BeatFreaq : A Creatives Kickback
For all the creators and lovers of the arts especially those who love the beats....

If you missed the Freaquency360 Live series, we are still here and this is your 2.0 with a twist. This creative kickback will focus on producers and beatmakers, but it will include guests and showcases featuring folks from the music and arts industry. All photographers, writers, video directors, visual artists, rappers, singers, and fans are invited to vibe, network, and enjoy a chill-ass Sunday afternoon. As the venue grows, I will be inviting A&Rs, label folks, creative directors, artists, engineers, and more. Let's build something the whole community will benefit from.
This episode we will be speaking with two pillars of the music community. Engineer, musician, label owner, DJ and owner of 50/11 bucket hats :).... Scott "Flock of Slagles” Slagle.
Along with Scott we will have DJ, producer Diarra "DR" Mayfield telling his story and doing a beat set of his otherwordly compositions....

THE BEATS:
While there are scheduled beat performances, we will have a roulette-style pass the aux. Bring your peeps and bang some beats!! There will be no old vs. young, or experienced vs. newbies. All genres of beats are welcome. Just bring your best stuff and if you need work, our job isn't to tear you down - we want to help you reach your full potential. As humans and communal beings, we are meant to learn from each other.

A. Bring 2- 4 beats on a hard drive ( we will not aux you in ) the dj will play your tracks.
B. We will pick folks throughout the event to rock randomly throughout the event (roulette style), so come early. Sign ups for the beats ends at 5:00. There will be a cut off on the amount of beatmakers (so if we are full before 5pm) you may not be able to play.

Tracking a new EP w/ Johnny Rockett

We recently had about 4 & a half days in the studio w/ Johnny Rockett and Alex Charles (flying out from LA) on the production for Johnny’s 1st EP & we crushed it. We tracked all the vocals and guitars in CLT (& Alex will wrap it all up on the West Coast). These guys are super-talented & worked together flawlessly!! Ya gotta love teamwork like this, it really makes all the long hours & work so much easier. Anyway, I can't wait for this to come out!!

You can catch him playing these songs for the 1st time out at 8:30pm tonight at The Kodiak Bar & Lounge (42 Union St S, Suite A, North Concord, NC 28025).
