Last week our man Double O’Dub was out in LA and had an opportunity to meet up with a couple of the peeps from SessionsLA at their mixtape release party during a Freestyle Fridays set.
A couple of weeks prior, Dub had placed second in a beat-flip contest presented by SessionsLA.
Props to Ali and DJ Phatrick for making the man from the East Coast feel welcome.
Check out the Special Friends EP from Musical Mistakes.
Dig the ambient crossing over to beats, and back.
Last week Double O’Dub entered a beat flip contest on the Blog Sessions LA.
The goal was to remix an Herb Geller track, Space a la Mode, into an updated beat.
Earlier this week, our man Dub placed 2nd.
Check his beat out here, and check out the other entries over at Sessions LA.

Eaked this one onto bandcamp during leap day, may as well mention that 🙂
Let me know what you think.
Double O’Dub created this track a few months back for a friend’s video project.
He has since started to build off of this style and plans to come out with an EP in the near future, but until then, Enjoy.

I saw this one a few weeks back and am only now getting to blog about it.
Check out this great presentation of What Sound Is, by industry professionals.
“Sound” from SoundCloud on Vimeo.
How’d this one slip by my radar?
Digging this Beastie Boys video ft. Santi Gold.

My favorite belly dancing electronic music act rolled through The Bean this past long weekend. Beats Antique killed it at the Paradise on Saturday night, opening for them was Filastine and the duo Thornato & Tumi of the Cumba Mela Collective.
All in all, a great night of entertainment, plus it being my first time to the renovated Paradise, I found myself enjoying the new set up and addition of Rolling Rock Tall Boys to the beer list.
The Beats that are Antique, who were touring off their new album, Elektrafone, really brung it with their untouchable performance.
The open-openers, had a great afro house grove, and got asses shakin ‘n bodies warmed up, but the real surprise of the the evening was Filastine, the one-man-electronic-band from Barcelona. Dude literally plays out of and all over a shopping cart to get ridiculous hits balanced by MIDI synths, some smooth and some staccato.
Check out his video for Singularities; it’s like Koyaanisqatsi meets RJD2.
Oddly enough, my wife and I ate dinner right next to Filastine before the show, granted we were separated by a pane of glass, and an army of cockroaches deterring us from getting any closer (gotta love Alston), besides, we had no idea who he was or what type of performance he was about to drop, anyway I think he likes Pad Thai.
Also, not to leave these fellas out, I’m digging this track from Thornato sampling Ladysmith Black Mambazzo. Funny story, but Reg and Dub were working on a Laysmith Beat on Friday night… coincidence, … entirely 🙂
