Thavius Beck Live at Holocene
Composer of mercurial soundtracks for uncertain times, Thavius Beck conjoins various strains of electronic music to arrive at a daringly ambitious sound. He recently joined a lineup of local artists to celebrate black electronic music and benefit KBOO at Holocene in Portland, Oregon.
Joining him were Rasheeda Ameera, Cheetah Finess, and Ayam in a night curated by KBOO's Deena B of The Soundbox. Listen to the whole set on the Free Music Archive.
Mr. Beck has received recognition in The Wire, Spin, and Urb for his solo releases under the moniker Adlib, the Labwaste project with fellow LA artist Subtitle, his recent production for fellow Mush artist K-The-I???, his early work with Global Phlowtations, numerous guest appearances, and producing for and touring in support of and accompanying Saul Williams. An exceptional programmer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist, Thavius Beck’s many talents allow him to take a song from idea to completion without ever having to leave his cluttered studio.

Show Me the Pink's Radical Magical Re-re-reunion!
Portland wouldn't let Show Me the Pink run away forever. With a return long overdue, the band performed at Branx with Bitchin' Summer and Full Face Riot.
The house was packed and by the time Show Me the Pink took to the stage the venue had been warmed up and flashing bicycle lights prepared the dancefloor.

Our first show after moving to Fridays will gave a sneak preview of the Beat Off battle at Holocene.
THE BEAT OFF is a live sample based beat battle. each beat maker has one hour to create a beat that is under three minutes long, and uses only the sounds provided.
On the show we had the battle's organizer, Erik Beats, along with 3 competitors of past beat offs: Dirty X Rated, The New Plastic, and Trick Assed Marxist.
We had a special treat with a live beat off battle on the air, where we played some samples for everyone to hear and then they all had less than 45 minutes to make their beats.
We also heard recordings of past beat off battles, and the work of some of the artists who have competed.
You can listen to interviews and the on-air beat battle here and the beat off battle at holocene recording can be listened to here.
