It's an exchange event between producers in a creative environment. We invite music producers/beatmakers to attend and participate at Sol Collective Gallery once per month. It's very laid back and informal but the result is raw and inspiring.
We have a soundsystem set up with a dj who plays one to three tracks that each producer brings. The producer introduces the track and and drops the beat. Sometimes the producers describe the production and equipment used. Others just play their music and let it go.
The focus is on the production with an audience of music heads and musicians. Producers can also bring musicians and or m.c.'s to accompany their tracks. We encourage live creations and input/feedback but the producer has the control. The result is inspiration and live collaborations.
This is not an open mic event but we do open the floor at the end for m.c.'s and musicians to flow over their favorite beats.
Hip Hop, Downtempo, Dub, Electronic and pretty much anything cats want to share.
Who I'd like to meet: 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Illmind, Madlib, Kev Brown, Dilla (RIP) Pete Rock
