Soundset 2016 | Last Of The Record Buyers

Each year, up & comers along with seasoned vets take the stage, doing quick live sets showcasing their skills behind the boards. Leading up to this year's headliner (Durazzo), we'll hear new joints from people participating in a themed sample challenge (this year's: State Fair Music), local heavyweights playing selections from their vaults, and a barrage of artists plugging in their gear to throw down live. Last of the Record Buyers has been providing a stage for hip-hop producers since 2007, and the annual Soundset Showcase is an event you don't want to miss.
