Beginning Monday, July 25th Dubspot is excited to present a series of live streaming workshops from masters in the fields of production, VJing, drumming, and improvisation in Ableton Live.
On July 29th, Dubspot’s Live Streaming Workshop Series will feature none other than Philadelphia’s genre-melting legend King Britt and his live album experimentations with Rucyl Mills and their project Saturn Never Sleeps.
The first live streaming workshop will feature Percussivo Mundo Novo, a project led by percussion innovator Mikael Mutti, whose equally genre-busting infusions of Brazilian rhythms and music has led him to digital percussion wizardry that includes analog drums and video game controllers.
On August 1st, all the way from Holland DJ Irie will demonstrate his use of Serato and Ableton Live for his work as a battle VJ and turntablist.
Philadelphia DJ, producer, and remixer King Britt will be touching down at Dubspot for a workshop with singer/collaborator Rucyl (roo-SILL) Mills. The two will share insights into their recording process for their debut album Yesterday’s Machine, out on their own SNS imprint in July.
The bulk of the record was constructed in a live, improvised, one-take fashion, combining the duo’s intuitional musical sense. The two point to the work of avant-garde jazz revolutionary Sun-Ra as a major source of inspiration, drawing from his value in art’s of-the-moment process.
