Beat Making Lab

Hello,

We just got back from our first international lab of the year in Nairobi, Kenya.  We went with a non-profit called The Rules and were in a great local community center called The Nest.  

We are planning more beat making labs domestically and internationally this year including our hometown in Chapel Hill, NC, Miami, Anguilla, Palestine, South Africa and more.

We will continue to make videos and music with youth in the communities as we look forward to a great 2014.  We are also developing an app with little cloud collective geo-tagging sounds from around the world, connecting people and providing a sample base for beat makers to collaborate and share.

Hello,

After completeing 5 countties over the past year, we have finally built a music studio domestically.  Last week we had our grand opening of our Chapel Hill, NC beat-making lab.  With support from Red Bull, Lenovo, UNC and the Town of Chapel Hill we have a free music studio for youth in the community.

We are planning the next stages of our international and domestic work, creating more labs and building community.  We are working on an app, and building our team.  We are also working with the US State Dept on developing more labs.
