3 years ago, I threw my first party at Mezzanine in San Francisco. It was my first time bringing a Beautiful Buzzz show into a room of this large capacity and I was so nervous! I sold out that show weeks in advance, it was the best feeling in the world, and it was with Ed Banger legend .... Breakbot! Fast forward to today, I am now in-house talent buyer at Mezzanine, and we'll be reuniting with Breakbot once again for a huge dance party. I'm not so nervous this time around ... just super excited! This French producer's sets are next level, seriously! Tickets are on sale now and if you are in the Bay Area, I highly suggest you grab yours ASAP ... because I plan on selling this one out again!

TWO FRIENDS LA SHOW RECAP+Q&A

Here at Beautiful Buzzz we generally only provide coverage for single tracks. We like to keep it simple. But once in a while we like to offer an inside look into the lives of artists with whom we really love and consider homies. This past weekend we caught up with Two Friends after their show in Los Angeles at the El Rey Theatre.

This hard-working yet light-hearted DJ duo has been picking up momentum since they first started putting a slew of remixes and original tracks on SoundCloud 5 years ago. Known for their riotous social media antics, viral remixes of hits like “Mr. Brightside” and “Trap Queen”, SoundCloud chart-topping “Big Bootie Mixes”, and recent original pop-leaning singles like “Out of Love (feat. Cosmos & Creature)”, “Emily (feat. James Delaney)”, and “Just A Kid (feat. Kevin Writer)” the friend pair of Matt Halper and Eli Sones have earned a well-deserved following and respect as one of the foremost rising acts in the scene.
Saturday night, playing to a sold-out crowd at the legendary El Rey Theatre in the heart of LA, I finally got to witness firsthand why these fellas are quickly climbing the ladder of success—they really know how to get the crowd moving. Some young DJ acts today it seems just hit the play button, jump up and down, and run around the stage hyping the crowd, but it’s clear that Two Friends can do that and simultaneously actually DJ—mixing between tracks quickly and seamlessly flowing from throwback classic to Top 40 remix to their original releases, bringing guests like James Delaney and Kevin Writer on stage to perform their features. Two words can be used to sum up the night and all the fun that was had: Dance. Party.
