Strictly Social is another LA staple that I’m glad is around. Neo-soul, funk, Hip Hop, world famous DJ’s, and beat makers have blessed the stage many times over. I have had the pleasure of seeing some of my friends perform. I’m glad to be celebrating Strictly Social’s 4thYear Anniversary! August 18th is going to be a party! Nikko Gray and Def Sound are going to be in the building, and the homie Brook D’Leau (J*Dvaey) will be having his debut performance. There’s also guest selector Mic Holden. And the ones you can always count on to play great tunes: resident DJ’s Sean O , Mona Lisa, and Destroyer. Thursday, August 18th is going to be a party! Come on out and celebrate with Strictly Social. BIG thanks to Nu-Soul Magazine for letting B+C be a part. Here’s to making it 4 more years of a great events and great music.
When my friend Eric Boss first introduced me to Dan Aka Trailer Limon and I heard his music, I knew he would be on the shine soon. Trailer has got some of the most diverse sounds packed into one project I have ever heard.
This latest EP, Special Dedication – The B-Sides consists of 5 tracks running the gamut of hip hop, soul, funk, chillwave and even uptempo danceable ish. Makes sense because this dude is a multi-instrumentalist who delves into his creations using a mixture of analog instruments, synths, samplers, electronic drums and anything else he can get a noise out of. From throwback disco and hip hop jams to afro-Slump and future funk, Trailer is a musical chameleon with his mind rooted in funk. He is so sick he gots the funky flu.

I can’t believe I have to find the words to explain what went down Wednesday night at Zanzibar. Incredible, wow, unreal, great, THE FUNK! For real, this was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long long time. I knew something good was going to go down when people started calling me a week before the event. I hit up my homie Dan to roll out to the event and take photos. Good thing I did because this was an event that shouldn’t have been missed.
Dan and I showed up to Zanzibar, and one of the first people we saw was Dam Funk. No matter how many times I’ve talked to Dam, it still feels surreal to me. I mean its Dam Funk! A note to all you music lover’s, show up early and you might meet your favorite artists. Anyways, we talked for a while as more folks started coming in. Zanzibar was getting packed pretty fast. Later on Jacqueline, from Mint Collective, needed a little help interviewing Electric Wire Hustle, so you know I was down for that. Walking back I ran into friend after friend rolling up for the show. It was going to be a great night.

Other other day I was checking out what was new on Mint Collective’s site and ran across The Roots – Dilla Joints. The Roots is one of my favorite band and J Dilla tracks, I can play all day. Put them together and you got The Roots – Dilla Joints. To top it off it’s FREE. Are you kidding me?! I would have bought this. There is also the track Antiquity with The Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Dillchestra. There is this Dilla track called Hall & Oats that ended up on Dynas’ album called The Apartment (also album title).  Download The Roots – Dilla Joints here. BIG thanks to Jacqueline at Mint Collective for posting that.
