Based on this information, users can obtain accurate reports on how much storage space would be saved through deduplication, the dollar savings and the percentage of savings.

Ott – Live at Gnomelandia, A Free Mix

Ott

Veteran British producer Ott has been no stranger to the U.S. touring market in the last year. With almost 40 shows since last October, Ott has built solid momentum around his live show, which fuses traditional dub undertones with his mastery of electronic sounds.

Live at Gnomelandia is a 60-minute mix that incorporates unreleased versions of songs from both of Ott’s studio albums, Blumenkraft and Skylon, as well as an exclusive unreleased track. Listeners familiar with Ott’s studio sound, which is often categorized as downtempo or chillout, will notice their favorite tracks transformed into up-beat live grooves appropriate for the dance floor. Reflective of the Ott Live experience, Live at Gnomelandia is a glimpse of what many can expect to catch this summer while Ott is on tour.

Free Summer Shows In Brooklyn Throughout Summer

Dan Deacon

Back for its fourth year, the Jelly Pool Parties have announced a remarkable summer lineup that includes some of this year’s hottest touring acts – all presented to the general public for free. Relocating to East River State Park on the Williamsburg Waterfront, this year’s pool parties promise to be amazing shows for those lucky enough to be living in the vicinity of the NYC boroughs.

The shows continue every Sunday throughout August 30 complete with on-site dodge ball, three-on-three basketball – in addition to stellar musical performances. Once again, all for free.

The August 2 show will undoubtedly be one of the best performances as Dan Deacon, No Age and Deerhunter play a round robin set that’s sure to be a performance for the books. Simian Mobile Disco‘s set on August 9 should also be a great show, as should Girl Talk and Grizzly Bear on August 23 and 30, respectively. Did we mention this is free!?!?!
