On Sept 14th, 2008 the Condor & Eagle Alliance in conjunction with Los Angeles Indigenous Peoples Alliance (LAIPA) bring you “The 2nd International Indigenous Hip Hop Gathering” featuring artists from throughout the western hemisphere.

The moment Hip Hop was born it became a global phenomena and it permeated every barrio, reservation, community, favela, legua, and city. Hip Hop artists became street corner reporters, informing the world the happenings of the poor, the unwanted, and the forgotten. Today these artists with an indigenous identity & thought continue that tradition by reporting through rhymes that story of their people.

This September the “International Indigenous Hip Hop Gathering” brings together the 4 elements of Hip Hop from all 4 directions. The event will feature traditional dance, both Southern (Azteca) & Northern Native, DJ’s and a live graff art expo.

Offering Recordings is proud to Offer you this amazing Gem produced by the Amazing Dominican Republic Based Ezel.

Offering Recordings Presents:
His Presence
Ezel (ex Babyfunk) delivers a solid deep afro-rhythmed dancefloor heater in his first Offering Recordings release. Lead by a percussively melodic main version with full vocal by Fredy Massamba (Warriors of Africa) directly in front of the mix, Ezel’s deeper dub pulls the vocal back for a sparse arrangement with minimal instrumentation. Driven by heavy african percussion, both mixes are attracting attention from all sides and tastes in global soul–from deep & ancestral to driving & techy, His Presence is a proper bridge between traditional african and modern dance music.
Ezel’s Biography:

Originally from the DR, Ezel allows the spirits of nature guide him in the pursuit of his own destiny. His musical journey began by joining the funk and disco band Santo Domingo Funk Crew, allowing him the opportunity to discover the eclectic sonorities of Soul, Disco, House and R&B. Later remixing music for many of latin music’s hottest major acts (Multi-Platinum Calle 13, R.K.M, Ken -y-, among others), the purely commercial viewpoint of music wasn’t enough to satisfy his passion. By experiencing the work of Yoruba Records and many other sources, it was clear to him that the immediate purpose of his musical journey was not to make commercial music, but instead music that transcends consciousness.

Ezel’s first underground work was unveiled first in the form of The Hustle on Franck Roger’s imprint Earthrumental, and then the Afrika 2 Detroit EP for City Deep Music. Both efforts cataloged as solid releases, the songs charted in top10’s by Dj Gregory, Franck Roger & the 5 beats, Jay Tripwire and Dj Kellilicious, among others.

However, after a conversation with Osunlade, Ezel decided to return to zero and follow the guidance of the Yoruba Priest. In only a short time he was given the chance to remix Afrika by Gabriele Poso, resulting in an afro-cuban remix showing the unique flavors of his caribbean roots that reminisce the work of such praised latin combos as Fania All-Stars and Buena Vista Social Club. Future Plans include a debut Album on Yoruba Records, with inspiring collaborations with fellow label mate Boddhi Satva.

Surrender Afterhours
The BodyRockDJs
7 hour set

Benjamin and Marcus rotating all night!  Covering all shades of house from
tech to deep to bangin’ to beautiful. Last time at Maki’s Bday party we
had this party until past 6am. people rolled in force and got down to the
beat!  full room all night makes it better so make sure you bring a friend
that needs to party all night. we’re keepin it cheap too.  $10. get on
the email list www.bodyrockdjs.com

Surrender Afterhours.  we called it that cause we want the party attendees to surrender ‘everything’… surrender the cliques, attitudes, prejudice, ego, malice, and overall negativity.  we promise to try and do the same.  this is an afterhours about community and fellowship, and peace and progressive thinking.  this will not be the place of bad intentions or ill will.  it will only be positive and heartening.  if we all come in with that mindset we will leave with that mind SET.  we all have our issues, faults, defects, and so on and those should be left at the door as well.  we are now able to express ourselves,  and we’re no longer beholden to our current/onlyt set of friends.  it’s a new journey with new people some young and some old.  we hope that you reach out…. even if it’s in mind only, to those around you and see them as the unique, creative, and awesome people that they are… as well as yourself.  so, surrender.  let yourself dance into the morning.  simply let yourself open up and we will all try it with you.
