division of labor.

myself and U>L>S>A are playing some noise/beats/imagery this friday at the division of labor festival at the lab in the san francisco mission... though personally i'm more excited about the rest of the lineup...

particularly streetwalker, and total accomplishment... i played with streetwalker some months back in new york at pendu disco... and they were fucking sick... and i've been listening to everything total accomplishment has up on their soundcloud fer like evs... i strongly suggest taking some decent acid, coming out, and having your mind blown.

"Division of Labor playfully examines experimental music, sound, performance, and DJ culture, bringing together distinctive artists and uniting diverse audiences from within The Lab’s innovative creative community and beyond. For the past 16 years, the Lab has occupied the Redstone Building—a landmark encapsulating a specific history of union organization and labor strikes. Division of Labor is inspired by the Redstone building's rich history and coincides with our annual juried exhibition, A floorless room without walls. The gallery ceiling serves as both site and subject of A floorless room without walls."

Kathleen Daniel uses software like DAZ3d and blender3d to make animations that combine her unique, free-form, hypnagogic R n B with disarmingly heartfelt and hilarious psychedelic technoscapes. 
We've selected a few of our favorites but it was pretty difficult to narrow it down. We highly recommend watching every single one on her website or youtube account.

keep the reaper off me

secretive producer U>L>S>A> is a recent arrival here in SF from London and a member of experimental electronic music projects, Shrieking Abscess and PoSE.

homie is also the new other author of this blog... as evidenced by this here mixtape the kid is absurdly talented and has taste.
glitch, treble, and static heavy... "keep the reaper off me" is like listening to a low signal internet podcast from a sick hip hop selector after smoking a sherm stick... and somehow an analog radio signal keeps bleeding through with news reports and classic country... and your tripping so hard that it all makes perfect sense... especially when it turns in to a slowed down trance room freak out.
basically shit is tight... download it... throw on some headphones... smoke a blunt... and go for a fuckin' walk.
