Tonight at Family Bookstore, go check out Golden Hits (which if y’ain’t familiar is comprised of the bros who do DubLab). The show should be exactly one metric ton of TITE. If you wanna taste before you buy into this recommendation, you can listen to and download a DNTEL remix of one of their live sets from big sur. See you there.
