Culprit, DLaz, Droog, and Ewan Pearson celebrate America, new EP

July 2, 2009

We’ve been following the doings of Culprit, the new label and monthly party series from Droog. Over the past five months they’ve hosted their friends like Jamie Jones and our legends like John Tejada (yeah, we’re calling him a legend).

Adele, Chaka, & Janelle at the Hollywood Bowl

June 29, 2009

As KCRW’s oddly named World Festival continued on Sunday night at the Bowl, Adele and Janelle Monae got schooled in the art of being a legend by the incomparable Chaka Khan.

May 8, 2009

Ok, maybe not for the moms, but if your mom knew a thing about techno she would agree this is show to see this weekend. Both Frenchmen, Shonky released his first artist album, TimeZero, about a year ago and it was easily one of best dance records of 2008. Dyed Soundorom (that’s his real name) is making [...]

Villains in Victoria, BC

May 7, 2009

If a collection of DJs play to an empty dance floor, do they make a sound? That question was put to the test last night at Element Night Club in Victoria, where Villains played alongside Ernold Sane, KRLZ and DJ Trekk. Although the opening acts offered decent sets, it seemed to be in vain as [...]
