Airplane Mode West at The Townhouse, Dec 19, with the Gaslamp Killer, plus special guest DJ Alter. Expect an international smorgasbord of world class wonders featuring instrumental bugged out beats, Turkish delights, Arabic anomalies, Italian intricacies, French fantasy, Brazilian bangers, tons of psychedelic fuzz, phenomenal funk, tormented soul and electronic madness of all manners! Alter is a Los Angeles–born producer and DJ rooted in jazz, hip hop, and R&B. Raised by a father who spent his life as a working jazz pianist, Alter grew up surrounded by live music and improvisation. As a teenager, he began studying music more seriously and picked up multiple instruments, gaining experience in both live performance and studio sessions. After several years of playing, he branched into beatmaking, collaborating with artists. Today, Alter works professionally as a producer and DJ, crafting records and performances that reflect a lifelong, and evolving relationship with music. Presented by Townhouse Venice.
