As seen on BV Austin, producers Groundislava and oOoOO, whose collaborator Butterclock just recently played Reggie's, have teamed up for a brief summer North American tour. That tour includes a performance at Lincoln Hall on June 1 with Different Sleep and Abyss & Zainghis (of Push Beats). Advance tickets for the Chicago show are still available.

Groundislava hits the road with a new smattering of remixes, fittingly titled Treasure Chest, which you can check out at the bottom of this post with his full tour schedule. A few oOoOO songs are also below...

As mentioned on BrooklynVegan, oOoOO collaborator Butterclock (aka Laura Clock) released her debut EP, First Prom, physically last month, and she's now set to release the digital version on April 15, which includes the new track, "Holograms," which should sound pretty great to fans of Grimes' Visions. You can stream it below.

Butterclock has some live dates coming up, including one in Chicago which happens on April 16 at Reggie's with Teen Witch, Magicks, Shuteye, and Moon River. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

All dates are listed, along with that song stream and show flyer for the Reggie's show, below...
