Some good friends came together this past weekend in Los Angeles to showcase the Truth Seeker line of clothing at the Noni Boutique on Larchmont Blvd.. There was a sale, drinks, music and good vibes.

Raul Campos of KCRW's Nocturna program was on hand to throw down some beats, alongside friend Joaquin Garcia and myself.

This show is just a portion of the sounds that went down in support of our friends' clothing line and store. Don't forget to check the visuals in this enhanced podcast to see some of Truth Seeker's designs, Noni Boutique and Raul, Joaquin and I doing our thing!

All involved are incredible people so please support.

Solidstatela presents our newest set - jazz, funk and soul tracks about and/or inspired by our home state.

All the while we'll still be brining you the best in jazz, funk, soul and more! The Freshest Jams You Ever Heard!

Cool?

Cool.

playlists and commentary are now available at:

www.solidstatela.wordpress.com

You know, music has been ruling my world! Between this, the HVW8 podcats and a few other projects, it's hard to keep my head straight on everything... I finally made myself step back, take a breather and just mix some tracks. What a relief!

We still got the stuff! The mix is cool and it's renewed my energy. Hope it does the same for you.

Check our blog at www.solidstatela.wordpress.com for the forth coming playlist and commentary.

That's right! We're back full force. Solid State had some major changes happening over the last 4 months or so. Biggest deal is that the whole operation moved to the East Side. So we've been collecting mad mixes from friends and pumping music out the new pad. Look for major moves comin up.
