    I&I SOUNDSYSTEM
    {Aurelito & Black Shakespeare Blastin Big Tunes in the Ice Cream Truck}




    AURELITO & SHAKESPEARE, creators + operators of the Los Angeles based sound system have been contributing to the City Of Angels' music culture and art scene ever since they joined forces as the dynamic duo, internationally known as I&I SOUND SYSTEM.


    Aurelito, originally from the Philippine Islands and Black Shakespeare a Jamaica born native brought I&I SOUND to life in the late 90's, bringing more life and unity to the people of LA. Their true mission was to spread LOVE by bringing music directly to the people. Much of the duo's thirst for unique and creative outlets plus the universal laws guided I&I to create Aurelito's idea and concept of building an original mobile sound system. The two restored and hand painted a 1969 classic ice cream truck and customized it with original artwork, turntables, mixer, amps and speakers - "knowing that music is an occupation that should literally move you".

    Their classic vehicle was crowned DESTINY. Since the birth of Destiny, the duo have been spreading positive vibrations far and wide - driving throughout Los Angeles County to the many different barrios, communities, towns, valleys and cities in The City of Angels. The two have been traveling across the West Coast serving sweet musical treats from their patented mobile sound station - setting up and broadcasting at the many different outdoor festivals, art openings, concerts, film screenings, record release and after parties, grade schools, highschools, colleges, community based events, film shoots, private parties, barbecues, parking
    lots, street corners, and public parks.

    Upstairs Dance Floor

    MR. CHOC
    {WORLD FAMOUS BEAT JUNKIES}



    Mr. Choc is a member of the World Famous Beat Junkies, one of the most respected DJs crew in the world. His mixes are syndicated in 26 markets. He’s steadily booked at clubs across the country. He’s a professor at the Scratch Academy in Los Angeles. He released one of the most acclaimed DJ albums of all time. Whether it’s on-air, in the club, as a teacher or releasing an album, Mr Choc is the one DJ who excels in all fields. Indeed, the veteran Los Angeles-based Choc is one of rap’s most respected DJs. His impeccable resume -- which includes an 11-year stint on Los Angeles’ KPWR (Power 106) -- has allowed Choc to stand as one of hip hop’s staunchest supporters and promoters.  myspace.com/mrchocfan4


    DJ ASPARAGUS
    {RAW FUSION/STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN}



    DJ Asparagus, together with Mad Mats, are resident DJs at the infamous Raw Fusion Club in Stockholm. With over 50 records released, Raw Fusion Recordings continues to rule the Swedish underground club music scene. Artists such as Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire (SWE) Spiritual South (UK), Simbad (UK/FR), Future Beat Investigators (FI) and Povo (DK), keep granting the label life as Raw Fusion releases some of the greatest tunes to come out the studios of these artists.

    The musical roots of Raw Fusion Recordings rest on a steady foundation based on soulful music of the underground club scene. Genres like soulful house, cutting edge hip-hop, electronic funk, raw street-soul, dance floor jazz, rough latin and deep Detroit techno boogie are represented. Since day one the catalogue has consisted of various artists who all represent a raw, innovative, urban, street feel, which signifies the music that we love, live and breathe.  myspace.com/djasparagus


    Downstairs Lounge

    THE ELECTONES
    {LIVE JAZZ FUNK}



    Silverlake's favorite nu-jazz trio, The Electones are one of LA's best kept secrets, with a large local following and a reputation for shows that make for fabulous nights. Now that the Japanese, those perpetual discoverers, nurturers, and harbingers of the original have discovered them, it may be time to give them up to the rest of the country and the world. Stand advised: when you hear them, you won't forget them. Because while the Electones heady original compositions give plenty to think about, it's what happens from the neck down that really sets them apart. To be blunt, if you can't dance to the Electones... you can't dance.  myspace.com/theelectones

    Ladies in FREE b4 11pm!
    $2 Vodka Cranberry til 11pm


    In the Downtempo Lounge:



    Zaki Ibrahim
    {Canadian Soul}

    Lumping her in with the rest of the neo-soul and conscious R&B movement does Zaki Ibrahim a disservice.
    The Toronto-based singer has a sound that incorpor­ates many more influences and ideas than the legions of Badu wannabes.

    Ibrahim pulls rhythms from her African roots as well as deep house and broken beat, along with the R&B grooves she’ll need to break through stateside.

    This is genuinely new soul music... - Now Magazine

    ...

    "a well-rounded, unclassifiable, genre-defying mix of innovative music" - OkayPlayer.Com



    Don't miss her only Los Angeles Performance!
