SMOG presents: Joker + Plastician @ The Observatory | Tickets

Not too long ago when Fabricated approached Drew of SMOG to say "hello" and get some intel on what they had planned for the upcoming year, Drew replied with, "Just wait and see." Around that time Joker tweeted something to the affect of "USA NYE & January!" I had a gut feeling, but I wasn't sure. Now it's for sure and everyone in the LA/LB/OC area is buzzing with excitement. The last time he was here was for Beyond Wonderland. I don't even remember what year that was. So we're long overdue for Purple City. Put your Sega controller down and purchase your tickets HERE. Also performing: Plastician + Footsie (Newham Generals) + Son Of Kick + Pawn [SMOG] + Kelly Dean [SMOG]. We're also giving away a pair of tickets to the show on our upcoming Dank Radio program Awakening  featuring EshOne this Saturday Morning January 5th on KPFK 90.7FM LA // www.kpfk.org WoldWideStream. Tune in from 4am-6am and Call 818 985 5735 for your chance to win...

SMOG Presents: Von D @ SMOG Sundays 6/10/12 [Concert Review]

French bass music producer Von D was in town for his first LA appearance, and let me tell you, I was pumped that he was going to be at SMOG Sundays. Even though he came on a weekend that a good amount of the LA crowd was in Las Vegas for EDC, that didn't bother me ‘cause that meant more room and bass for me. Von D is underrated with his style – he brings that "sexy" form of bass music with female vocals while also bringing in that dark and deep bass. I use the word “sexy” because of his track "Show Me" – just take a listen to his latest LP "Daydreaming," and you will understand. 

Beyond Wonderland 2011 [Caterpillar's Garden Line Up Update: Joker & MC Nomad Added]

UK dubstep/grime producer Joker and MC Nomad have been confirmed and added to the already huge line up for the Caterpillar's Garden stage at Beyond Wonderland, which features the devastating subsonic sounds of dubstep and drum & bass. This young producer, in his early 20s, is known for his groovy and melodic tracks. He's been up and coming in the dubstep/grime scene as a producer these past three years with releases on labels such as Tectonic, Hench, Hyperdub, and his very own Kapsize. Check out his hit track "Purple City" below!

Here's what the Beyond Wonderland site had to say about Joker:

The Caterpillars Garden gets the addition of one of today's rising Grime and Dubstep stars. Joker has only been in the spotlight since 2008 but since bursting onto the scene he has released a relentless stream of hits. Artists like Little Boots, Jon Spencer and Simian Mobile Disco have all been more than willing to have their tracks remixed by this tastemaker.

Please join us in welcoming Joker and MC Nomad to the Beyond Wonderland 2011 lineup.
