On Friday, its our SEVENTH ANNUAL FREQO de MAYO event. A benefit for the Janky Barge artcar, this year’s Freqo boasts its most well-rounded lineup yet, including trailblazers like FREQ NASTY, NICKODEMUS, EL PAPACHANGO and DIGITAL RUST. Freqo goes down at Public Works on Friday. On Saturday, we head to Mezzanine with two artists who are re-imagining the West Coast sound. While the “Bass Music” movement is oft associated with dubstep and occasionally lumped in with a metal-like “brostep” scene, there is a backlash afoot to show a more intelligent and positive side of this music. Ninja Tune phenom ESKMO is as intelligent as they come; a multi-instrumentalist who happily shares his parts and production packs with anyone who asks. LOVE & LIGHT hail from Reno and have been as overt as their name would suggest in their commitment to turning Bass Music towards positive sounds and themes. On Sunday, we will be out in the streets with the rest of you letting our Freak… er Freq Flag Fly
