As most of you know, we have been big fans and backers of FIERO since day one. In fact, I remember that day pretty vividly and I'm sure DJ Falcon does as well. Anyways...staying on topic, these guys have been good friends of ours for awhile, and when we heard about all the projects they had lined up for 2011 we felt they were the perfect group to feature for our site comeback this month. As you can see from the video, it's really hard not to have a good time [...]

As you all know, Feel Good Friday's were invented by our own PrettyboyPaul and he always gives us all very choice music. Today I got an email from some friends over at DFA letting us know about a very special Friendly Fires / Holy Ghost collab and I couldn't think of any other category to put it in. So here's my addition to the Feel Good Friday legacy... It started off as a drunken conversation at Corsica's Calvi Rocks festival in July 2009. Friendly Fires had just played live, Holy Ghost had [...]
6 months ago when we threw our very first 80s vs. 90s party and back then, we had no idea how crazy that night was going to be. We almost hit capacity at Detroit bar and this time we are doing it all over again. Since so many of you asked us to bring FATLIP back we are doing this one just for you!! And just because we know how cheap you are, this time it's free before 10pm and after that you pay ONLY $5 (WITH RSVP or Themed outfit).. yeah I can't believe it either. [...]

When I sent out the email blast asking all the fakeRICH FAM for mixtapes I had no idea how lucky I was gonna get and the latest mixtape from BBGUNS is a proof that everyone gets lucky once in a while. Why am I so lucky? FIRST OF ALL BBGuns isn't a "mixtape" DJ and to get him motivated enough to do anything other than golf and look at internet porn all day is almost impossible.. and TWO because this mixtape is soo very good! If [...]

Theres not much to say about metric that hasnt been said and to be honest Im not sure how to approach this post but one thing I do know is that they have been on blast on my iTunes for the past week. So why not add them to the Music Monday roster? The uniquely powerful vocals of Emily Haines have been pushing Metric to the top of the charts since 1999 and there has been no turning back since. As soon as I heard the [...]

We are currently looking for contributors for fakeRICH.com. Right now all of the writing and photos have been handled in-house or by guests and friends of fakeRICH. This has allowed us to somewhat keep our "voice" and we are looking for people who want to help us grow while keeping our "voice" and style. We are based in OC/LA, but we aren't trying to stay OC/LA-centric. We would like to expand and cover the experience of other cities and countries, if possible. As a contributor [...]
Anything that Colossal Knxn does Im obviously going to be bias towards and I'm probably going to tell you that its the most amazing thing to hit the "scene" since the two step. But their newest mixtape is actually very good! It doesn't have any fancy mixing, scratching, or beat juggling but it does have the perfect blend of funk, house, electro, soul, good music. I hate classifying everythign into genres so Ill just say that The BONER JAMS mixtape is the perfect mixtape to play next time you have that special "hipster" lady [...]

Since it's Friday and I have just about covered all of the "power players" in DubStep, I feel it's necessary to end our Dubstep coverage on the granddaddy of them all SKREAM! (And 12th planet wasn't available for an interview) Skream (aka Oliver Jones) has been making music since he was 15. It all started when his brother Hijak exposed him to the scene. Eventually Skream would land himself a job at Big Apple Records in Croydon UK ( More on [...]

"The Bitches all love me cuz I'm fuckin CASPAAAAAA!!" which is by far my favorite Caspa sample used from the movie" kids". Today's write up is on London's very own CASPA, representing Dub police, Fabric, and Sub Soldiers. Caspa (Gary McCann) grew up in West London, and was brought up on a diet of Jungle & Hip Hop. At the time he wasn't old enough to go to the Jungle raves so had to be content with his tape packs of Brockie and Det. [...]
Nate Jackson from OC Weekly just finished his write up in on our very own Colossal KNXN!! I must say, this article has made me so proud! Huntington Beach DJ duo Colossal KNXN bring larger-than-life beats to local dance floors The nocturnal lifestyle of a club DJ rarely involves the glare of afternoon sunlight. Which explains the sunglasses on DJs Tony Long ("Tea Long") and Brandon Rillera ("BB Guns") during a midday interview on the patio of the Gypsy Den in [...]
