiment). Big Brother Thunder blends funk, rock, jazz and soul by pulling from African, Caribbean and Brazilian styles and rhythms. Creating an inescapably danceable band. Combining the tastes and talents of band leaders Drew Franklin (bass), Gabe Bonfili (drums) and Jeff Burns (percussion), Big Brother Thunder creates soul-moving, foot-stomping world beats while mixing in tastes of home. The inspired, philosophical rhymes of St. Louis’s own MC TROY, the edgy tinge of organist Kent Jones, guitarist Craig Florez and the masterful horns of the MasterBlasters complete the experience.
This is the first of many great funk and soul revues to come, thanks for supporting the good stuff!

Doors 1pm-1am / Show 1pm / All Ages until 8pm then 21+ / $10
Black Pistol Fire is a Rock and Roll duo originally from Toronto, Canada now based out of Austin, Texas. Their sound has been described as a mix of classic southern rock and garage punk. Comparisons span many sub-genres and eras. They are most often compared to early Kings of Leon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Keys, and Clutch.
URIZEN is an electronic-influenced avante-garde heavy metal band based in Ft. Worth, Texas. Well known for their entertaining and highly involved stage shows, featuring the band dressed in full red-and-white armor-style space suits. Other features of their stage show include the appearance of a giant, 8-foot-tall URIZEN Robot; a 12-foot inflatable cycloptic goo monster; a custom-created silicone conjoined twin creature; and much more! URIZEN’s musical style employs the use of heavy, distorted guitars; frantic, speedy drums; and clean, rock-style vocals. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of URIZEN’s sound is the dominant presence of synth and keyboards, specifically the use of orchestral strings and 8-bit Nintendo-style electronic sounds. This alone is worth $10, seriously!
We are making big improvements to 2720 Cherokee to better your experience, this is a fundraiser for some big bills we have for current projects such as the new back patio, basement gallery and upgrades to the front of our building including local art and lighting. Thank you for your support, with a little help from our friends we will continue to build this outlet for artistic expression and positive vibrations.
Fri 6.24 – Dirtfoot (Shreveport LA) + Treehouse
Gypsy Punk / Grumble Boogie / Foot-Stompin / Folk / Rock
Doors 8pm / Show 9pm / 21+ / $10
Eight years ago, a tornado blew through Shreveport and Matt was standing on his porch, shortly after a tree decided to test the landlord’s homeowner’s policy. J walking by, initiated conversation and amidst cracked countertops and scattered shingles, the two musicians became friends.
It’s more than a bit ironic that a powerful, hard-to-predict weather system marks the creation of Dirtfoot. Their music can be as dizzying as a twister, volatile and uproarious.
It is their lack of restraint, their raw musical impulsiveness and high energy delivery that can be so arresting to the people who have heard them play. They stomp their feet. Matt makes primal noises and intentionally mumbles his lyrics. They let otherwise well-rehearsed songs meander off the beaten path, or right off an auditory cliff, its finale laughably lost, the structure sacrificed for the sheer playfulness of it all.
The members of Dirtfoot seem to all secretly delight in how different they are, in how something so oddball and outlandish can still be appreciated, if not entirely understood.
Though all of their instruments are acoustic, their energy and ingenuity will make you swear they are using something else. Featuring instruments ranging from an acoustic guitar, banjo, upright bass, pots n’ pans, drums, bells, saxophone, and beancan shakers, this band has a truly engaging and eclectic sound! They are a delicious, spicy, dirty band that will make you stomp your feet, shake your ass and yell like a lunatic on a full moon night.

Fri 6.10 – Chicago Afrobeat Project
Afrobeat / Funk / Worldbeat
Doors 8pm / Show 9pm / 21+ / $10
Afrobeat cannot stand still. As the genre’s tempting sounds continue a resurgence across the globe, Chicago Afrobeat Project (CAbP) remains true to its original vision of breathing the intensity of Chicago’s rich music scene into the infectious sounds of afrobeat. Rather than become caricatures of the genre, CAbP slips a reverent nod to the tradition while delivering an energized originality different from any other band on the afrobeat scene today. At each of its 100+ live performances a year, the group’s frenzied songs hit audiences with a big enough one-two punch to tirelessly knock them onto the dance floor time and time again.
Afrobeat’s range of influences — funk, rock, jazz, afro-cuban, high life and juju music – settle into a hypnotic, dance-compelling pulse at the core of CAbP. The group layers a fiery originality around this core through high-energy rock and experimental jazz. The trance-like grooves that hold the floor in the tradition are pushed to new borders in CAbP’s second and self-produced album, (A) Move to Silent Unrest. In it, the group keeps true to the mix of respect to the tradition and forward-thinking experimentation that shine through in their live performances.
Join the dance party!

McTuff (Seattle) + Mikey Wehling
“Post Jazz Fest Decompression Tour”
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $5
Hammond organist, Joe Doria brings together some of the areas finest with “McTuff”!
Joe Doria, Andy Coe, and D’Vonne Lewis, a few of the best from Seattle’s incredible music scene, come together to create a powerful and jaw-dropping take on a soul jazz trio like you’ve never heard.
What began as an ode to some of the organ greats in soul jazz, such as delivering their own take on the works of Jimmy Smith and Captain Jack McDuff, soon turned into something more. A movement towards being a band that can appeal to almost any audience, room, and vibe. Melody, dynamics, and groove…from the soft and surreal to deep funk. From swinging soul…all the way to the thumping metal grind…no musical stone gets unturned. McTUFF is about letting it all go and having fun, a moment of time to remember the groove laid down by the soul masters as well as introduce original works of their own.
With a high level of musicianship, strong songwriting, fearless improvisation, and a depth of musical knowledge that spans almost every style and genre of music, McTuff is a movin’ and groovin’ adventure that you will not soon forget.
Like all great combos, McTuff loves to stir the pot even more with the addition of some of the best guest artists around. They have recorded and toured extensively with legendary saxophonics madman Skerik, both solo and with his Syncopated Taint Septet, as well as welcomed some of the hottest horns in the land, such as none other than Karl Denson, Devin Phillips, Jessica Lurie (with and without) the Tiptons, Craig Flory, Trombonist John Terpin, MC sensation “Radio”, percussion legend Mike Clark of the Headhunters, Drummer Stanton Moore, and many more.
Joe Doria captains the Hammond Organ, the impeccable Andy Coe on guitar, the incredible Dvonne Lewis on drums, and when scheduling permits, “Skerik” on tenor sax.

Tue 5.10 – Funktion
Funk / Pop / Rock / Soul
Funktion + more TBA..
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $5 cover
Whether you’re in a crowded club or overflowing dance floor, every Funktion show feels like a house party you were personally invited to. Maybe because the 7-man band swarms any stage like eager party-goers themselves – ready to throw down with everyone there until the keg is empty.
Funktion is a finely-tuned funk fusion band that combines all the soul of James Brown, the rhythmic beats of Earth, Wind and Fire and licks that would do Hendrix proud. They have vintage roots, with a re-imagined sound of something altogether new.
The band’s tight instrumentations come from years of playing together in various incarnations. However, just because the vibe is tight – don’t think you’ll get any sort of cookie-cutter performance that lacks spontaneity. When Funktion hits the stage, you feel like absolutely anything might happen.
The music is driven, delicious and derived from a collective music tenure that rivals any of their contemporaries. Each Funktion performance originates entirely from the heart. Each beat, rhythm, and percussive jolt comes from the place where blood pumps and inspiration is born.

Born of Oakland, CA, the musical trio Beats Antique consists of producers, David Satori, Sidecar Tommy and world-renowned belly dance performer/producer Zoe Jakes, who helped inspire the thematic Middle East tempo of the band.
Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electonica and world roots music comes Beats Antique, a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance. Beats Antique combines the sounds of the Middle East and orchestral gypsy music with the styles of hip-hop, brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep in a new collage of music that is mixed and broken down with clever breakbeats for an adept international flair. Beats Antique is producing an un-charted style of music by adding live horns, accordion, glockenspiel, viola, string quartets, kalimba, clarinet and various unusual instruments to their big beat arrangements.
Beats Antique have also performed with an incredible list of artists including Bassnectar, Diplo, Tipper, Ooah, Yard Dogs Road Show, Jesse Rose, Plastician, MRK1, Ghislain Poirier, Glitch Mob, Adam Freeland, Ana Sia, Eprom, Mimosa, Mike Relm, Haj, Laser Sword, Sub Swara. They have performed at sold out shows in some of the countries most well known venues including The Fillmore, Great American Music Hall, El Rey and the Bowery Ballroom.
Beats Antique is best imagined as an innovative creature built from the cumulative heritage of the world’s music chasing its tail. However vivid that image, when a marching band groove crashes into bluesy folk chords only to be accompanied by electronic beats and Middle Eastern melodies, you’ll still be surprised.

Thu 4.14 – Lyrics Born
Loyal Family presents…
Lyrics Born w/ Skins & Needles plus Nato Caliph!
Alternative / Funk / Hip-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $15 >> Buy Tickets
One of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling independent hip-hop artists of this era, Lyrics Born is not the type to sit still. While recording his fourth solo album, completing new projects, and making decisions at Quannum Projects, he still averaged over 150 sold-out shows a year. He’s a whirlwind.
His 1997 debut with Lateef the Truth Speaker, Latyrx, sold 100,000 for his influential indie label, SoleSides. When the label was reborn as Quannum Projects, the album he helmed, Quannum Spectrum, yielded him an international hit with “I Changed My Mind”. His day-in-the-struggle concept album, Later That Day, featured “Callin’ Out”, a monster crossover that lodged at #1 at the influential rock station LIVE 105 for 5 weeks. Same !@#$ Different Day collected new tracks and alternate versions of tracks and became Quannum Projects’ fastest seller. Overnite Encore captured the excitement and intensity of LB’s live show, and produced another chart-topper, “I’m Just Raw”.
Lyrics Born has been one of the most licensed hip-hop artists in the world, with placements on Diet Coke, Motorola, Nokia, and Vans commercials, TV shows such as “Entourage”, “Six Feet Under”, “What About Brian”, “Gossip Girl”, and “Gilmore Girls”, films like Michael Mann’s “Collateral” and Justin Lin’s “Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift”, and videogames by EA Sports, 2K Sports and Atari. He has had sponsorships with Puma, Adidas, Diesel, and Evisu.
Skins & Needles is a duo made up of Dj Zeph (Om Records, Oakland Faders) and Max MacVeety (drummer for Crown City Rockers). Both staples in the Bay Area Hip-Hop scene, this duo joins forces to bring a club-party vibe with the use of live drums, breaks, scratching + mixing that keeps the dance floor moving. With live drums and Dj Zeph’s musicality, Skins & Needles catches the attention of musicians, producers, and Hip-Hop heads as well as people just wanting to party and dance.
Nato Caliph is an underground rapper from St. Louis, MO, with a socially conscious, thought-provoking style in stark contrast to better-known St. Louis rappers Nelly and the St. Lunatics. Born Shedrick Remon Kelley on August 9, 1980, he made his recording debut in 2004 with the self-released album 1080. A few years later, in affiliation with F5 Records, he released his second album, Cipher Inside (2007), which found a larger, broader audience than his debut. He’s been a local force in Hip-Hop ever since.

Sat 4.9 – Cornmeal + WhiteWater Ramble
Loyal Family presents…
Folk / Roots / Bluegrass
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $10adv-$12dos
Formed over 10 years ago, Cornmeal has grown from humble beginnings into a nationally recognized live music institution. 10 years together is no simple task these days, especially when the last five have seen the band spending over half the year on the road. Heavily influenced by American roots and folk music, Cornmeal blends lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies into an unrivaled live performance that continues to expand upon the five-piece acoustic-electric groups’ vast musical repertoire. While steeped in the tradition of the past, Cornmeal continues to forge their own path, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. With a rapidly growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of the bluegrass sound and live performance.
With the release of their debut album “In The Kitchen” (2001 Livin’ Live records), Cornmeal secured its place as one of the top bands in its genre. 2003’s “Tales from Magic Stone Mountain” (Livin’ Live records) garnered much critical attention and became a staple on College and AAA top 10 lists throughout the country.
They pride themselves on the energy they put forth each night creating an unrivalled live performance that continues to shape itself into a energentic one of a kind experience. Live in Chicago, IL Vol. I proves that Cornmeal continues to be a band to watch out for. Every show they play is a unique experience that leaves fans begging for more.
Colorado-bred quintet WhiteWater Ramble combines the elements of Mandolin, Fiddle, Acoustic Guitar, Upright Bass, Drums and Vocals to explore the musical boundaries of multiple genres to fuel their own mixture of original music and innovative cover song interpretations. Whether playing an intimate encore, acoustic and unplugged in the crowd, or surfing on top of the upright bass, WhiteWater Ramble delivers a powerful and memorable live performance.

Mon 3.28 – Mark Instinct + High Rankin
Nasty Rumor, Connector, and Loyal Family unite to bring you a special Wrek Sessions Live Broadcast featuring Mark Instinct and High Rankin.
+ Heezy, Mohawk, and Alex Hendrix
8pm Doors / 9:30pm Show / 18+ / $10 cover ($5 minor surcharge)
Mark Instinct was always into the sounds of electronic music, but it wasn’t until his introduction to drum and bass, at the age of seventeen, that he decided it was time to add his own mark on music. With impeccable taste and skill sets, early bookings with Hive, Pendulum, Noisia and Tech Itch started to gain him recognition in bass circles around Western Canada.
At the age of 20 years old, when Mark Instinct started experimenting with music production, he finally found his niche. Beginning with drum and bass, and dabbling in other genres, such as house, it was the grimy stripped down sounds of dubstep that ultimately caught his attention. Creating dark nasty beats, synonymous with the Western Canadian sound, Mark Instinct soon began to chisel out his own distinctive style imprinted on releases “Sketchy Maxx” and “Fword”.
Attention from record labels Rottun, Dubline and Aufect recordingss lead to the release of “Invader” and “Badman Sound” in 2009, tracks which were soon found on the top-ten playlists of many international DJ’s. Forthcoming “Destroyed” and storming “15 Karat EP” are slated for release in early-mid 2010. Additionally, tracks released on Betamorph Recordings “The Humunaoid EP” & Aufect Digital’s “Love me Nots” release were featured in the top ten charts of Juno, Chemical Records, & Digital Tunes.
Dubstep dandy and local bounder, High Rankin is one of the scenes more eccentric artists. His music brims with character and personality that engulfs the listener as well as causing the obvious dance floor riot! He has an excellent moustache and will fight anyone who disagrees. A man of unhindered honesty, it seems, as the above is the first story of business that he utters throughout this short trip around his musical lifetime. But High Rankin’s introduction to the world of music was far more simple than his introduction to the one of business. “It seemed like the easiest way to pull chicks as I couldn’t play the guitar, and I thought it would be cool”. See, simple. But when you get down to the nuts of bolts of what High Rankin is actually about, there’s not only an inimitable personality behind everything that he does, but an unfaltering ethic and politik stemming from the most simple elements of his musical back and foreground.

Thu 3.24 – Nit GriT
Dubstep / IDM / Drum ‘n Bass
NiT GriT + DNAEBEATS + Freddy Todd
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $15 ($5 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
NiT GriT is the devious machination of 24 year old San Jose, California native, Danny Beall. A relative newcomer to the scene, Dan has rapidly gained a substantial following in the 8 months since the inception of this project. Influenced by genres such as IDM, D&B, Glitch, and Breakcore, Dan has spent the past 4 years producing and experimenting under several different monikers. His latest undertaking dissects elements from dubstep, glitch, and grime, and cauterizes them together in the most visceral and precise manner possible.
San Francisco-based producer, composer and blap pioneer DNAEBEATS creates soundscapes that travel through genre after genre. After years of childhood classical performances around he world he knew that music was his calling. While on tour in Europe he first heard hip hop and electronic music from a tour manager who played him cassettes of Aphex Twin and Digable Planets. Both albums blew DNAE’s mind in completely different directions, and at that moment he knew his path in life was to make electronic music.
Freddy Todd is a man a plan a canal panama. Mr. Palmer makes electronic music or dUbstep//GliTcH HoP//LazEr CrunK, if you wanna get fancy. When he was a lad, he grew up on the drum set and then moved to the piano/keys and guitar/bass. These combined skills offered his musical synergy to disperse in the elctronic scene. Making a genre of its own, Freddy Todd will go down in history as raunchy ba$$-beater and one of the most innovative of the internet music craze of the 2010’s. He has three cats and a dog named Buddy and Harrison’s pool. His EP’s include Ghost Dance Messiah (2009), Hallowz Eve (2009), and iLLegaL summer ‘stache (2010).

Mon 3.7 – Wrek Sessions f/ Reso
+ Hendrix + Heezy + The Mohawk
Dubstep / Glitch / Hypercrunk
8pm Doors / 9:30pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($5 minor surcharge)
Reso is simultaneously moving a whole spectrum of electronic genres forward while further cementing his place as the overlord of hi-tech dubstep. With Reso wobble, hypercrunk, breaks, wonky, hip-hop and D n B all receive the treatment. Reso’s deep musicality, incredible skill, intricate programming and wildly diverse references place him at the peak of a new breed of electronic producers.
The sonic counterpart to roaring robotic futurism, Reso’s hybrid of rising ambience, hyper beats and speaker busting tech-basslines feels more suited to a post apocalyptic Tokyo than the contemporary concrete of most Dubstep. A truly visual experience his music’s mech-mania induced synthesesia conjures images of neon-tinged neo-Japanese cityscapes, powerful hulking automatons and violent bassline machismo.
After killer 12inches « If Ya Can’t Beat Em » and « Heavy Arms EP » (both on Civil Music) and a host of remixes from Wiley, the Qemists to Crookers through Drop The Lime, Reso kicked off 2010 with a bang. His 2x12inch Temjin EP opens his new musical worlds to the wider electronic audience and rewards the playstation generation, loyal club kids and seasoned steppers who go wild for Reso’s productions already. Reso’s diverse references will draw fans from all realms of the electronic spectrum. Emotive and unique, Reso’s new rhythmic possibilities and perfectly chaotic programming make this essential for fans of Dubstep through Techno to IDM, from Skream to Thom Yorke to Rustie via Bukem.
As Reso moves towards his debut album for Civil Music due early 2011 he’s dropped his “In Da Mix” CD on Z-Audio, joined the Hospital Records Family to showcase his genre redefining DnB skills with Slap Chop and squeezed in Remixes for Drop the Lime, Foamo, Qemists and dEbruit amongst others. Currently busy preparing his live show (in between touring the USA and Europe). His sonic take over is surely underway.

Thu 3.3 – Great American Taxi
Loyal Family presents…
Great American Taxi + Mountain Sprout + Scandaleros
Americana / Bluegrass / Psychobilly / Blues / Funk
7:30pm Doors / 8:30pm Show / 21+ / $10 cover
In the past five years, Great American Taxi has become one of the best-known headliners on the jam band circuit. Their uninhibited sound is a swinging concoction of swampy blues, progressive bluegrass, funky New Orleans strut, Southern boogie, honky tonk country, gospel, and good ol’ fashioned rock ’n’ roll. Great American Taxi was born when singer, guitarist, and mandolin player Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon joined keyboard player and singer Chad Staehly for a superstar jam to benefit the Rainforest Action Group in Boulder, in March of 2005. “We put together a dream band of the best local musicians for a one-off gig,” Herman recalls. “It worked so well we had to do it again, and again, and again.” Great American Taxi quickly evolved into one of the best country-, rock-, and bluegrass- influenced jam bands in the land, masterfully blending acoustic and electric instruments into music they call “Americana Without Borders.”
Great American Taxi has been equated with roots rockers like the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grateful Dead, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, The Byrds, and Little Feat. Herman finds the comparisons flattering. “We’re definitely connected to all the acts in the country/rock spectrum, as well as the spirit of Gram Parsons and Woody Guthrie,” he says. “We want to address the issues appropriate to our times, while making music that gets people up and moving.”
“Well, we are just doing what we like to do the best way we know how. We are a touring band from Eureka Springs, Arkansas, playing music to make ourselves happy and hopefully entertain some of you along the way. We play about 250 shows a year ,some large venues and some not so large, we have shared the stage with too many bands to name here, some well known bands and some not so well known. Drop a little note in our inbox if you have something interesting to say. We will be coming your way sooner or later, see you all of the sudden like.”

Wed 3.2 – The Meditations
Loyal Family presents… REGGAE WEDNESDAY f/ The Meditations.
“one of the premier vocal groups in Jamaican history…”
+ Reggae Ruffins
+ Ital-K
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $15 before 10pm, $20 after 10pm / Buy Tickets
The Meditations are among the most beloved and respected harmony trios to emerge from the roots era of reggae during the 1970s. Now they are back and better than ever with GHETTO KNOWLEDGE, their first album of brand new material since 1992. The group was formed in 1974 by three talented singers and songwriters: Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke and Winston Watson. A quarter-century later The Meditations remain one of only two groups from the golden age of vocal trios to record and perform with its original line-up intact.
Their first full-length record, MESSAGE FROM THE MEDITATIONS (1977), collected their singles of the previous four years. This was quickly followed by WAKE UP in 1978, which continued their streak of strong harmonies and roots anthems on songs like “Fly Natty Dread” and the title track. Also in 1978, the group worked with legendary producer Lee “Scratch” Perry, recording “No Peace,” “Think So” and other songs at the fabled Black Ark Studio. These songs were included on the highly popular Lee Perry ARKOLOGY box set that was released in 1997. In 1977, The Meditations came to the attention of reggae’s most famous artist, Bob Marley. He heard in The Meditations echoes of his own group, The Wailers, when they were first starting out. He tapped The Meditations to sing backing vocals on a number of songs, including “Blackman Redemption,” “Punky Reggae Party,” and “Rastaman Live Up.” He also invited them to open the historic One Love Peace Concert in April 1978, where they shared the bill with Marley, Peter Tosh and others. The Meditations also provided background vocals for a number of artists including Gregory Isaacs, Jimmy Cliff and The Congos (for most of the legendary HEART OF THE CONGOS album which was re-released by Blood & Fire in 1997 to great acclaim).
Virgin’s Guide to Reggae wrote “Resourceful beyond the limits of most bands, The Meditations rode out the dancehall era. They remain revered ambassadors of rasta reggae, and retain much goodwill in America today.”
Gorgeous harmonies, beautifully written songs, and cultural lyrics…

Sat 2.26 – Bawn in the Mash + Chicago Farmer
Folk / Bluegrass / Americana
Bawn in the Mash + Chicago Farmer
8pm Doors / 8:45pm Show / 18+ / $8 ($5 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
Entering their sixth year as a touring band, Bawn in the Mash will now offer Itunes users over 60 published songs to choose from with the release of their forthcoming eponymous album. Since 2004, Bawn in the Mash have performed over 300 shows across the country, ranging from eclectic music festivals to hosting their own annual Cluckin’ and Pluckin’. Listeners are often treated to an opening set of dynamic acoustics, followed by a second set that typically pushes the limits of experimental music- unclassifiable to any specific genre. All members of the band are multi-instrumentalists, utilizing everything from the violin to their own custom made instruments.
Early fans watched the band go from busking Appalachian street corners to headlining the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion– from performing on the corner of 4th and Broadway to selling out the world famous Station Inn– and from playing local barrooms to performing in the Victorian Ballroom aboard the Delta Queen steamboat, as the band continually progresses and impresses listeners worldwide.
Every folk-singer has to migrate to the city, in a way it seems to be hidden in definition of a folk singer anymore. Cody (aka Chicago Farmer) has come to remind Chicago that it is indeed in Illinois. And to remind the rest of the world that when Louis Armstrong redefined, some say invented the art of Jazz in the 1920′s he brought his Hot Fives to Chicago to do it. When Robert Johnson wanted to put his Mississippi Mud on wax, his hellhound chased him to Chicago to do it. And same like, Cody has come to Chicago to deliver what it needs, when it isn’t even sure itself. He is currently recording a collection of songs from his vast back-catalog and performing across the heartland.
Cody’s voice is powerful and gritty, emotionally piercing while subtly imbuing additional layers of meaning and poignancy in his lyrical delivery. His song-writing is deeply rooted in the American Folk tradition and all of its grit but with a post Dylan sense of wit, perspicacity and that certain savior-faire. He didn’t go to college but he drank all of their beer..

Fri 2.25 – WE THE PEOPLE
Lane 4 & Loyal Family present… WE THE PEOPLE
+Music+Community Action+Slogan Art+”Real” “Mock” Elections+Protest+A Citywide Social Justice Fair ft Organizations from ALL OVER StL+
featuring: The Hot House Sessions, 18andCounting, Tef Poe, Jonathan Toth, From Hoth, Tucker Booth, John Maxfield Band, and StL Improv Anywhere
House / Soul / Hip-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $5 cover
In the wake of one of the most disastrous economic crises in the history of modern capitalism, elections hold greater and lesser significance. As the only way for the average citizen to participate in the political process, elections and voting have an incomparable role in American socio-politcal engagement. Organizers and leaders use elections to mobilize their communities. Yet, as the political processes that govern our lives …slip further and further into the hands of powerful, private interests, elections are reduced to placebo.
We The People is a play on both extremes. Despite the lack of control that everyday people have about the course of their society, each election cycle brings with it the opportunity to enact or halt important local issues. On a small scale, our elected officials can be held accountable to their constituencies, and their policies have direct, measurable effects on our neighborhoods. But elections are never, and have never been, enough. They have become an important but insufficient form civic responsibility.
An empowered, educated and united community acts in its own best interest. We The People will be as much a mobilization as a statement of protest against the system as a whole.
The night will feature music from StL’s best and beyond; slogan art inspired by elections, community action, and generally anything we believe in; a ballot with social action items that we WILL implement; a Social Justice Fair with information and representation from many StL orgs; voter education + registration; and a few Lane4 surprises.

Loyal Family & Nasty Rumor present…
SPL + Ben Samples + Doombox + HoodNasty
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($5 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
SPL aka Sam Pool has spent the last decade taking risks and breaking the mold in electronic music. Received internationally, SPL feeds the ears and souls of bassheads worldwide. From thousands of screaming fans in St. Petersburg and Kiev arenas, to massive club nights in Holland and New Zealand, to stateside venues such as the legendary Fox Theater in Boulder, Colorado, SPL delivers with passion and musical prowess that goes beyond the current state of dance music. Because of his international experiences and influences, SPL has launched into new territories time and time again.
SPL’s most recent approach forays into the depths of dub-hop infused hyper-bass music. Combining elements from the pulse of an all-night party and a healthy dose of Trap-Star Crunk, a unique and highly energetic experience emerges every time SPL gets on the decks. For those who cannot wait for a show, the same sound and intensity can be found in his recent track “Back at It” or his massive remix of Bassnectar’s “Bass Head”. Either way, SPL is bound to take your head on an intergalactic-bass journey, and leave you begging for more!
Ben Samples is one half of the live remix project Fresh2Death that is based out of Denver, CO. His style is crunk glitch-hop, complete with bass-heavy remixes of your favorite club anthems and hip hop. His professional DJ career started in 2006 when he picked up a weekly variety radio show for CU Boulder’s KVCU. His show covered many genres, with a focus on dance music and hip hop. Now, Samples blends both hip hop and dance music into a hybrid club hip hop sound that is redefining the bassline genre. Samples is a member of the Denver Bass Squad, which is the essential crew that pushes the heavy bass scene in the Colorado area.

8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $10 cover
Whether performing on big stages at festivals, or playing intimate setting in pubs and the finer taverns all over the mid west & south, Dirtfoot puts on an uproarious show. The crowds come to take part in the fun and chaos, hollering to all the calls and responses, shaking their beancans, and getting down with the infectious grooves. There is only one Gypsy Punk Country Grumble Boogie band in the land… Dirtfoot.
Led by the organic writings of Matt Hazelton with each player adding his own flavor and feeling to the songs and sound of the group, Dirtfoot is a blend of eclectic styles as well as diverse personalities. All of their instruments are acoustic but their energy and ingenuity will make you swear they are plugged in. Featuring instruments ranging from an acoustic guitar, banjo, upright bass, pots n’ pans, drums, bells, saxophone, xylophone and more, this band has a truly engaging sound, a real dose of Gypsy, Punk, Country, Grumble Boogie! It is like a good gumbo – you have some growling vocals, upright bass and percussion that makes a good, dark, dirty Louisiana roux, mixed heartily with some meaty rhythms, combined liberally with fresh offerings from the guitar and banjo that are like okra and tomatoes picked from your backyard garden, topped with the hot n’ sexy spice of the saxophone and jazz style drums, and finally a little something magical and indescribable, and you have Dirtfoot – a delicious, spicy, dirty band that will make you stomp your feet, shake your ass and yell like a lunatic on a full moon night.

Thu 2.17 – Mykal Rose
Loyal Family presents…
Grammy Award-winning singer Mykal Rose
+ Fyah Enagy + Josh Heinrichs + Ras Tra
Roots / Reggae / Dub / Rock
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $25adv-$30dos
Michael Rose (aka Mykal Rose) is a Grammy award winning reggae singer from Jamaica. Possessing a wide-ranged voice, Rose would regularly meet in Kingston with singers, musicians, writers, and producers such as Dennis Brown, Big Youth, The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Sly and Robbie, and others.
Born in the Western Kingston ghetto of Waterhouse, Jamaica on July 11, 1957 Michael Rose was introduced to music by his brothers, who used to sing around the house. Blessed with a powerful voice he joined a band, doing local talent shows as well as entertaining tourists in the north coast hotels of Jamaica. Returning to Kingston in 1975, Niney the Observer first spotted the potential of Michael Rose and produced first recordings like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” and “Clap The Barber” to name a few.
The following year he replaced Don Carlos as the lead singer of a three-piece vocal group called Black Uhuru. Their first full-length recording “Love Crisis”, produced by Prince Jammy in 1977, was later remixed and re-released as “Black Sounds of Freedom”. Michael Rose had a profound effect on the sound of the group. With his distinctive voice and his powerful, self-penned reality themes, Black Uhuru were to eventually become the Reggae supergroup of the 80’s after joining forces with Sly & Robbie and releasing hit-singles like “Shine Eye Gal”, “General Penitentiary” or “Plastic Smile” on the Taxi Label. Signed to Island Records in 1980, they recorded highly acclaimed albums like “Sinsemillia”, “Red”, “Chill Out” and the grammy-winning “Anthem” in 1984.
In 1985 Michael Rose left Black Uhuru to pursue a solo career. After recording singles like “Bogus Badge” and “Demonstration” on his own Grammy Rose label he took a break from the music business, preferring instead to farm coffee on land he owned in Jamaica.
Opening sets by: Fyah Enagy, Josh Heinrichs, and Ras Tra.

Thu 2.10 – Signal Path
+ Goodness Gracious + 18andCounting
Big Beat / Electronic / Hip-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
For almost a decade, Signal Path‘s mission has been to push the boundaries of electronic music in the performance setting. As one of the pioneers of their genre, Signal Path has influenced countless artists across the country, been downloaded by tens of thousands of loyal fans nationwide, played almost every major US festival, and has gained international recognition for their live shows.
In the next phase of Signal Path, and almost two years since their last major tour, fans find the band producing a sound that has become more mature, authoritative, and immense. While still blending both live instrumentation and computer generated production, Signal Path is creating some of the most progressive music in their history. Originally a duo, Signal Path comes full circle with Ryan Burnett producing and playing guitar and Damon Metzner on the acoustic drums. This configuration allows the sound to become focused, spontaneous, and rich.
*DOWNLOAD THEIR NEW RECORD FOR FREE: http://signalpathmusic.com/
Goodness Gracious is the latest project from the mind of Mike Fitzsimons (from Digital Movement / Fitz & Dan). Fitz has been hard at work in the studio, creating new tracks with guitar, synth, and Ableton production. Check out what he’s working on at his website below; and come out October 1st to see and hear the tracks in full effect. There will be live guitar, bass, synth, and laptop DJ’ing.
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.

Sat 2.5 – Messy Jiverson + The Floozies
Messy Jiverson is BACK!
w/ The Floozies (Lawrence, KS)
Psychedelic / Funk / Electro
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $7 ($3 minor surcharge)
From the stacks of basement record collections and the soundtracks of 70’s and 80’s era cult films comes Messy Jiverson, a blast from the past that’s timelessly vintage, yet modernly applicable all in the same. Inspired by the sounds of dusty vinyl, dirty guitars, dangerous drum breaks and dynamic synthesizers, the band explores elements of funk, hip-hop, rock and soul in their completely original style. Heavily influenced by the loop digga movement and decades of musical history, Messy Jiverson is psychedelic rock with a hip-hop flair and hard dance beats.
Hailing from the Midwest, the band quickly formed after a group collaboration of several accomplished musicians came together in the summer of 2007. With the desire to make a serious musical statement, Messy Jiverson’s conceptual sounds feverishly attracted a young, hip, St. Louis crowd, mesmerized by body moving beats amid mind bending instrumental compositions. On the strength of their latest album, ROWC (a top ten record of the year in 2010 – RFT), the group plays to a loyal following night in and night out. Over the last few years they’ve shared the stage with such eclectic artists as Pnuma Trio, Edan, EOTO, Lotus, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Family Groove Co., Euforquestra, and Public Property.
A show with The Floozies is like a Lewis and Clark expedition through all things funky, except instead of Lewis and Clark you have brothers Matt and Mark Hill. Their “funk for aliens” will take you on a journey through classic funk, hip-hop, dub, disco, electronica, and afro-beat with hints of jazz and even film scores along the way. Since forming in January of 2008, this duo has gone from rocking local house parties to touring the country and performing alongside their musical heroes. And with nothing pre-recorded and nothing sampled, every show is a completely unique experience as they reach for new levels of improvisation. While The Floozies are certainly eclectic, one thing that can be counted on is that every show is a party. With lasers. And aliens. So come experience their synth-hop-electro travelling funk circus and be awakened by music that is truly created in the moment.

Fri 2.4 – Starkey + Bare
+ Spankalicious vs. Dr. Awkward + Jen Z & more!
Dubstep / Drum ‘n Bass / Hip-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $15 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
STARKEY
Grime/Dubstep/Hip-Hop
PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skills that would leave most composers green faced with envy. This combined with his high production ethic makes him a formidable force not only in the underground but also as a super producer of the future. Starkey is yet another example of what the streets of Philadelphia can create, his sound hits hard and is littered with bass and colourful audio frequencies. If you like grime, dubstep, hip hop and all things “street bass” then Starkey’s hard edged spaced out crunk is the sound for you.
BARE
Drum ‘n Bass/West Coast Hip-Hop/Dubstep
For Los Angeles bassline technician BARE, aka Sean Rodela, 2010 will be fondly remembered as the year his twisted face melting sickness exploded into a worldwide epidemic. Taking the dubstep scene by storm with his staggering studio output and electrifying live performances, there is no question BARE has clawed his way into the ranks of the bass music elite – and he’s not going anywhere. If you don’t know, time to get to know…
The BARE sound is a product of deep roots in rock, west coast hip-hop (as part of the Vital Mindz collective) and aggressive drum ‘n’ bass (as past alias Reborn). These influences, combined with ultra crisp drum programming, slick melodies and mind altering bass modulation, spawn face melting dubstep anthems that practically rewind themselves. “I’d have to say that the love of making something from nothing inspires me to make music,” BARE says. “There is no better feeling than when you see people go insane to something you created from scratch!”
SPANKALICIOUS
Psychedelic/Bounce/Dubstep
Spankalicious is bounce. Making his mark on the electronic music scene in the Midwest with the high energy that he brings to the stage, creating the vibe needed to get the rage started! Kevin Moore (aka: Spankalicious) is currently based out of St. Louis, Missouri. Coming from an extensive background in rudimental percussion/drumming has allowed Spank to read rhythms inside and out. Shown through scratching, drumming, as well as seamlessly blending and mixing, Spankalicious thrives on taking the crowd on a journey.
vs.
DR. AWKWARD
Columbian Dubstep Cartel
Nick Meyer aka Dr. Awkward first touched turntables about a year and a half ago, and hasn’t looked back since. The live experience has made Nick a hometown favorite, and allowed him to share the stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music today… Vaski, Siren, DZ, HD4000, Ill Gates, plus Datsik and Dieselboy in the near future, just to name a few. His passion for different types of music outside the electronic scene, be it blues guitar, underground hip-hop, or classical piano, lends a sound, flow, and emotion to his shows that is quite rare in the dubstep scene. Keep an eye out… Things could get awkward…
JEN Z
House/Drum ‘n Bass/Breaks
“With a little bit of spunk and a lot of raw talent, Jen Z tears up the dance scene all across the Midwest. Her timing techniques and immaculate track selection have earned her a spot rocking Burning Man this year and she was recently voted St. Louis’ best Breaks DJ of 2008. You might have seen her grace coveted St. Louis stages from Winter Warpdrive to Underground Sound and Booty Halloween. Strap on your sneakers and brush up your moves, Jen Z on the decks rocks a dirty sick groove!”

Wed 2.2 – REGGAE WEDNESDAY f/ Anthony B & The Untouchable Band
Loyal Family & D. Rasta Promotions present…
REGGAE WEDNESDAY featuring Anthony B & The Untouchable Band
Hosted by DJ Isly + DJ Shabang & DJ Witz
Reggae / Roots / Ska
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $22adv-$28dos / Buy Tickets
Anthony B is the stage name of Keith Blair (born March 31, 1976), a Jamaican musician. Blair grew up in rural Clarks Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh’s influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B’s vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafarian beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his new religion and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in the Kingston suburb, Portmore. Anthony B is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. “Bobo Dreads”, as they are known, are recognizable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or “overstandings” as Rastafarians prefer to call them) which Anthony B holds are reflected in his songs.
Anthony B tours extensively in Europe and North America and is known for his fiery, high-energy performances.

Tue 2.1 – SURPRISE FREE SHOW w/ Orgone!!
Funk / Glitch-Hop / Dubstep / Dub
Orgone (Los Angeles, CA) – Surprise!
+ 18andCounting + SlantE + Pah Je
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / FREE SHOW! ($3 minor surcharge)
Orgone’s show @ The Pageant got cancelled, but they still wanna play… Join us tonight for one of the best funk bands in the country! How’s that for a surprise?
Orgone is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force and musicians who have played together for years. They are self schooled and continue to shape their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records and jam out their shared inspirations. With a rooted sense of funk, soul, afrobeat, deep rhythms and an intimate understanding of dj culture as well as each others’ individual talents, Orgone seamlessly slides through multiple styles and dynamic performances. The group continuously injects whatever they play with a heavy brand of raw funk power.
At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for more than 10 years. Having grown artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole. The orginal 5-member band started out by putting their own gritty takes on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Booker T. and the MGs, Grant Green and Funkadelic among many others. They quickly gained underground respect and die hard fans. With their searing live sets and original instrumentals, Orgone soon released their debut self titled CD, “Orgone,” in 2002. The result was a collection of all original down home, transcendental, tough and gritty funk instrumentals.

Fri 1.28 – Two Fresh + Mux Mool + Body Language
Loyal Family presents…
TWO FRESH (Asheville, NC)
w/ Mux Mool + Body Language
Ghettotech / Glitch-Hop / Live-Electronics
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge)
Two Fresh consists of twin brothers Sherwyn and Kendrick Nicholls and is accompanied live by drummer Colby Buckler. The twins have been making beats and playing music together since their freshman year of high school. In August of 2008, they began playing shows across the south. In early December they added on Colby on drums for the live setting. Together they bust out some of the freshest tracks, wowing people from all over the spectrum. Packing out venues, they keep the whole place moving with a raw, cutting edge sound that is a combination of hip-hop and jazz that takes electronic music to a whole new level. No matter what your into, Two Fresh will bring you music that is guaranteed to keep you moving. Their sound has begun to grasp the attention of people across the globe.
“I know it’s electronic music,” Brian Lindgren says, “but sometimes I feel like an old-timey traveling musician with an M-Audio Trigger Finger instead of a guitar.” As Mux Mool, Lindgren has been criss-crossing the country by himself for years, collecting records, loops, and samples, and rocking parties in towns both large and boondock-small. Lindgren is a self-confessed nerd to the bone, an incurable doodler, a Star Trek: The Next Generation fan; he lives on energy drinks and barely sleeps, spending his days working on music and his nights absorbing Internet memes by the hard-drive load. Mux Mool’s homespun electro hip-hop is the product of an introverted mind, an extroverted imagination, and a bottomless cultural appetite.
“Retro-minded Brooklyn club act Body Language take ‘80s soul and electro and deliver it with a futuristic slant, much like Deee-Lite, Chromeo, or Jamiroquai. Backed by party promoters CassetteNYC and Percussionlab, the band (Grant Wheeler, Matt Young, Ian Chang, and Ms. Angelica Bess) built up a solid fan base playing shows in N.Y.C., before Moodgadget Records released the group’s Speaks EP in 2009.”

Fri 1.21 – Kraddy
Glitch-Hop / Crunk / Dubstep
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 cover ($3 minor surcharge)
Known as a pioneer of electronic music, Kraddy is one of the most innovative and
remarkable artists of his day. He stands as a visionary in his field, a fresh voice that spans genres and artistic style. Hybridizing hip hop, dubstep and dancehall with digital edits and cuts, Kraddy’s music is a voice from the future awakening our ears and minds to what is yet to come.
Originally from NY, Kraddy (born Matthew Kratz) began his musical career in San
Francisco releasing his debut album, Truth Has No Path, in 2003. With the release of the single “Faux Show” (a remix of The Old Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya”,) Kraddy became an underground favorite in the electronic music world. After a handful of vinyl breakbeat releases, Kraddy changed the game once again with his sophomore effort, The Illegal Album. Fueled by fierce beats and searing edits, The Illegal Album was a radical fusion of Kraddy’s unique production chops with classic hip hop and dancehall acapellas. It was hailed as a breakthrough and soon after led to his collaboration with the Glitch Mob.

Thu 1.20 – Virtual Boy : FREE SHOW!
Loyal Family presents…
+ Heyoka (AGAIN!) + Heezy + McGruff
Electronic / Pop / Glitch-Hop
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / FREE SHOW! ($3 minor surcharge)
Hotwiring naughty synth lines and dancefloor-crushing beats with elegant harmonic textures and twisted, pop-cultured hooks, Virtual Boy craft a grimy, cinematic sound all their own on the group’s debut EP “How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?,” released July 21, 2009 on 1320 Records. But even before Virtual Boy had an official release, taste-making DJs spanning packed clubs to BBC Radio were spinning their atmospheric bangers, which owe as much to Bach and Mozart as they do to Ratatat, evoking Air as much as Virtual Boy’s heroes-in-glitch Nosaj Thing and The Glitch Mob.
That stylishly oddball set of influences is what happens when two talented young classical musicians discover their shared passion for dusty vintage synthesizers, new electronic-music genres, classic formalwear, and girls that look like they are starring in a ’60s Godard movie. Out of that distinctive crucible, Virtual Boy was born – the duo taking its distinctive moniker from a rare Nintendo game console gathering dust in a Southern California dorm room. Virtual Boy founders Henry Allen and Preston Walker met freshman year at Chapman University’s Conservatory of Music based in California’s famed Orange County.

Mon 1.17 – Heyoka
Dub / Electronica / IDM / Dubstep
w/ Spankalicious + Alpaca vs. Yvan Carr-Chua
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
Heyoka a.k.a. Andrei Olenev is another cosmic auditory scientist found in the Bay Area noosphere, who recently delighted us with his auditory manipulations. Muti Music first released Heyoka’s “Space Case EP” in 2008 and included him on their growing roster of talented artists.
Heyoka is fast becoming one of San Francisco’s hottest new producers on the scene and also one of the best performers. His early influences in Downtempo, Dub and IDM combined with more recent midtempo dancefloor genres from the likes of Bassnectar, Glitch Mob and An-ten-nae have helped create a very unique sound that combines relentless basslines, hip hop and dub rhythms with a lot of musicality and melody. Heyoka’s earlier works were identifiable by their crushing basslines and ‘spacey’ blips and glitches, ‘Pineal Dub’ shows progression from Heyoka as a producer with greater use of negative space and ethereal melodies that can only be heard as melancholy or wickedly cheerful. The response to his emergence so far has been overwhelming with Heyoka opening nights for Tipper, Benga & Skream amongst others.
Spankalicious is bounce. Making his mark on the electronic music scene in the Midwest with the high energy that he brings to the stage, creating the vibe needed to get the rage started! Kevin Moore (aka: Spankalicious) is currently based out of St. Louis, Missouri. Coming from an extensive background in rudimental percussion/drumming has allowed Spank to read rhythms inside and out. Shown through scratching, drumming, as well as seamlessly blending and mixing, Spankalicious thrives on taking the crowd on a journey.
Columbia, MO native ALPACA returns home to promote the current robot Apocalypse. Sharing bills with The Glitch Mob, EPROM, DZ, Mochipet, MartyParty, ill-esha, Siren, Samples, Dark Party, Mux Mool, Ana Sia + festival performances at Wakarusa and Underground Sound 6, Alpaca continues to blur the boundaries of the growing glitch-hop & dubstep scenes.

Sat 1.15 – BoomBox
House / Disco / Psychedelic
+ Cor(e)yography + Justin Torres’ Loop Project
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $12 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
BoomBox is Producer/Engineer/DJ/Drummer Russ Randolph and Producer/DJ/Vocalist/Guitarist Zion Rock Godchaux. This pair of dynamic artists uses their rich musical history and their vision of music and popular culture to deliver a style of music distinctly different from anything heard or seen in music today. This signature sound and show brings live music to a new, elevated level.
BoomBox evolved through the common visualization of a pair of forward thinking artists from diverse musical backgrounds. Raised by supportive and musically inclined parents, both Godchaux and Randolph had an obsession with music at very young ages. Godchaux, who grew up with deeply embedded rock and roll roots, began playing drums at the age of two, and played guitar and wrote his own songs as a teen. During the 90s, Godchaux was a well-received touring DJ based out of the San Francisco area. Randolph began as a young drummer, but it’s what was happening behind the scenes that attracted him most. As much producers as they are musicians, it is Randolph’s understanding of soundscape and Godchaux’s knack for songwriting that keeps BoomBox resonating at higher levels.

Fri 1.14 – Ernest Trova Art Show + The Definition of Dance
ArtDimensions is putting on a show featuring the work of Ernest Trova this Friday night, Jan. 14th in the upstairs gallery space. Downstairs will be the third installment of The Definition of Dance featuring The Hot House Sessions.
7pm Doors / 7pm Show / 21+ / $7 cover
Ernest Tino Trova (February 19, 1927 – March 8, 2009) was a self-trained American surrealist and pop art painter and sculptor. Best known for his signature image and figure series, The Falling Man, Trova considered his entire output a single “work in progress.” Trova used classic American comic character toys in some of his pieces because he admired their surrealism. Many of Trova’s sculptures are cast in unusual white bronze. He began as a painter, progressing through three-dimensional constructions to his mature medium, sculpture. Trova’s gift of forty of his works led to the opening of St. Louis’ Laumeier Sculpture Park.

Fri 1.7 – Designer Drugs
Club / Electro / House
8pm Doors / 9pm Show
18+ / $12adv-$15dos ($3 minor surcharge)
Ask the DJ/production duo DESIGNER DRUGS how many air miles they’ve logged over the past year and the answer requires more than a bit of calculating. “Over 300,000,” Michael Vincent Patrick referencing numerous spots around the world where the group has performed. “I have a really nice apartment in New York City, but I’ve only been there three days this month.”
It’s a testament both to the duo’s popularity and work ethic that that number may become the annual norm. After nearly 50 remixes for everyone from Mariah Carey to Annie to Thieves Like Us, the diverse electronic group, comprised of Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, are set to release their debut album HARDCORE/SOFTCORE on Ultra Records in February 2011.
Where past productions and remixes have been on the poppier end of the musical spectrum, Hardcore conjures up a darker, edgier vibe – think the throbbing, industrial-heavy opening club scene in “The Doom Generation” – yet still retains a melodic center on many of the tracks. “I think we’re making music for the apocalypse,” says Michael, only half-joking. “The state of society is at a place where people just don’t give a fuck and that’s what inspires our music.”

dubstep / dubstep / dubstep
When DJ/Producer Vaski sent his demo to rottun manager Excision, he had no idea what he was getting into.. With his first two tracks storming the beatport top ten charts, Vaski hit the studio – returning to his Electro House production roots for the massive Terror Dome EP featuring the hit single “You Wouldn’t Understand.” Vaski’s productions and local DJ sets began to gain attention of international promoters and DJs. He spent the next season DJing at many Twin Cities venues, playing at the famed First Ave, Dinkytowner, and The Loft all the while working on his next work. World on Fire EP shook not only the beatport charts but the entire dubstep community. All five tracks peaked in the top 25 in dubstep on beatport, two tracks in the top ten, and the famous “Get Down” claiming its rightful place as a number one hit. This massive release rocketed Vaski to where he is today: smashing through his international tour, gaining rapid popularity for his unconventional stage presence, and continuously producing ridiculously catchy bass lines. On the horizon for Vaski is the continuation of his tour, and his biggest production to date.
Spankalicious is bounce. Making his mark on the electronic music scene in the Midwest with the high energy that he brings to the stage, creating the vibe needed to get the rage started!

Thu 12.9 – Lazer Sword + Lorn + 18andCounting (Stan’s Birthday)
Lazer Sword is back!
w/ Lorn + 18andCounting
Glitch-Hop / Electro / Crunk
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $12 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
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.

8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
For a decade now, The Mutaytor has traveled the country with one of the most bombastic and unique visceral experiences in modern entertainment. Combining an eleven-piece modern analog and electronic dance orchestra, with a 15 physical performance artists, The Mutaytor creates a rapid fire succession of futuristic vaudevillian theatre and choreographed dance acts, coupled with breathtaking feats of aerial performance, giant screen visuals, massive pyrotechnic displays and unique reinterpretations of the circus arts against one of the most evolved progressive, electronic art rock bands on the West Coast. The vibe is ecstatic, friendly and all-inclusive, and each show is an explosion of immersive, vivid art; both on and off the stage.
Born in the Black Rock Desert at the Burning Man Arts Festival, the Mutaytor has gone on to record 3 critically acclaimed records, and performed to packed houses and giant festivals all over the country. Their fans are rabid and legion, and often elaboratly costumed, and each event often breaches the wall between the entertainers and the entertained.
Originally from Iowa City, IA, Eufórquestra (pronounced: yoo • FOHR • keh • struh, think Euphoria+Orchestra) relocated to Fort Collins, CO in August 2008 and has made a splash on the Colorado music scene with its progressive, genre-crossing funk fusions and a relentless tour schedule. Eufórquestra is quickly spreading its self-proclaimed “Afro-Caribbean-Barnyard-Funk;” a unique, rhythmic blend of sound, integrating such genres as Afrobeat, Reggae, Afro-Cuban, Samba, Soca, Funk, Salsa, and Dub. Eufórquestra’s music is igniting dance floors across the country, with a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss” (Chris M. Slawecki; AllAboutJazz.com). As percussionist and lead vocalist Matt Grundstad puts it, “we just want to make people dance.”
With three full length albums to their name and a relentless tour schedule, Eufórquestra has created a presence on the national scene, performing all over the U.S. at clubs, concert halls, community events, and festivals, such as Wakarusa, Summer Camp, 80/35 (Des Moines, IA), Sweet Pea Festival (Bozeman, MT), NedFest (Nederland, CO), Montana Beer Festival (Bozeman, MT) and Iowa City Jazz Festival. In addition, Eufórquestra hosts their own festival, Camp Euforia, every year in July, just outside of Iowa City, in Lone Tree, IA.

Skank Productions proudly presents…
Ossie Dellimore and the Soldiers of Justice + DJ Ruff Scott CD Release Party! Celebrating the new disc on Skank Records ‘Reggae Music’ with special guest Zion and The Lion Roots Band.
7pm Doors / 8pm Show / 18+ / $20 cover ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
It is too easy to rant and rave about the album, Freedom’s Journal “Righteousness Exalteth a Nation” [Skank Productions]. Ossie Dellimore, together with the Soldiers of Justice, create a powerful ambience of love and unfaltering consciousness as well as a superb contribution to the world of roots rock reggae. From St. Vincent, Ossie Dellimore’s tenor voice is strong and confident as it delivers the conscious messages within his lyrics. Several tracks on his album are worth mention, and the bass lines on this CD are bold, driving the music at a rock-steady pace. This is not one of those CDs that you buy for just one song. Almost every track is a concrete example of what modern roots rock reggae is at its best.
Since immigrating to the United States, Zion’s music has spread from the Caribbean to the Southern and Midwestern states where he has built a sizable following as one of the few Caribbean artists in these Hip Hop dominated communities. With his sights set on the seasoned Caribbean audiences of the Northeast, Zion wowed the producers of New York’s premiere outdoor Reggae festival Irie Jamboree in 2005 and 2006. Zion was the sole roots artist invited by Dancehall legend Bounty Killer to perform at the New York Launch of Saddle to the East 2006, where he won over scores of hardcore Dancehall fans. His biggest goal is to come back home to help his people and spread the message of hope, togetherness, and love. His greatest accomplishment is recording at Tuff Gong Int’l Bob Marley’s studio in Jamaica. Now Zion is working on his new album which will be released on Skank Records. The album is called “Strictly Roots,” look for it soon!

Jason Currington: Vocals, Guitar and Synth

From dance halls to intimate theaters worldwide comes EOTO – the nation’s top innovator in glitchy electronic, bass thumping, dub-step themed music. What EOTO achieves on stage is nothing short of astounding. Performed with all of the bells and whistles of a traditional electronic artist plus the addition of live drums, vocals, bass and guitar, the duo creates each and every bass ridden noise right before your eyes -without the addition of a single pre-recorded track. Known for their 100% live improvised performance, EOTO is breaking ground into a new sub culture of music while standing with some of the nations best live DJ’s in the country. With leagues of sold-out theater performances in 2009, the project started out as an avenue for the duo to blow off steam and generally just have a good time playing around with technology with music. Now, a full time project for the pair with a seemingly endless tour featuring over 600 shows in 4 years and sold out performances in every market in the country. With no signs of stopping, EOTO fine-tunes their approach and skill with each and every show they play, leaving the next performance more unique then the last.

ALEX B – Those familiar with Alex B already know that he tends to take a layered approach to everything, especially his music. His tracks are intricately crafted with painstaking care and attention to detail — a careful mix of analog and digital sounds elevated by imaginative samples and the insight of a classically trained musician. The result is a blend of timeless warmth and future beats that is as easily adaptable to introspective time with one’ s headphones as it is to group mania on a mobbed dance floor.
BIG GIGANTIC – the brainchild of Boulder, Colorado’s own saxophonist/producer, Dominic Lalli, and drummer, Jeremy Salken. Conceived in 2008, the duo found their niche and created a name for themselves in the electronic music scene. By combining vibrant jazz melodies over pulsating dance beats, Big Gigantic delivers an innovative, distinct sound that’s all their own.

Tue 10.19 – CHEAPY $2 TUESDAY w/ J-San and the Analogue Sons + 18andCounting
Tuffsoul / Reggae / Rootsclash
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 21+ / $2
Cheapy Tuesday is leaving St. Louis-ans with no excuse not to go out during the week… $2 cover, $2 16-oz PBR cans, $2 wells, and quality live music and art!
Front man rebel charm and forthright Dub-Rock make J-san and the Analogue Sons a life-force that evokes the integrity of Bob Marley and the earthy soul of Ben Harper. With J-san and the Analogue Sons we are united, reminded of struggle, inspired to seek resolution and yet left content… upfull and bright. …Dub-Rock music is born. J-san and the Analogue Sons have been making heads nod and bodies groove for over a decade. Imagine the Lover’s Rock stylings of reggae legend Gregory Isaacs, the socially conscious world/rock of Michael Franti & Spearhead, the energy of Ozomatli and you may begin to understand the Word-Sound-Power that J-san and the Analogue Sons will take you to.
With their extraordinary sophmore effort SoundResistance on I-Town Records, these dub-rock warriors are sharing their music with the world. Son of radical vietnam vet father and Okinawan mother J-san was raised on the road. Living at times with artists and musicians and other times with ganja growers and hustlers,music was always a companion. J-san’s incredibly powerful vocals are reminiscent of the great soul singers of any era. Deftly moving from love songs dripping with emotion to fiery protest songs that send fists pumping and spines tingling!
J-san sings with real sincerity and universal love. Energy explodes from saxophonist Lee Hamilton, who has gained critical acclaim as former lead horn and horn arranger for John Brown’s Body (J-san was also an original JBB member). On the organ and keys is Michael Stark doing double duty and giving the group a nuanced, dubby bass line courtesy of his Hammond B-3. Lars Burggren’s heavy drum brings the foundation.Kalani Logan, keyboardist for the legendary Itals holds down the guitar and harmony vocal.J-san and the Analogue sons have shared the stage with Toots and the Maytals,Burning Spear, The Wailers,The Itals, John Browns Body, Spearhead, Martin Luther,Isreal Vibrations, Easy Star All-Stars,Citizen Cope,Soulive,String Cheese Incident to name a few.The Music is a genre bending blend of reggae, rock, afrobeat and roots soul. Innovative modern sounds with a decidedly urban flavor that will at times make the dance floor tremble, and then make it sway. This is Dub-Rock for the 21st Century!
Stan Chisholm (a.k.a. 18andCounting) is an emerging interdisciplinary artist from St. Louis, Missouri who studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Thu 10.7 – Henhouse Prowlers + Michael Jonas & Wayward Mountaineers
+ Michael Jonas & Wayward Mountaineers
Bluegrass / Acoustic / Indie / Folk
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge if any) / Buy Tickets
The Henhouse Prowlers
Chicago. A city known for its blues and its bluegrass. In the bluegrass history books, a pivotal stop among others, along the road to success for the Monroe Brothers and, in more current times, noteworthy as home base for the long popular Special Consensus. And now the Windy City serves as a critical intersection in the lives of four musicians, two who hail from Illinois and the others from as far and near as North Carolina and …upstate New York.
With a PBS series soundtrack already to its credit and a critically acclaimed sophomore recording, The Henhouse Prowlers have been barnstorming on to the red hot bluegrass scene since 2004. Not just another bluegrass band, the Henhouse Prowlers are adeptly positioning themselves for nothing less than success. Each member does double duty within the group, holding a business as well as musical post, making it a total collaborative effort.
Dedicated equally to tradition and innovation, The Henhouse Prowlers center their sound on that of the early, formative years of bluegrass, while they keep their pulse on today by covering contemporary topics in a largely original repertoire.
The Henhouse Prowlers wear the Bill Monroe mantle with spit and polish. They perform — and conduct media interviews — in suit-and-tie and work in a tightly choreographed, one-mic stage setting, which adds a dynamic dimension to their shows. Combining passion, confidence, and flair with instrumental and vocal prowess, The Prowlers deliver bluegrass with an edge.
Michael Jonas And Wayward Mountaineers
Formerly known as The Michael Jonas Band, Michael Jonas and Wayward Mountaineers is rooted deep in the tradition of bluegrass but is not afraid to explore the influences of Jazz, Rock, and World Music. The WMs have a fresh original approach to new acoustic music.

Wed 10.6 – C.D.C. presents RESO
dubstep / breaks / d&b / future beats
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $15 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
The Columbian Dubstep Cartel Presents:
~RESO~
(TFA/Household)
Reso is simultaneously moving a whole spectrum of electronic genres forward while further cementing his place as the overlord of hi-tech dubstep. With Reso wobble, hypercrunk, breaks, wonky, hip-hop and D n B all receive the treatment. Reso’s deep musicality, incredible skill, intricate programming and wildly diverse references place him at the peak of a new breed of electronic producers.
The sonic counterpart to roaring robotic futurism, Reso’s hybrid of rising ambience, hyper beats and speaker busting tech-basslines feels more suited to a post apocalyptic Tokyo than the contemporary concrete of most Dubstep. A truly inspiring experience his music’s mech-mania induced synthesesia conjures images of neon-tinged neo-Japanese cityscapes, powerful hulking automatons and violent bassline machismo.
After killer 12inches « If Ya Can’t Beat Em » and « Heavy Arms EP » (both on Civil Music) and a host of remixes from Wiley, the Qemists to Crookers through Drop The Lime, Reso kicked off 2010 with a bang. His 2x12inch Temjin EP opens his new musical worlds to the wider electronic audience and rewards the playstation generation, loyal club kids and seasoned steppers who go wild for Reso’s productions already. Reso’s diverse references will draw fans from all realms of the electronic spectrum. Emotive and unique, Reso’s new rhythmic possibilities and perfectly chaotic programming make this essential for fans of Dubstep through Techno to IDM, from Skream to Thom Yorke to Rustie via Bukem.
As Reso moves towards his debut album for Civil Music due early 2011 he’s dropped his “In Da Mix” CD on Z-Audio, joined the Hospital Records Family to showcase his genre redefining DnB skills with Slap Chop and squeezed in Remixes for Drop the Lime, Foamo, Qemists and dEbruit amongst others.
Currently busy preparing his Live show (in between touring the USA and Europe). His sonic take over is surely underway.

Sun 10.3 – KING KHAN & THE SHRINES
psychedelic / savage R&B / hardcore
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $15 ($3 minor surcharge)
*Tickets are available at the door after 8pm night of show.
Who is this manic Master of Ceremonies who openly confesses to the two grand black bohemians said to be lunatic Sun Ra and George Clinton, and whose stagings certainly remind us of a young Herman Sonny Blount and his Solar Arkestra? In 1995 Khan leaves the frosty soil of the city of Montreal playing the bass for the International-Underground-Legends THE SPACESHITS. The band is produced by Mike Mariconda with a special guest appearance from the Fabulous Andy G (Devil Dogs). Khan founds the secret lodge of the KUKAMONGAS. During the oncoming years Khan tours across the States. Detroit, New Orleans, New York City, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Tijuana etc. Khan doesn’t return from the first Spaceshits-Europe-Tour in summer of 1999. In Germany the young 22-year old Canadian founds a Psychedlic-Soul-Big-Band THE SENSATIONAL SHRINES. The first line-up includes Ron Streeter (live-percussionist of Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau and other Soul-Legends), as well as a horn section of rowdy teenagers, and a rhythm section which can only be called a german/french version of the Freak Brothers. Khan meets Fredovitch (Bordeaux’s wildest organ player) wearing a silverstudded gogo dress, matching cowboy hat and sporting a full beard. He dubs him into shrinehood only one week before recording their first album in Toe Rag Studio in London. THREE HAIRS & YOU’RE MINE is produced by Liam Watson. THE SHRINES grow into an all-star international movement. Their first concert in London is suspended by the police. The band escapes through the back-door. Numerous gigs will follow all across Europe, among others with the Demolition Dollrods, Mr.Quintron and Ms. Pussycat, an after-party for 50 cent, even a legendary stint at the Roskilde festival. In 2003 Khan encounters the Hazelwood-producers-team Gordon “Two Horses” Friedrich and Wolfgang “Amadeus” Gottlieb, who stage the second longplayer MR. SUPERNATURAL in the beginning of 2004.

Sat 10.2 – STANTON MOORE TRIO plus ANDERS OSBORNE
STANTON MOORE TRIO plus ANDERS OSBORNE
2 Sets of Funk & Soul!
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $15 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
Born and raised in New Orleans , Stanton Moore is a dedicated drummer and performer especially connected to the city, its culture and collaborative spirit. Driven and inspired by the thriving music scene of his hometown which includes such greats as Professor Longhair, Doctor John and The Meters, Moore ’s name is now mentioned amongst these Big Easy mainstays.
In the early ‘90s, Moore helped found the New Orleans-based essential funk band Galactic. Their first album, 1996’s widely acclaimed Coolin’ Off, led to an intense tour schedule of nearly 200 gigs a year for the next ten years. Building on their fan base by adding an esteemed list of all-star collaborations to the six albums that followed, Galactic continues to amass a worldwide audience via recording and touring globally.
In April 2010, Moore releases Groove Alchemy. The 12-track set is the culmination of Moore’s multimedia project that also includes an instructional book and DVD of the same name. All three facets of the project are designed to explore the roots of funk drumming by examining the work of pioneers like Jabo Starks, Clyde Stubblefield, and Zigaboo Modeliste – each of whom made their mark at different times throughout the 1960s as the engines driving James Brown’s and the Meters’ legendary rhythm sections –
and in turn tracing their influences back to the rhythms coming out of New Orleans in the earlier part of the 20th century.

Fri 10.1 – TAKE (of Brainfeeder/FlyLO)
w/ Goodness Gracious, Heezy, and The Mohawk
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $7 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
As the electronic music world lifts an interested eyebrow towards the West Coast’s burgeoning “Beat Scene,” Take aka Sweatson Klank has risen to the top as one of the new generation’s finest producers. In a musical landscape that is quickly becoming overcrowded, Take fuses his own brand of future-flung electronics with elements of avant-garde jazz, subharmonic melodies and a mean hip hop bounce.
Check out a video of Take’s record release party at Low End Theory in L.A.
A multi-instrumentalist and frequency fanatic with ten years of releases and live performance experience, Take’s formula is ever evolving and his productions clearly sprinkled with his unique sonic vocabulary. Constantly growing, Take uses engaging melodies, non-linear development and a multi-strata slump to communicate a fresh feeling of movement in every track. Embracing his geographic legacy in the thriving LA experimental beat community but still very much his own player, Take makes music that charts its own course through a gurgling fuzz of rich layers and textures. His sound has always been about pushing forward, breaking ground and laying a new path for producers to walk.
Goodness Gracious is the latest project from the mind of Mike Fitzsimons (from Digital Movement / Fitz & Dan). Fitz has been hard at work in the studio, creating new tracks with guitar, synth, and Ableton production. Check out what he’s working on at his website below; and come out October 1st to see and hear the tracks in full effect. There will be live guitar, bass, synth, and laptop DJ’ing.

Wed 9.29 – Folk, Blues, and Burlesque!
Loyal Family presents a night of folk, blues and burlesque at 2720 Cherokee..
Featuring music by Zoe Boekbinder (of Vermillion Lies) and Rum Drum Ramblers. Plus 3 unique burlesque shows with Lola Van Ella, Sammich the Tramp, and Gravity Plays Favorites.
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+
$7 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
Zoe Boekbinder was born sometime, someplace, and there are some interesting things to say about her. Zoe is a speakeasy lounge singer performing at Fraggle Rock. She is “geek-glam”, music for people who wear sequins to the library.
In 2005, Zoe formed a band called Vermillion Lies with her sister, Kim Boekbinder. This twisted folk cabaret duo traveled the world charming audiences with their comedic songs. They headlined venues like The Great American Music Hall (SF) and Circo de Braga (Portugal) and played with bands like The Dresden Dolls and The Ditty Bops. Being fiercely dedicated to music, Zoe began releasing her more personal material under her own name. In 2007, she released a seven song EP and toured the nation. Since then Zoe has been molding her style and is now ready to take over the world, with guitar and loop pedal in hand, one geek at a time.
What does dirty punk rock and down-home delta blues have in common? In short, the genres both reflect “struggle music.” That being said, it is no surprise that the three stalwart gentlemen that form the Rum Drum Ramblers were once mohawk sporting, studded jacket donning, snot-nosed punk rockers in much of their high school youth. Trading drums for a “jingle-foot” and power chords for finger picking, the Ramblers have spent the past year bridging the gap between punk and blues. In good holding with the DIY attitude of the punk philosophy, the trio would just as soon perform on a street corner as they would a concert venue. Regardless of where you may find them, the first clue that you’ve stumbled upon a Rum Drum Ramblers performance will be the manic frenzy of the crowd.
BURLESQUE:
Lola van Ella is an international burlesque starlet who will sing, dance and giggle her way into your heart. She is an often cheeky, but always sexy performer who is showcased all over St. Louis and beyond. With a sultry voice, devastating shimmy, and flirtatious smile; this adventurous ecdysiast has garnered a lot of attention and the tagline “The Derriere Beyond Compare”…come find out why!
Sammich the Tramp aka Hammy Sammy is a wandering hobo and lovable scamp. When not hopping trains and dancing for her/its dinner, Sammich performs all over the country with all kinds of fancy people. Sammich regularly appears with The Oona Tramps, who have performed at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, and at the New Orleans, Best of Midwest and Toronto Burlesque Festivals. She also makes regular appearances with Michelle L’amour’s Belles and Whistles and in numerous Lola van Ella productions. As a solo performer Hammy Sammy performs frequently in St. Louis, Chicago, Bloomington, Kansas City, Denver, Las Vegas and with the Happy Humpy Traveling Medicine Show.
St. Louis socialites Katrina Dohl (aliases include Katrina the Red; Kate the Great) and Michelle Mynx (aka Michelle Gravity) have been flying high across the nation as Gravity Plays Favorites for over three years. With their unique combination of sexy burlesque and athletic acrobatism (with an occasional rock and roll twist), these girls have, (together with thier trusty pole, Dickie) quickly ascended the ranks of performers to become one of the top billed acts in such events as The New York Burlesque Festival, Cabaret Verdalet in San Fransisco, La Biblioteque in lovely Gotenburg, Sweden, and at Las Vegas’ Burlesque Hall of Fame. The Gravity Girls perform locally at The Pagaent, Off Broadway, The Contemporary Arts Museum, The City Museum, Mad Art Gallery, Novak’s, and occasionally at Rue 13 with The Alley Cat Revue.

Sat 9.25 – Telepath
world-beat / electronic
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / 18+ / $10 ($3 minor surcharge) / Buy Tickets
Music is a collective language. It can bring a sense of community among strangers, regardless of language, nationality, or beliefs. It can provide the listener an environment for creative thought and unrestrained emotion. It can manifest the beauty of people and cultures who may be thousands of miles apart. The music of Telepath strives to do all of this. Formed in 2006 and hailing from Philadelphia PA via Asheville NC, Telepath is a unique new expression in the current live and electronic music scenes. The 3-piece comprised of keyboards, bass and drums use a wide variety of self-created samples containing Indian and Arabic singers and musicians, Afrobeat-influenced horn lines, dubbed-out effects, and much more to generate the multi-layered sound that is Telepath. Extensively touring in support of their debut album Fire One (2006), Telepath has played to passionate audiences at theaters, clubs, and festivals around the country. Now, with the September 2008 release of their second album ContactTelepath continues the development of a loyal and ever-growing fan base, as well as their commitment to creating a positive and inspiring environment both on record, and in live performance.

Doors 8pm Show 9pm / $15 / 18+ ($3 minor surcharge)
HD4000:
HD4000 is actually two people: Odeed and Wish. After producing breaks together under various aliases since 2003, they discovered dubstep one evening in San Francisco – playing breaks at a underground party for a close friend of theirs. Odeed and Wish were the only act that night that wasn’t playing dubstep, and after their set, they stayed to hear wh…at it was all about. They were pretty impressed, then after hearing some of 6Blocc’s tunes they decided to give it a go and made their first song as HD4000, “Guess Who”. The name HD4000 was inspired by the latest addition to their dual studios – the MPC4000, which replaced the MPC2000XL they used to sequence on. One of the main differences is that the new MPC has an internal hard drive, and so Hard Drive 4000 = HD4000. They received a lot of good feedback about “Guess Who” and continued making dubstep, eventually finding themselves up in the chat room of dubstep.fm with the radio deejays playing the newest tunes from HD4000. Before they knew it, Odeed and Wish had produced enough songs to compile HD4000’s first album, Nu-Step, and to their surprise, it became the number 1 downloaded dubstep album on Juno. They have releases out on several labels such as Filthy Digital, Dubstep Records, Left Side Recordings and their home label, W.E. Recordings. Artists they have worked with include some of the hottest producers in dubstep such as Kid Logic, The Widdler, Blackheart, Mr. Curtamos, Hellfire Machina, MK2, J Suave, Joint Forces, Caustik, Twitchdubs, and VoodooSteamBoat.
Now HD4000 has their own weekly show on dubstep.fm – Hits from the Hard Drive at 5pm PST on Sundays. Check it out, and join in with the dubstep.fm family in the chat room!

Since forming in January of 2008, this duo has gone from rocking local house parties …to touring the country and performing alongside their musical heroes. And with nothing pre-recorded and nothing sampled, every show is a completely unique experience as they reach for new levels of improvisation. While The Floozies are certainly eclectic, one thing that can be counted on is that every show is a party. With lasers. And aliens. Their album, “Live: Volume 1,” is a testament to their unique musical approach. It contains 21 tracks from shows all over the country and is a free download from flooziesduo.com. So come cleanse yourself in the waters of their synth-hop-electro travelling funk circus and be awakened by music that is truly created in the moment…

VibeSquaD is the multi-personality brainchild of Aaron Holstein. With releases on NativeState, Proboscis, Interchill, Muti, and Sonic Dragon (Hong Kong) in 2007 alone VibeSquad is quickly emerging as a top producer in the west coast US electronic music scene. Both 2007 EPs “Return of The Pudding People” & “Songs to Accompany Dance Move: The Worm” have been making there way around the globe showing up in DJ’s sets and ca…using serious mayhem on dancefloors. Though his legendary live sets may cause whiplash and heart attacks in the unsuspecting bystander, those prepared to launch get much more than they bargained for. Aaron’s music defies typical genre-labels and covers tempos from slow’n hard lowriding krunkadelics to mid-tempo barnstormers all in a seamlessly flowing soulful mash- dirty and beautiful as life itself. Aaron also plays bass/keys for the bands ZILLA (w/ Michael Travis & Jamie Janover) & SPORQUE (w/Ooah & Jamie Janover).

Swarming guitar fuzz, bass waves, Jana Hunter’s voice, and insistent drum throbs are the core components of Baltimore ’s Lower Dens. Hunter, sometimes known for intimate, ghost-heavy weird-fi, is now writing and playing with a group that might get filed as new wave, or drone pop, or post-punk. With due deference to her solo work, we’re very glad.
Lower Dens formed in 2009, when Hunter set about finding a full-time band. They spen…t the rest of the year sweating in attics and basements, and only stepped out of the shadows to do a quick tour and record. Twin-Hand Movement was recorded by Chris Freeland (ex-Oxes drummer; proprietor of Beat Babies, Baltimore), mixed by Chris Coady (at his DNA, NYC), and mastered by Sarah Register (of the Lodge, NYC and the band Talk Normal.)
They’ll tour this summer, first through the US with hometown friends Future Islands and then again and again, and everywhere.

A Pato Banton concert is an event not to be missed and an experience not to be forgotten.
Positive Vibrations abound with a beat to keep you on your dancing feet, while Pato delivers a message that is food for the mind and soul. Many have considered his charismatic performance as live theatre where no show is alike and audience members become participants in the experience. Pato dialogues with the crowd on a range of topics inclu…ding current day events and spiritual freedom while keeping the vibes upbeat and fun! The direction of the concert is totally based on the feedback Pato receives from the audience as there is no fixed set list. Many have said that the positivity
generated from the stage has changed their lives forever. Sometimes Pato invites his fans to join him in a prayer circle after the show, where some have cried while sharing their stories of contemplated suicide, isolation after losing a loved one, struggles with substance abuse and how their personal connection with Pato has given them the strength to “Stay Positive” & “Never Give In.”
Pato Banton and The Now Generation are making their way across the country spreading the Good News and uplifting the masses with a warm message of love and positivity that Pato has been known for bringing to his audiences around the world. Be sure to catch this all new high energy showcase and become a part of The Now Generation.

Collie Buddz, from the isle of Bermuda, has done something not impossible but something once seemingly very implausible. He’s become the most buzz-worthy current Reggae artist over the past few years. In the summer, 2007, Collie Buddz’ Columbia Records self-titled debut album stormed the charts entering the Billboard Reggae Chart at first position. The Reggae singjay became an international star when this album then went on to d…ebut across the world at the top of every chart from Japan to Germany.
Incorporating influences from Hip-Hop to Soca, Collie’s music nevertheless has a rock-solid foundation in Reggae – and its power to connect ghetto reality with the highest heights of human aspiration – that is a rarity even in Jamaica . But, to say he’s connected to the Caribbean community would be an understatement. Collie Buddz, born Colin Harper, has become the Caribbean culture’s resident ambassador.

Jody Shires and Tom Williams collectively had over 60 releases under their belts, along with production work for grammy nominated artists, numerous UK top ten remixes, 5 Breakspoll Awards, Best International Dj in the Spanish EDM awards 3 years running and a history in bass culture that is second to none..

With residencies at New Yorks legendary Club Love, Darkroom in Brooklyn and Psychadelic Radio in SF, it’s no wonder these guys are in high demand. Their weekly radio show on dubstepfm has gone from strength to strength and has helped push the awareness of bass music across the globe as well as providing a platform to hear the latest Hellfire creations first, often in early stages as they are delevoped in their now famously named studio Planet Twisted. Ending last year with A and R and project management credits for the Wu Tang ‘Enter The Dubstep’ album and a string of singles and remixes, they have hit the ground running in 2010. A fresh batch of releases due to hit the streets imminently, a new label project with techno legend Lenny Dee in the works as well as the next chapter in the infamous BASS FUELED MISCHIEF parties in their homebase of NYC.

THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO UNFORTUNATE & LAST MINUTE ISSUES. WE APOLOGIZE SINCERELY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED. WE HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT TO 2720 AGAIN SOON!
Bass Science started in the summer of 2007 as 2-man Live P.A., making
Dub-hop / Glitch step bass music, fusing dubstep, glitch hop, IDM and
dub into a fresh new sound that is simultaneously filthy and extremely
clean. In less than a year since their inception, they have created a
prolific body of work and electrified dance floors across the globe:
call it glitchstep, call it dubhop, call it what you will, Bass
Science’s hybrid sounds are generating a cabinet-rattling buzz. In the
past 2 years they’ve dazzled crowds at seminal festivals and clubs
from UK’s Glade to LA’s Low End Theory, with globetrotting gigs
spanning Asia, Europe and the US and sharing stages with STS9, Flying
Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Eliot Lipp, and more. Bass Science’s tracks,
meanwhile, have received enthusiastic support from influential DJs
like the BBC’s Mary Anne Hobbs and Annie Nightingale, Resonance FM’s
Nick Luscombe, with regular rotation on Dubstep.FM. 2010 is a changing
of an era for Bass Science. Captained by Mattb, Bass Science has
transformed from the live p.a. set of the past into a live hybrid act
with the inclusion of Devin Landau, a drummer native of Chicago, IL.
Rooted in jazz, funk, hip-hop, punk, and dnb, one could expect a
complete transition from the day-to-day “dj experience” into something
more rocking than your senses are ready for. He can stomp it out, and
slap it around, all in the blink of an eye. The new live set covers
all the bases, with material from Mattb, Bass Science, and RND,
melding a live experience with flavors of deep, rootsy dub,
gangster-ass glitch, and banging low-end dubstep. Don’t turn your back
on us, because Bass Science will continue to blow up, and not just the
sound systems.

FUR began in 2008 as Bryce Isbell’s solo effort with the intention of developing into an experimental, poly-collaborative electronic project consisting of Isbell’s friends and musical peers. As of 2010, FUR added a new member, Gray Saint Germain Gideon, previously of Ghosthustler. With the heartfelt notion that music is the purest form of self-expression, Fur’s music is sheer autobiographical abstraction.
Having received excellent reviews from the likes of Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, Pitchfork Media, Gorilla vs. Bear, and other glowing press reviews from around the world. Fur’s talent, drive and infectiously unique sounds create an endless list of possibilities for the band. FUR is currently wrapping up recording their Freak Emotion EP and a split album with newly minted Dublin producers; Planet Mu’s Solar Bears, and will begin their West Coast tour in July, 2010.

“Dumpstaphunk is the best funk band from New Orleans right now.” -New York Times
Formed in 2003, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk was initially put together by keyboardist Ivan Neville on a whim in order to perform a solo gig at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Ivan called in cousin Ian Neville (guitar), the double-bass bottom of both Nick Daniels and Tony Hall, and drummer Raymond Weber to round out the show. Named after a song Ivan had recently written, Dumpstaphunk’s informal performance became that of immediate legend. The project has since grown from chance side-project into what is now widely considered to be New Orleans’ most popular musical export. The band was recently voted 2007’s “New Orleans Best Funk Band” by both Offbeat Magazine and Gambit Weekly, and performs at some of the nation’s largest music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Voodoo Fest, 10,000 Lakes, and High Sierra.

Ott’s most recent album ‘Blumenkraft’ really is over the top in quality, depth and shining brilliance. Spacey strings, chants, otherworldly noises and pertinent samples collide with his massive rub-a-dub beats and bass. Ott’s music is a world to it’s own, a pure undiluted atmospheric world of swirling stoned sound and colour. Indian to Arabic to African Ott’s dub’s are boundary-less and boundless in their scope and strength. Ott’s music is a paradox of dub, not stereotypically slow heavy sounds but at once an upbeat dancey dub full of light, world chants and funky beats, while still maintaining a slow and relaxed ambient groove. Blumenkraft is a selection of clean hard grooves and the best dub studio skills, echo, delay, phasing, instruments popping up out of the murk and then submerging again, particular skills of which Ott is a maestro.

Formed over 10 years ago, Cornmeal hasgrown from humble beginnings into a nationally recognized live music institution. 10 years together is no simple task these days, especially when the last five have seen the band spending over half the year on the road. Heavily influenced by American roots and folk music, Cornmeal blends lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies into an unrivaled live performance that continues to expand upon the five-piece acoustic-electric groups’ vast musical repertoire. While steeped in the tradition of the past, Cornmeal continues to forge their own path, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. With a rapidly growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of the bluegrass sound and live performance.
In the beginning of 2010, Cornmeal released their first live album, Live in Chicago, IL Vol. I, an album that pays tribute to the fans. For the first six years, Cornmeal performed each and every Wednesday in Chicago to small yet loyal crowds. Throughout the winters of 2007-2009, Cornmeal returned to Chicago to pay homage to that tradition. The album is for the fans as a thank you for all the years of dedication, for believing in Cornmeal, and for creating a wonderful community for them to come home to. The album was recorded live throughout the winter of 2009 at Martyrs’ in Chicago, IL. Unlike Cornmeal’s three previous albums, Live in Chicago, IL Vol. I captures the band in its raw, intense format, bouncing through song after song of fast paced, fierce originals and extensive improvised jams that showcase the immense talent and connectivity that have gained them so much fan appeal from coast to coast. cornmealinthekitchen.com

+ BARGO
+ Thielo Barovelli
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / $12 / 18+
The band formed in 1997 and began DJing in 1999. Way back when there was a huge barrier between rock kids and “ravers.” Now the mixture of those two has produced a species known as “hipsters” and apparently it’s safe to DJ anywhere now. That’s a good thing because in 1999, they were ridiculed by rock kids for liking “techno,” even though at that time they were spinning disco and french house. They still spin that stuff along with rock and electro house. It just depends on the night and the crowd. They like to actually match beats and have great respect for other DJ’s who do the same whether it’s on vinyl or computer.

Emancipator + J Public + L Dude
8pm Doors / 9pm Show / $8adv-$10dos / 18+
His agile melodies layered over headnodic, immaculately-produced beats captivated fans across the internet and across the world. “Soon It Will Be Cold Enough” was picked up by Japanese super-producer Nujabes, pressed in Japan and sold 5,000 copies in the first six months. Emancipator landed a Puma sponsorship, gave an interview to Rolling Stone Japan, discovered one of his songs was played at the Beijing Olympics (still trying to figure out how that happened) and his song “Shook,” a mashup that perfectly mixes Mobb Deep’s mighty raps with a haunting track from the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, become the highest-rated song on Hype Machine’s “Best 50 Songs of 2007,” and appeared on Hype Machine as the #2 most popular song in April 2009.
His latest album “Safe In The Steep Cliffs” blends new instrumentation and organic samples with the signature Emancipator style of clean production, silky melodies and addictive drums. Dense layers of choirs, horns, American folk instruments such as the banjo and mandolin, violin and some distinct Asian influences make for a playful but refined album built out of intricate tracks listeners can enjoy on as many levels as they want. Dance to it, chill out to it, immerse your mind in it.

Psychedelic Stereo Tour w/ MiMOSA feat. Epcot

Mimosa takes listeners on a journey through warm rhythmic sound-scapes, with melodies and vocal samples smoothly crafted to help navigate the sonic terrain. Using basslines inspired by hip-hop classics like Too Short and Dr Dre, combined with deep psychedelic textures reminiscent of the downtempo and midtempo output by Tipper and Bluetech, Mimosa blends the range of styles to create his own fresh take on the west coast sound. Mimosa’s debut EP release, Hostilis, presents tracks with heavy-hitting low frequencies, sexy grooves, and uplifting dub infusions, floating between instrumental Hip Hop and Dubstep.

Wintergreen 2009. 17 Small Companies. 1 Bigger Holiday Party.
The concept is still the same – pooling the resources and guest lists of 17 sustainably minded companies to host a wildly fabulous holiday party. New for 2009, we’ve moved to a bigger venue on Cherokee street, double the number of bands, quadrupled the number of bathrooms and pushed back the time just a bit. It is one bigger holiday party with 17 times the fun. We’re still not going to let a weak economy dampen our holiday spirits…or yours. http://wintergreenstl.com
