January 3, 2012

So it *may* have taken us a day or so to recover from the big bang of a New Years Eve our team had this year, but now we have shaken off the post-party blues and now we are MORE THAN AMPED for all the 2012 *newness* and parties that will be coming our way! For all of you who didn’t make the silly mistake of vowing to “ease up” on your wild ways this new year (let’s just see how long that will last…) there’s heaps of opportunities this brand new year to get down to killa beats and all up to no good…

This month we’re also including a new section on our party guide titled **WEEKLIES** filling you in on regular shindigs around town we super dig and are, more times than not, free to enjoy and even easier to love…

Shout to my fellow Aquariuses – this is our month water baybays. Let’s get super weird.

December 28, 2011

I feel like the title is self-explanatory.

1. HARVARD BASS + Anthony Attalla at the W Hotel

From personal experience, I am 100% convinced this will be an amazing party. We were asked to host an ALL locals NYE party W Hotel wide last year, and honest to G it is still in my mind one of the coolest parties I have ever done. This year, they’ve bolstered the roster up a B-I-G notch, featuring SD’s hometown hero HARVARD BASS and Anthony Attalla.

Harvard Bass has thrown down some epic performances this year, and just last week at El Dorado he threw down an off-the-wall party-jam laden set that totally lit the place up and quickly facilitated the knocking back of gratuitous amounts of drinks. I have no doubt Harvard Bass will shut down the old year and ring in the new year the right away. And if it’s anything like it was last year, The W Hotel certainly won’t throw an anything less than stellar shindig. Pricey, but worth it. $80.

PRO MIX TIP: DEFINITELY GET A HOTEL ROOM. Trying to find a taxi home from Little Italy on NYE is an absolute NIGHTMARE. And the rooms were made for after parties…  Search Hotel Rates Here

+

2. TIMEWAVE ZERO feat. EPROM + EshOne + Mike Gao + More at Kava Lounge

SD’s beats scene and the corresponding local artists have been rapidly gaining attention, and thus the heavyweights of the scene SUBLMNL, LIQUID GEOMETRY, and DATASET are coming together and throwing a massive end-of-the-year SHUT DOWN party. SF’s EPROM will be headlining the evening, and good homie of TheMixster.com, EshOne (aka DON VALDEZ) will be high-tailing it from ABQ to ring in the New Year with rumored exclusives-just-for-the-evening: a collection of ball-dropping, sticky-floor-inducing countdown closers. Other not-to-miss sets of the evening from Mike Gao, HMT DMT and Misk will certainly be worth every penny of the thrifty $15 presale $20 ticket.

That not enough to convince you? Then check THIS baybay out:

3. El Dorado’s ROARING NEW YEARS EVE PARTY

Of course, El Dorado is going to have an amazing NYE party. I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t. The optional theme of “1920s Flapper attire” is a great excuse to feed that empty space in my heart left by the season finale of “Boardwalk Empire” and trusted locals The Office Twins, Groundfloor, Adam Salter, and Blancnoire will be behind the decks. If you RSVP & arrive before 10:30pm entry is only $10! And bottles of champagne are only $25 a pop (pun!) all night long. A sure fire win all around

More Info & RSVP here

+

4. LED PRESENTS: OMFG! At SD Sports Arena.

On NYE I personally opt for the more intimate family and friends inside neighborhood bar dance parties. However, the line-up as always for LED PRESENTS’ NYE bash is resoundingly epic, and if you have the heart to brave the rave this NYE, I would without a doubt point you this very direction. It’s San Diego’s own Wonderland, TAO/ whatever else is going on in LA experience, conveniently being held just 10 minutes away from Downtown SD. 18+/21+ to booze. $75-$150. 21+ Ticket price includes entry to 5am NYD party at Voyeur.

Buy Tickets Here.

+

5. GET SEXUAL w/ EVOL INTENT + REID SPEED + GRIDLOK at Brick by Brick

This is without a doubt the best DnB party happening in ALL of California on NYE. The line-up couldn’t be more stacked with massive names from all over the bass music realm including Gridlok, EVOL INTENT, Reid Speed, along with SD’s own trusted inner circle of local jungle heads. And the price is right entry wise $25 so if DnB is your steeze, this is 100% where you will want to be NYE. Party goes til 3AM and there will be hosted well drinks & beer from 9pm-10pm.

5. BALLIN OUTTA TOWN– Snow Globe Festival

At this very moment in time, I am still kicking myself for not going to this. Had the transportation options from San Diego been somewhat less nightmarish and complicated I would be at Snow Globe Festival in an absolute HEARTBEAT. The line-up for the 3 day festival taking place in South Lake Tahoe is brilliant, fresh, essentially, the top-notch peak of the gold standard. Our friends at BLAP Productions are throwing an after party after each night of the festival, each with incredible (and obviously envy-inducing) line-ups of their own. Tickets are $150 for all three days, hotel rates are reasonable, and the experience we can only predict, will have the rest of us kicking ourselves for the rest of the year. FUCK.

Buy Tickets Here

There’s an option for NYE that fits anyone’s budget and we know any party that’s made our short list, will certainly not disappoint. Follow us on Twitter, and we’ll keep you up-to-date on after parties/NYD party action cuz we’ll no doubt be dawn-lurking about with the rest of you crackheads.

Happy New Year Mixsters!!!

Personally speaking, I’ve been really looking forward to this one. The fine gents at Technical Support TV, behind SD UNION, SD DnB’s biggest monthly event, in association with Eric Yo! Presents have asked us at TheMixster.com, along with fellow bass-centric crews Organized Grime and DEEP, to participate in their annual charity food drive/ local Bass music collective celebration! Nothing like a little holiday reveling with our SD bass fam, mint sound, and gratuitous amounts of ice cold & bottled up boozy cheer, all under the same roof – and all for a good cause to boot!

Kicking off the party will be Technical Support TV‘s DJ HEVROCK throwing down a thoughtfully crunked-out collection of emerging hip-hop drops and rare old skool gems. After that will be Bassbinge Ent‘s SWAN DIVE who will be bringing shifty drummed tracks and grimy dub textures sure to leave the dance floor in a riotous upheaval.

Organized Grime‘s Tryxx in cahoots with Oozi MC will be following suit with a thoroughly sinister selection of Dnb, and leading off the top for the evening will be SD’s own very emblem of the DnB scene & DEEP‘s Delano for a final aural assault of the evening.

Fresh off the plate –
Take On DEEP – Live Mix by DJ Delano by The_Mixster

The night will be hosted and revelously MC’d by SD’s renowned DnB speakerheads MCs Ridda & Subliminal.

Now I know these boys don’t usually let just ANYONE walk into THEIR HOUSE and play a MOOMBAHTON SET.
Therefore, I’m both delighted and honored that my OG bass compadres have ever-so-kindly asked us to bring in one of our very favorite selectas within the realm!! And I could think of no better person than SEAN FIZZ to bring not only both energetic bass-laden tropical heat and masterful mixing skills, but to represent our local moombah cult as a whole. SEAN FIZZ is a two-time ¡BAJATON! veteran whose impeccable track selection – featuring searing hot moombahcore floor-fillers and saucy aaaas tropical bootybass bangers – have never failed to absolutely incite reckless havoc from wall-to-wall. His set starts at 9:30pm-ish so come early and rage til late.

New Wave of Moombahton Vol. 1
The newest and long-awaited collection of Generation Bass‘ NEW WAVE of moombah sounds are being released through MIXMAG this Monday. However our favorite leading lady of moombahton Viciouz Viv has dropped a clever mix of those very anticipated mid tempo grooves:

Me personally: I applaud and unabashedly support ANYONE who is dedicated to pushing our scene local forward. AND WHO DO NOT COP OUT AND MOVE TO LA.

And a party that has continually supported top-notch under-the-radar sounds for three successful years running, certainly will never fail to get a nod of approval from me. Thus, I would like to most enthusiastically recommend you attend Moonshake’s Three Year Anniversary this evening. Moonshake takes place every 1st/3rd Fridays and it is a party run by residents, Dr. Indulgent, Bob Dazzla, & Mark E Quark, that celebrates a healthy dose of fresh, thoughtfully-selected sounds that will take you on “an adventure into future disco, spacey house, and techey grooves.”  Sounds like a perfect balance of weird, wonderful, and delightfully groove-worthy to me. Add in their promises of “LIGHTS / HEAT / STROBE / SWEAT” & NO COVER ALL NIGHT LONG & a ONE-handed DJ set!?!?!

*swoon*

Yes. I WILL see you there. And once again, cheers to a successful three years compadres, and hopefully three more to come. Thanks again for keeping San Diego dance floors alive and “debauched.”

While Dillon Francis‘ latest drops have been more forward on the electro house tips, I refuse to disregard his absolutely searing moombah bangers that spearheaded his rapidly ascent up the EDM food chain and his name soaring like a global whirlwind across the blogosphere.

I have written an unsettling amount and gushed my unabashed praise for young LA-native Dillon Francis in the past. SO instead I would like to direct your attention to this incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive article about Dillon Francis I read recently, which can be found in Vol.4 of Scion A/V web “Zine”.

By way of experienced foresight (slash self-acknowledgement of my own personal bad interweb habits), for those who distress over simply clicking through to yet ANOTHER webpage, you may peruse the aforementioned article in the screen shot I’ve provided for y’all below:

2011 has been a tremendous year for the moombahton. But mark my words, 2012 will be the year of the MOOMB. And Dillon Francis, fingers crossed, will continue to hold down the a co-pilot seat at the forefront, should he shift back into his teethy-mid-tempo-dancefloor tearing-always-clad-with-a-big-ol- sneaky-smile ways.

My friend Stephen Vasquez, of fellow forefrontin’ moombahton production two-piece, Sazon Booya, shot this kick ass video for Dillon’s single I.D.G.A.F.O.S. –>

“I brought this ham for everyone!!!”

If all that doesn’t compel you to buy the $15 ticket to the show… Perhaps this tantalizing selection of addictive audible goodies might sway your ways…

December 7, 2011

My very favorite time of each and every month is very fast approaching!!! There’s no day that I look forward to more than the first Wednesday of every single month as means one thing, and one thing onlllyyyyyyy: ¡¡¡¡BAJATON!!!!

IF YOU DON’T KNOW BY NOW WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?!, ¡BAJATON! is our monthly celebration of tropical sounds surrounded by all of our lovely forward-thinking friends inside of  our very favorite San Diego haunt – at El Dorado Cocktail Lounge. And this month is certainly no exception cuz we’ve really out done ourselves this time.. Cuz we refuse to close out this year with anything less than one absolutely top-notch BANGer!!!! And that very occasion, happens to be going down…. TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! (RSVP HERE)

We’re exasperated with delighted and totally honored to have [deep breath] NYC’s SAZON BOOYA!!!!!!! Along with their legendary hypeman/international masked man of mystery MYSTEREO headlining our 4th edition of ¡BAJATON!

I could honestly go on for hours (and I have) about the many reasons why SAZON BOOYA not only excite my aural senses on so many levels but also FASCINATE THE HELL OUT OF ME. SO INSTEAD, I’ve chose to subtly label TEN TWELVE worthy points of interest that I believe would invoke a degree of fascination out of just about anyone – moombah lover or not.

For one thing, (1) the two incredibly cool dudes of Sazon Booya, Mr. Vega & DJ SAV, have been producing together for LESS THAN A YEAR. And yet (2) their first single ever, “lluvia” was debuted on moombahton’s founding father, DAVE NADA‘s website and Soundcloud. Not sure if it’s just me, but I sure as heck can’t name one other artist whose FIRST TRACK EVER was initially debuted by the CREATOR OF THE GENRE ITSELF?!?!  Sazon Booya continued making news-worthy moves by (3) dropping the first EVER Moombahton music video for their single “La Bomba” which no-less zealously (4) premiered on their friend Skrillex’s Facebook page shared by over 1.7 million fans.

KEEP GOING – More after the JUMP!!!


Alright, alright. So SOME people may or may not know fully “get” the whole Moombahton thing yet. And that’s cool… So what makes Sazon Booya relevant and equally worthy of note to everyone outside the Moombah realm!?

FUCKING HEAPS!!!

Between countless and furious all-nighter studio benders, DJ SAV, one half of Sazon Booya, (5) runs his video production company: One & Only Productions. The video production company renowned for a few worthwhile projects, including THE ELECTRO WARS: the groundbreaking documentary that was featured on Pitchfork.com earlier this year that explored the evolution of the Electro genre amongst the American audience over the past three years – (6) directed by Stephen Vasquez; aka DJ SAV himself. Although Vasquez is hard at work and anxious to finish the forthcoming sequel to Electro Wars, RETURN OF THE SYNTH, he couldn’t reasonably turn down the jaw-dropping offer from arguably EDM’s most universally-recognized icon (7) Skrillex when he asked Vasquez and his team to be his primary film crew for his world and his North American-wide Mothership Tours. Since then, Vasquez and his team have not only followed Skrillex around the world at each and every one of his tour stops, but he has also added a few extra notches to his fancy belt when he filmed and directed (8) Skrillex’s “Rock n Roll” music, and (9) ALL of fellow moombah-giant Dillon Francis‘ latest videos for his single “I.D.G.A.F.O.S.”

Including this little gem below:

Although still based in the big city,  Mr. Vega keeps himself no less busy than his other production half; not only (9) putting out his own solo releases under the name MR. VEGA but also (10) running and managing premiere dance music record label, Rot10 Musik: which distributes no less than one charting Beatport release per week and is responsible for introducing the world to some of the moombah realm’s most promising emerging talent.

And despite intense, globally-spanned high-profile tour obligations & top-tier talent labels to run, together Sazon Booya are consistently breaking sonic ground and tirelessly working in the studio to keep up with the endless amount of remix offers and compilation work they have thrown their way. Not only have Sazon Booya failed to skip a beat, as a matter of fact, they seem to be at least 3 steps ahead of the industry beat. THEY HAVE TRANSCENDED THE BEAT.

Less than 4 months following their previous EP release “La Bomba,” and dotted with at least two dozen singles in between, Sazon Booya eagerly released their latest,Moonlight EP” off Rot10 Musik last week: (11) Their Moonlight EP, merely 4 original tracks deep, is arguably one of the most impeccably well-rounded and stunning releases the Moombahton realm has seen to date. And such noteworthy achievements rarely go unnoticed: Dozens of top-tier music blogs (including this one) instantaneously sung their praise around the EDM realm and the response across Beatport charts was no less enthusiastic. After only 24 hours the release hit #48 the charts; and (12) seven days later, they have skyrocketed all the way to the #4 position on Beatport’s ELECTRO HOUSE charts!!

If you haven’t heard this incredible EP you need to stop EVERYTHING you’re doing, and do so here —->

Sazon Booya – Moonlight EP by Sazon Booya

And, I haven’t even started to talk about Sazon Booya’s biggest fan of them all: their hypeman, MYSTEREO.

WHO IS MYSTEREO?! TO BE FRANK, I haven’t the slightest idea. WHAT I DO KNOW IS  Sazon Booya’s masked man of mystery evokes waves of incomprehensible pleasure over the masses, instilling a great and inconceivable sensation of maniacal tingles and electrifying bad behavior-inducing chills to all those who witness his momentous and graceful performances.

Along with SAZON BOOYA + MYSTEREO, we are also honored to be hosting another rapidly emerging moombah-centric shining star duo BLACK TONGUES for their FIRST EVER San Diego show!!! But what makes this addition EPICALLY COOL, is the fact that our headliner Sazon Booya, did an ahhhhhmazing remix of Black Tongues’ “LA FIESTA”, and actually it’s definitely one of my personal favorite moombah releases of the year! But WHOA. Talk about inner-event *SYNERGY*!!!!

Black Tongues – La Fiesta (Sazon Booya Remix)

And these cool gents were kind enough to make us an **EXCLUSIVE BAJATON MIX – ¡BAJATON CLASICOS! to fully amp up the enormity and awesomeness of this show:

BLACK TONGUES – ¡BAJATON CLASICOS! Mini Mix by The_Mixster

We will also be celebrating the release of our OFFICIAL ¡BAJATON! PROMO video tonight, handcrafted by our homie TREVOR DEAN featuring key and VERY VISUALLY CANDID highlights from all of our past ¡BAJATON! events!

Along with our stacked outta-towner line-up, we have our trusted circle of resident ¡BAJATON SELECTAS!, COLOUR VISION, Roane, and ULTRAKNOCK, to round-out what is destined to be ONE VERY UNABASHEDLY TROPICAL AND RECKLESS MID WEEK BENDER!!

December 2, 2011

LA native, Jason Stewart, better known to the greater EDM/hipster-sphere as Them Jeans, has been an integral part of Dim Mak‘s inner circle of trust almost since the label’s very inception. As the main promoter and resident DJ of LA’s infamous DIM MAK TUESDAYS – responsible for curating and hosting some of the biggest indie/electro school night curfew-crushing RAGERS for over 7 years running, Them Jeans is considered to be one of the key proponents and foremost tastemakers in the sonic diversification of LA’s burgeoning underground/hip-centric club scene. His personal arsenal of his own productions contains an eclectic yet consistently floor-flooding collection of remixes and tracks that range from tropical big room to classic indie electro reflips and even to, a more recent, head first dive into techno. His diversified and genre-boundless approach to his sound is reflected in his unparalleled ability to forecast next-level sounds; the personal contribution of which has had irrefutable significance in shaping the Dim Mak empire into the globally-renowned super EDM power that it is today.

Despite the impending chaos of the county-wide BLACK-OUT that had struck the almighty City of Los Angeles just hours prior, Them Jeans was kind enough to sit down inside his LA pad (assumably in the dark) and have a lighthearted conversation with us. With no lack of dry humor and inferred idolization for Diplo involved, we chatted about his new DJ talk show podcast, TALL TALES, the somewhat surprising direction of sound of his more recent & forthcoming releases, his gourmand-approved Twitter, and about being really, really tall.

***

TheMixster.com: It’s been a minute since we’ve last seen you in San Diego. So perhaps for the peeps who are new to the nightlife scene and maybe haven’t heard you spin before let’s start from the beginning – How did you first get involved with Dim Mak?

Them Jeans: Well I started the Tuesday Night parties then after 6 months or so, I brought in Aoki and we’ve been doing it ever since.

TheMixster.com: How would you describe your role with Dim Mak now?

Them Jeans: I just do parties with them, that’s all! Steve and I have done 100s of parties over the years together and we help each other. He uses his power of being “Steve Aoki” and I use my skills of figuring out what’s cool, who to book, what kind of music they should be playing, and generally making sure that the overall vibe of every party is not lame.

TheMixster.com: Let’s talk about your Tall Tales’ podcast. You just started doing your new talkshow podcast this past August. And you’ve already had some pretty impressive guest hosts on the show– including Justin Martin, Drop the Lime, AC Slater, Felix Cartal among several other high-profile names. What has been the best or the most memorable Tall Tales Podcast for you thus far?

Them Jeans: My favorite podcast thus far is the Drop The Lime one because we got drunk and there was a bunch of people.. Usually it’s just me and like one or two more people and it’s a bit more intimate. But that one was him and his whole band, and all my friends were there. It was more like a big party. Definitely one of the most fun ones for me. (Link to Podcast)

TheMixster.com: There’s a lot of shit on the internet these days. So what makes Tall Tales special? Why would someone tune into your podcast?

Them Jeans: As far as I know I have the only DJ podcast that has no music. It’s 100% talk show only. There’s a lot of DJ podcasts out there, and there’s a lot of talk show podcasts out there. And usually DJs have bad interviews and they’ve been asked the same questions over and over again. Present company excluded of course! (note: thanks for that.) A lot of times you know, and I’m sure you’ve read a lot of DJ interviews with like the same 10 questions over and over again. One my show I ask questions so that discussions gets a little deeper and talk about random stuff [listeners] might not know about.

TheMixster.com: Are there any artists/guests you have lined up already for some future shows?

Them Jeans: We have The Juan Maclean coming in this week, hopefully soon we’ll have Congorock… Kinda really just whoever’s in town, which changes every week. It’s really just when we have DJ friends in town.

TheMixster.com: Is there someone that you get or still get a little starstruck by in particular?

Them Jeans: Yea, I’d say probably… I really liked hanging out with Mr. Oizo and playing with him. I don’t idolize him but I really admire him for everything he does and I’m a big fan of his. Even though he’s not a giant star, he still made me a little nervous. A little giddy.

TheMixster.com: For the most part, you’re known for your endless collection dance floor-ready remixes. Is there one element you look for in particular when deciding which tracks are worthy of a ‘Them Jeans’ reflipping?’

Them Jeans:
Well one thing is.. I like to take songs that don’t have drums on them. So that way it’s like working with a blank canvas, one that I can create a new song out of. I just did a remix for Childish Gambino, and [the original version] is a heavy song. The beat is kind of a heavier electro kind of song, and then I made it like kind of girly, mellow, into a nice piano song. I just like showing different sides of tracks that most may have never thought of or noticed before…

TheMixster.com: As the master remixer extraordinare, I’m curious: if you could choose ANY three artists to remix YOUR own original tracks, who would you choose?

Them Jeans: Whoa that’s a good one! Mr. Oizo would be one of them. Erol Alkan… Annnddddd, this is a tough one… Wait for it, it’s gonna come to me… Oh yea, and Diplo.

TheMixster.com: Duh.

Them Jeans: Duhhhhhh!

TheMixster.com: What do you have planned for us in 2012? Saw you just put up a track called “Voodoo” about a month ago… Can we hope/expect to see more original Them Jeans tracks or possibly a full release?

Them Jeans: Actually “Voodoo” has not been released yet. We’re waiting on the whole package of remixes, so hopefully it will come out next month, maybe the beginning of next year… I have a remix coming out soon, and I am also working on some techno originals right now but not really sure what’s gonna happen to them yet.. I’ve been into the techno music lately, making original stuff…

“Voodoo” w/ Anna Lunoe by Them Jeans

Prince Club-”Fruit Boots” (Them Jeans Remix) by Them Jeans


TheMixster.com: What! Last time I saw you you were drunk at a small indie club playing hard electro jams. That’s a big change!


Them Jeans:
HAHA! yea as you can see I have a problem jumping all over the place…

TheMixster.com: How’s that considered a problem?! You can only tell because you’re like 8 ft. tall.


Them Jeans: (
laughs) yea I that’s why I don’t get away with it.


TheMixster.com: Have you ever met a DJ that’s taller than you?


Them Jeans:
ummm actually no…. I’ve never met a DJ that’s taller than me. I met one in Australia who was the SAME height as me. But not taller. Haha. I’m the tallest DJ! Woo!


TheMixster.com: What’s one track you have in arsenal that’s been getting a great reaction from the dance floor these days?

Them Jeans: Um…. Well um other than Rhianna and Calvin Harris?! (laughs) One I like to play is the Erol Alkan‘s remix of Metronomy. I’ve always tried and to find a way to fit that into my sets, over the last two months. Cuz I like to hear it. For people who haven’t heard the song before it’s really mellow, and everyone kinda just stands around wondering what’s gonna happen, but when the song kicks in people really like it because it’s like a fun surprise.

Metronomy – The Bay (Erol Alkan’s Extended Rework) PREVIEW by Erol Alkan


TheMixster.com What song have you played before that you thought was going to get a better reaction but didn’t?

Them Jeans: Whoaaaa…! Ummm the new Surkin – “Ultra Light.” It did NOT go over as well as it did in my head.

Surkin – Ultra Light (Original Mix)

TheMixster.com: At Dim Mak you guys get first access to some of the best, and well everything else the underground music world has to offer. Who are a couple of emerging artists you’ve found within the last year that you think we should be paying more attention to?

Them Jeans: I like Sam Tiba. There’s this guy SFV Acid from here in LA that’s really unknown but he’s really good.

TheMixster.com: Looking forward into 2012, what genre or direction of sound do you think is going to be the “next big thing” in LA?

Them Jeans: Hmmmm next big thing in LA… Usually I can kind of predict but right now I don’t think I really can! I mean I thought people would get sick of dubstep by now but that’s not happening. Moombahton keeps getting bigger and bigger as well! I think people here are starting to get a little sick of the Dutch House, but I think techno is definitely making a little big of a comeback right now.


TheMixster.com: Outside of the Dim Mak compound what are some of your favorite local hangs?

Them Jeans: I like going to Proof Coffee shop. And I like going to Cacao Mexican food in Eagle Rock. And lastly I like going to….. Ooo! Taco Zone. (laughs) Taco Zone: Taco. And then the word “ZONE.”

TheMixster.com: It sounds really authentic.

Them Jeans. Oh, it’s VERY authentic. It’s a truck.

TheMixster.com: Last question – what’s the coolest thing about being “Them Jeans”?

Them Jeans: The coolest thing about being me?! Ummm whoa. I’d say probably my Twitter photos of food. Yea those pics on Twitter, are the coolest thing I’ve ever done. As you can see, I have a very important life.

***

Catch Dim Mak’s finest, and indisputably, TALLEST, next-level party-provocateur behind the decks  at The Loft @ UCSD tonight, along with fellow LA-natives Poolside! Show is 18+/21+ to booze and starts at 8:30pm.

November 22, 2011

San Diego has been getting absolutely spoiled with some of the most talented, forward-thinking bass music producers out there. Just this past month, we’ve had Sugarpill, Billy Blacklight (a.k.a Profresher), Wala, Bird of Prey, and Minnesota perform here. We also have the extremely gifted ill.Gates and R/D touching down for their show on Dec. 9th.  Bass overload? I think so. Buuuut, providing the wompalicious cherry on top, Stephan Jacobs and The Polish Ambassador will be throwing down some glitch-hop, electro-funk, future bass, and ( . Y . ) step tonight (11/22) at U-31 courtesy of our friends at SoundLogik.com!

During my interview process for my position at TheMixster.com, I was asked which artist—in my opinion— was leading the charge for bass music. I answered Stephan Jacobs. Not because he was as popular as Skrillex or as good looking as me, but because he manipulated his massive sounds to create one of the most impressive and distinct repertoires of smashingly smooth tunes I’ve ever heard. Although I’ve posted about Stephan before and continue to write about him now, I feel words cannot do this man justice. His powerful presence on the tables and energy fuming from his tunes must be experienced in person. Only then, will you truly appreciate the talent, dedication, and essence of Stephan Jacobs.

Stephan Jacobs & Love and Light- Sound A Da Bass (feat Naada)

Metric – Gold Guns Girls (Stephan Jacobs & NiT GriT Remix)

Tag teaming with Stephan Jacobs to complete this show’s bangin’ double headliner is another one of my favorite producers, The Polish Ambassador. This powerhouse producer—droppin’ bass not bombs from Oakland— masterfully fuses together just about every genre out there to create a distinct futuristic bass brand. Every one of his tunes brings some sort of different type of swag into the equation. You never know exactly what you are going to get and that excites me. He is described as having beats “that will have you dropping that bottom like it was 92….3092, that is.” This just about sums up his gangsta steeze from the future. This Polish Ambassador is reppin’ his people like none other.

Bassnectar- Cozza Frenzy (Ample Mammal Remix) (Ample Mammal a.k.a The Polish Ambassador)

Warren G featuring Nate Dogg – Regulate (The Polish Ambassador)

Don’t forget to get to the venue early to catch Geisha Twins (Disco/House), Sleeper (Moombahton/Hip Hop), and Mr. Y (beatboxing) kick off the night right.

This is a 21+ event.

Early-bird discounted tickets are only $10. Grab them here.

Door price: $20 | $15 if RSVP/attending through this event page. Entry is limited and dependent on ticket sales, venue capacity, and line. If you do not have presale tickets GET THERE EARLY!!

This is Soundlogik.com‘s first ever San Diego show so please go out and show your support for another killa San Diego-based EDM blog!

Ahoy sailors! Cruising into the San Diego bay this week/weekend (the 16th thru the 20th) is the infamous 34th annual America’s World Cup, one of a series of races featuring some of the world’s fastest and most high tech catamarans. Teams from around the globe will be competing for the oldest trophy in international sport. After a 15 year absence from Northern America, the World Cup is coming back with a bang; and doubling as a EDM-loaded concert series as well. Who would be featured at a prestigious boating event you may ask? None other than Diplo (!!!!) and Chromeo (!!!!) The Cataracs, K. FlayThe Donkeys, The Silent Comedy along with 16 other artists performing this weekend as well!

The music all starts once the racing dies down, and the only entrance fee is a suggested donation of $10, proceeds benefiting ocean conservation projects.

You know as well as I do, that you almost can’t get access to top-notch entertainment like this anywhere for free/$10!!! And in San Diego. While the musical aspect of this event may seem unrelated to the racing, it retains a nautical theme as the stage is scheduled to be set up between the Navy and Broadway Pier’s (the same stunning venue where Abstract Festival was held!).

And there will be a wine and beer garden. Not like you needed any more incentive to go.


I made a handy little condensed schedule so you know all the events that you shouldn’t miss throughout the day. Basically anything racing or music-related!
