I AM A LASER, in conjunction with The Service Company (Destroy LA), is going LIVE with a new monthly event held in downtown Los Angeles at Club Nokia’s Mezzanine Bar every second Thursday! These nights will be happening in conjunction with the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk event.

The intent of these live events is to merge several West Coast scenes into one experience seamlessly -the unified culture of cutting edge exploration and expression that they all are. Every month we will combine various amounts of  bass heavy glitch, dubstep, electro, urban hip hop, indie, and gypsy for your pleasure -along with live art painting and who knows what else. Our first one kicks off November 12th. Peep the “deets” below and come to the show!

r/d

R/D is a Sound Designer, Music Producer, DJ and Label owner. He gained notoriety in the late 90’s as the Founder of the Experimental Liquor Museum (E.L.M.); a Los Angeles based collective of DJ’s that spear-headed the local experimental music scene with their renowned underground electro parties. RD has released music on 1320 Records (US), TouchinÕ Bass (UK), Colony Productions (UK) and his own label; The Designed Disorder (US). Although he is best known for his unique brand of glitched-out electro, in recent years his sound has slowed in tempo, morphing into futuristic funk with an all-out hip-hop core, devastating sub-lines and tweaked melodies that combine to rock crowds and tickle brains.

LC aka Mr. NumberOnederful

LC, the creator and curator of LA underground art scene shops ThinkSpace Gallery and Cannibal Flower,  brings you the fresh party time mix you deserve! LC has been passionately spinning vinyl since 82’. Specializing in remixes, mash ups and covers. But what creates LC’s sound is the hip hip, lounge, reggae, trip hop, dance and some pop music mixed together to harmonize this DJ’s acoustic signature. A sound that has made him a vital piece of the musical group Bitter:Sweet, as featured on 89.9fm KCRW. LC spreads his vibe and sound around to various events around LA such as, Cannibal Flower, Nic’s Martini Lounge, and the Mar Vista Farmers Market every second and third Saturday of the month. But his creative spirit doesn’t end there. Out from behind the DJ booth, LC is a collage artist and also a co-owner and curator of Thinkspace Gallery and Cannibal Flower.
