A massive Release has happened today, as the Laoban Soundsystem 2.0 Project is Out and beginning to make it’s mark in the Sharism and free culture space. Laoban’s homepage, Loaban_Soundsystem.com, also just launched with colleague, Bassel Safadi’s Aiki Framework! Here, all involved will be able to keep updated on Laoban-powered events and productions.

As of this writing, events are in motion to set up an instance of the Laoban Soundsystem to power a celebratory event in Beijing, as a part of Get It Louder. The beats will commence at 7:00pm this Sunday, September 19.

Check out the Fabricatorz Post and Official Press Release for more info!

The Laoban Soundsystem project, co-founded by Jon Phillips and Matt Hope, was recently upgraded to 2.0 status. These fully open source and documented speakers are capable of quick assembly for events running the cultural gamut. After vast amounts of blood, sweat, and tears, the first Laoban-Powered event is finally upon us!

Bring your most beat-ready shoes and burn up the dance floor at Beijing’s massive outdoor In Bass We Trust event, this Saturday, September 4th, 10:00pm, at 2 Kolegas. Headlining performers include: DJ Nick Bell, visual artist Yang Tao, and JCIC.

Live blogging is a must (tagging #laoban2010). This Soundsystem is the biggest and baddest we’ve ever produced, so be sure not to miss it!
