A Graphic Designer/ Illustrator and one hell of a producer. His remix of Deft- "Thought You'd Fancy it" is just amazing and also his tune " Irenidae". If you are feeling that smooth Electronic sound be sure to check him out and support. Enjoy!

DMZ. These three letters should ring a bell for anyone who has been following the dubstep scene for a while.
If you have been, then when you heard SMOG was bringing DMZ to Los

I was!).
Digital Mystikz, aka Mala [Deep Medi Musik, DMZ, UK] and
Coki [Tempa, DMZ, UK], took to the decks Sunday for SMOG’s completely sold
out Sunday Night Sessions at Los Globos. Kahn [Punch Drunk, UK] and Steady

bassweight for the rest of the evening.

Kelis - 4th of July (Rusko Remix)
This would be an appropriate track to drop if you were to have a DJ gig today. If you don't DJ, you could still play it on your iPod/iPhone speakers during your 4th of July festivities. Both Rusko and Calvin Harris' version are great adaptations of the original. No matter which one you go with I'm sure it'll audibly please yourself and your audience.

Save Ferris - Come On Eileen
I can't help but listen to ska music whenever I have a day off. It's like a natural energetic pick it up pick it up kind of energy. I don't think I ever got a chance to see Save Ferris with it's original line up, but later down the road I did have a chance to play on the same bill with their second evolution Starpool, which coincidentally is named after Starpool Records which put out Save Ferris' first album "Introducing Save Ferris". I'll be posting a skanky tune here and there as the summer progresses.

Sublime - Doin' Time
Happy Fourth of July everyone residing in the US. It's a beautiful cloudy day here in Long Beach. People are with their families and friends at the parks and on the beach. I can smell my neighbors bbq carne asadas and chicken. There's no work and no school for most of us so it's all fun times all around. Hope everyone has a good time and please be safe out there. Find yourself a designated driver and remember to shout Hootie Hoo when you see cops.

Rackin' Up Rock The Bells 2012 [ Gwatsky + Artist Feature + Tickets On Sale ]
And we're back with another blog series [ no not your hum drum shoot me in the eye type of blog ] but something truly out of this world. Dank Radio and I are proud to present to you "Racking up Rock The Bells." A blog series that gives you the opportunity to know these artisits and their crafts, what they represent and ofcourse what you can expect at this mammoth of a hip hop festival. First up in our series is the acclaimed wordsmith Gwatsky.
I'm not even going to lie. I'm guilty of judging this book by it's cover, in my head i was thinking, "What in the blue blazes is this guy all about, and how the hell did he get on the set list for the biggest Rock The Bells yet?" After a couple of hours of research i ended up putting my foot in my mouth. Gwatsky, more formally known as George Watsky is astounding for many reasons, and although his music is well on its way to perfection, Gwatsky doesn't necessarily take it to the next level. BUT, he does take it back. Understand that Hip Hop wasn't born as this musical entity that heavily perpetuated partying, money, hoes, and clothes. Hip Hop, as i've understood it to be as simply spoken word laced over a beat. I really do believe that a lot of artist have forgotten the roots of their craft, what's ironic is that Gwatsky who would, at a glance, be considered "out of place" in the hip hop community, has successfully emulated Hip Hop at it's origins - at it's earliest stages. Now if you watch his debut on Russel Simmon's sixth season of "Def Poetry" you just might get goosebumps. This young man has been able to enroll the audience into each and every word, to make them feel, and believe his poetic prose. it's just Amazing. ( In Fact i've fallen back in love with Spoken Word. )
Now this summer at Rock The Bells 2012 he may not be performing his spoken word poetry but what you can expect from him is witty lyricism and impressive- eye brow raising cadence. Admittedly his sound as a musician/ artist is a little more difficult to quickly appreciate, but if you listen to his carefully formatted rhymes, flows, his cadence, delivery, and ofcourse his creative illustration depicted by words, you really have no choice but to let his rhymes expand your mind. It's not very hard to see how Gwatsky has become so acclimated and respected by all walks of life within the industry. If your curious to see what this wordsmith can do, his mixtapes are available on bandcamp and his album "Watsky" is available on iTunes for official purchase. Gwatsky's going to bless this year's Rock The Bells with some knowledge and real OG hip hop - spoken word laced over a beat - the way only George Watsky can do it.
For The Love Of Music,
Queenie G
Anna Lunoe & Flume- I Met You [Official Music Video]

Para One- "Passion" [New Album + Music Video]
So much respect for Para One's newest album "Passion". I say this because this album is the reason why we should appreciate different genres of Electronic Music. Every track on this album has its own unique sound. The track "When The Sound" has that disco, neo funk, techno feel to it, while the track " Lean On Me" has that 80s retro sound. So that saying explore the sounds of Para One and Enjoy!.
