What appears to be early/mids 90's high school footage, brought back so many memories.

Life can be a real trip sometimes. ;-) _ Alex" A massive apology to the three gentlemen behind Lost In Groove, My computer was acting up, so I decided to delete old unused folders and files and wouldn't you know it, an incredibly enjoyable, fun interview full of laughs, interesting stories and all-around joyous vibes was gone forever.

You get an extraordinary downtempo mix that hits all the marks! Vince is a local legend that has been a major player in the Sacramento scene and beyond for as long as I can remember. If you have ever had the pleasure of watching Vince DJ, you can tell that he is fully invested in his mixes and absolutely loves what he does (it's rare to see him DJ without his signature crazy infectious smile). We are so pleased that Vince agreed to submit a mix and hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do! Michael Garrison is one of the members of Requiem events and is a local scene contributor eager to get his hands dirty providing excellent experiences within our city. I had a really fun chat with Michael and enjoyed hearing about his passions, enthusiasm and some of the creative ideas that he has. As Sacramento continues to grow we can use more people like him to usher us into the new scene and fuse the old with the new and let us all dance in harmony. Another fabulous episode that we hope you enjoy as much as we do! As always thank you for the support!

Make Friends Radio is a monthly open format music podcast! This Month's Guest: Barbuto: https://soundcloud.com/cbarbuto Episode 21 featuring: Barbuto & a Requiem The first mix this month comes with the very exciting news that Requiem and Make Friends Radio will be collaborating to deliver amazing content for the shows to come. We are still actively working on the details, but stay tuned for some fun things in the future! To celebrate the good news, we received a mix from the one and only Barbuto! Barbuto is originally from the Sacramento area and moved to Austin TX where he was able to rise to stardom in the Techno scene. We are proud of his accomplishments and honored to host a mix from such an incredible talent. If you are catching this at the beginning of September, he is traveling home September 14th to play at Technosaic with the Lost In Groove boys alongside some of Sacramento's favorite local talent. Have a listen, tell us what you think and thank you for the support!

Make Friends Radio is a monthly open format music podcast! This Month's Guest: Cantos: https://soundcloud.com/dj-cantos-1 https://www.facebook.com/sean.cantos Hello My Name Is (HMNI): https://www.facebook.com/HMNIRadio/ Featuring: Devil May Care (Jess & Josh) Jess: https://www.instagram.com/justjess1248 Josh: https://www.instagram.com/poptart.jesus/ Devil May Care: https://www.facebook.com/dmcicecream/ Episode 20 featuring: Sean Cantos & Devil May Care Episode 20s mix is brought to you by one of the most influential and well-respected DJs in the Sacramento community and beyond. Sean Cantos has been a staple in the scene well before dinosaurs roamed the earth and continues to provide unique music, experiences and constantly lifting up new members of the community. He is one of the founding members, if not the most founding of founders of the “Hello My Name Is (HMNI)” crew and a constant contributor to locally sourced record labels like Selekta and “Listen To House Music.” I knew when I asked Sean to submit a mix outside of the typical house music mix that he would not disappoint. Enjoy this mix while we still have warm weather and roll the windows down and let the speakers go! We are also joined by a few of the boys from my favorite Ice Cream shop, Devil May Care at one of my favorite places to drink beer, Drakes! Devil May Care is currently a small shop with nine unique and creative flavors daily, but will be expanding to downtown very soon where they will be able to expand their offerings (CELEBRATORY!!!). Some of the cool flavors I have enjoyed have included Lucky Charms cereal milk, cornbread, elote, whiskey with salted caramel and red, white and blueberry. An added benefit to this super hip small local business is that it is owned by a really cool individual Jess, with support from a really cool staff like Josh the ice cream maker. Really happy I got a chance to meet these guys and welcome them to the Make Friends Family! Please support local small businesses. Have a listen, tell us what you think and thank you for the support!

Make Friends Radio is a monthly open format music podcast! Featuring: Ed Fletcher https://www.instagram.com/perpetualf Do The Dance: http://dothedance.net/ (maybe NSFW btw) https://www.instagram.com/pinkfilm1969/?hl=en This Month's first mix: Chris Shelton (aka Me) First up for the month of August is a nice little house mix from yours truly, preceded by an interview with the president of Sacramento Valley Spark, Mr. Ed Fletcher. Ed Fletcher is a long-time contributor to the Sacramento region as a journalist for the Bee, documentarian, burner, heading an initiative to bring art to Sacramento. We are a week away from Summer Spark (Art Park Celebration) on August 10th which will feature a little taste of Buring Man with art music and themed camps. We also chatted about his upcoming feature-length documentary film in the making "Do the Dance" explores a wild and impactful 1969 indecency trial to tell a broader story about the limits of sexual expression 50 years later. The film is slated for a 2019 release. The trial over "bottomless" dancing at a Northern California beer bar lept on to national headlines after Judge Earl Warren Jr. decided that the jury needed to see the dancer "Do the Dance." "During the freewheeling Summer of Love, one bottomless dancer went to the top of the witness stand in a trial that tested the limits of free expression. 50 years later, in the midst of celebrity nude selfies and a burlesque revival, this unforgettable court case continues to shape our culture of sexual expression." - Chris Macias, art critic Have a listen, tell us what you think and thank you for the support!

This Month's Guest: Karizma https://soundcloud.com/karizma https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005284157686 Featuring: Tim Manas (Lite Brite) https://www.facebook.com/TimJManas Lite Brite https://www.facebook.com/timmanas/ On the second installment of July's MFR we have another Sacramento house legend with a guest interview from the most legendary sound guy around. Please welcome Karizma, a local staple in the house music scene and a real inspiration to many here locally with his creative and unique sound. Chris tried to escape his local roots in Sacramento to the Pacific Northwest, but realized the Sacramento gravitational pull wasn't having that and was drawn back to us...Universe...finishing college...whatever...who knows? The good thing is that he is back in action riding his bike all over town and dropping fat mixes for us all to enjoy. Check out his smooth mixes of Afrobeats, Jazz and more. Drop a comment to let him know what you think! I also got the pleasure to speak with the one and only sound stage bad man himself, Tim Manas. We sat down for a chat at Old Soul over a beer to discuss what it takes to be a sound guy and some of the extra fun stories that come along with it. If you have been to THIS Midtown at all this year, you have experienced the powerful signature sound that comes along with LiteBrite Productions. Stay tuned to Tim for details on his 30-year anniversary party scheduled for sometime in December. Have a listen, tell us what you think and thank you for the support!

This Month's Guest: Tooth (aka Trooth) http://soundcloud.com/toothdj http://www.facebook.com/toothdj/?ref=br_rs Featuring: Juan Carlos http://www.facebook.com/juancarlos.cuevas.142 Brewer From New Helvitia https://www.facebook.com/NewHelvetiaBrewingCo/ This month we come with a new approach to the community and have welcomed not only a talented DJ, but also an experienced and well-educated beer enthusiast/brewer for a great conversation and excellent mix. Please meet our new friend Tooth a.k.a. Trooth from this point forward. He is a local tastemaker who is affiliated with some of the most well-respected events in Sacramento including Lost In Groove and Deep Space Drive-In. Tooth is constantly pushing the boundaries and digging deep looking for unique sounds and creative blends to provide one of a kind mixes to our community. You can expect to hear a wide variety of sounds in this mix from atmospheric tunes, to weird robotic jams alongside a breakbeat here and there. We are feeling duper fortunate to continue to welcome such talented people to share their craft with our listeners. Check out his upcoming events on his Facebook page. We also got to take a moment to sit down with one of the coolest guys on the block, Juan Carlos. If you have been to any house music events locally, you're probably second in line to the dancefloor behind him. Juan Carlos invited Rich and Myself to New Helvita to discuss the process and his interests in the beer community. It seems that Sacramento is one of the leading national locations for a strong and extremely healthy beer scene and Juan Carlos is one of the many driving forces behind our communities success with award-winning beers.

This Month's Guest: Oshiin https://soundcloud.com/djoshiin https://www.facebook.com/djoshiin/ Featuring: Diego Valle https://soundcloud.com/diegovallemusic https://www.facebook.com/diegovallemusic https://soundcloud.com/listentohousemusic https://www.facebook.com/listentohousemusic/ This month we welcome one of the fastest rising names in the Sacramento scene, the very talented Oshiin. You may have heard him around town, you may have seen him at the Park, This is Midtown last year, you may have banged your head to some of his original releases. Regardless, this is a name hopefully you become more familiar with. challenged with the task to come up with a forward-thinking, less aggressive and a chill listening dubstep mix, Sean comes through with big drums, dark noises, heavy dub and an all around in your head trippy mix. Big ups to the man himself and thank you for the submission! This months conversation was with the legendary local house music label LTHM boss man, Diego Valle. His label has reached over 100 releases and has been huge support helping to launch some of our hometown heroes into success. He also is part of the driving force behind keeping the Sol Sundays parties at Mango's going strong year after year. He doesn't know this, but the last time Rich, Lu and I went to the BPM festival, we saw him DJing at one of the local bars.

Make Friends Radio is a monthly open format music podcast! This Month's Guest: Erin Best https://soundcloud.com/dj_erin Featuring Requiem (Ben) https://www.instagram.com/requiemevents/ https://www.facebook.com/requiemevents/?ref=br_rs It finally happened, we convinced Erin Best to submit a mix! Erin is a very talented local DJ that for whatever reason does not put herself out there very often. She has a great ear for music and has an eclectic taste for out of the box jams. She pushes the envelope and has even had an influence on me and my sound. Honestly, this mix likely would not have happened if she was not best friends with my fiance so shout outs to Jazmine as well. Super stoked to have her on board and please reach out and book her to break her hermit tendencies and expose Sacramento to some dope beats. Our conversation this month comes from one of the major contributors to the Sacramento scene, not just musically, but is heavily involved with other elements of our culture. I was fortunate enough to get hooked up with Ben from Requiem through Erin and feel fortunate to have the opportunity. Ben has a can-do attitude that stemmed from being a DJ looking to play parties, to now throwing some of the biggest parties in Sacramento. He and his crew are responsible for bringing some of the dopest local DJs and the biggest international talents through our city. Some of the more recent notable events that they have thrown involve the Banana Sundae s day parties at the Flamingo House, This Midtown Block Parties, Neon Chapel and many many more. Have a listen and get to know our new friend! Side Note: I am fully aware that I called this the May episode on accident... However, I assure you that we have not time-traveled and as long as you are listening to this within 15 days of it being posted... It is still April. We hope you guys enjoy!

He hosted Pure Tuesdays back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and frequently hosts events with Midnight at the Park Ultralounge. One of my favorite current events that he hosts is Dayhaus at Mix over Major three day weekend. Those shoes have seen acts like Halo Vargas & Colette most recently. We hope you enjoy the Chat with Brian about some Sacramento dance culture history. We hope you guys enjoy!

ich & Chris Make Friends' monthly open format music podcast! This Month's Guest: Jonathan Francis & Haitham As some of you may have noticed, we missed a few months of the show. Unfortunately, due to personal family issues, we needed to put it on the back burner. To make it up to everyone we are submitting a double feature. The first mix is compliments of Pompi aka Jonathan Francis aka Jonathan aka 50% of 241 Techno and so on. He is an inspiration to most DJs with a unique sound and an amazing ear for tunes. The second mix comes straight from arguably the nicest person you will ever meet. Haitham is not only a shining example of what a good human being should look like, but also an awesome DJ with a creative side we think you will enjoy! Mix one: Jonathan Francis Mix two: Haitham
