TNT returns to MCASD to celebrate emerging design, music, and taste. Visit MCASD’s newest addition— the Product Porch at 1001 Kettner— where you can purchase work by emerging designers and artists.

Get down with live music from San Diego Music Award Nominees Republic of Letters and The Nervous Wreckords on the North Plaza, and hear Skyler Mic and 88:88 spin beats in the Farrell Gallery. Get gussied at the pop-up hair salon, staffed by up-and-coming stylists from Bellus Academy, Bay Vista Campus. Get connected with fellow TNT goers in the BoConcept Lounge. Get satisfied with specialty cocktails and savory treats from the MIHO Gastrotruck. And get excited about MCASD’s upcoming exhibition, Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface, as we open the first of many installations featuring the work of artists Larry Bell, Mary Corse, and James Turrell.

Special thanks to media sponsors San Diego CityBeat and 91X.

Continue the celebration at the TNT Post Party at W San Diego, a legitimate stone’s throw from the Museum. Enjoy specialty cocktails at the no-host bar, networking with fellow TNT goers, and informal conversations with David John of interiors blog You Have Been Here Sometime and Brooks + Blaire, the brains and talent behind Product Porch.  Post partiers will be entered to win giveaways, including a one-night stay at W San Diego, and MCASD Members who attend will receive a free poster of the Shepard Fairey mural in Hillcrest (quantities limited).  RSVP to rsvpwsdevents@whotels.com

While the name Flaco might not immediately ring a bell, his tune should!
The likes of Fabio, Marky, LTJ Bukem, have not only ignited dance floors
with Flaco’s tune’s, they have signed them to their labels.

Celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic, its in the unassuming personality of futurist B-boy Hive that drum and bass finds its mightiest bridge between the UK and the US. His tracks have become staples of virtually all of drum and bass legends, from Andy C to Goldie. Hives label Violence has registered sales comparable to Ram, Renegade Hardware, and Valve. He released a tremendous remix of Goldie and Rob Playford’s “The Shadow” for Moving Shadow. Metalheadz has invited him to record an e.p. for the label. Hes toured worldwide, completing a month of dates in New Zealand and Australia in the fall of 2002, preceded by a month in the UK and Europe, which included a guest appearance for the Valve Soundsystem. No American has gained such complete entree into the heart of drum and bass.

Tough, propulsive, forged out of both the traditional sampled aesthetic and leading sound designs of contemporary drum and bass, the sound of Hive today bears the imprint of an artist searching for new ways to reinterpret the music by his own lights. Neither a retrospective purist, nor a follower of fashion, Hives music, his DJing, and his label strike a steely, inspiring balance, hewing closely to a tight creative vision that has propelled him into the forefront of drum and bass wherever it thrives.
