Glow-in-the-Dark DDC Tee

Oh yeah, and that’s me rocking it at the members only opening of Art in the Streets at the MOCA Geffen Contemporary in Downtown Los Angeles. Who’s that giving daps you ask? Futura 2000 – one of the baddest, raddest, dopest artists in the game. Respect due to Lenny McGurr!

DEFREZ Sound Sessions – Mojo

DEFREZ Sound Sessions – Mojo

It’s a HOT summer in Los Angeles and although Mojo is a producer from Sheffield – he def brings the heat! Mojo has been bouncing between genres for 4–5 years now, and has within the last year moved to Dubstep with a residency at one of Sheffields biggest dubstep nights “Grounded.“ Mix that with over 500,000 YouTube hits, alongside being played on some of the top radio shows around the world such as Radio 1, he is slowly splurging onto the scene with his enchanting riffs and gritty bass synths. (excerpts from Dubsilo.co.uk)

And the momentum has def continued into 2011 with Mojo signing to Output Records and being booked around the UK & US. With lots of incredible forthcoming releases, expect to see more from him soon. For now though – put on some headphones, blast the volume (hella loud!) and listen to this massive mix!

DEFREZ Sound Session – OpenOptics

DEFREZ Sound Sessions – OpenOptics

The May Sound Session cools out a bit with the stylings of OpenOptics and offers a proper anthem for some serious top-down, low-riding. Homegrown in San Diego, OpenOptics has fused his talents as a master turntablist with a seasoned guitarist/songwriter, Chavez, to form Inspired Flight. As they describe it – iF is “Rooted in hip-hop with branches of indie rock, electronica, downtempo, dub, and dance, Inspired Flight gives life to a hypnotizing and influential new musical experience that listeners are finding refreshing and authentic.” We def agree with that and bank on their continued path to “Create Fate.”
