Beat Swap Meet Recap-3/2017

It was business as usual at the Beat Swap Meet in beautiful Santa Ana California. This is not your average record show, in fact, only professional diggers, producers, and collectors need apply. Big Ups to Robbie Utmos for continuing to represent for the vinyl heads.

Crates Record Shop Recap

There was a never-ending flow of breaks, samples, and rare grooves on the turntables this past Friday at CRATES, Arizona's newest vinyl shop. Thanks to all the heads that hung out and we can't forget all of the diggers. Every Friday is open turntables and guest Dj's. Big shouts to owners Serg and Todd for holdin us down.  See y'all at the next one!

Recent Digs-Ryan Cayabyab

Ryan Cayabyab is a Phillipino jazz musician who is largely unknown here in the U.S. I first heard of him on the featured video where Dj Shortkut was digging in the Phillipines several years ago. I've been looking for it every since. Check out the video below and feel free to skip to the 5:27 mark to hear the killer break.

Mixtape Spotlight-Tony Touch "50 M.C.s"

 

 

This might be the greatest freestyles mixtape ever. Definitely in my top 10 mixtapes of all-time.
