Lazer Sword is a New York and San Francisco-based live electronic act and production duo at the forefront of an emerging sound fusing anything from rap, electro, dubstep and grime to form a new kind of club experience. On stage, Lazer Sword is a hands-on affair, evolving further with every performance. Atypical of most DJ/producer sets, Lazer Sword performs the material to the audience as a highly improvised live production showcase. Tried and true dance music with a flare for the boom-bap, Lazer Sword has built substantial buzz by way of their live shows, their recently released mixtapes Blap To The Future, an XLR8R podcast and an exclusive mix for Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 1 show. They are currently finishing up remixes for Eliot Lipp, Machinedrum, STS9 and others.

“We like to make music that sounds like your favorite top 40 rap music chopped up into a tornado, filled with razor blades and molasses…. or maybe like Frank Zappa rocking the homemade Lil’ John tank-top at the rooftop party.  It’s fun to make and hopefully to listen to as well,” says the band’s website.

Also debuting in Reno this evening is EPROM from SF Bay Area. EPROM is known for his diverse, funky and energetic sets, which cross the lines between live remixing and manipulation of hip hop and dubstep with his own obscenely bass-heavy neurocrunk transmissions.  EPROM has played alongside artists like Flying Lotus, The Glitch Mob, Skream, Lazer Sword, Kode9, Mochipet, Rustie, and many others.  EPROM has worked with internationally renowned MCs and has slated multiple vinyl releases in the coming year.  DJ supporters include Starkey, Jakes, Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, Rustie, Megasoid, Zombie Disco Squad, Riton, Basement Jaxx, and BBC Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs
