- Brian Shimkovitz will DJ in Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco and LA over the course of the next month.
- Brian Shimkovitz has four Awesome Tapes From Africa gigs across the US scheduled for the coming weeks. As the name might imply, Awesome Tapes From Africa is a blog and label project through which Shimkovitz highlights a genre-defying range of obscure tape releases originating from across Africa. With a crate of cassettes in tow, he also DJs using the moniker. (He played an RA party in Palm Springs earlier in the year.) On Thursday, September 18th, he'll be in Detroit for an evening at MOCAD. The 19th has him back in Chicago, this time playing Smart Bar. Then in October, Shimkovitz will hit the West Coast, headlining a Push The Feeling party at San Francisco spot Underground SF on Saturday the 4th. Lastly for now, on Saturday the 11th at Los Globos in Los Angeles, he'll play the release party for Peaking Lights' new album Cosmic Logic, which will also feature sets from Animal Collective (DJing) and Nite Jewel (playing live). Tickets to that Smart Bar show, Mixtape Madness, are available here on RA
