NYC:: AUG 3:: SUB SWARA 021:: SS vs FREEK FACTORY + Guests

[vanita]

Yes Yes! For our last installment of the summer (we'll be back in October for our 2 Year Anniversary Bash!!) we've put together another family affair, this time blessed with a transatlantic influx and kinetic urban heat. For all you burners, here's a little pre-Playa session to to get you hyped for Black Rock City!

Sub Swara and Freek Factory Live square off for Round 2 of the ongoing bass-borough battle of the live soundsystems. The dubstep/future-dancehall/turn-tabla stylings of the Sub Swara live set meets the Balkan-laced/glitch-hopped/freestylinz of Free Factory Live. Plus, very special guest, Gabriel (Heatwave UK), will be swinging through from London to drop a guaranteed ace mix of dancehall/dub/roots hotness on NYC. (Check out a link to one of Heatwave's sick mixes at www.scandalbag.com/bestival).

And we've got something extra fresh to kick off the night as the Kinetic Junglist Movement blows open the doors with their signature jaw-dropping mix of African dance and Capoeira with an urban twist of Pop n' Lock, House, Vogue and Jungle dance.

Doors open at 9 PM on this one so get in early to take it all in and don't miss out on discounted advance tickets (available through www.brownpapertickets.com/event/17595 )!
