Quick catch-ups from state side before I jump on a plane to Blighty (YAY!)
The month of October was gearing up for what ended up as two weekend benders for pretty much the whole city. EVERYONE from store owners to cab drivers made out in costume glory and I felt like I was dipping into that scene from E.T when babs go to collect candy- you know the one. Again, another dripping morsel of culture for the Brit. The penultimate weekend was upon us and one of the big outdoor parties, Monster Massive, played host to the legendary Z-Trip and I was excited to join the crew along with beat-boxing genius vocalist and UK homie, Killa Kela to pre-game in the trailer before the show as Z-Trip got ready for what was going to be a rocking set following Glitch Mob.
Kela was prepping to jump up and as for the rest of us, well, we had a merry old time and what a great crew we had to stir up some pre-show buzzzzz. Shout outs to Ami Drum, Jose, Matthew, Muckley, Bobbie and of course Zach and Kels.
The master of mash-ups sat for a moment in preparation to rage the stage as the countdown started. Being the avid new DJ in training I was observing the process and noting the equipment in comparison to my set-up. I definitely had my geek on, forget trick or treat I was totally in my element- kid in a candy store for sure.
We joined Glitch Mob, with special guest Travis Barker, for their set before Z-Trip jumped on to lay the foundations for carnage. His set was way more eclectic than i’d have anticipated. The boy had moves and I just wish you could all have been there to hear it. Killa Kela killed it as he unleashed his UK styles on the LA crowd rendering the whole set far too short and way too explosive to be over already- in my opinion and evidently that of the crowd. One saving grace mind you, the generous Mr Z-Trip has encouraged us to go and load up early for christmas with free downloads from his dedicated site www.djztrip.com/downloads.html so fill up your stockings and share the love. There is a ton of music there so GET IN!!! You’ll also find some pin-up-esque press shots to fill your lockers/ shrines. As for me, I’ll keep my fingers crossed in the hope that I can persuade Zach to give me a DJ lesson one of these days. I’m looking forward to Killa Kela’s return to LA in December, more on THAT in the new year. and finally, as the sun goes down I will get my party on to the next Brit adventure and report back in due course. Until next time my darlings
