The pool area has a stage and some BBQ pits as well. The 2nd stage will be on the other side of the building, in a roped off parking lot. The volleyball court becomes our graffiti exhibition area.

THE PEOPLE OF METROPOLIS ARE KIND ENOUGH TO LET US DO THIS, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE PROPERTY AND DO NOT VANDALIZE ANYTHING. NO GLASS CONTAINERS ALLOWED.

Exploded Drawing XI :: A Quick Recap

Posted on January 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

For those that missed it, Exploded Drawing XI was AMAZING. It truly is rare to see that many people gather regularly strictly to show appreciation for producers and DJs. Many props to soundfounder and Butcher Bear for putting together an event of this nature, and having the ability to make it successful. Here are some of the highlights I was able to capture:

I was unable to record any video of my set, but I have made the set available for download… and believe me, it’s worth it. A nice stream of consciousness I call Freedom Talk 100.

Friday the 13th :: Exploded Drawing XI

Posted on January 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

(from the digital Facebook desk of Exploded Drawing)

A monthly event in Austin for electronic music composers, sound collectors, and beat makers to perform their work in a comfortable atmosphere with a good sound system. Originality is encouraged and will be cherished.

Exploded Drawing: A night of electronic composers, sound collectors. and beat makers. Six 20 minute sets from six different musicians performing their own musical creations using whatever tools they like. 5$ donation helps us provide a good sound system, adult beverages, and an earful of brand new sounds.
In case you’re wondering, the name Exploded Drawing is a reference to a similar beat night that existed in LA called Sketchbook. In it’s hay day, Sketchbook, organized by ‘Dublab-Rat’ Kutmah, had many noteworthy beat makers come through including Prefuse 73, Madlib, Take, Ras G, Flying Lotus, J-Dilla, Daedelus and many more. That night helped to spawn the now world-famous weekly event in LA known as The Low End Theory. We’re hoping to continue that creative, forward thinking, perspective that made Sketchbook and The Low End Theory such a wonderful, unusual success.

Exploded Drawing XI features performances from :

Computer Jay (Los Angeles/Stones Throw Records)
Lo Phi (Austin)
Doldrums (Toronto)
Chief The Doomsday Device (Austin/San Marcos)
Anna Love (Austin)
Selva Oscura (Austin)

Butcher Bear plays records at 9pm, Live Sets start at 10

Hosted by soundfounder and Butcher Bear

Hope to see everyone out there!
