December 01, 2025
We’re closing in on the end of the year, which means AOTY lists are right around the corner(the true holiday for music nerds such as myself). Still several very cool parties and shows coming up this month, plus some new RAD shows to be announced 👀
RAD ALUMNI RELEASE
One of the most talented dudes in California’s Central Valley…Producer, DJ, Song Writer, Vocalist and Rapper, vxDEDxv, dropped his new collab record with LST LVS. “We Need More Time” was two years in the making. Check out the 7th track on the album “Young Richie Valens” where vxDEDxv was told to "say some wild shit". S/O to myfoojavi who mixed and co-produced this record.
