Electronic music maestro, beat maker, and netlabel founder Tim O’Keefe will be in the house for the CD release party of Strictly Scientifical — DJ Flack’s new full length on O’Keefe’s esteemed Cozy Music.
Tim has been an integral part of the Providence music scene for years, he is an artist in residence at AS220, and is part of the new REVOLVE night at Cuban Revolution.
