Sound Nightclub is fresh and doing right by LA; the vibes last Friday in Hollywood for Lee Burridge were on point. Being my first time there, I was very impressed with how everything about this club was setup. I heard a lot of things about it but it wasn't until I witnessed their production for the Yuma tent at Coachella this year that I knew I had to stop by. Not only was it easy to get around using the side hallway but the effects were perfect-the dim lighting fit the mood, go-go girls were coated in [...]
Last Saturday Verboten hosted a party for Damian Lazarus ' Tenth anniversary of his label, Crosstown Rebels . This was an amazingly unique party to say the least.

The two did a great job warming up peoples legs as they arrived and started filling the place up. When Infinity Ink came on the party was officially in full swing. Playing all absolute bangers including their [...]

LA-based underground DJ crew Droog - Andrei Osyka, Brett Griffin and Justin Sloe - are known for their quality rooftop parties at The Standard Hotel and uncompromising releases on their like-named label. Droog was tapped to play Coachella on Saturday, and Justin Sloe was kind enough to give Big Shot readers the exclusive lowdown on how they fared at the gig. Bruised and battered from an early morning flight home from Miami - well, it was actually from God's Waiting Room ( a.k.a. Fort Lauderdale), I hazardously sped to my apartment [...]

Photos by Chris Nelson Droog is made up of three guys who live in LA. And they're not what you think. You've seen a deluge of the Crosstown roster artists rumble through the City of Angels, from bossman Damian Lazarus to shooting stars Subb-an and Richy Ahmed . Simply put, the sound has taken over. Completely and without question. So one might expect that the trio who shepherded that sound into Los Angeles and curated its growth into the de facto house sound of the [...]
This Saturday sees LA's Culprit Records head honchos Droog go up British partner in crime Inxec in a special back to back set at one of our favourite London warehouse parties, Potty Mouth. Completing the bill is Danish deep house master Noir and rising Polish stars Catz N Dogz and We Are Not A Rockband's very own Hazmat; giving what must surely be the most hotly anticipated international lineup across the capital this weekend. And if just the mere thought of it all wasn't enough to whet your appetite, Droog have only gone [...]
O hai epic Potty Mouth line-up. What's that you say? Inxec has coaxed his LA cohorts Droog over to London town to play with him? And Polish duo Catz N Dogz are in town playing a rare live set? And somehow Danish DJ and producer Noir has been thrown into the mix too?? It's no surprise that clubbers have been going mental for Droog Vs Inxec 's tech-house track Westbound. It's got a dark tone to it with a wonderful build-up that will excite both experienced ravers and those new to the scene. But it's [...]

Early next month sees the digital release of Culprit Records first ever compilation, Above The City. Inspired by their legendary Sunday rooftop sessions at LA's Standard Hotel , it's the perfect release to compliment the current (and somewhat unexpected) heatwave here in the UK. Listen to it, enjoy the sunshine and picture yourself swaying to the beats on a rooftop with LA's beautiful house-scenesters. As opposed to peeling off your raincoat and bemoaning the end of summer, which, let's be frank, we all assumed we'd be doing from here on out. Opening with the sound of birds, [...]
