SHOW: 9th APRIL 2010 @ Vacation VInyl

This Friday we are taking over Vacation Vinyl for four hours. check out 5signs as they blend a one of a kind live performance with trademark dj skills. Pulling from their wicked deep catalogs, the 5 producers and many emcees that form like voltron to become 5signs will pleasure the ears and eyes for an extended in store performance. 4hours of music is hardly enough to fairly represent the 5sign music powerhouse, so come early, stay late, and bring a neck brace.

Thank You GoldSweatSF

My god, the content this crew brings and showcases is phenomenal! For those that don’t know, the 5Signs is a collective of beat makers, producers, MC’s, DJ’s, and taste makers that specializes in everything. Seriously, EVERYTHING. Experimental to commercial, broken beat to solid hip-hop beats, MPC Dance parties to 6 x 6 scratch routines. Holding down the City of Angels, GoldSweat has been a fan and friend of these guys for a long time. When GoldSweat moved from our apartment in the ‘loin to our new penthouse downtown, we featured their first podcast. Since, these guys have recorded 11! The only way to truly showcase their talent and taste, head over to their website. We feel that the timing is perfect! From the Bay to LA, the sun is shining. Let the 5Signs provide the sunscreen.

podCAST episodes 10 & 11

EPISODE 10 - 5SIGNS ROUND UP

After a plesant winter break, the school of neck breakage is back in session. We wanted to do something special for episode 10 and the kick off to or new format. So 5signs amassed in volume in the secret HQ of the most mysterious of the 5signs crew; ACCRETE! EL SUFI was on location as well, long time friend and collaborator (the 6th sign) El Sufi freestyles and also ryhmes live while Accrette performs on the mpc200xl. We don't all get together very often so this was a really fun recording for us. We hope you have just as much fun listening.

EPISODE 11 - LIVE FROM SAN DEIGO

For those of you sick of listening to us talking, and rambling over the 5signs podcast, episode 11 is for you. Recorded live off the decks at a rare 5signs San Deigo appearance, hosted by dj mawkus, former music director of famed san deigo college radio station KSDT. Mawkus jumps on the decks and drops some dancy shit, whilst NSOK, Foniks, ABF and alcendor play those neck breakers you've come to love. You can read a write up of the party here.

NEW remix EP for Mahoganny Browne. soon come. Check it out.
