DJ Apple Juice Kid, eight time beat battle champion, music producer, and drummer, will take the stage and create retro futuristic Afro Latin tribal beats in a mash up with Jeh Kulu drummers and hip hop artist and vocalist Pierce Freelon. Apple Juice Kid is sponsored by Ableton and Reason, and has been written about by Nahright, Maddecent, Pitchfork, Huffington Post, LA Times and more (check it all out: www.applejuicekid.com, www.bigbeatdance.com, www.beatmakinglab.com, PBS Goma Beat Making Lab documentary: http://youtu.be/_dTk3iiOZS8 http://maddecent.com/new-african-beats-goma-congo/ Music: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8nnygtwbvbahke7/RnTa8qAEoe )
