Any event in its 56th iteration intermixing electronic music must be doing something right. Exploded Drawing returns with Black Pumas keyboardist JaRon Marshall – continuing tranquil instrumental hip-hop with bite-sized summer singles like “Good Vibes” – and influential Los Angeles sampling pioneer Samiyam. The latter Aughts breakout rose from Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label to work with the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, and is not to be confused spellingwise with lineup mate Saliyah – an ethereally in-the-club Austin native who recently made a splash in NYC. Further locally based talents include guitarist Honey Son’s looped R&B/ambient interplay and bassist Cuadroped’s nostalgic production voyages. Playfully bombastic Brownsville pop innovator B11ce also joins the party. All ages and $5, as always.
