Stateless - Come Again!



Join us for the fifth Stateless this friday, May 26th. Our featured guest will be Kush Arora, a talented Bay Area producer and multi-instrumentalist who has been blowing up recently. One testament to this includes a b-side track on an upcoming Alpha and Omega release - featuring Juakali...

Check out this special dub - an exclusive to the roots and wires hi-fi:

audio stream

Kush's unique sound draws together Punjabi and Jamaican elements, with fierce programming and Kush on tumbi, algoze, double flutes, melodica, and percussion (as well as multiple other guest instrumentalists and vocalists)... On this particular track, Kush collaborates with MC Daddy Frank - Kingston meets Jalandhar dubwise!

Resident DJ's The Worker (Six Degrees, Stateless) and special agent k (Roots and Wires Hi-Fi, Stateless) will also drop extended sets. Expect some roots, dub and lover's rock from me early on, some afrojazz somewhere in the middle, and some dubstep and drum and bass as the night gets thick and sweaty...

A little further away is our 6-month anniversary - this Stateless will be an extra-special one... We will be featuring two live acts: Micropixie and Jeff Stott, founder of Embarka Records... We will also have video art from Sue Costabile, a photographer and video artist who works with a combination of analog and digital processes, doing "live improvisational video performances using a custom built system in the max/msp/jitter software environment"...

Hopefully I will also have my tablatronix setup in effect by then as well...

Coming back to the present, please join us this friday, May 26th, at Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th in SF's Mission District). The event starts at 9PM and goes until 2AM. The cover is only $5...
