Astro Nautico – Obey City (LuckyMe), Kuhn (Civil Music) and Paul Jones (FatDudes) are visiting Providence, and more specifically The Salon this Friday. Astro Nautico began as a Brooklyn-based music blog/monthly party and has since evolved into a free net label. The founding members met in high school friends and bonded over their mutual love and dedication to music. Last month they dropped their massive 12th release, Atlantics Vol. 2, here’s a little teaser: Tomorrow night the guys will be spinning experimental music for the dancefloor, including future R’n'B, dubstep, footwork, trap, cloud rap, jungle, techno, & house. With live video synthesis/VHS VJ mixing by Paul Jones to back the deejays. Posted in UNCATEGORIZED | No Comments » Currently Coveting: Tazza Caffe’s Ice Coffee Growler
Tazza Caffe are geniuses. Take home a growler of their cold brew ice coffee for $18 and come back and fill it for only $15. If you ever had Tazza’s iced coffee than you understand our excitement and our eagerness to try their new smoked iced coffee. They smoke the beans with Alder wood right before they cold brew the coffee for 18 hours giving the coffee a great smoke at the front of the flavor profile with a smooth finish.
