BEAT SOUP

Episode 121 of Beat Soup is coming from North County San Diego, from the one we know as Deep Jesus.  One of the OG's of the Jungle turned Desert Hearts crew, the sounds that come from Deep Jesus have always been top notch yet somehow continue getting better and better.

We would recommend doing what you need to do, just shy of actually killing someone, to get your ass to the next Desert Hearts gathering.  It's coming right up at the end of April, and makes for the perfect warm up for Lightning In A Bottle.

Sit back, take off your pants and let your Monday get a whole lot better . . . 

Greetings Souper Stars, this week our mix is coming from DJ/Producer, and UK underground legend, Pete Bones.  Having started out playing in bands in the 80's, he soon found electronic music and has spent the past 20 years behind the decks.  We're stoked to have him on board this week!

Check out more of Pete's music on his soundcloud page & give him a virtual high-five on his Facebook page.  If you're in LA on April 5th, Pete and Grant Plant will be throwing down an old school vinyl set for their first time in 10 years in Hollywood!

Max Magee, AKA Fritz Carlton, is a 21 year-old American underground House music producer who currently resides in the musically eclectic city of San Francisco. Originally hailing from Seattle, Fritz is now deeply entrenched within the Bay Area electronic music scene in both live performance and his own music. He also produces under the alias Solicitors, a duo comprising of himself & Jayko, a fellow Bay Area producer. Fritz draws clear influence from both the refined, dark Tech and Booty Bass sounds of the Bay Area and the smooth SoCal vibes of Los Angeles, where he first heard delved into electronic music and eventually House while attending college as a percussion major. 2013 saw a very significant spike in Fritz’s dedication towards all things House - with an EP coming soon on Perfect Driver Music and another in the near future with Grooverdose, 2014 is sure to be a solid year for this cat.

Check him out on Facebook and Twitter @fritzcarltonSF.
