Abacus is a commission created by Early Morning Opera for Filament in 2010. The performance—which rides the wave of TED talk fanaticism and media technology—just sold out three shows at Sundance, and will stop next at REDCAT in L.A. this February.

Starting off the year will be Properly Chilled, a TNO regular and superstar. He pulls beats from all over the world, mixing an eclectic recipe of flavor, and quite a bit of cayenne. Check out his website for more: www.properlychilled.com.

The rest of the night will step up the house side of things a bit with local DJ hero Jay Travis, always killing it with the latest beats. DJ Brad Lee follows up, taking us deeper in the groove. Jay lines 'em up, Brad takes 'em out.
