And away we go! I am happy to partner with The Free Lve Collective and Jeremy Aasgari for this wiz-bang of a show for CMJ 2011. It’s an official CMJ show, and it’s free. Just RSVP.
A couple of reference points for some of the names you see below:
King Fantastic: DJ Troublemaker (Josh Madden/Z-Trip cohort) is the producer and Killer Reese (Blue Collar) is the MC. It’s dubstep influenced rap act. Check their videos. Amazing stuff.
Navegante: An electronic rock act with dubstep and electro elements.
Trouble Andrew: Professional Snowboarder, partier and Santigold’s hubby. This dude has elements of rock, punk, hip-hop and electronic in his music.
Steven A. Clark: (see the next post down)
Rocky Business : They fuse indie rock with electronic dance and hip-hop, plus some rhymes.
ASAP Rocky: He’s the “IT” rapper from NYC right now. Plain and simple, this dude has a huge buzz, and an energetic show.
Adam Tensta: He’s one of the biggest rappers in Sweden, and raps over electronic beats of all kinds.
Albert Vargas: Smoothed out folky r&b style
DJ Wonder: Morning DJ for Shade 45’s Sirius/XM’ show
DJ Getlive: Homebase NYC, Midnight Rockers Express, Good Fridays, Red Bull 3-Style NYC Champ
DJ Synapse: He’s not worth discussing.
As you can see, it’s a varied lineup, and the whole flow was designed by me, and will build in energy throughout the night with the help of our house DJs.
Come witness a show that flows.
