Ocean Beach Review: Samples, Eliot Lipp Whomp The Central SAPC

Santa Monica, CA – May 5, 2012 - Cashing out the West Coast leg of their Spring Tour directly in line with Cinco De Mayo, Samples (aka Ben Samples) and Eliot Lipp brought the heat, sombreros, and glitchy bass beats to the Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club with their special guests Pool Party and Sublmnl Sound System.

Presented by The Madero Group, Grassroots California and SUPERGOODMUSIC --- this spicy late night party went off with innovative beats, striking melodies, and elaborate rhythmic patterns from these heavy-hitting producers/DJs.

Samples, widely known for producing in the live remix project Fresh2Death, hails from Denver, CO.  He brought that matchless rocky mountain swag to The Central’s stage with him when he dropped an undeniable set of soulful dub, funky house, crunk and creative bass-heavy remixes that had the club’s dance floor celebrating in proper fashion.

It was Sample’s beats that had the crowd dipping low and getting primed for one of electronic music’s most vital artists.  I caught up with him and he said, “I don’t write set lists”.  What were a few of his highlights?  Rage Against The Machine “Killing in the Name Of”, (Sample Remix); Beastie Boys “Sabotage” (Alex Metric Remix); and Samples “Drop Bombs”.

Known to EDM connoisseurs and weekend warriors alike, Eliot Lipp , who took the stage alongside “the kid” Samples to start it up and kept the energy at 180 proof.  Not only did Lipp preview new-fangled sounds throughout his set, he hit his points of observable funk, hip-hop, and folk…all while demonstrating his intertwined passions for jazz-fusion, techno, and analogue gear.

Sounds were profound and clear, the light was right, and the electronic music scene was in full effect for those who were in attendance to what SUPERGOODMUSIC, The Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club, and Los Angeles had to serve up…no training wheels necessary.

Be sure to catch Samples and Eliot Lipp, who signed with Pretty Lights Music four days later, on tour this summer.  They remain on a mission of being devoted to convey to you their freshest beats, turning inhabitants into fans from coast to coast.

SUPERGOODMUSIC aims to advance awareness of all music in and around Los Angeles and currently provides daily information about live concerts from over 50 venues through the SUPERGOODMUSIC Concert Blast.

Indie Rock-Rap Mash Up Monday

If you're into indie-rock, you might have heard of Los Angelina Chelsea Wolfe - but not Kosha Dillz (@koshadillz).  If you're into hip-hop (or Budweiser commercials), you've probably at least heard of Kosha Dillz - but possibly not Chelsea Wolfe.

This video for "Moses Wasteland" allows you to get familiar with both artists as it features Mr. Dillz rapping over mashed up Chelsea Wolfe tracks Moses and Wasteland in a dark setting.  Paying some respects to fallen artist icons, while reflecting on some of his own life choices, Kosha spits some seriously dope verbiage, one-liners, honest reflections and even references Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure on the Nate G produced indie-rap mash up.  A few quotable nuggets and knowledge include:

"You can tell who a man is when you shake hands"

"You can snort all the coke, I will drink all the Sprite"

"Midnight in Chelsea with a couple of wolves"

"I'll write a million dollar verse for Justin Bieber while I take a shit"

Both artists are current L.A. residents - although the video was shot in the east coast region of New York City and New Jersey.  "Moses Wasteland" is the first single and video off of Kosha Dillz's JETLAG EP project which features him rapping over indie rock mash-ups from Black Keys, The Neighbourhood, Wavves and more.  Enjoy and cop the full EP for free via DJBooth!

Chelsea Wolfe (@cchelseawolfe) plays Check Yo Ponytail (@checkyoponytail) at Echoplex tomorrow - May 15, 2012.  Get your tickets here.
