OUTPOST1: the brainchild of Keep Albany Boring and Deep Children. It’s a night of forward thinking bass music at the Fuze Box in Albany. Our friend Doctor Jeep will be in from Boston. Check out the mix (and interview) he did for us to get an idea of what sounds you will be hearing from him. Looney from Deep Children will be giving all you dubstep heads a proper fix (juke, footwork and drumstep heads will get their fix too) and Party With Tina will be smashing you up with a mix of mooombahton and whatever else.
