Coachella Cornucopia I - Madeon [Tour Dates]


Madeon : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud

Now that we have the full line up for this years Coachella, the fun activity of learning about each performer begins. There are a little over 120 artists this year and a little under 90 something days until the festivities begin in Indio, California. I'd like to think I'm familiar with about a third of the line up so this will not only help me explore new musical realms, but it'll help you get familiar as well. I'll try my best to keep this daily. There's a lot of madness between now and April so forgive me if I miss a day or two. Let's begin...

LA Weekly presents: Hipsters Heart Hip Hop - 1 Year Anniversary [Feature Interview]


Hipsters Heart Hip Hop : Official | Facebook

The following Feature Interview has to be the easiest + fastest I ever went from meeting an event organizer to getting the feature published. As lady luck on my side I met Adam Weiss aka AdamantiumMC|Dirty Daddy this past weekend during the Truth Seekers program right before Dank Radio broadcasted live on air. I'm pretty sure I set a record for introducing myself + explaining who Dank Radio is + what we do for event organizers + agreeing upon a type of Feature + exchanging contact information. It took all of 2 minutes for this to happen while the whole time I was mentally prepping for our In-Studio guest and the uncertainty of what songs to play during our show.

Enough back story. Below you will learn about Hipster Heart Hip Hop from one of it's founders and what it will evolve into. Not only that, but you'll discover how luck comes into play when locking down some of the most talented artists in the current Hip Hop|Beat scene. You'll also find a special mix by DJ Stereotype comprised of music from all the artists performing...

I.T.S. Presents : Beats For A Bench [Feature Interview]


I.T.S. Presents : Beats For A Bench : Event Info | Pre Sale Tickets

Over the past year it has become even more apparent to me that the city of Long Beach is becoming more and more organized in terms of quality music events. Sure you can say I'm biased because I'm involved with a handful of events. I'm also biased because a good number of my friends are creating/nurturing these events. Regardless of my ties to the city it's safe to say we have something to say and more importantly we stand for something. Whether it be for music, fun, family, or the benefit of our fellow human beings.

Recently through various circles of music heads I met a man who also stands for something. To trail it back a couple steps we clicked because we liked the same music. Whenever I meet another being who diggs what I digg then we automatically click. Enter Steven Kerns, who gave me a heads up about this event he was organizing for a fallen comrade. I asked him who was performing and he told me. I asked him where was it going to be held and he said, "Long Beach." That's more than enough info for me right there. I'd go into greater detail, but I'm just going to let him do most of the talking...

Robots & Angels Present: Bomb Zombies + Thavius Beck + 2mex + Rahfee Zahkee 1|20|11 [Concert Review]


Robots & Angels [Official | Facebook | Twitter] @ Blue Cafe

Robots & Angels returned to the Underground of Blue Cafe for another night of quality music. But on this night the focus was shifted on not so much the traditional band but more of the contemporary producer and lyricist. Having two of the residents from the hallowed Low End Theory come down to Long Beach was surely a treat. DJ Nobody and MC Nocando both talented artists on their own right combined like Goku and Vegeta to form Bomb Zombies. We were also treated by bass bumping beat focused set by the locally based and internationally traveled Ableton sensei Thavius Beck. Unfortunately Jon Wayne was unable to perform due to illness but luckily for us 2mex was able to step in and fill the lyrical void. And to round off the night of beats emulating from computerized contraptions was Rahfee Zahkee...
