BLAP (Beats Love Alcohol Party)
ABOUT BLAP:
Most beat battles and producer showcases are
taylored to industry professionals. But how would a general party
crowd respond? B.L.A.P.(Beats Love Alcohol Party) was created to
answer that question. Take four producers - a couple of known veterans
and a few undiscovered talents, put them in front of a party and tell
them to play their beats - its that simple. What separates B.L.A.P.
from similar events is its casual nature. There is no stage and
patrons are encouraged to dance. For the party goer unaware of the
scene it becomes a new experience. For the industry pro, the laid back
atmosphere provides a more comfortable arena to network & find
their next hit producer. Created by Illmind, the producer for artists
like 50 Cent, Redman, & The Jabbawockeez (ABDC's 1st season
champs) who knows who will show up for this event series.
