BOOMBOX "404 DAY" EDITION [SAT.4/4]

BOOMBOX is back [SAT.4/4] celebrating 404 DAY with VOL.28 of our PRODUCER SHOWCASE series featuring beat icons DIBIA$E + AFTA-1 + the Boombox debuts of MARQUES MURREY + BRAVODOMO all rocking SP-404 sets!!

One of the most important names to come out of the influential early 2000s Los Angeles beat scene, the legend DIBIA$E has been snapping necks for well over 2 decades. Coming up through the ranks of local beat battles, his 2007 "Up The Joystick" EP created its own subgenre with its combination savage drums, wonky swing, and innovative flips of classic 8-bit video games. In 2007 he also rocked his first official beat set...at our 1-Year Anniversary! He's since released countless albums and become one of the faces of hip hop/lofi production. We couldn't be more hyped to have one of our OGs back on the set for another full-circle moment on his trusty 404!

Another don of the early 2000s beat scene, AFTA-1's ethereal productions and reclusive nature have pushed him to mythical status among beat fans. His 2008 "Aftathoughts Vol. 1" LP was an opus of mystical soundscapes over serious slaps, the likes of which the world had not yet heard. It spawned entire movements as Joe Kay once told us that Afta-1 is one of the reasons he founded Soulection. We were also honored to book Afta for his first ever live set at our 5th official Producer Showcase in 2009. Don't miss this incredibly rare appearance from one of our favorite beat gurus!

We're also honored to be hosting first-time callers MARQUES MURREY and BRAVODOMO! Marques got his start in church playing keys before pivoting to production where his soulful flips earned him an invite to Jazzy Jeff's infamous Playlist Retreat. Portland born/Sacramento based BravoDomo's made a name for himself in the krump scene producing high-energy beats and remixes across multiple genres. We can't wait to hear what these 2 are gonna drop on us for 404 Day!

2 returning legends + 2 anticipated Boombox debuts, all wrapped up in a special 404 Day celebration?! This one's gonna be a heater! Cop DISCOUNT PRESALE TICKETS now to secure your spot. Let's gooo, Los Angeles!

Celebrating their 15-year anniversary in 2021, they’ve gained a faithful following of music aficionados who all share one common trait: the love of hip hop culture.

Residents Inka One, Ben Diggin, and Mantron have created a signature sound and energy that is authentic, inclusive, and fiercely committed to promoting the culture and artistry of hip hop. For the past 18 years, Boombox has given Los Angeles a home for hip hop connoisseurs who understand the importance of the DJ. Since its inception, their mission has remained pure: to provide an honest hip hop/DJ-centric night that caters to the working-class crowd. No frills, no shiny aesthetics; just the music and DJ skills speaking for themselves.

Boombox has made an indelible impact on Los Angeles’ rich music culture and has helped introduce audiences to some of Los Angeles’ finest, such as Flying Lotus and Blu, while simultaneously giving Angelinos an opportunity to catch hip hop legends like Pete Rock, DJ Quik, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, 9th Wonder, Marley Marl, Stretch & Bobbito, Mix Master Mike, & countless others. Boombox is a destination for the world’s best hip hop DJs to come play the music they love; it’s as simple as that.

In a time fraught with division, Boombox stands tall as a Los Angeles staple where old friends unite, where new ones are made, and where all are welcomed and invited to experience a special night where the hip hop DJ shines.
