[5/9] Preview: Los Master Plus, King Louie at Volstead

By

Los Master Plus May 9The official and unofficial pre-parties for this weekend’s big Pachanga Latino Music Festival are in full effect Friday, May 9. While the official pre-paty happens at Empire Control Rook & Garage downtown, the unofficial pre-pachanga events take place east of the highway. They are worth a look for Latin Alternative fans, specifically the Los Master Plus and King Louie event at Volstead Lounge.

Guadalajara-based electronica duo Los Master Plus are composed of El Comanche and Larry Mon. The two gained popularity online after remaking American pop faves into unique electro-norteña hits and for their amazing handlebar mustaches. The Pachanga alumni are sure to keep the dance vibe of the East 6th hotspot “turnt up.”

Local support comes from Peligrosa DJ and Royal Higness member King Louie.

Volstead Lounge is located at 1500 E. 6th next to Hotel Vegas. Doors open at 9 p.m. 21+ welcome. $7 cover. Visit the Facebook event page here.

Austin-based Latin DJ collective Peligrosa have not thrown down together since South By Southwest in March. For most of this year, the crew has been grindin’ it out in the studio and performing with side projects or individually. Tonight that changes as five Peligrosa members will be spinning at the newly re-opened Empire Control Room & Garage, formerly Creekside Lounge.

Peligrosa leader DJ Orión will be joined by Austin-based members Pagame, King Louie, Manolo Black and Chorizo Funk. Visuals by Vj 4th Wall and photos by Peligrosa photographer Quito. Dance to the best of electro-cumbia, dembow, 3ball, salsa and more. Show up early and be ready to stay late as this is only the beginning for Peligrosa at Empire Control Room & Garage. Peligrosa will be there again on July 19.

Empire Control Room & Garage is located at 606 E. 7th St. Doors open at 9 p.m. 21+ are welcome. $5 cover. Peligrosa will be on the back patio if weather permits. Visit the official Facebook event page here.

[10/6] Preview: Royal Highness ‘Screwmbia’ EP release party at Plush

By

Royal Highness is collaboration between Peligrosa DJ King Louie (Luis Espada) and Corpus Christie producer Principe CU (Svani Quintanilla- Selena’s nephew). The two met through a mutual friend down in Corpus Christie, DJ Dus, also of Peligrosa fame. Though the two have opposite personalities, King Louie being the outgoing one, they meshed to form the hottest new duo in the barriotech world. Together the two incorporate trap beats (repetitive high hats and snares with bass) with crunked out cumbia screwed down.

The duo released their debut EP on October 1, appropriately titled Screwmbia EP. The EP includes seven hot tracks that could only come from Texas-based Latinos and features a guest appearance from rapper Chingo Bling. Listen all the way through to track 6 and hear “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” like never before.

Royal Highness is celebrating the release of Screwmbia EP on Saturday, October 6, at Plush. Joining the celebration will be Austin-based DJ Kid Slyce and people from the Keep It Local collective. Plush is located at 617 Red River. 21+ are welcome. No cover. Visit the official event page in Facebook here.
