Ninja Tune hits sXXsw!!

Entering its 20th year in 2010, Ninja Tune is officially kicking off this milestone with a full showcase at SXSW in Austin, TX. With a batch of its unique brand of fresh and uncompromising talent, Ninja has truly come correct with this stellar lineup. Montreal’s Poirier will be making his only US appearances in Austin before his new album, Running High, drops in May. Representing Big Dada, it’s Anti-Pop Consortium’s first time bringing their glitched-up hip hop meets electronic wizardry to Austin since their reunion last year (and recently named one of Spin.com’s 50 must-hear bands at SXSW!), and Damaged Good$ always deliver an unmistakable party. Rounded out by the dreamy shoegaze of Yppah playing with a full band and the tripped out Monome beats LA’s Daedelus delivers, be sure not to miss out on a memorable evening of genre-bending, sweaty debauchery.

1 – 1:50 AM Daedelus
12 – 12:50 AM Anti-Pop Consortium
11 – 11:50 PM Poirier feat MC Zulu
10 – 10:50 PM Damaged Good$
9 – 9:50 PM Yppah
8 – 8:50 PM Richard Henry & between sets
