We were excited for our compatriots over at Deus ex Machina when they opened up their Bali Motorcycle and Surf Shop, and were looking forward to their next project. They just dropped a new video called House of Simple Pleasures, and the title really just nails what it’s about: the Deus philosophy of living, which […]

There’s still a couple weekends left in official summer, and the way the heat’s hitting most of the country (in every city besides Los Angeles, it unfairly seems) the pool weather could run into October.

Tonight Los Angeles is being invaded by Chicago…house music, that is. Our old friend Noriega — who Madman’s been crashing clubs with since he was a wee speck in JNCO’s and Freshjive tees — and her ART2 crew have put together L.A. Shakedown at Vanguard in Hollywood. The night features 3 legitimate main room DJs, […]
