LEVITATION ROOM
Los Angeles, CA
https://levitation-room.com/
In Los Angeles, where the weight and pressure of the city’s fast paced culture can make your legs feel like pillars, emerges psychedelic quartet, Levitation Room, to break the bonds of gravity with their cosmic wall of sound and thought provoking lyrics. “Just as their name suggests, Levitation Room’s music instills the listeners ears with a light feeling of floating. The dreamy guitar and Lo-Fi projections of psychedelic rock and garage are reminiscent of a deep 1960’s era, but still grounded in an alternative dreamgaze flavor that permeates modern indie music today.” - OC Weekly. Their decidedly hallucinogenic songs whisper and hum the same gentle refrain of their summer of love influences, conjuring up the cognitive imagery of sunny days at the park, spent with friends in a euphoric haze along with lyrical and sonic meditations on life, love, society and self-awareness.

Wonder-Full: A Tribute to the Music of Stevie Wonder
w/ DJ Spinna & Jahsonic
9:00 - $20 Early Bird / $25 Advance / $30 Day of Show - All Ages“WONDER-Full - A Tribute To The Music Wonder Of Stevie”
a concept created by KeiStar Productions honoring the legendary genius Stevie Wonder... which featured DJ Spinna & *Bobbito who back in 1999, were asked to spin at a party paying tribute to Stevie Wonder’s “Songs In The Key Of Life” album. At this event, we quickly realized we all had a mutual love for ‘Little Stevie's’ music and judging from the atmosphere on the dance floor that night, we knew we had a good thing going. * (Bobbito has moved on to pursue other ventures since 2008).
KeiStar Productions has successfully produced the WONDER-Full event since 1999 starting in its hometown of New York City. From then on KeiStar Productions and DJ Spinna have traveled and hosted the WONDER-Full event nationally and internationally from NYC to Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington DC, London, Berlin, Sweden, Canada, Japan, and Amsterdam.
DJ SPINNA
DJ Spinna is an anomaly. As a world-renowned DJ, producer, remixer, label head, promoter, curator, and influencer-- Spinna has crafted his artistic vision since the 1990s. His musical spectrum spans all flavors-- from Hip-Hop [as founding member of The Jigmastas], to Soul and R&B [authoring remixes for Stevie Wonder and Mary J. Blige] to Jazz and Funk [reviving productions from Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Betty Carter, Al Jarreau, Eddie Kendricks] to Electronic/Dance and Soulful House [transforming Shaun Escoffery’s “Days Like This” into a worldwide dance floor anthem]. His prolific studio work led to his 2002 cult-classic LP, Here To There, released on the iconic BBE label.
DJ Spinna is synonymous with ground-breaking, annual tribute events. Since 2001, “WONDER-Full” has celebrated the Guest of Honor, Stevie Wonder. “Soul Slam,” 20-years strong, is the authoritative Michael Jackson vs. Prince party. At Spike Lee’s “BK Loves MJ,” DJ Spinna commemorates Michael Jackson’s birthday in Brooklyn. In 2001, Motown tapped DJ Spinna for a brilliant remix of Michael Jackson’s “We’re Almost There.”
DJ Spinna’s collaborations with Stevie Wonder include remixes for “My Love Is On Fire" and “Sweetest Somebody.” In October 2012, Spinna performed an opening DJ set for Stevie Wonder’s United Nations Peace Concert.Spinna has blessed global dance floors across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. He enjoys sharing the stage with influencers such as Gilles Peterson, Questlove, Jazzanova, Dimitri from Paris, Joe Claussell, Osunlade, Q-Tip, Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope, Keb Darge, DJ Scratch, DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist.
Every week on Apple Music Hits, DJ Spinna’s “Here To There Radio” features two hours of themed selections that showcase his versatile expertise and massive vinyl collection. On Twitch, he has amassed 20,000 followers spinning live, marathon sets and interacting with his chatroom on two weekly shows, DJ Spinna Presents Journey and Galactic Quiet Storm.

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS
Oakland, CA
https://www.shannonandtheclams.com/
Independent music mainstays Shannon & The Clams are known for their feel-good, vintage-infused, garage-psych sound. Their sonics go from black and white to technicolor on their forthcoming new album, The Moon Is In the Wrong Place, produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Faced with the unimaginable sudden loss of singer-bassist Shannon Shaw’s fiancé, Joe Haener, in a car accident weeks leading up to their wedding, the project is a holistic exploration of grief and celebration of life coupled with the most expansive, exciting songs and arrangements of their celebrated catalog. Shaw’s bandmates, guitarist Cody Blanchard, keyboard player Will Sprott, and drummer Nate Mahan, rallied behind her to create their most ambitious, emotionally searing work to date. The title is drawn from a conversation in which Haener, an astrology novice, attempted to ask if Mercury was in retrograde. This ominous precognitive statement became the basis for the record. The Moon Is In the Wrong Place marks Shannon & The Clams’ 7th studio album together and showcases their 15+ years of tight-knit collaboration.

THE SIX PACK: ON THE OPEN ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA
BY BRAD BALUKJIAN
https://www.thebradpack.com/
Brad’s story starts back around the first WrestleMania, when he was first pulled into the world of professional wrestling as a child of the ’80s, a six-year-old fascinated with the stars of the day, including the Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter, Tito Santana and, of course, Hulk Hogan. Somewhere between sport and theater, considered by many to be silly and lowbrow, it was for him an outlet that reflected strength and fearlessness.The ensuing decades took Brad close to one of those early heroes (the Shiek) as they attempted to collaborate on a biography (no book came of it, but quite the story did) while this subcultural phenomenon rocketed in popularity and entered the mainstream. But he yearned to go deeper, get closer, to fully understand it’s underpinnings and why it resonates so deeply with him and so many others. This has been Brad’s calling as a writer: to combine the spirit of a fan with the rigor of an investigative journalist. It’s what led to the success of his first book, THE WAX PACK, about baseball cards, vulnerability, and growing up.
So he spent the last few years on a road trip adventure tracking down former WWF employees, wrestlers, childhood friends, and mutually curious archivists in search of the appeal of wrestling and the humanity of its practitioners; in pursuit of truth in a world predicated on illusion; in a quest to reconcile the his childhood heroes and memories. What Mary Roach calls “less an exposé than a love letter.”
