Part of the Featuring the Lightz and Soundz of Exhibition @ g727
These discussions revolve around the concept of exploring and archiving DJ culture from ELA. The panels are designed to capture testimonies from leaders of the DJ movement from the present, past and future so their history can be included in future discussions of the west coast and global dance scene and Chicano cultural production.
Here are the details.
Panel 4 Wednesday, August 6th
Mix Masters, Residents and Friends
Curated by Steve Beltran
After attending one of our panels Steve Beltran, a major figure from the East Los Angeles DJ scene, proposed this panel of some of his closest DJ confidants and colleagues. The DJs on this panel have been spinning since the early 1980's from some of the most influential DJ booths in the area. They have had their hands in music production, promotion, sales and publication throughout their careers. They have seen the scene go through it various changes and worked within it always. The gathering of these DJs would not have been possible if not for the work of Steve Beltran, this will truly be an intimate conversation among DJs who have known each other throughout the years.
Moderated by: Steve Beltran
