Описание: FACE MELT v6: 'Locals Only' Showcase w/ BRC, Ruckus, Cos
After a few months of showcasing up-and-coming out of town Bass heads, in July FACE MELT turns it's focus back home with a fine selection of local talents including BRC (Subfix) , Ruckus (Betamorph), & Cos (Push Beats).

June 29th, 2011. Presented by Ground Lift Media, FACE MELT is a new monthly event series which showcases envelope-pushing artists on a local, national, and international level. The 2011 programming schedule includes Live Bands, Live PA sets, DJs/Turntablists, & Touring Acts spanning genres like Dubstep, Glitch, Electronic, Hip-Hop, and Beat-related. And if that's not enough, the resident roster boasts some of Chicago's finest talents --Maker (Stonesthrow, Now-Again), Phaded (Dubfix), & DJ Intel (The Comeups, Platter Pirates). Hosted by ADaD (All Natural, Eulorhythmics).

Positioned to be the defining voice in a rapidly evolving musical environment, FACE MELT continues for it's sixth installment July 29th at Darkroom (2210 W. Chicago Ave. 9pm, $10, 21+ ... RSVP via do312.com for $5 all night) featuring performances by BRC (Subfix, Dubs Alive), Ruckus (Betamorph) & Cos (Push Beats).

When talking about Hip-Hop or any of the countless genres it has influenced, it's all about the beats. Even after a producer loops 'Amen Brother' for the millionth time, it will always be about the beats. They're the foundation of Hip-Hop, and the defining characteristic of any artist or genre claiming Hip-Hop as inspiration. And at FACE MELT, they're the only thing that matters.

As if he's already plotting to bring an MPC to his cousin's quinceañera, Maker explains the underlying motivations of FACE MELT as "a gathering of different styles, cultures, and scenes that are all related... It's like a family reunion but with hard ass drums." Simple enough concept but reading between the lines, you may want to consider ear plugs!
