This week at SOUNDLIB, we’ve got special guest LILY VANILLI, the rising star of the venerable NANA CHILL DJ crew. LILY has a superb ear for music and a unique and refreshing style that pulls as much from her Houston roots as from her current digs in the cosmopolitan whirlwind that is SoHo. She’s also a talented writer with a passion for finding the city’s best burgers, a quest she’s chronicling on her awesome Beauty and the Burger blog:

DJ LIL TIGER will also be in the house spinning soul (new and old), funk, Hip-Hop, afrobeat, reggae and much more. As always, the party is FREE. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. Hope to see you there. …

/// This month’s party will feature DJ AFRO-MARC, renowned for his two popular online outlets, The Afrobeat Blog (http://afrobeatblog.blogspot.com) and The Afro-Marc Podcast (http://djafromarc.podomatic.com), where he has been spreading his love and knowledge of African music and all things funky. Afro-Marc has promoted and spun at parties featuring some of the area’s best African-inspired music artists such as Chico Mann, Superhuman Happiness, Ikebe Shakedown, and Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble. As a writer, he has interviewed African legends Tony Allen, Salif Keita and Femi Kuti, as well as newer African-inspired artists Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew and Antibalas, among others.

This week at SOUNDLIB, we’ve got a special double-feature for you: Austin legends BROTHA K and DJ STARSIGN.

BROTHA K, aka THE OL’ SKOOL GENIUS, is one of the pioneers of the Austin Hip-Hop scene and is known for his extensive knowledge and collection of classic Hip-Hop. BROTHA K was the mastermind behind the DOLLA HOLLA OL’ SKOOL SHOW, originally a monthly showcase of old school Hip-Hop on DJ LIL TIGER‘s popular Dolla Holla radio show on KO.OP in the late 90s and early 2000s. BROTHA K became co-host of the weekly show after LIL TIGER‘s departure and has since solidified his status as one of Austin’s most charismatic talents through his work as an on-air personality on commercial radio, a host on Magic video, and as a DJ at various hot spots around town. The Buffalo-native has been holding the torch for Hip-Hop in Austin for more than 20 years. It’s a profound honor to have him join us at SOUNDLIB.

As if that weren’t enough, we’re also really excited to have DJ STARSIGN spin as well. The founder of the PARAKITACHI DJ crew (that featured DJs Chicken George, Melodic, Nick Nack, and LIL TIGER, among others), STARSIGN is one of Austin’s premier tastemakers. His eclectic style and versatile sets span the depths of house, jazz, dub, electronica, funk, rap, disco, latin, ambient, blues and all things rooted in soul and dance.

STARSIGN‘s appearance with LIL TIGER at SOUNDLIB will mark the reunion of the SOUND ACADEMY, the duo’s monicker from their days spinning soulful tunes in various spots around Houston in the early 2000s.

It’s gonna be a historic night. As always, the party is FREE. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. Hope to see you there. …

After the success of the first SLF/SoundLib Edition of the Music Without Borders party at Kush, Kunal and Seif decided we should make it a monthly. Thus, I’ll be spinning there tonight to get the ball rolling on our new monthly collabo, and I’m pretty damn geeked about it.

The party starts early at 7pm and it’s FREE the whole night. Musically, we’ll take you on ride across the globe with an eclectic mix of international sounds, while Alberto holds court on some serious domino action.

Of coures, we’ll have drink specials ($3 beers, $5 jack) lined up, along with some bomb tacos and lamb sliders and other eats. Plus, there will be hookahs ($10 until 10) to get your tasty buzz on.

It’s gonna be a laid back vibe with great music and hella cool folks, so stop by after work and give us a shout.

This week at SOUNDLIB we’re bringing back DJ KUNAL MERCHANT from MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS. He was originally scheduled to spin with us back in May, but he coudn’t make it then due to illness. It took us a little longer than we wanted, but we’ve finally got him back on the bill. KUNAL‘s influences range from Depeche Mode to Outkast to Massive Attack to Classical Indian music, so he’ll definitely have some interesting tunes to play for y’all this week at SOUNDLIB.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be on hand delivering his trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

As always, it’s FREE all night. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. …
