I’m pleased to let you know that I’ll be returning, after a long absence, to Charlotte, North Carolina for a swanky event mixing art and music together into one funky pile. I’m not sure if I completely inspired this gathering but it is called “Abstract Culture,” after all. Some fantastic art will be on display while I, and the resident DJs, will be supplying the soundtrack for gazing and dancing. This is happening Saturday night at Dharma Lounge … the venue is known for its top notch Turbo Sound System so it’s gonna be sonically beefy as well. If you’re in the area then I hope you can make it out! Details below:
