TONIGHT : Baron Von Luxxury & Midnight Juggernauts @ The Echo
Our friend Baron Von Luxxury from Disco Workout is playing the Echo in Echo Park tonight w/ Midnight Juggernauts, and we at Teleportdoor can’t recommend it more.
As a DJ I’ve been poaching mp3s from Barron’s website for like 3 years now, and after seeing his band live earlier this summer I promise you’ll love it. And NO you can’t bring your gat.
Here’s a great BVL HEALTH remix worth downloading right now, along with a fun MJ video below.
Midnight Juggernauts – Vital Signs
Monday July 26
The Echo
1822 West Sunset Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90026-3227
Weekend heatwave relief in sight
This time of year, it’s difficult to navigate the streets of Los Angeles proper without suntan lotion and your car’s AC on blast. We’re just rebounding from an oppressive heatwave last week that keeps Angelinos from doing what they love most — namely enjoying the outdoors and exploring the town for new haunts, and can expect cooler weather and heads this weekend at last.
Here are our recommendations below:
FRIDAY JULY 23
Robyn and Kelis All Heart Tour (concert)
The Music Box
6126 Hollywood Blvd.
My future ex-wife Robyn is headlining with Nas’ ex-wife Kelis. Both just released stellar albums that remind me of Madonna’s Confessions on a Dance Floor. Count me in.
SATURDAY JULY 24
Renegade Craft Fair 2010 (event)
July 24–25
FREE : Daily (11am–7pm)
Los Angeles State Historic Park
1245 N Spring St
DIY hipster clothes and furniture all in one of my favorite parks in LA.

FREE Saturday July 24 (10am–4pm) & Sunday July 25 (10am–4pm)
Ghettogloss

Along with art, you get a fine selection of LA based food trucks, selling more than just tacos. I’ve noticed that many are run by restaurants offering bite sized versions of their best menu items.
Weekend fun, cuddle parties and more…

Here at Teleportdoor, we have a habit of big-upping our friends and kin-folks that make us smile. And under no exception is our friend Neiliyo, one of our first interns in good old Austin days, all grown up and funky.
We swear, Neil needs to have his own kids show.. like now.
Stay tuned for info on his upcoming shows while touring in LA later this summer.

how do you say tapas in korean?
K-town’s underground tapas scene is like visiting the future – if, in the future, everyone speaks Korean and hangs out in hazy dive bars known for spicy late night kimchi and ass-flooring dragon juice.
Straight out from some steampunk chapter of Bladerunner’s Los Angeles, DGM (Korean for “Back Alley”) is the kind of dig where you can share a pitcher of beer, smoke a cigarette (yes, you can smoke there) and wait for your memory-dealer to show up with a mechanized stripper with a fake snake. Or not.
New Berlin : Super Social : mixtape
Download it now : New Berlin : Super Social mixtape
The bookend to an awesome night. Dusting off the Venice beach sand from Art Hause v1 was less of a bummer for New Berlin — it was more like change in plans. By plans, we mean something like a night out in Silverlake with an unlimited credit credit card and a designated driver. The proof is in the ones and zeros on the “Super Social” mixtape.
And he’s not leaving anyone out of the fun either. Throwing golden dancefloor high-fives every second, this tape will make you sweat your clothes off and leave you feeling good enough in the AM to shop for another outfit and sweat that one off all over again.

Of course if you enjoy the mix he only asks one thing — just remember to forward it to your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or Digg below.
BTW – Many thanks to the following friends for lending their vocal talents and ideas to the proceedings : Care Clusaki (crashkingdom.com), Stephen R and Lindsey (architectheroes.blogspot.com), Neil Petty (neiliyo.com), Jerel De Marte (www.myspace.com/jerelfrommars)
New Berlin : Art Hause v1 : mixtape
Download it now : DJ New Berlin : Art Hause v1
Lately I’ve been spending alot of my free time in and around Venice Beach. If you’ve never visited, it’s almost magnetic and at the same time very inspiring. This new mix was intended to be series of field recordings off the shoreline, capturing the sounds of children playing and cars passing by near the lapping waves and busy boardwalk — book ended by a few fun songs.
Soon it evolved away from being a dancey mix to something more introspective, mainly because I want to share these recordings with art galleries and storefronts. So there you have it, a compact 45 minute mix of chin-stroking electro pop, downtempo, idm, and shoegaze — perfect for pondering art, or doing yoga poses. Feel free to use it as you see fit.
