This looks like an amazing event, check out what Delicious Vinyl has to say about their new monthly series:

“Starting this month, Delicious Vinyl will be hosting a monthly workshop and demonstration event for aspiring DJs, producers and moguls. Located at Freak City, a collective storefront on 6613 Sunset Blvd. in the heart of Hollywood, the All Star Workshop will be a forum for DJs, musicians and engineers to come together and share new techniques and ideas. Participants will be encouraged to showcase techniques, secrets, tweaks and collaborate whenever possible.

In attendance will be Cut Chemist, critically acclaimed remix artist and founding member of Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli. Recording and performing for over twenty years, Cut Chemist started collaborating as a DJ at age 11 and started recording in 1987 with friends including Chali 2na and later with DJ Shadow. As a solo artist, he has contributed music for global ad campaigns for Apple and performed at flagship stores worldwide. His live show dazzles audiences with a selection of world music recently supporting Shakira on her Oral Fixation tour. At the DJ Workshop, Cut Chemist, with visuals by Pimpadelic Wonderland, will talk technique and showcase this collaboration.

Also presenting will be an original legend of the KDAY 1580 mix masters, DJ M. Walk. Starting on turntables at age 12 in Compton, by age 16, M. Walk was part of the original KDAY crew – the only hip hop radio station in the nation at the time, which later led to touring with Tone-Loc, MC Hammer and The Pharcyde. Rounding out the presentations will be Arabian Prince aka Professor X from NWA.

For those that never met DJ Dusk, let me tell you a little about my friend. Dusk (along with Miles) was the man behind LA’s most authentic underground hip-hop weekly, Root Down. During the years he put the party on, he and his event’s reputation attracted the creme de la creme of the music industry, who usually performed for free just because that’s how loved Dusk was. A few years ago, tragedy struck when Dusk was run over by a drunk driver. Typical of his character, he saved the life of another person by pushing them out of the way of the car, giving his life in the process. Dusk was a hero in life, and he remains a hero in death. RIP, friend.

Peep the video of him MCing the Soundclash to get a feel for how hype his shit was. Much more than a DJ battle, Soundclash had ill producers like Will.I.Am making beats live onstage for the crowd’s reaction. Watch for the full length version from Mochilla.
