Everyday Mixtapes & KBOO Present:
ILL CAMILLE: http://www.illcamille.com/
After building her name up through LA’s underground, Ill Camille took a professional hiatus due to hardships that forced her to grow both personally and musically. Always stressing the importance of God and family before everything else, since finding the light at the end of the tunnel she has designed Heirloom as a collection of stories dedicated to keeping
her head on straight in the midst of turbulence.
Ill Camille’s divine mission to uplift the world through Heirloom is an extension of ancestry that includes musicians and fighters whose spirits make her art a necessity. Translating her tumultuous past few years through cathartic soulful Hip-Hop, creating this album was key to maintaining her sanity as she notes “I don’t think I had a choice in the
matter”.
Despite self-awareness being at the core of who Ill Camille is on and off of the mic, the bittersweet beauty of her most introspective release to date is the life struggle contained within her songs. Heirloom details all she’s experienced since 2012’s Illustrated, from losing relatives to incarceration and death, her own health complications and mistakes made diving headfirst into love and lust.
Evidenced by Heirloom’s lead single “Almost There” (which features recent TDE signee SiR), and her follow up “Home”, Ill Camille is able to shine by simply relaying her innermost truths for the world to relate to. Never overthinking the process in figuring out her path, she says “I let the spirit in my feeling guide me in everything, I didn’t plan anything out. Your music should reflect the mental space you’re in at the time, I have a moral
obligation to put that on my records.”
A window into Ill Camille’s upbringing, last four years and days to come, Heirloom represents a rebirth with her continuing to evolve as a woman before being a warrior. In the end, inner strength and communal support triumphed over her setbacks and obstacles, with Camille summing up the experience saying “I was inspired to finish this project because I owed it to myself and the people around me the respect to show my appreciation for them.” Having used pressure to form a diamond, this latest body of work
promises to speak for past, present and future generations of confused souls determined to become hopeful survivors.
Heirloom has received press on the blog of Solange’s label, Saint Heron, in Brooklyn Vegan, LA Weekly, and NPR's 21 Hip Hop Albums That Reflected The Politics of Race, Space, and Place in 2017.
FRITZWA: https://fritzwa.bandcamp.com/
This soul-drenched sound doesn’t quite sit in a neat box of influences Hailing from NYC’s Lower East Side, with West African heritage, Fritzwa’s lifelong experience has been constantly enveloped in artistic inspiration;
From Broadway to poetry, jazz to traditional, childhood dance classes and piano lessons, to balmy summers listening to Hot 97
She say’s, “I see art in everything,” and it’s something she translates into her music —
Including her latest, the self-written and produced Avenue |A|.
Whether she’s finding painful beauty in break-ups, or creating melodic soundscapes from NYC’s subway ambience, Fritzwa’s creativity and musical talent shine through in a beautiful way.

Multi-talented lead vocalist of Portland's adored Loch Lomond, Ritchie Young is known for his own ambitious production, so assembling a group of excellent musicians to perform a selection of songs from Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs is fitting.

Robin Bacior's songs come at you like a Viking ship sliding through a foggy dawn toward the light. Creating movement with her simple yet ballet-like piano, and accentuated by simple orchestral elements, singer/songwriter Bacior sets the pace in these quieter and fiery moments. Then she draws the listener back with soothing and reassuring vocals. JENI WREN STOTTRUP

"Nice laidback folky pop. J. Wong’s songs have a nice -sincere sound that is most appealing…and they sound nothing like what you normally hear from your average up-and-coming underground rock band. Wong was a founding member of the band Rand-Univac and is now out on his own writing and recording music in a decidedly different genre. This guy has a great voice and writes what might best be described as classic folky pop. With the right marketing and luck…Wong could very easily find himself hugely famous…"

XRAY DJs will be curating your holiday playlist throughout the event, stop by the XRAY table to say hello!
Chances With Wolves are an American treasure. They host a weekly two hour radio broadcast on East Village Radio and Portlands own XRAYFM. Every show is amazing and they never play the same song twice.
DJs Kenan Juska, Kray La Soul and Mikey Palms are obsessive music miners who specialize in artfully arranging rare and unusual tracks. Their tag-line sums it up nicely: “Repping hard for haunting beauty, magic, and the weird.”
This is their first time DJing in Portland in forever and it's guaranteed to be magic.

More details on their event page here.
The Selecter
The Selecter is led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black, whose recent series of shows on BBC 6Music were hugely well received, and whose book ‘Black By Design’ continues to sell in droves worldwide, alongside an incredible talented band of musicians, including Neil Pyzer (Spear Of Destiny) Will Crewdson (Rachel Stamp) and co-fronted by original member Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson (who features extensively on Subculture).
The anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs during the 2 Tone era, when they toured with the Specials and Madness at the peak of their early fame is still there, except the pair (Pauline & Gaps) seem more driven than ever. Their confidence is sky-high and they’re also writing the best songs of their career, which is saying something given the enduring popularity of hits like Three Minute Hero, Missing Words and On My Radio.

XRAY.FM’s Everyday Mixtapes presents:
Mic Capes Music // OCnotes // DoNormaal
A night of Northwest R&B + Hip Hop with up-and-comers OC Notes and DoNormaal of Seattle and Portland’s own Mic Capes. Thursday, June 29th at The Liquor Store. Live DJ sets upstairs by DJ Danyak and Shira and Jené of Everyday Mixtapes (Saturdays 2-3pm on XRAY.FM). A stacked line up of experimental hip hop, electronic, R&B, and everything in between.
$10 at the door | Show at 9pm
Mic Capes Music (https://miccapesmusic.bandcamp.com/) is a prolific hip hop artist from Portland, OR. Capes is known for having vivid story telling ability, raw lyricism, and thought provoking social commentary as key components of his music while at the same time making it all very palatable. He released his debut solo album "Rise & Grind" in 2012 and made a huge impact on the local hip hop scene. In September of 2016 he solidified his prowess as an upper tier artist dropping his critically acclaimed album "Concrete Dreams", which was voted the number one Hip Hop Album to come out of Portland, Oregon by Willamette Week as well as mention in The Oregonian for having one of the top 10 albums of 2016.
OCnotes (https://ocnotes.bandcamp.com/) was born in the Southwest & raised in the World. His music & art has been exhibited in museums, featured in movies & on television. He was nominated for a 2015 Stranger Genius Award in Seattle, Washington.
"His solo work and collaborations with Shabazz Palaces, THEESatisfaction, Erik Blood, & many many others have made him a favorite of the Emerald City’s most forward-listening.”
Along with an enormous self released catalog, OCnotes recently signed with Secret Angels Records, founded by Seven Davis Jr. in Los Angeles, & has numerous releases with Homeskillet Records founded by Silver Jackson.
DoNormaal (https://soundcloud.com/donormaal/) is a Californian vocalist and hip hop artist living in Seattle whose hypnotic 2015 debut LP, Jump or Die, was noted for its trance-like, down-tempo rhythms and slick, fluid poetry. She experiments in morbid, emotional, prayer. Her style is genre-bending with many different influences, but heavily rooted in Hip Hop & Rap. Most recently, DoNormaal has performed alongside Princess Nokia and Seattle’s Upstream Music Festival.
Ali Muhareb's Mujahedeen has come pretty far over the past few years. What started out as a solo project has since brought in more members and completely revamped its sound. Muhareb's vision began as a reverb-heavy outburst of electronic noise, but has since transitioned into jazzier psych territory. It also experiments with post-hardcore that’s as emotive as Mewithoutyou, with much groovier rhythms than Jawbox.

Máscaras, comprised of three Portland music scene veterans (members of Sun Angle, Deer or the Doe, O Bruxo, Cat Hoch, Paper/Upper/Cuts, and literally dozens of others), is what happens when an off-the-cuff jam session between friends really, really works. Even in its recorded form, “it’s a jam with themes that live and breathe,” the band says, “leaving room for the unexpected.” The trio, comprised of Papi Fimbres (drums), Theo Craig (bass), and Carlos Segovia (guitar), plays heavy, propellant psychedelic music with surf-rock twang and mathy sensibilities. They call it “maximalist indigenous psych,” and while it’s not exactly the kind of music that one would normally identify with Portland—these are, after all, three brown dudes in the whitest city in America—they have become local favorites since their low-key formation in 2013, placing in the top 3 of Willamette Week’s prestigious annual Best New Band Poll.
Jo Passed is an emergent project by songwriter/vocalist/producer/multi-instrumentalist, Joseph Hirabayashi. Joseph formerly played in Vancouver based neo-psychedelic band Sprïng, which formed out of the disbanding of pronk experimental punk band, SSRIs. Jo Passed is always on tour, look for shows.

It's time to debate rent control in Portland!
In response to the housing crisis, the state legislature is considering lifting the statewide ban on rent control, and members of Portland's City Council are openly discussing what rent control might look like in our city. We need more public discussion of this important and controversial set of policies that will shape housing in the city and the state for decades to come.
XRAY.FM and the advocacy group Portland Forward are hosting a spirited debate between advocates on both sides of the issue: Economist Dr. Gerard Mildner of the PSU School of Business Administration and Margot Black, an organizer with Portland Tenants United. Jefferson Smith of XRAY in the Morning will be moderating the debate and the whole conversation will be recorded live for future airing on XRAY.FM and KXRW Vancouver.
Come participate in democracy!
This event is ALL AGES (alcohol will still be sold, don't worry)
Tickets are $7 (all fees included) and proceeds go to XRAY.FM
A percentage of Dig a Pony's proceeds ALL NIGHT will go to XRAY.FM's Spring Fund Drive.

Nina’s Starry Night is a night to have fun, dance, be with friends and raise money for an important cause. All proceeds from the night go directly to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, an organization whose mission is to find effective treatments and a cure for Fanconi anemia and to provide education and support services to affected families worldwide.
Nina’s Starry Night is organized in memory of Nina who died from complications of Fanconi anemia when she was three and a half. This year she would turn fourteen years old. We miss her dearly. But she has many friends who are still living with this disease, and Nina’s Starry Night is also for them. We raise money so that they can live longer, healthier lives, and so that one day there will be a cure.
