Red
Bull Big Tune
Following in their tradition of giving opportunities to emerging
artists of every stripe, Red Bull Big Tune is a program created
to showcase the talents of established and emerging producers
and sound providers as they compete for the title of Big Tune
champion. They'll battle head to head through rounds of single
elimination competition, showing off the best they have to offer.
The last producer standing will be the Producer with the "Big

the biggest winner of the night will be you and the rest of the
crowd who get to witness what some of the hardest working and
brightest musical innovators have to offer. J-Rocc and Droop-E
are the featured guests, with Vitamin D, J.Moore and DJ DV One
in support. Date: Thurs 4/26, Place:

Monkey
If you know of Peter
Hudson, then you have probably been amazed by his art installations
at Burning Man, though his work has been featured in films, on
magazine covers, and at music festivals around the world. Hudson's
life-size stroboscopic zoetropes give the illusion of motion
to human forms through his use of light, leaving onlookers awestruck,
whether they are watching from the playa or from their computers
at home. Humouroboros is the name of the next masterpiece
Hudson is producing, and with your help, this benefit will bring the
piece to the playa this year. His work will be on display so you'll
enjoy the hex it tends to throw on your brain while you shake
it on the dancefloor to bringers of the noize, An-ten-nae, Anthony
Mansfield, Laird, Fred Funk, Syd Gris, Shissla, and many more
of our favorite SF beat jocks. You'll hear every sort of
beat pattern and bassline from this collection of talent, from
house tunes to breaks, hip-hop, Latin, and live beatboxing. Date:

Xzistance
on the Edge of Chaos
When the brand-spankin'-new 210
Studios opened its doors this March, they had two paintings
to offer visitors. Before you question whether owner Zack Hall
and director Jared Brick might have tried to curate a slightly
larger opening show, know this: The main piece is an 8 x 80 foot
painting created in a collaborative effort by three different
artists. Mr. MaxxMoses, Chor Boogie, and Joshua Mays' combined
talents resulted in a seamless, pulsating canvas of crisp graphics
and psychedelically-bright butterflies, woven into an undulating
and surreal landscape. Due to the popularity of the work, 210
Studios decided to keep the exhibit open indefinitely, and this,
along with local DJs, snacks, and donation-based beverages slated
to be present, is certainly good news for people who love art
news. Date: Saturday, 4/18, Time:
8 - 12pm, Place: 210 Studios, 210 Clara St.,

Pandora's
Trunk
It's the first anniversary celebration of Pandora's
Trunk, and they sure are infusing their regular bi-weekly
event with an increased party vibe and a highly celebratory spin.
The name of the night is Visual Vaudeville & Built Burlesque
so you can bet the fashion sample sale will feature sexy, hip,
and luxurious works by hot designers Miranda Caroligne, Bad Unkl
Sista, Medium Reality, and the inimitable Shannon Riley.
You'll come away with at least one garment of your very own, as
artist and screenprinter Marshall Adams, of Porcelynne fame, will
be there screen printing his designs live onto a shirt of your
choice. Kitten on the Keys will woo you with her piano performance
and sultry vocals, and you'll enjoy a gourmet feast, decked out
drinks, and hours of fabulously fashion-oriented chaos. Date:

KRS-One
is quite literally a living legend who has played the role of gangsta
rap pioneer, preacher, gritty producer, and now elder statesman of
a hip-hop universe he helped build from scratch. Regarded by many
as one of the greatest living rappers ever to hold a mic, he's been
referred to as "The Teacha" and "The Blastmaster". His status as a
cultural icon is reinforced by myriad crossover appearences with everyone
from Lyrics Born and Queen Latifah to R.E.M. and New York hardcore
band Sick Of It All. Always thought provoking and often controversial,
KRS-One is one of those performers you want to make sure you see at
some point in your life. (SG) |
