Getting to know DJ Nigga Fox
In 2014, I was working as a journalist for an Angolan magazine, and a couple of years later, I was hired as communication manager and producer for an agency. During this time, I met with several personalities and artists, and along the way I learned a lot about the African Portuguese speaking countries, especially their culture.

Flip, Reverse It: The Power of the Remix
As the eponymous and everlasting Missy Misdeameanor Elliott once said: "Put my thang down, flip it and reverse it," and then something that always sounded like: "It's your-thingy-fema-thang-wip, it's your-thingy-fema-thang-wep," and we all went, "Yeah, ok," because it was very cool, and we sang it in a kind of I-Don't-Know-What-I'm-Saying-But-This-Is-On-At-The-Club-So-Lets-Get-It kind of way.

Why Lo-Fi Music Is So Popular
I'm sure when you open up YouTube's homepage, you see a little red "live" marker and an anime thumbnail. Often labeled as "chill beats to study to" or something of that effect. Lo-fi hip-hop instrumentals and other chill-beat styles of music have been all over the place. These playlists and compilations have millions of regular listeners and the artists are becoming just as popular. Heck, the YouTube channel, ChilledCow only posts other people’s music (they haven’t produced any original content) and have over 2 million subscribers as of January 2019. So why are lo-fi/chill-beat tracks so present in the current pop culture?

How House Music Changed My Life
Towards the beginning of my senior year of my undergraduate studies, I began to experience major anxiety. I often found myself consistently comparing myself to others, lacking confidence, and never truly enjoying moments I know I should be enjoying. I was always hesitant to talk to someone about my anxiety, in fear of being judged, or that my peers would think I could not handle tough situations. On one weekday, my close friends invited me to go to a house music club in Huntington Beach. At this time, all I knew about house music was that it was a form of electronic dance music. What I didn't know is how spiritual, uplifting, and life changing house music turned out to be for me. I am here to tell you what house music means to me..
