Quoting Jack Nicholson in "The Shining", once again Drew, "WE'REEEEE BAAACCCCCCCK!" It's that time of the month again... The stage is set... The 11 producers are choosing just 5 beats out of the hundreds on their hard drives...The judge panel prepares to bestow its sage wisdom upon them and a packed crowd of 300 people.... Just as we have every 3rd Wednesday for the past 4+ years, the world-famous iStandard Producer Showcase returns to NYC this week on JULY 15th at Don Hill's

As you know by now, iStandard events are THE PLACE to come check out the world's hottest new producers, as well as network with our diverse music industry crowd, all while as rubbing shoulders with our established panelists. This month is no different.

To start off the night's festivities, at 9:30PM sharp iStandard Co-Founder J Hatch will sit down for a candid one-on-one live interview with Jimi Kendrix. A NYC native, Jimi has laced records for artists such as Jay-Z, Lloyd, DMX, Ashanti, G-Unit, and more, as well as being an all-around cool and amicable cat. Just as he did with Buckwild (HERE), Scram Jones (HERE), and Neo Da Matrix (Coming July 21st) the last 3 months, Hatch will be intuitive and get the knowledge you want to know from Mr. Kendrix, CenterStage on YES style! Make sure you join us right before the iStandard Producer Showcase begins to see this exclusive live segment...
