From the good folks over at waxpoetics.com…
VTech in collaboration with Mochilla and media sponsor Wax Poetics are very happy to announce the above screening dates for the Timeless 3-DVD set.
These screenings of Timeless feature the works of J Dilla (Suite for Ma Dukes), Mulatu Astatke, and Arthur Verocai. Instead of showing all three films back to back or indeed making a screener edit of all three films, we will be doing something historic. At certain screenings, J.Rocc, of the World Famous Beat Junkies and also maybe the greatest DJ on the planet right now, will be DJing all three films, using the latest Serato technology. J.Rocc will be manipulating the films using vinyl on turntables to control the hi-res film files, creating an amazing megamix of all three films. This, as far as we know, has never been done to premiere a film or indeed a series of films. The screenings will be followed by Q&A with directors B+ and Eric Coleman, as well as Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, with an after-party to follow, with J.Rocc as the main guest DJ.
We will be giving away one VTech IS9181 WiFi Internet Radio Player at each screening. Follow VTechMusic on Twitter to find out how you can win one of these amazing music players.
