Also, tune in to Breakbeats and Rhymes Radio on 90.7 FM KPFK 2am - 4am, late Saturday night July 3rd (technically early July 4th) and catch BSM on air with record-giveaways.

free for everyone as long as you bring a canned good.

Home Before Any Place is a seasonal canned food drive presented by Beat Swapmeet and as the flier states, calls out to LA for help in feeding our brothers and sisters in this beautiful city.

buttonpusha got the BOOM

You know Buttonpusha as the Producer/DJ half of BP & ODDS and with that we know comes mad records from hours and hours of years of diggin. What most of yall don't know is that he's also a collector of boom-boxes. So when you hear songs like "Ultra-Magnetics" highlighting the era, you know it's coming from true experience. Peep the photos of Bobby Quevedo (Beat Swapmeet vendor) and Buttonpusha's boombox collection displayed at Boombox (Grand Star).



these boxes wouldn't be as fun without these:

DEEJAY ANALOG X BEAT SWAPMEET X EK5OBITION = REPRIEVE 45's MIX

DEEJAY ANALOG (Beat Hackers/Beat Swapmeet) dropped his new "REPRIEVE 45's" mixtape. Not only is it a sonic oddyssey through time, it remains as one of the most soulful mixtapes to be heard this year. An all 45's excursion, ANALOG brings the heat consistently through the mix with clever blends, hidden loops and an immaculate selection. A Beat Swapmeet X Ek5obition collabo. Along with hand drawn artwork from Mikolai and a layout by BP, this is a full package. You can download it here.

What does Mayer Hawthorne have in common with BP & ODDS?

That's easy. Other than the passion for music, this question can be summed up with one word....or should I say one person. That would be Rome One of Bloodbath. Rome is a skilled graphic artist who designed both our logos. I was peepin out the Bloodbath blog when I learned about him linking up with Mayer Hawthorne at Beat Swapmeet. Hawthorne saw his hand drawing of the graphic used for the Beat Swapmeet/Bloodbath collabo shirt and that was it. Check out the hand drawing of his logo used for his Stones Throw release:



And here is the BP & ODDS logo:



Im glad to hear that Beat Swapmeet is able to make these kind of connections happen. That is why both Bp & Odds have been on the staff from the get go...
