Build An Ark – With 18

local luminaries spanning generations and genres, Build An Ark unites once again

for a special extended set of majestic soul-jazz.

collaborations in Dntel

and Postal

Service, Jimmy Tamborello will

serve up some of his favorite music from behind the wheels of steel.

Fever – Possibly the best example

of audio alchemy in Los Angeles, Dengue Fever are a group of seasoned local

musicians joined by Cambodian superstar vocalist Chhom Nimol to perform modern

renditions of the vibrant Cambodian rock music of the 60s and 70s. If that

sounds amazing, well… it is!

– Busdriver

Blowed and his work with a variety

of cutting edge L.A. musicians, Busdriver is a musical collaboration unto

himself, effortlessly mixing vocal jazz, theatrics and spoken word deep into

territory yet uncharted by hip hop.

collective known as Dublab returns to drop science at the Natural History Museum
