This week we have a very special guest all the way from California. Squachek, and luckily he made a mix just for RVA Magazine. We met Squachek in DC some time back, and we were really amazing by his fiery personality and love for the party. He has a hype personality, and love for music thats just contagious – in this mix you can get a feel for this from the very start.

Here is his message just for RVA:

There are towns where culture hits you in the face and towns where you have to dig for it. There are towns where creativity feels at home and towns where those with the least bit of it are making plans to leave. Between the haves and have nots, Richmond constantly straddles the fence. The town is full of historical baggage and political barriers but also a stubborn people who are striving — successfully — to nurture all things progressive from art to music to craft and commerce. RVA helps the diggers find what they’re looking for and the doers proud to call Richmond home.

Squachek Bio

The high-energy and light-hearted electro/techno/hip-hop performances by Los Angeles producer SQUACHEK stem from his teenage years in suburban Chicago, when he spent his days writing punk, metal and industrial tunes about bodily functions, Geraldo Rivera, and death by botulism-tainted pickles.

When he’s not crushing dance floors at parties, his DIRTYPUMPS club series, and festivals around the world, Squachek remixes and produces other artists and composes scores for animation, film and television. He can even be found on camera as his other nom de guerre: Johnny Orlando Jr., the West Coast correspondent for top metal blog Metal Injection.
