featuring our special guest from the City of Angels
*Jeremy Sole
(KCRW / theLIFT / AfroFunke)
Jeremy Sole is on a mission to show how
music is a singular universal language, and that each culture’s rhythms
and melodies are no more than slang--different accents of the same
mother tongue. His DJ sets, remixes and original compositions juxtapose
world sounds and experimental beats into a sonic ritual - a celebration
of life out loud.

The story of Kon begins in the record bins of Boston. Like the vinyl he collects, Kon is a rare breed. He consistently shakes up dance floors all the world over, and his popularity is so high that fans actually offer up their own dusty singles and LPs as a gift to this beloved collector. His working command of music history makes him a breathing tome of wax knowledge; to that effect, Shady Records, Dr. Dre, Pete Rock, Diamond D, and Capitol Records (to name but a few) have called upon his expertise. Kon has gained legendary status oversees while achieving domestic recognition from some of the most beloved beat-diggers, DJs, and producers in the game.
"One of the most extraordinary beat diggers in the game." Lord Finesse
"His compilations and mixtapes are underground DJ classics." A-Trak
