IHC Presents: OFF/CNTR w/ Jimmy Edgar + Addison Groove + Grenier + Sodapop @ Los Globos 2/2/13 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]

Our friends over at IHeartComix have quite the lineup to kick off their first OFF/CNTR 2013 event this Saturday February 22nd. They've rounded up the likes of Jimmy Edgar [Hot Flush|Warp|Berlin] + Addison Groove [50Weapons|Tectonic|UK] + Grenier [Tectonic|Frite Nite] + Sodapop [Anticon] to perform at Los Globos. We've been spinning Jimmy Edgar's recent productions with Machinedrum under the creative alias, Jets, on a handful of recent Dank Radio episodes. For those of you who saw the Disclosure b2b Skream Boiler Room set that was Jets [Jimmy Edgar + Machinedrum] who did the set right before them. I wish I knew if Addison Groove's set is going to be LIVE or DJ. I guess you're going to have to go to find out. You can get your tickets here. Many thanks to Steve and the whole IHC crew for their ticket giveaway to this event on our Dank Radio broadcast titled Oneness. Click below to try out some music treats.

Focus OC Present: Blond:ish 1/22 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]

This Tuesday we are proud to bring you the Orange County debut of Blond:ish [Official | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud] ! This will be an exclusive So Cal appearance by the duo (Anstacia & Vive-Ann) and we are super excited. In the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe which focuses on the art of creating music that is organic and multi-dimensional. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specific category.

Their tracks have been featured on labels like Get Physical, NM2 (Noir Music 2), Mile End, Defected and more. This duo rides off each other's hefty musical knowledge and flawless technique with their diverse personas only adding to the intrigue. Anstascia's unruly demeanor and creative spark spirals against Vivie-Ann's scientific and geek-chic flair in a whirlwind of inspiration and contrast. The result is a force to be reckoned with, a vibe that effortlessly transcends in the studio, behind the booth and more than anything, to the dancefloor.

This will definitely be a big night for us especially since this is the only place in Southern California you can see Blond:ish play [Purchase tickets here]. - Focus OC

Focus OC Present: Miguel Migs 1/15 [Upcoming Event]

Focus OC | Miguel Migs : Official | Facebook | Tickets

Miguel Migs is a DJ that has received critical and commercial success that most in the deep house community can only dream of. He's been nominated on the Beatport poll as "Best Deep House Producer" and has been a staple of the West Coast's house music scene since the mid 90s. He’d also become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music stable with his singles, remixes and compilations as Petalpusher. His mix CD "Nude Tempo 1" has to be one of the best house music mix CDs ever released and the tracks he's been putting out on his own label, Salted Music, are phenomenal to say the least. To have a man that has done so much for house music at our humble spot is truly an honor. Don't miss this Tuesday it's going to be one incredible night!

We have had Miguel Migs at Focus a few times before and they've always been huge nights so early arrival or presale tickets are suggested. - Focus OC

Hatcha - Old School Garage Mix 2004 [DJ Mix + Upcoming Event]

Hatcha - Old School Garage Mix 2004 by Fabric on Mixcloud

We here at Dank Radio like to know our history. Not just of music and where certain vibes have emerged from, but history in general. While many are clamoring and arguing on the direction dubstep has taken in recent year or so, there are many who forget where it comes from. They don't really get it's roots. Like fabricated described in his wrap up of Hatcha's performance at SMOG not too long ago, Hatcha is one to educate. In preparation of his upcoming Fabric set this Friday Jan. 18th at Fabric, Fabric has released an oldie set from him circa 2004. Unfortunately we don't have the track list for it. So you're just going to have to let it ride and enjoy the vibes.

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.

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."

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.

Control and Dirtybird present: Claude VonStroke + Justin Martin | Tickets 

The OG Dirtybirds are back in Los Angeles! I've been fortunate enough to have experienced both of these fine and funny artists a couple of times this past year. Always with smiles on their faces and enough bass to more our asses, I guaranDAMNtee that you'll be making your booty clap all night long this Friday. If you're not into the booty clapping thing that's fine, I'm sure they'll be having you do all sorts of push up push down dances that'll make even the prettiest birds sing to you "Don't Go" or better yet, "Lezgo!" I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a drum & bass track or two and at the very least JM better bust out his Goldie edit of Kemistry. If you've been paying attention to the more recent Dank Radio editions as well as some of my live mixes you've noticed an increase of the Dirtybirds over time. We seriously can't wait for this show. See you on the dance floor! Purchase your tickets for Control HERE.
