Nosaj Thing – September 19th – Casselman’s

Estimated read time 5 min read

L.A. based producer Jason Chung, better known by his backward first-name moniker “Nosaj Thing,” headlined Cassleman’s last week and while he has gained popularity in the Hip-Hop scene in recent years both as a producer of his own creations and also for collaborations with rappers Kid Cudi, Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar on his own the mellow moods created by his music proved he may be a better fit for a great pair of headphones than a dance floor.

Mimosa – ‘Future Trill Vol. 2’ Listening Party – July 18th – Side 3 Studios

Estimated read time 5 min read

Mimosa has a gift for blending styles of music that had been kept under wraps through his previous releases. On ‘Future Trill Vol. 1’ he stuck with his Hip-Hop beat making and monstrous bass lines, but ‘Future Trill Vol. 2’ seems to venture away from that norm. He did continue to show off his craft of matching glitched synth lines with 808 drum beats to incite energy but also talked about how, while on tour, he has been inspired and influenced by different styles and sounds.
