Inxec & Droog

Premiere: Inxec and Droog Celebrate 10 Years of Collabs with “Crenshaw” EP

This year marks a decade of collaboration between Nottingham’s Chris Sylvester aka Inxec and Droog, LA trio and Culprit’s bosses.

The fruitful creative relationship kicked off back in 2010, at the infamous afterhours den and studio space The Bunker, nestled at the foot of Hollywood Hills.

The very first session produced much of what still remains this collaboration’s signature release – the “Westbound” EP released on Crosstown Rebels. Stops on Get Physical, Last Night on Earth, Supernature, My Favorite Robot, No. 19 and others followed as the quartet convened and reconvened for intense exchange of ideas, usually in Los Angeles and always shoulder-to-shoulder.

Culprit & Innervisions Team Up For Two Shows in Los Angeles

Ame Scwarz

Everyone loves a good collaboration, and when it comes to labels working together it hardly gets better than what Los Angeles is about to witness.

The minds behind Culprit and Innnervisions have joined forces to give LA two distinctive nights of quality music, showcasing Henrik Schwarz first and Âme later with support from Culprit’s DJ collective Droog.

Set a fortnight apart, the two events will take place at Lot 613 in Downtown LA. On July 9th it will be the turn of Schwarz to bring his incredible Live set-up to the warehouse-like venue for only the second time in the past 6 years.

Then, on July 22nd, attendees will witness Kristian Beyer taking over the decks to represent the mighty Âme duo, who, along with Dixon are the founding fathers of Germany’s Innervisions imprint. His Live performance last July was one of the most memorable and energetic nights of the year, making this one of the most anticipated returns of the summer.

Culprit’s double-header for Prototype comes with unmistakeable influence on the night’s music program. As expected, the label’s own Droog trio will be providing perfect support to kick-start each night.

Tickets are available on Resident Advisor: Part 1Part 2

In the Nest with Justin Jay

In the nest Justin Jay

Justin Jay is quickly becoming a household name as the staple for SoCal’s Deep/Jack/Funky House frontier leading the new generation in to a throwback era. The first time we met Justin in the summer of 2012 sparked immediate attention to us that this kid is going to be the real deal as his Oct. 2012 guest mix for our Global Vibe Radio showcase proved just why he was the talent to look out for. 2 years later and a couple EP and phat releases under his belt, the Dirtybird/Culprit Artist gets the spotlight on Nest HQ. Check below for the mini-episode as he discusses the balance of attending classes while being on tour.
