Soundlab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Soundlab was a collective of artists, both sound and visual, that started in the East Village, New York City around the mid 90's. Founding members were Howard Goldkrand, Beth Coleman and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky and included many musicians and artists from the Illbient scene including DJ Olive, A.K. Atoms, Kit Krash, Acoustyk aka MegMan, Lucy Walker and Tim Sweet.

The initial Soundlab events took place at David Linton's House of Ouch in China Town and then moving around to secret venues around the city including Andy Warhol's old Factory space (being the last event ever held there).

Bands such as We, Byzar and Subdub were regular performers as well as Arto Lindsay, Vernon Reid, DJ Soulslinger and Elliott Sharp.
