Jon of Pickle Productions & Quality Control [Featured Interview + Upcoming Event]

Pickle Productions present: Quality Control w/ Badklaat + Coffi + Megalodon | Tickets | Info

It's a new year and we like to start things off with a fresh vibe for Dank Radio. With the growing emergence of bass music locally here in the Los Angeles/Orange County region some have begin to feel the need of more deep vibes and less of the tear up/mid-range dubstep that has been prominent. We love all types and vibes, but sometimes it's nice to listen to proper lower frequencies and meditate on some bass music. Cue in, Jon of Pickle Productions who's throwing his first Quality Control event this Friday with the following line up: Coffi [Monsters/Gentlemens Club/DubstepFM/UK] + Badklaat [Dubstar/Bassclash/UK] + 2Mex [The Visionaries] + MC Kemst [SMOG/Pure Filth] +SamXL [Pure Filth] + Pavarotti b2b DJ Stax + Blankface b2b Maze Dubs and sound provided by Pure Filth. It's going to be a great way to start this year of fresh so let's take a few minutes to find out who's behind it all...

Dirtybird Presents: Stuff The Bird w/ Claude VonStroke + Justin Jay @ AV Nightclub [Upcoming Event + Free Concert]

Dirtybird Records | Claude VonStroke | Justin Jay | RSVP

In a previous interview the head bird of Dirtybird Records, Mr. Claude VonStroke, stated that since his recent move down here to Los Ageles he hoped to start doing LA parties. I was wondering when he would. Well wonder no more. It's quite fitting to throw a FREE RSVP ( w/ food donation of course! ) Dirtybird party the week of Turkey Day. Get it? Ok, I'll stop. You'd be a fool to pass this up. Sure he just did a local show at Control Avalon not too long ago [Review will be up shortly]. But come on, I know you guys and gals want to work up a sweat before stuffing your face w/ all types of cooked flying mammals. Don't forget to bring your canned food donation!

If you have been, then when you heard SMOG was bringing DMZ to Los Angeles for the very first time, you must have been extremely ecstatic (I know 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.

Frank Nitt [Feature Interview]

Detroit’s Frank Nitt has seen it all, more so than your average ‘keep it real’ MC. He has seen the meteoric rise and untimely death of friend, collaborator and certified hip hop legend J Dilla. He eye-witnessed Common record a platinum album, and Black Thought free-styling in a strip club parking lot. And he now chronicles his first hand experiences in the 48 page memoir The View from the Underground, which comes included in this brand new deluxe casebook edition album, Stadium Music. As Frank Nit puts it; ‘All of my travel, all of my musical influences, and all of my relationships… I talk about love on there, and hardship. I talk about just wanting to be a dope MC.‘ The album features beats and rhymes by Illa J, Que D, Dank, Kid Sublime, Kevin Cofield, Numbe:ra and others, plus a foreword by his personal acquaintance and adult film star Tara Lynn Foxx.” We chat with Frank to get the low down on Stadium Music and everything else Frank Nitt related.
Dank Radio: Can you give us a brief background about yourself, history of Frank N Dank, and how you hooked up with J D?

Frank Nitt: I've been putting out hip hop since 1998/99 as a member of FnD [Frank N Dank] and I began my solo career in 2008, I actually met dilla in 1986, we went to middle school together, so the music side just grew from that.. it wasnt a, I met a producer and we became friends, my friend became a producer!

ITS Music Playground 1 Yr Anniversary @ Exchange LA | Photo by: Panda

I have never been more proud of my friends...everybody pitched in yesterday, some working 9 hours straight, to help put together I.T.S. Music Playgrounds 1-Year Anniversary show. We held it in the middle of downtown Los Angeles at the famous Exchange LA nightclub and were chosen to head a new club night. The vibe was electric and the people were encapsulated in the amazing artwork Dana Troy had worked tirelessly to complete. All I can say is last night was a huge success and it came to be by the hard work of a small dedicated army. To all the homies, to those who came simply to help, to those who stayed to see the night through and to those who turned out to check this event, I Thank you and the I.T.S. family thanks you. BOH!!!!!!! - Chris Carreiro
