We previewed the Transmission LA: AV CLUB last week, and sent new Art Correspondent Freddi C with mic and camera in tow to check out the exhibit.

One such night that’s been holding it down […]

London’s disco mafia comes to lala land. Ready for some Shits & Giggles?
We’ve been lucky in LA to have had plenty of proper disco shows as of late, but we’re hella excited for London’s premier disco mavens, the Horse Meat crew. Since the launch in 2003 by DJs James Hillard and Jim Stanton, HMD’s famed London parties garnered an undisputed reputation for quality events with a disco-for-diggers […]
