KXSC Fest Presents: DJ Rashad + DJ Spinn

After years of touring the globe, DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn will bring their singular style of dance music to the USC campus. I’m pretty sure this is the first time footwork has ever been featured here at the university, unless Springfest booked RP Boo to open for Blink-182 in the late 90’s or something. Expect to hear favorites from Double Cup as well as some killer reworks of popular hip-hop tracks, like the duo’s version of G.O.O.D. Music’s “Mercy”. Be warned that footworking in the Annenberg Bowl may be more difficult than footworking on level ground, so use caution when stepping into the circle. See you on March 29th.

KXSC Fest Presents: Sun Araw

Sun Araw is the moniker of an ongoing project of Austin, Texas native Cameron Stallones. He now resides in Long Beach, where he records his swampy cocktails of psychedelic reggae and afrobeat out of a studio he built in his home. Stallones’ live show incorporates looping and onstage sound manipulation, lending his subtly tight compositions a loose and spontaneous feel. But all of these words that attempt to contextualize the Sun Araw sound aren’t really doing the music any justice; as Stallones’ website also says: “Belomancie is not designed to accompany any existing environments.”

KXSC Fest Presents: Kirin J Callinan

After the stationites flew home from CMJ 2013, I wrote a cup of coffee review about this here Kirin J Callinan based off the time we spent with him at his Brooklyn showcase. I've learned infinitely more about him since then that I think would benefit the public, future KXSC Fest 2014 attendees, and establish general good spirits for the greater good.
