Happy Sunday Friends! It’s been a busy past couple of weeks for us here at C+A+D. And I mean that in the best way possible! Because of the lack of stuff to do lately, I’ve taken it into my own hands to work everyday and go to shows every night. Our photographer Phil and I have covered events for Mumbai Science, Paul Chambers, Kill the Noise, Zeds Dead, and Emalkay in the past two weeks, and we don’t plan on stopping there. Tonight it continues at Drai’s for Sinden and Baauer! 21+ RSVP for free before 11 by clicking here and emailing sundays@dimmak.com, or you can buy tickets to be safe. Should be a nice change of pace, especially considering how big trap music is getting as of late. Keep in touch! HARD SUMMER IS NEXT WEEK :D !! Enjoy #106:

I sit before you today with a new rendition of the former YOLO list. After Drake used the phrase in his song, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be a good thing or a bad thing. This was mainly because I had been using it for over a year, and I was still set on sending a message with it. Turns out it was definitely a bad thing, and the name now has such a stigma to it.

The idea of building up your life to have a good retirement has always bugged me. How do I know I’m not going to get hit by a car on my way home today? Or how do I know I won’t get sick and fail to get better? It seems cynical, but the point is everyday of your life counts, and everyone should focus on making their dreams a reality. I still want to send the same message to everyone with these lists, in hopes that people make the most out of every second of their life. All the while, opening their minds and ears to new or old styles of music. There is so much out there to find out about, and we can use it to optimize our lives. After all, music is the universal key to happiness. That being said, enjoy #105:

I’m pretty sure it was a less than a year ago where Boys Noize tweeted something along the lines of “Watching Black Lips live. Finally see some normal people.” And just last week we saw Kill the Noise wearing a WAVVES shirt during his set. Now this…Sweet Valley, which happens to be the side project of Wavves front man Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan, is set to release an instrumental beat tape for A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records! Though Boys Noize’s comment comes off a bit snarky (I kinda know what he means), it’s cool to see the garage rock and fuzz punk steez transcend over to a predominately electronic scene. This mixtape titled Stay Calm has summer all over it and is set to release on August 7. Check the tracklist and single for free download after the jump:

The Yost theater is well on their way of being the top contender in Orange County’s battle for best EDM venue. It all took a turn after LED Events saw the potential of the rising scene in the area and invested in the Yost with a crazy lineup of shows. The first event we couldn’t miss, and debatably one of their biggest: Kill the Noise. Read on after the jump:

Happy Sunday party people. With the 104th installment of the weekly YOLO list, I bring good news. Orange County is finally shaping up with big events, but few compare with Insomniac’s fresh event series installment at Ten Nightclub. Now I know that this club has had roughly 30 name changes in the last year, but I’m pretty sure Ten is here to stay. With major renovations including a 360 LED wall and big name artists finding their way to this intimate venue, shit is about to get real. Real quick too. Tonight they bring C+A+D favorite and their heaviest hitter yet: ZEDS DEAD. (Supported by our homies Slander). Online presale is sold out, but tickets will still be sold at the door so get their early! Grab the tracks after the jump and get hyped. Enjoy #104:
