BIG UP all FACE MELTers who came out this past Friday! If you missed it or are just fiending for more, be sure to follow the party as we move to our new home Darkroom in April. Headlining is Los Angeles??? own King Fantastic (Troublemaker & Killer Reese One).. More info below!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 29th, 2011. Presented by Ground Lift Media, FACE MELT is a new monthly event series which showcases envelope-pushing artists on a local, national, and international level. The 2011 programming schedule includes Live Bands, Live PA sets, DJs/Turntablists, & Touring Acts spanning genres like Dubstep, Glitch, Electronic, Hip-Hop, and Beat-related. And if that???s not enough, the resident roster boasts some of Chicago???s finest talents ???Maker (Stonesthrow, Now-Again), Phaded (Dubfix), & DJ Intel (The Comeups, Platter Pirates). Hosted by ADaD (All Natural, Eulorhythmics).
Positioned to be the defining voice in a rapidly evolving musical environment, FACE MELT has a new home beginning in April 22nd at Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave. 9pm, $10, 21+) featuring live performances by King Fantastic (LA, Troublemaker & Killer Reese One), Void Pedal, & Mega Mike.
When talking about Hip-Hop or any of the countless genres it has influenced, it???s all about the beats. Even after a producer loops ???Amen Brother??? for the millionth time, it will always be about the beats. They???re the foundation of Hip-Hop, and the defining characteristic of any artist or genre claiming Hip-Hop as inspiration. And at FACE MELT, they???re the only thing that matters.
As if he???s already plotting to bring an MPC to his cousin???s quincea??era, Maker explains the underlying motivations of FACE MELT as ???a gathering of different styles, cultures, and scenes that are all related??? It???s like a family reunion but with hard ass drums.??? Simple enough concept but reading between the lines, you may want to consider ear plugs!
Produced in conjunction with Crowdnoize.com, Frank151 / Chicago Riders, & Do312.
