In Downtown Santa Ana, the heat was bumping, just like the sounds coming from the speakers.
Beat Swap Meet, Raw Kulture & Diggin Daily put this pop-up together with the help of vendors.
Vendors mainly sold vinyl, but others sold merch, hip-hop toy figures, cassettes, and CDs.
The dance battle was a beautiful moment that felt necessary.
Live music and all vinyl sets by Chris Taylor, “The Glove,” DJ Loser, Big Dbo & DJ Luer of the Funk Freaks, Dj Rhettmatic, Kid Abstrakt, CholaOrange, 671, DJ Luman, Dj Abel, Quest 9, Cancun Joey, High Funktions, Karlos Evakuate, & Spin Out Club.
Vinyl sets also play inside the Wursthaus bar and restaurant, perfect for everyone who wants to duck the heat.
This event was the first beat swap meet in five years.
Hopefully, it won’t be that long til the next one because this event was fantastic!
Vinyl DJ sets, Bboy & Bgirl dance battles, & like-minded people of the culture came together, ain’t nothing like community.
