The wonderful quarterly arts and music event Create:Fixate is having its second anniversary party December 6 in Beverly Hills. I wrote a little bit about Create:Fixate a month ago, if that helps give you a better idea of what it's about.

Bonus to sweeten the deal? I'm playing at this one...if sweetener that be. No drum and bass...well, maybe a little, but it'll most likely be a pretty freeform set. You know, no genre rules and all that crap...just good music, the way I most enjoy playing. If you've seen me at Eraser, or opening for Eric Truffaz, or some odd event or other like those, you might have an idea. If you dig going from say Massive Attack to The Art Ensemble of Chicago doing Fela Kuti and Jimi Hendrix covers, to The Pixies, to Tom Waits, and then maybe a sprinkling of house and a touch of Carl Craig, leavened with Lee Perry followed by Photek, then maybe you'll like it.

Anyway, that's hardly the main reason to go. There'll be lots of good art and music of all sorts, high on the authenticity quotient and low on the snob meter. It's too fun a party to get all sniffy and chinstrokey at anyway.
