Stop Biting [9.20.11]

TUESDAY 9/20

MORE OF THAT LA HIPHOP FUTURISM WITH MR. DIBIA$E

The popular, long-running hiphop weekly Stop Bitinggoes back to the rich Los Angeles well to book Mr. Dibia$e, yet another badass producer on the Alpha Pup label. We’re still flipping over his 2010 album Machines Hate Me, a kinetic reconfiguration of hiphop’s sonic DNA that keeps things discombobulated and futuristically funky over 15 tracks. As we missed his Decibel set last year, we’re going to make damn sure we don’t blow another chance to catch Dibia$e in the flesh. Seattle’s Absolute Madman also performs, supporting his new Please Don’t Talk to Me EP (Fourthcity). If you’ve only known Ab Mad for his excellent DJing at Stop Biting, you’ll be pleased to know that he has a serious facility for production, too. He citesSquarepusher and DJ Shadow as primary influences, and their flair for acutely arrayed, splenetic beats, skewed funk, and dramatic and intriguing melodies surfaces often over these six tracks. With WD4D, Suttikeeree,Sho-Nuph, Introcut, and Eardrumz. Lo-Fi Performance Gallery, 9:30 pm, $6, 21+.
