Chicago Native Open Mike Eagle released a William Child directed claymation video this week for his single “Microfiche”. The track is taken from his latest EP, “What Happens When I Try To Relax”, and the video finds Eagle joining forces with Colin Kaepernick, fighting a vampire and embarking on a wild police chase that ends in a standoff.

Open Mike Eagle recently released a great video for his new single “No Selling”. The track is taken from his new LP Brick Body Kids Still Daydream.

Linafornia is the pseudonym of a stalwart beat maker from Leimert Park who's been at it since 2014, earning her stripes from the revered Beat Cinema and open mic workshop Project Blowed. Raised in a city of musical innovators like Nocando and Open Mike Eagle, the bar is set high for any musician making a name out of the culturally rich LA neighborhood.

But lo-fi elbow grease and deep cuts of soul & funk are the marks of LP talent, and Linafornia's got all the makings of a producer, hitting the ground running with shows at the Low End Theory and PasswordLA. In her growing repertoire you'll find cloudy, washed-out abstractions alongside jazz flows, inspired by Ras G, Dibiase, and Samiyam. Her recent collab with Compton's geekster rapper DeviWonder is just a sampling of the magic this woman is capable of, and we can't wait to hear more! Linafornia's first major project, code-named YUNG, is currently underway and will be out in the future by Dome of Doom (Alpha Pup Records).

Listen to her newest track, "Wetttt" on Soundcloud below, and see her live on August 10th at Silverlake's Hyperion Tavern. - Ryan Mo

Julián Félix is the man behind Culture Remixed, covering the Los Angeles Beat scene, emerging Latina/o electronic artists, and independent labels around the globe. As a writer, community college professor, and moonlighting DJ/visual artist, Félix began covering Lincoln Height’s experimental hip hop and electronic music purveyor Low End Theory, and started Culture Remixed as a way to improve his DJing. He has since branched out to write and feature producers across the country and in LA’s backyard, including Open Mike Eagle, Bür Gür, and Kenny Segal. Along with his bread-and-butter, Félix also spins jazz, soul, funk, R&B, Afro beat, and more from Boyle Heights’ Radio Sombra.
