Panels and DJ sets
The schedule puts the panels in the warehouse. At 1 PM, "For artists: How to get your music heard" has Francesca Harding of KCRW, Marina Aguerre of The Witching Hours and Dublab, and George Chen of ZUM. At 2 PM, "Tips for Starting a Record Label" has Arshia Haq of Discostan, Patrick McCarthy of Temporal Drift and Paul Preston of Brainfeeder. "Tour Stories" at 3 PM brings Patty Schemel, Dean Wareham and Brontez Purnell. At 4 PM, Synth History talks with Black Marble. A quadraphonic vinyl playback of CIANI/ORKEST by Suzanne Ciani and Metropole Orkest plays one side at half past each hour from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
The DJ schedule starts with Carlos Niño at noon. Jazmin Hicks of Jazz Is Dead plays at 1 PM and DJV of Stones Throw at 4 PM. The day is also the release party for Synth History Issue Six, which the event page says features RZA and Flying Lotus. Add a raffle, an "Ask An Expert" booth, And Destroy coffee, and comics and pinball inside.
My read
I think a label fair is the best case for crate digging. A store sorts records by genre. A label table sorts them by taste, and the person behind it often helped make the record. The event page says Hologram Opera is "dedicated to keeping Catalog LA completely free for vendors and the public!" That lowers the bar for the smallest labels on the list.
Labels still put records in front of people: Chastity Belt shared its new single on Suicide Squeeze Records' YouTube channel. Some bands do the studio work themselves and keep a label anyway: Party Dozen recorded, mixed and mastered 21 Bum Salute themselves, and City Slang is putting it out. The 1 PM and 2 PM panels speak to both.
For KAZI readers, my pick is the overlap: Stones Throw, Jazz Is Dead and Dome of Doom on the floor, Brainfeeder's Paul Preston on the label panel and RZA in the new Synth History issue.
