Lazer Sword:

Lazer Sword is a San Francisco-based live electronic act and production duo at the forefront of an emerging sound - a future music - fusing anything from rap, electro, dubstep, and grime together to form a new kind of club experience.  On stage, Lazer Sword is a hands-on affair, evolving further with every performance.  Atypical of most DJ/producer sets, Lazer Sword performs the material to the audience as a highly improvised live production showcase. Tride and true dance music with a flare for the boom-bap. Due to their wide palette of influences and styles (the two share a love for all things hip hop, disco, phsychedelic rock, electro, early synthesizer music, ghettotech, etc.), Lazer Sword can be found performing amongst many diverse line-ups.  Often custom-preparing their set for each specific occasion, they’ve built themselves a name as a uniquely versatile act when it comes to booking.  They have shared the stage with such acts as Flying Lotus, Megasoid, Eliot Lipp, MSTRKRFT, Trackademics, The Cool Kids, Chromatics, The Glitch Mob, Ghislain Poirier, Kid 606, Bassnectar, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, The Gaslamp Killer and Cobra Krames.  Recently showcased on Mary Anne Hobbs’ distinguished BBC Radio 1 Experimental show, the duo has just finished a European tour, headlining shows in cities such as London, Amsterdam, and Paris.

Rainbow Arabia:

Quickly following up their acclaimed debut “The Basta” the LA duo releases their next offering “Kabukimono” July 28th. More varied in color and tone, Kabukimono finds the group expanding on the template laid down with their debut “The Basta” equally inspired by Sublime Frequencies comps, Factory Records, Congotronics adding many new tropical, African, and Eastern flourishes to their latest material. Co-produced by Pit Er Pat’s Butchy Fuego the 7 track mini-album features 5 new recordings and two remixes from Brenmar (Bill Salas from These Are Powers) and the future bass, electro-crunked out stylings of SF’s Ghosts On Tape(also playing this show!).

“Someone really liked Gang Gang Dance’s last album. Oh, us. Which is why we like this Rainbow Arabia track from their forthcoming Kabukimono, with it’s ice synths, desert hand drums and oud-ish guitar.” The FADER
“Rainbow Arabia tread curiously close to the sounds of hip-hop acts like M.I.A. and Santogold. But with freewheelin’ ideals, punk urgency, and Middle Eastern-inspired instrumentation, Rainbow Arabia manage to find a tone all their own.” SPIN.com
“Kaleidoscopic, intoxicated dance music made out of dervish rhythms, snakish melodica, and percussion procured from the labyrinthine corridors of some smoky souk.” Guardian UK

Hecuba:

Hecuba is Isabelle Albuquerque and Jon Beasley. Their phenomenal debut LP Paradise seamlessly embraces avant-pop, classical/electronic minimalism, and club/dance music transforming it into something captivating, beautiful, and otherworldly strange; catching the ear of Bat for Lashes who took them on tour this past June. Look out for more exciting music and video from this INCREDIBLE husband and wife duo!

“Hecuba opens your eyes, literary and emotionally…this uncategorizable band belongs to museums, to happenings, to clubs, and to theaters; it is familiar as the past but takes you into the future.” LA Weekly
“Have you heard much post-minimalism by Philip Glass? It’s all separation and dissection, one moment in time isolated and distributed across space. A premise gets broken into its simplest parts. An occurrence becomes a sentence then dissolves into syllables, and inherently breaks further still, until we arrive at the absolute of precision: beats. Glass would love Hecuba’s debut album Paradise. He’d want to slice it into a million pieces and decorate a tree with it.” LA Record

Ghosts on Tape:

Having recently done remixes for Rainbow Arabia, Lemonade and more…this up and coming SF producer is doing his thing! Here’s what he has to say: i do a live PA with no laptops on some janky ass ghetto equipment that no one would be caught dead using in the 21st century. somehow its working out ok for me. the sound is like electro-dancehall-crunk-reggaeton-turbo grime-tropical bootie-psychedelic-trax era chicago house-speed garage-miami bass-with lots of synthetic hand claps on basically every song. i think.”
