Need a fix for a big ass show? Well here is one for ya’…Above and Beyond are seriously sick at dropping dope sets wherever they go and I am pretty sure this will be no different, this time on the 18th at the Sunshine in Albuquerque. Now I am not a huge trance fan or anything, but this act is definitely one to catch. SMG has been doing it huge in New Mexico and this year looks great from the group. More info 
Speaking of Albuquerque the annual hip hop show Breakin Hearts is back again and it has always been an amazing show. With B-boy battles, workshops, art and live music this one is truly underground – dont sleep! More info 
February is turning out to look like an AMAZING month with a ton of top talent coming through, and first we are super excited to see Robert Babicz coming on Feb 12th to El Paso! This is one hell of a headliner with his studio mastery knocking it out of the park anytime he releases a track! If you think you are a good producer, just try to remix one of his tracks and post it on soundcloud – and he will give feedback EXACTLY how he feels. He made a name for himself as Rob Acid – making banging tech and acid tracks for quite a while and now he is regarded as a true studio master. Take some time out to make it to this show, we guarantee an incredible night! Special thanks to Pastilla for bringing out the big guns this year - 
Next we have AMP bringing another big name – Worthy, fromthe DirtyBird Label. Worthy is a super in-demand name in the house circuit right now, alongside major players like Claude Von Stroke and J Phlip. With a string of solid releases on quite a few prominent labels such as Curfew, Om and Utensil as well as his own label Katabatic Records – worthy is destroying dancefloors worldwide with that bangin’ bass sound. Opening they have Aler & Payolet as well as Spy & Che. Make sure to make it out! More info 
One last one real quick that we heard about is legendary lyricist Black Thought coming through El Paso on Jan 29th. The info is kinda slim but it will be at Wet Ultra Lounge and the fliers are already out but no fb page for the event. Really though, what else do you need to know? It’s Black Thought! As if being in the seminal hip hop group The Root wasn’t enough – this major inspiration from Philly has worked with just about all of the best producers in the world and his next level conscious rhymes are always elevating the game.
