We spoke with people featured in the LAist Studios podcast, 'Party Crews: The Untold Story,' to learn what the party crew scene of the 1990s and 2000s meant for them and what life is like now.
Sound equipment in Marcos Velasquez's recording studio, where he produces records for artists he manages.I got involved [in the party crew scene] through a friend named Luis. He gave me a stack of fliers. I was the kid that was cool with everybody, even with the high school kids. Everyone loved and kind of respected me. I just took advantage of that and would invite them to these parties. A few hundred flyers became a few thousand flyers.
You start [by] hitting up people like, “Yo bro, your tia still got this spot, this back yard? You think I could throw a party there? Tell her I'll shoot her a 100, 150 bucks.”Who are you gonna collab with? And also how's the flier gonna look like? The flier is everything. It kind of sets the mood before the person arrives.
The day of, wake up early, go fill up your noz tanks, go stock up on beer and liquor. I was still under age, so I had plugs in liquor stores, certain liquor stores in the hood that knew me and then they would just sell me the beer and liquor.I always wanted to make my mom proud by being able to be a young man that's self sustainable, she didn't have to buy me shoes or clothes or anything.
So then I stopped doing it. I was producing records. I'm more like a Dr. Dre individual. I'm like the orchestrator of the situation.
