Since 2004, Alpha Pup Records has worked diligently to transform the LA electronic music scene. Now the label's branching out with a family-style cross-country tour. The Alpha Pup crew is pretty diverse: Dreamy and sweet-toned producer Astronautica brings the breathy romance of ambient house. Elusive is all about that smart weed, with chill but more productive, get-shit-done-around-your-apartment sound textures. Toy Light is moody and heavy—bordering on rock in some places—but has some interesting glitch melody in his remixes. Gypsy Mamba offers the mid-tempo danceable tracks (finally!). That's a hell of a deal for eight bucks. I think they just want you to come hang out and roll with them. SUZETTE SMITH
