AraabMUZIK's The Remixes Vol. 1 Streaming Now on Pitchfork

Its Tuesday, but it already feels like the week is halfway over given that most of America is checking out of work Wednesday for an extended weekend.  Before you head out for the fireworks, BBQs and lounging by a pool or beach to cure the ails of these heat waves - check out the stream of AraabMUZIK's The Remixes Vol. 1 on Pitchfork.  

As you might expect - the MPC master freaks and reworks popular tracks and dance floor anthems, infusing them with his quintessential hip-hop swagger.  AraabMUZIK's release drops on Ultra Music on July 9th - but stream this at your celebration(s) of freedom if you want to see a little extra free expression on your patio dance floor.

It's hump day, so hump, but see some music first, you know, to get in the mood...

Los Angeles Tonight (March 20, 2013)

Hump day yo! Insert sexual innuendo there and proceed to the recommended concerts that will no doubt help you find that hump at the end of the day. I mean, get over that hump.

Anyhow, an exceptional week of music offerings continues in Los Angeles with Mos Def at The Belasco Theater. It's not so often that this place has a concert going on, and this happens to be an awesome one, so if you've got tix or still can get, then lucky you. Also lucky you if you're going to check out Imagine Dragons at The Wiltern for their Night Visions Tour or Wavves + FIDLAR, & Cheatahs at The Echo. I know for sure the latter is sold out, so hit the Craigslist if you're trying to get there last minute. It should be pretty fuzzy up in there. I expect a lot of angst riddled youngins who are angry with their parents to attend.




However, if you have no tickets to any of the bigger marquees this evening and your pockets are running a bit thin, consider the packed line up at tonight's Low End Theory at The Airliner featuring Baths, DAUWD, Dark Time Sunshine, TA-KU + residents Daddy Kev, Nobody, The Gaslamp Killer, D-Styles, & Nocando, that place will probably be pretty turnt tonight. Question is, will you?

Los Angeles Tonight (March 12, 2013)

Tonight in L.A. (January 18, 2013)

No shortage of musical options on this fresh Friday...but there is a shortage of music videos because SUPERGOOD is flying the friendly skies and videos don't load that quickly when your 30,000 feet in the air.

Tonight in L.A. (Thursday December 20, 2012)

Your final night before the last day of the work at least gives you a few options for fresh watercooler conversation since you’ve probably already talked about vacation three times this week.

The beatacue is present further east – over at Echoplex - Shlohmo, RL Grime and Groundislava put things down, and the Versus party at The Central SAPC does the same for the westside set.
