This past Saturday night at the Bluebird Theater, U.K.-based, vowel-abstaining electronic artist SBTRKT (aka Aaron Jerome) set it off with the help of Mikey Thunder and Peter Black. Offering up a set of music that featured live drums and vocals and donning a ceremonial mask, SBTRKT thrilled the capacity crowd with standout cuts like "Hold On," which centered on the soulful vocals of Sampha. Britt Chester was on hand for the show and brought back these photos.

Mikey Thunder dropped one of the smoothest Outkast remixes in recent memory with "Spottieotiedopalicious," which was better than good, on par with the original.

Peter Black kept the floor steadily packed as more and more people filed into the venue early in the evening.

Grassroots California was on hand with dope hats and hoods for sale. This movement is everywhere in this scene, constantly offering up new designs and styles of hats, T-shirts, and other gear.
