MR. BILL (Simplify Recordings - Aus)
http://www.mrbillstunes.com

Mr. Bill is a project based around evocation, music written to excite the ear and the brain. It explores all sorts of strange production methods and musical theories. The music has been described as a distinct brand of 8bit glitchy funk as well as an audiological reflection of our world growing ever more mechanistic which seemingly takes sounds and influences from every aspect of life and a representation of the inner workings of the quantum realm when harvested through concentration and intent.

ELECTROCADO (Hass Records, Ektoplazm - Aus)
http://www.electrocado.com

Electrocado was created during 2009 by Bill Day and Ryan Whare in Ol’ Sydney town. They combined generous amounts of psy, electro, glitch, minimal and progressive, spread some avocado on top, then grilled it till it was steamin' hot and crunchy. The result is a tasty and satisfying meal covering a wide range of tempo’s and musical influences.

MR. ROGERS (Ooze System - NorCal)
http://www.soundcloud.com/mr-rogers

Mr. Rogers' brain is a fun place to visit, but you might not want to stay for too long lest you get stuck in the intricate, syncopated pulse that oozes from it. Mr. Rogers connects with dancefloors instantly with his totally unique style. His signature sound seeps out of every beat per minute, and latches onto your primal dance button. Mr. Rogers sounds have long captivated the West Coast underground arts community. Now the secret is out and this pioneering producer is poised to conquer the far reaches of the dance floor with his twisted, psychedelic take on bass-heavy midtempo and glitch-ridden breaks.

THA FRUITBAT (Simplify Recordings, Memekast, Addictech - Sac)
http://soundcloud.com/tha-fruitbat

Tha Fruitbatis an electronic music maker best known for his disorienting arrays of synth and sample tones, woven together atop complex breakbeats and mutated basslines. His background as a trained musician (drums, bass, guitar and percussion) and audio engineer enables Tha Fruitbat to play, sample and record and slice his own sounds into his compositions, creating his own unmistakably unique style and sound.

RATCHET (Ooze System, Memekast - NorCal)
http://soundcloud.com/ratchetmusic

Ratchet has been cranking out a unique brand of twisted psychedelic breaks and mid tempo since 2006. Having showcased his talents in underground clubs and outdoor festivals, people are beginning to notice his impeccable ability to craft a sharp, precise, ultra-clean composition. His first full length album, Warp Speed was just released on Ooze System and is currently holding steady on the Addictech charts.

This event is presented to you by: Speaker Sherpas in conjunction with MK2 Systems

Hey all you dj's, it's time to celebrate your roots! This year at Burning Man we're taking a break from all the usual beats and going to back to where it all came from. Pay homage to the great masters like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Afrika Bambaataa by celebrating the four pillars of hip hop: djing, mcing, break dancing, and graffiti art at our theme camp and bar, Rapper's Delight. I mean, seriously, how long has it been since you've listened to The Fugees, Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh, NWA, or Kid n Play? We'll be playing all the 80s-90s hip hop jams you have forgotten that you love. And if you're feelin' fresh, come by and drop some rhymes on the mic or show off your cipher on the dance floor. Throw up a piece on the graffiti wall and have a drink with us!

If you love classic hip hop, and I know you do, then please check out our kickstarter and donate a little bit to help us out. Every dollar counts, even if you can only throw in 10 bucks. You can also check our Facebook page for updates on our schedule of events. Also, if you'd like to perform or set up a battle hit us up!

We'll be on the 4:30 Plaza, hope to see you there!

MK2 resident Niles and Seventh Swami host False Profit's Equity happy hour. Go raise a Red Stripe with our West Coast operatives and close allies.

Greetings, investors. Perhaps you are looking for an excuse to leave the house. Perhaps you are looking for a reason not to go straight home after work. Perhaps you seek justification for loving our neighborhood bar. What would be a sufficient explanation?

$2 Red Stripes? No, we always have those.

Pizza by donation? Communism. Boring.

Celebrating the return of the Memekast in 2011? Well, that will
certainly be sweet.

A full live PA set from Seventh Swami? Dance music from Niles? Now
that’s enough happy for more than an hour.

Brooklyn's Mux Mool has a sound that's hard to pin down. Residing somewhere in the electronic hip-hop continuum, one finds comparisons to Four Tet, Boards of Canada, Elliot Lipp, and Ghostly labelmates Shigeto and Dabrye an easy reach. Of course, music is made to be listened to, and comparing it to other music is beside the point. So go check out some of his tracks on last.fm, and grab your tickets for Tuesday, his last NYC show of the year before kicking off a tour with Lotus.

With Living Days, Expensive Looks, and Warm Ghost.
