ZEBRA KATZ - DARKLING

Our friend Zebra Katz dropped this mixtape I’m currently drowning out Daft Punk with at a cafe. Last we were in LA, me and Tonia visited him and Njena at their IHC show. They mentioned meeting Busta while in town, and now we get to see the fruits of that epic fusion of OG and Ojay. The production is dark, bassy and I feel it brings Katz back to the forefront of our twisted mental fantasies that ‘Ima Read’ stirred up. Shoutouts on the soundcloud page include L-Vis 1990 of Night Slugs fame. This mix is hot and brings Katz relevancy back to the US after some heavy euro/world touring. COME BACK TO SF, Browntourage is now producing events, will we see him??

Shout out to Justin Loans for having us design the cover for his new EP How to Fake it in America.

Loans is a member of Oakland’s favorite party crew Trill Team 6 who have always shown us support and love (aka our bro-tourage). Loans’ flows match his literal swag: mature but baby-faced. Press play and enjoy slick production from Jay Casio, feature from Safe, Chicago nostalgia, pocket problems, big dreams. Fam love!

p.s. We’re curating some female collabs with him because you know we can’t help but infiltrate ;)

Mexico

The trek through parts of Asia was beautiful and turbulent, so I had to take a vacation from my vacation to Tulum, Mexico. The region is catered more toward the hippy tourist than Cancun tropical party tourist. While here, I got to ride bikes through town, sleep in hammocks, worry only about getting a sunburn, swim in a bat cave with sea creatures, meet a kitten named Pantro and his dad Saeed, practice my spanish, eat the best Mayan cuisine on the outskirts of town near a home depot/topless bar/freeway exit, and teach a Twerkshop on the roof of a beach front villa to a post-wedding party of non-twerkers. The twerkshop was an attempt to psychically connect with Tonia, and I also somehow became a teacher throughout the evening on “loosening the pelvic cradle.” My travels are now at an end and I’m back in SF ready to root again and build up on all the amazing stuff that’s been happening for Browntourage. Footage from travels will be released as an avant-garde visual something-or-other so stay tuned!
