This month Alex was joined by Eric Parren, resident dj and core of the Perpetual Dawn crew. Famous for his endless store of musical energy and epic impact on the dance floor, Eric keeps the party going long after the sun has risen. He’s moving to Shanghai at the end of August, so we might not see him back on the dublab airwaves for awhile.
Thursday, July 19, 2018 / 9pm-2am
On Location began in 2012 in the bars and community centers that fill New York City. Setting up screenings or pitting performances in everyday spaces brought new life to the works, highlighting the social nature of making art in a city. But there were other stories to tell. Starting with community, Dirty Looks On Location is a festival for our streets. Playing with venues and meeting places that defined queer life in L.A., On Location 2018 was organized by 13 local curators, artists and promoters. 31 spaces across the 31 days of July, charting a progression of culture(s) using a month’s time.
Handbag Factory has served as a key performance space for Queer and Trans noise, video, and punk artists throughout it’s 7-year history. Handbag is situated in the rapidly gentrifying South Park neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles and serves as a cultural oasis in a sea of cookie-cutter condos. Rooftop Party at Handbag Factory will feature performances by Gaylord Fiend, Poor Impulse Width Modulation, and VisionVision with live analog visuals by Alex Pelly.
Full event info here.
We can't believe it's been three years already! From our humble beginnings at the Handbag Factory to the madness that was Bamboo Lane to all the warehouses around town to our new home Coaxial. You've been with us all along. Come celebrate with us: three years of LA-focused underground electronic sounds and visuals.

Vizual Magic via Alex Pelly from dublab!!
June's guest was Steph Russ, a fellow labrat with the monthly show Heart Pressure Radio. Steph recently played dublab’s Tonalism at Bonnarroo, which Alex did visuals for. Tonalism is an all night happening inspired by La Monte Young’s Dream House and the happenings of the 50s and 60s by artists such as Terry Riley, John Cage and Yoko Ono. Visitors are encouraged to bring pillows, cushions, and sleeping bags, lay down and listen. Steph who is known for electronic dance music, slowed it way down for the occasion, including some original ambient tracks. She shared some of these new creations with us on PELLYVISION, mixed it with other ambient tracks, while Alex used her video patches from Tonalism to visualize.
This month Alex visualized DJ sets from One Child Policy and Jonathan Snipes of clipping.
