Basstown presents Tanner Ross (DJ Set) Mahi Mahi (Live) w/ Electric Laser People (Live) and the Peasantry (Live) @ Great Scott 1222 Commonwealth Ave, Allston, MA 02134 MBTA Access: Harvard Ave. Green Line "B" (617) 566-9014 Saturday June 30th, 2007 9pm-2am 21+ $8.00 advance tickets / $10.00 door basstownprod@gmail.com http://www.greatscottboston.com http://www.myspace.com/basstownpresents Saturday June 30th Great Scott hosts an event which brings together some of New England's finest young talent under one roof. Tanner Ross (DJ Set), Mahi Mahi, the Electric Laser People and local phenoms The Peasantry all will pack a bill of live dance music, DJ-inspired band tunes and the hottest beats the region can offer. Tanner Ross, a Berklee student and New Jersey native, is one of the hottest production talents in America. His remix of Claude VonStroke's "Who's Afraid of Detroit?" ("Best track of 2006" - Richie Hawtin) brought a fresh electro-house take on the now classic DirtyBird jam. Ross' DJ set from this year's Winter Music Conference in Miami turned a nearly-rained-out dissapointment into a talked-about event (video below). Ross records for the DirtyBird label out of San Francisco. With recent appearances at Boston's own Thunderdome party and Pop! Providence, Mahi Mahi is a live duo who is coming under a lot of attention. The aim of Mahi Mahi (aka V. Von Ricci and VZO) is to whip your ass into a dance frenzy and, using only drums and live electronics, the two do just that (video below). A windstorm of hyper-disco fire. Electric Laser People was once known as Emergenza sensations the Product. Born from local electronic label unlockedgroove, the dance band plays a whimsical, bouncy groove that has fans from Alaska to Florida chanting along to their lyrics. ELP recently released their full-length debut "Straight Talk on Raising Kids" to wide acclaim. Billboard called it "a sonic merging of Ratatat and Licensed to Ill." Finally, The Peasantry is another Berklee product with indie-pop inspiration and an electronic soul. Having headlined the Abbey Lounge and played venues throughout New England, the Peasantry are fast-rising stars. In August, they play NYC's prestigious Knitting Factory. Both the Peasantry and ELP will feature members DJing throughout the night (DJ Etan and MIT robot master Six Million Dollar Dan, respectively) turning our Saturday night at Great Scott into one long party. Mahi Mahi light dancefloors on fire and Tanner's expectional beats round out the night.

MIT Enterprise Forum: Digital Rights Management Debate - Wha...
Where: MIT

Distribution options for digital media are now extensive and expanding. Consumers around the world are becoming very comfortable with downloading, uploading, sideloading, sharing, streaming, etc. their digital content. Owners of content are trying to adapt their business models to the digital world to capture a "fair" share of revenue as they see their traditional non-digital distribution channels decline. What started as largely an issue for the music industry has expanded to other markets and media types including movies, TV shows, radio, art and theater. The impact is massive as wireless and broadband is now available is every country in the world, making digital content available worldwide. These issues provide the foundation for a raging debate about the "rights" to digital media. This panel will evaluate the following issues: * Who owns the "rights" to digital media? * What ownership rights model provides good value to the consumer and also maximizes the return to the original creator? * What group should be responsible for defining and monitoring digital rights guidelines? * Should any government groups be involved in the debate? * What technological approach should be used for digital rights management?
