This record was put together by the Austin based event, Exploded Drawing, (created and curated by producers, Butcher Bear & soundfounder), based in Austin, TX. The format is simple, artists perform their own original electronic and beat music in a DIY atmosphere to an open minded audience. The cover is always $5.

With this record, Exploded Drawing has put together some of the very best of what forward thinking Texan beat music producers have to offer right now. Featuring BoomBaptist, Juicy the Emissary, Solar Shield, A Better Tomorrow and Botany among many others, this album celebrates the first "7 Years" of bringing together this community in Austin, TX and beyond. The beginning of what has been called an "Austin Institution".
