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...

JazzReggae Festival 2011 - Jam Day [Concert Review]

The 25th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA: Official | Facebook | Twitter
A week has passed and enough time has gone by to allow all the memories of a great memorial day weekend to sink deep into the cavities and secret back doors of the mind's infinite hallways. School is out for most, if not all and the weather was perfect for an afternoon of sun + music + fun. Before we get into the actual festival let's back track and explain how we got there: After repeated unanswered attempts [lost track of how many e-mails] fate would smile down upon us the weekend before the event when we met Cole and his fellow Bruins of JazzReggae Fest post interview with TruthSeekers [Shout out Santana & Crew!]. Brief introduction + exchange of contacts + a handful more e-mails = green light for Dank Radio to review the event. [Shout out to John for being instrumental in the final process] (I'm sharing this info to you all so you can get a picture of how these things work. If you have questions please ask. I'd be more than happy to explain the process.)

JazzReggae Festival 2011 [Documentary + Line Up]

The 25th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA: Official | Tickets
Despite all the parties, clubs, concerts, etc. we tend to frequent, we here at Dank Radio love community events. For the people, by the people. So we're delightfully surprised that we were sent the documentary below celebrating the 25th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA. We had so many questions about how the event came about and who was responsible for organizing it. This was THE perfect way to answer all of our questions. Not to mention give a voice to the people behind the scenes and have them explain what the JazzReggae Fest means to them. If you look closely you can see L from Truth Seekers Radio make an appearance [Shout out to Santana and the whole crew]. Without any further ado here's the documentary along with a few words to summarize the whole thing. Below you will also find a selection of artists that you may or may not know but you should definitely check out.

Coachella Special

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and joined us for this special show. Special shoutouts to Truthseekers Radio (thanks for the new tunes) and to Asceticfish/Wendell for the surprise visit. Below you'll find the playlist as well as a couple free MP3s for you to check out. We'll be living the Coachella experience that whole weekend so if you see us please give us a shout. We'd love to hang, groove, dance, sing, chant, party, and etc. with you.
