Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban environment.

Mixtape : Onaquest - Moody Bluez
This mix reflects the mood I was in when the weather shifted from the warm summer breezes to the crisp, cool autumn air. Recorded live on the Echo Sessions weekly radio show on October 6, 2011, broadcast live from Hush Radio.
Thinking of taking a road trip? Wanna get out of the city for couple of days and experience some peace out on the coast or out in the forest? Take one these mobile campers for a fun filled trip!
The Happier Camper History
My father in Canada is a Die Hard Ultra Light trailer fan, and has been restoring these little guys since i can remember.A few years back i invented a popular electronic accessory called the iBallz™(iBallz.info), and my father wanted to help me in my business but couldn’t offer much more then the moral support. One day he asked me if i would like to use one of his retro 60’s Boler trailers for a convention to transport product and advertising. He painted it with our signature teal blue color and shipped it down to California. As soon as it rolled of the truck i was in love. The Boler was quickly adopted as our company mascot and made our brand immediately recognizable. People lined up to see our products, and to check out the “cool lil trailer”. I soon started taking the trailer out on weekends, to places all around California. Venturing out and getting up close to parts of the state i never knew existed. The trailer made it so easy to get up and go and enjoy the world around me. I was amazed with how easy the trailer was to tow, without breaking the bank in gas mileage. I’ve been to so many great places where i could just pull up, set up camp and wake to the most amazing sunrises i’ve ever seen. I felt i was reliving a time forgotten. As my love affair grew with the little trailer, i started restoring other ultra lights and soon found myself with a driveway full of these quirky fiberglass campers . “The Happier Camper” is the result of this, a start-up venture featuring new and restored vintage ultra light trailers with an emphasis on eco-friendly designs. Please visit us to see these unique mini campers at our lot in the Los Angeles area or check out our website, HappierCamper.Com and feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
Sincerely, Derek

Autumn is upon us, and September & October are the perfect months to get some camping in before “the cold” really sets in. These next few posts will be based on inspirations which will fuel me to get to the Sequoias for a couple of nights under the stars amongst the majestic trees. Check out the slideshow for this ideal minimal escape in the mountains NW of Tokyo.
The Timmy Thomas joint “Why Can’t We Live Together” is a classic. Here’s a dancefloor friendly edit for you by Ben Finn. I will be droppin’ this tomorrow night in SF.

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS - by ASTRAY FILMS
True poetry in motion. Watching this gives me the hunger to push myself to explore and travel to remote and foreign lands to experience the sensation of finding myself humbled by the majesty and beauty of Mother Nature.
Anytime I’m in a new city, I always find myself at a record store diggin through stax of vinyl and absorbing the local dj culture. This time I found myself at the legendary HARD WAX in Berlin. They have a comprehensive collection of Detroit techno, Chicago classics, obscure European vinyl only labels, and some reggae/dub to round it all out.
