Beats Within ·

2023/11/04

Omar Lozano aka Kid Monks has several talents. I call it "Dream Boy" aesthetic. Photography, skateboarding, DJing, and now the founder of Austin's only Latino vinyl record label, Trucha Soul. He also owns the only Sonido Soundsystem that he built with his own manitos with help and guidance from Sonidero Pato, a Sonidero legend. I've known him for years, but I still get nervous around him. I'm like a flailing muppet dancing in a fire to his relaxing demeanor. Oh.. OHHH... that's why they call him Kid

Beats Within ·

2023/07/21

Picture it, Austin's Apple campus 2007. Interior shot: Misa and a tall, pleasant dude named Eddie discuss their hip-hop dreams. Eddie says he wants to keep growing his music collection and Dj. After 15 years and multiple awards, Chorizo Funk has lived several lifetimes and evolved into a phenomenal party rocker. If we weren't amid a SAG and AFTRA strike, I would call anyone but Netflix to make a movie about Chorizo Funk. Netflix pays less than peanuts, maybe Hulu. Ai could never replicate him, and

Mez Data & Misa NWO

Beats Within ·

2023/06/12

Mez is a legend in his own right. Whenever I see a Mez Data mural or painting, I know that I am still home in a city that changes so quickly, it can be hard to recognize. Before there were 4Chan, Discord, and Russian troll farming facebook ads, there was 1am on the corner of 7th and Red River where Mez and Misa would smoke ciggys and HARMLESSLY pontificate. This episode has a bit of the old days but it's more of two friends catching up on the evolution of art, politics, and music over the last 15

Sinistarr - Aloyisius Bing Bang,

Beats Within ·

2022/12/05

The interview went well, so I won't follow through on my threat of spreading a vicious rumor - that he prefers American over Lafayette. Find out what that means on this episode. I'm baiting you. But it's a cute interview. As you know, I love Detroit so we talk a little smidge about Sinistarr's upbringing, GhettoTech, dancing and more.

In this episode we go from birth to the theory of infinity with pit stops in between to shout out ox tails, dj-ing through the lens of empathy, and motor boating. Grab a silky robe, a nice bevvie, and get into bed with us. Also, free feet for the viewers.
