This Saturday (2/18) Tammany Hall in NYC is the place to be, cause Cubic Zirconia’s Nick Hook and friends are celebrating the birth of the good Doctor. It’s Dre Day and everybody celebrating! Yes, before making headphones the man was responsible for some of the greatest rap tracks of all time. Come hear Nick, Project Matt and Egg Foo Young (aka Ghostly’s own Michna) drop bombs while you sip on gin and juice (open bar Bulldog from 9-10pm!) Get advance tix here.

The three amigos of rave are at it again, playing a show together in LA this Saturday. Grammy weekend, how conveeeenient… Get tickets while you can.

It’s not all magazine covers and Grammy nominations for A-Trak of course. None of this would be possible without good ole fashioned party rocking. So be sure to catch Trizzy in a town near you on The Great North American Club Crawl Tour, scratching its way from Canada to Cali and all in between. Full info and advance tickets here.
