Tonight I am back at Cana Rum Bar in DTLA for another weekly edition of LATIDO. Playing the music I love from around the world. Big thanks to Canyon Cody who has been holding things down for me these past few weeks! Ive got some new sounds to share. Come lounge and enjoy some of the finest rums on the east side of town. Just mention my name at the door for the hook up! Cheers!
This week stay on the home front and hang with Boyle Height’s very own Canyon Cody. This man has been servicing me with records and product from Nacional for a hot minute so it was nice to finally get his story on how we got involved with the label. We also talk about one of his current ongoing residencies at Subsuelo. One of the things I love about this chat is discovering both his parents are immigrants and hearing about these various elements from across the world have had a major impact in his home, in his dj sets and in his life. Hope you dig!
Big love to the folks over at the Natural History Museum for celebrating 100 years of science in LA! It was fun playing records alongside Raul Campos and Canyon Cody during the celebration. I missed the Gza’s set but caught to catch him in the elevator as he took pictures with fans but watching Devo knock out “Whip It” was the highlight of the evening as I watched from the top of the building. It was also great to meet some many of the KCRW listeners who came out and got down with us! Another highlight was talking music and science with NASA JPL’s Adam Steltzner in the green room! It was another amazing year at NHM’s First Fridays! Big thanks to Su, Laurel and the amazing staff at NHM!!
I’m excited to curate the Foyer celebrating the 100th Birthday Celebration at the Natural History Museum on June 9th! Fellow KCRW Dj Raul Campos and Canyon Cody (Subseulo) join me on the turntables. Tix available here!
