19th 's8211; June 25th.
Georgia'ss own DJ L has been showcasing Atlanta artists throughout the year on her weekly Thursday show and has been instrumental in giving a voice to indie artists in the area.'s8220;I
realized that Atlanta needed someone to represent its fast growing multi-genre music scene,'s8221; said DJ L. 's8220;There is so much rich music here such as the technical beauty of
Dropsonic, the fantastic, sing-along rock of Modern Skirts, and the funky beats of multi-ethnic hip-hop group, Collective Efforts. The strength of this music scene is that it isn's8217;t
limited to one genre as all genres of music are represented by Atlanta artists.'s8221;
