Events | Get Stoked: Ookay x Tropkillaz @ Regency San Francisco, TONIGHT
Posted by Nick on July 11, 2014
Okay, so it’s about that time of the year where work is pretty much at full-tilt and the novelty of it being summer has just about completely worn off. It’s about that time of the year where you have things planned for later, but right now, you’re just kind of sitting on your ass, waiting for an opportunity to let loose and really get down into that summer groove. Well, if you’re from the Bay Area, that opportunity has finally arrived: class-A trap troll Ookay and Brazilian heavy hitters Tropkillaz are hitting up Regency Ballroom this evening.
This show is going to be absolutely nuts. Ookay, a seasoned performer, fresh off the stage at EDC Vegas, will no doubt throw down one of the craziest live sets you’ll see this year. He’s also got a pretty sweet sense of humor that he somehow manages to factor into his sets. My personal favorite was when he trolled an entire venue with “Martin Garrix Had A Farm” – see the video evidence below.
As for Tropkillaz, everyone knows things are just a little more edgy in South America. You can count on something massively twerk-tastic from this Sao Paolo-based duo. It’s a bit NSFW, but if you want to see an example of a Tropkillaz show, go and check it out HERE.
So, before it’s too late (because it will get to that point), go and grab your tickets HERE. It’s time to get wild and say you actually did something this summer.
House | WhiteNoize & Nima G – Haters Get Mad

A wise Fat Jewish man once said, “I keep an umbrella with me at all times to shield me from the tears of my haters.” Keeping a hater umbrella handy is something San Francisco based Dj/production duo, WhiteNoize, should probably consider doing because these fellas go to work and where there is someone working hard , there is usually a hater lurking, ready to cry their big salty tears all over the place. This Tech-House tune with deep dance-floor tenancies goes out to the haters for staying on their job. Haters would be better off popping a molly and giving someone a hug, then they are wasting their bodie’s hydration on hate-tears but then who would fuel the tanks of the achievers in the world? Either way, haters are going to have to figure out a way to stay hydrated cause bottled water isn’t getting any cheaper and you know they stay broke.

That is what DOSVEC delivers in Episode #11 of the only Mashup Radio Show in America “A.D.D.” The show starts off with the silky “Wicked Lights” and works its way to a sick mid section of some serious Bass, then back into some PHAT CHUNKY HOUSE.

Abstract Hip-Hop | Young Jedi – A1
Posted by yabishcic on January 10, 2014
Sounding like it came from from some sort of retrolux time warp machine, Young Jedi, who I covered on a previous post (his production name is Ely Sounds), is releasing his first compilation of beats called ‘A1’. For those of you unfamiliar with Young Jedi, he’s been spending his time between Chicago and San Francisco over the last year and a half, articulating and perfecting his unique style. From the underground, urban-hippy music scene in SF to the flashy, embellished music style of the windy city, you can tell how the two worlds collided to create his music. This is any rappers delight, 5 perfected beats to flow over. Enjoy!
Totally dig it? Get It Here.
Hip-Hop | YG – I’m Good (Andrew Luce Remix)
Posted by Nick on December 24, 2013
Yet another massive track from the boy wonder Andrew Luce: this time, the San Francisco native chose to remix YG’s “I’m Good,” showing off his ability to skillfully blend popular electronic styles with a clear Bay Area hip-hop influence. If you need a track to throw down with quality sampling and a consistent, clean, dynamic, & just straight up loud bass line, you’ve found your match.
For those of you heading out to Snowglobe in S. Lake Tahoe next week, make sure to catch his set at the Main Stage on Tuesday from 4:30-5:30. After winning the event’s Opening DJ Contest, it’s definitely a performance you won’t want to miss – again, big things coming from this guy. Don’t forget to hit up a free download!

Events, Preview | Flosstradamus & Alex Young @ The Warfield, 12/20/13 (UPDATE: SOLD OUT)
Posted by Nick on December 14, 2013
If you’re out in the bay for the holiday season, then you need to find yourself a ticket to Flosstradamus’ performance at the Warfield on 12/20. Of course, these guys are some of the OG trap artists who really helped the electronic sub-genre take flight, and if you don’t live under a rock, they probably don’t need much of an introduction; however, one of their opening acts for the evening who I do think deserves a little more love (though he has been getting some serious props recently from major players across the industry) is Alex Young. If you haven’t already heard of him, here’s why you should get excited about his set next Friday:
Alex is definitely a unique artist in the game right now. At just 16, this kid’s already played for thousands of people at multi-day festival events, and he’s not even out of high school yet. With a youthful perspective backing him up, his sound embodies a versatile dynamic that has the power to make you get on your feet and go crazy, or just mug it in your car while you throw your seat back, one hand on the wheel; even though he won’t be – he just started driving. There’s clearly a lot of energy coming for this guy, and if you can, you’re going to want to try and catch some of it in San Francisco. If you haven’t already, check out his latest track “SWTRWTHR” that premiered a couple weeks ago with a free download. Don’t forget to snag a ticket from stubhub or elsewhere – it’s sold out! Come get based with us.
PS – stay on the lookout for an exclusive FNT interview with Alex, coming soon!
