Celebrating 10 years of future roots music, Dublab presented 10 straight days of events in the Los Angeles area. Last night’s festivities took place in the Continental Gallery, a Downtown spot perfect for taking advantage of Artwalk’s eleventy billion adherents who swarm the ‘hood every second Thursday. The exhibition caught my eye late last month when I encountered the Labrats laying out what looked to be a floor full of slipmats accompanied by 12″ record sleeves for the Up Our Sleeve Project going on the walls. Some of these works were absolutely ingenious, proving that maybe a perfect circle or square isn’t a bad starting point after all. The night also showcased show posters and donated art being auctioned off with 100% of those proceeds going back into the future of the radio collective. And no night could be complete without a souvenir, right? Hit+Run set up their screens and flash dryer, giving people the opportunity to create a unique pattern of designs on a take-home shirt. (As if the cool fold-out flyer wasn’t enough)

Los Angeles has been blessed to have such a dedicated group of individuals bring us art exhibitions, original films and record releases throughout the years. You can do your part in ensuring their continuance by donating via their website.
