Masahico Torres hosts IDDTL TAPES: ART SHOW in DTLA, a celebration of the release of his project "IDDTL Tapes: Volume 1". Pookie Went And Had The Best Night Ever.
Last Saturday night, in the Fashion District of Downtown Los Angeles, something truly special took place. Down an unassuming alley, a long line of eager Angelenos was forming to gain entrance to Masahico Torres’s IDDTL Tapes: Art Show. Sponsored by Redbull, Happy Hour, and Cup Of Troy, this event was the first of its kind, put together in celebration of the release of Masahico’s project “IDDTL Tapes: Volume 1” which is compiled footage of the many artists and events Masahico has worked with. The venue was packed with people, and upon entry guests were greeted with complimentary tacos and an open bar. Tacos and booze alone guarantee an awesome experience, and on top of this, the IDDTL Tapes: Art Show also featured local creative vendors, skate ramps, a Super Smash Bros competition, a giant TV wall art-installation, and an incredible lineup of the best up-and-coming DJs and burgeoning LA talent. IDDTL Tapes: Art Show was completely and utterly dope.

The IDDTL Tapes: Art Show was one of the best, most entertaining underground functions Pookie has been to all year. As soon as I pulled up, I could tell it was going to be dank just from the amount of heads waiting outside. However, I was not shocked due to the nature of the night’s musical lineup. The roster included LA’s best: Harrison Borts, Geo Mafia, Nashon9k, Julian Skiboat, Nevi, Jared Muros, and Pookie Favorite Buppy.. Each performer brought their own unique charisma and flare to the stage, from Jared Muro’s gritty, high energy set that immediately got the crowd’s blood pumping, to Nashon9k’s smoky, vibe-inducing r&b inspired set. Buppy. closed the night of phenomenal performances, playing tracks from his newly released debut EP “Cold Nights in Hollywood”.

While the stage was certainly on fire from all the awesome musicians, there was also some very high-quality art being displayed off thez so stage. Kids Be Kids Los Angeles and ANTiCSWORLD were both at IDDTL Tapes: Art Show, showing off their freshest garms. One item that was particularly dope was the EARTHSHANKA PLUSH HAT, a fully cut and sewn faux rabbit fur ushanka that comes with a custom pin of a hot air balloon on the front.

IDDTL Tapes: Art Show was, to say the least, completely amazing, and inspired me on so many different levels. Putting on Los Angeles’s most original, influential artists and giving them the space to shine that they deserve. Masahico Torres is undoubtedly a genius, responsible for the entire night and so much more, without him none of this would have existed. I will be 100,000% be attending the next IDDTL Tapes: Art Show, hopefully sooner than later, and I would highly recommend you stay in the loop with what Masahico Torres does next.
