Props to a good friend of mine (@bryanrevilla) for hooking me up with another resident talent with Angelo Mendez. An LA-based DJ who is part of the more influential artists of the West Coast underground music scene for almost a decade now. His work spread like wildfire, earning him a wide range of gigs all over that gave him the recognition he truly deserves. More on Angelo after the skip.
"As a member of the legendary Bay area crew Massive Selector he was able to collaborate with artist and
events such as; album release tour for King Britt (K7 Records),
Wonder-Full: A Tribute to the Wonder of Stevie with DJ Spinna &
Bobbito, a concert show featuring BBC Worldwide Live with Gilles
Peterson, Dwele, and The Rebirth, Soled Out: A Commemoration to Sneaker

Word is that he is now a resident here in Asia and is rockin' the clubs all over the eastern part of the world. Can't wait to see him hit the decks! His mix of smooth beats and sick rhymes are not to be messed with. Check out a few of his live sets below.
