The Birth of L.A. Beat Scene as Told by Kutmah


Worthwhile interview of Kutmah covering the history of the L.A. "Beat Scene" before Low End Theory etc... Interestingly, Kutmah's L.A. deejay history is almost identical to the deejay career of yours truly. Same clubs, same time period, same everything (even firing dates). I guess Kutmah and myself were pretty much deejaying the same spots but on different nights (I had no idea). Recommended reading for all those interested in the L.A. Beat Scene. Read article HERE.

How come you never mentioned, over the years I've been on here, that you dj'd spots?

Pipo hides his identity because he's a teacher.

I've mentioned it a few times over the years. The irony is that I had no skills when I had gigs, and have no gigs now that I have skills (not that I'm really looking).

Hey Rudy. I've been hiding right here on Pipo's blog! If you're wondering about Dirt Castle... that's in the dirt. RIP. But 500 Mixes is still going strong. Pipo and I have a contest to see who can keep going the longest. So far, we're tied.

Technically, you're winning because you started a little before I did ;)

One day, hopefully. However, it will probably be a 15-20 minute broadcast given my current life circumstances
