UPDATE!! In under 24 hours, we met our internal goal to help get Chris back on his feet in Brooklyn!  You are all amazing and generous.  THANK YOU INTERNET!

Part of the thing we love about running a small record label is having the opportunity to work with our friends. Not to sound like a gushy unprofessional, but to tell you the truth, we look at the Artifact Workshop bands as part of a big ol’ family of talent and creativity. One of our own could use some help…

Artifact Workshop artist DJ Car Stereo (Wars) has had a run of bad luck. After a great set at SXSW (and a bit of Austin frolicking), Chris returned to New York on April 31st only to have his truck broken into and all his DJ equipment stolen. Not only that, but the jackholes also took two suitcases containing  all his clothes. The good news, according to Chris, is that they didn’t steal the two cases of Shiner Bock he brought up with him.

So not only are these thieves severe douche bags, but they also HATE TEXAS!

If you are in any position to help out your favorite DJ, our best buddy, and an all around good dude, please consider making a donation. Every penny will go straight to Chris to help him get back on his feet after those mean guys jerked up his return to NY. As added incentive we will also mail you a small random offering from our collection of sundries. It won’t be much, but it will be something as a token of our appreciation and EVERYONE likes getting something random in the mail!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO A FUND TO HELP CHRIS REPLACE HIS GEAR. Just click DONATE HERE and let PayPal walk you thru the rest!

And while you’re there, download his albums so you can have a good karma dance party.

Thank you in advance for being super awesome!
