This month, we join the Together Festival with an Exclusive Live performance by San Serac (environ/institubes). San Serac is one of those rare local artists that have gained more recognition abroad than in their home turf. Having been on Output Recordings (UK), San Serac joined a label that included Legendary Belgian duo Yello as well as ground breaking acts like the Rapture and LCD Soundsystem. Output, was the vision of Trevor Jackson and an ode to Factory Records; a label that focused 100% on the music and the design of their releases. Today, San Serac is making history again as he recently released a 12" entitled "music never ends" on Morgan Geist's Environ label. Combining the Stylings of artist like Bowie and Bryan Ferry to the Sounds of Chicago House, San Serac has created a sound that uniquely represents him. The one man show will be joining us for a special night of House along with Resident Advisor's Sarah Ikerd. Come join us as we celebrate the Evolution of House Music in this special week dedicated to Electronic Music in Boston.
