Out of nowhere, this young talent came onto the the playing field swinging. His debut album entitled “Albumin” was released under the independent Saturate Records imprint with much fanfare, generating buzz across internet, eventually landing him a writeup on XLR8R in addition to the countless blogs that also carried the story. As word of his music spread, he was asked to perform at LA’s now world famous Low End Theory where he shared the bill with such scene giants as Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer and Daddy Kev.

In addition to the main shows there will be a number of smaller events happening around town throughout the weekend and this is one not to miss. Friday the 28th, Jables will be hitting Modaddy’s (located right next to the Orange Peel) with a live 404 set of his trademark bass heavy, off beat hip hop.

He will be joined by our good friend Matt “Fast Nasty” Keaton who has been tearing up crowds across the south for quite a while. The show starts at 9pm and the cover is only $7. Worth every penny and we hope to see you there.

Star Slinger is a UK based Producer and DJ. He has so far released one LP, two EP’s and a bunch of singles. He counts Diplo, Jamie xx & Teebs amongst his fans and has provided licensed remixes for Gold Panda, Childish Gambino, The Go! Team, The Morning Benders & Broken Social Scene to name a few.

Shlohmo is an LA beatmaker who is known for creating hip-hop influenced deep and lo-fi soundscapes and playing spontaneous DJ sets featuring lots of exclusive reworks. New LP “Bad Vibes” just dropped so expect a fresh set.

Shigeto is an Ann Arbor based beatmaker and instrumentalist. His sound is a signature blend of lush experimental hip-hop and deep silky soundscapes. His LP “Full Circle” dropped a few months ago and it is off the chain.

This will also be Bookworm’s first Asheville appearance since his Orange Peel gig with Big Gigantic in February of this year and a lot has changed with his live performance in that time. This should not be missed.

Tickets are available online here or can be purchased in person at The Garage at Biltmore in Asheville, NC. People are encouraged to buy in advance as the venue capacity is limited.

The show is on October 22nd at the Garage at Biltmore. Don’t miss this one.
