Our DJs: Beat Junkies Institute of Sound Takeover
6 and 6:30 pm: Beat Junkie Institute of Sound’s very own DJ Izloh and DJ Wolfpup have been training since they were just in elementary school. Now, part of their own group called the Tiny Humanz Krew (dubbed by OG Beat Junkie DJ Babu) along with their classmates, they have DJ’d for museums, festivals, sporting events, and so much more––all before graduating high school! The possibilities are endless as they are both young highly-skilled DJs!
7 pm: RAMSKILLIT is a DJ based between LA and the Inland Empire, known for delivering nostalgic and technically sharp sets that create real connection. Rooted in funk, soul, hip-hop, house, and breaks, his selection runs deep—always reaching for those under-the-radar gems and timeless cuts. RAMSKILLIT bridges the best of analog and digital with intention and style. You’ll catch him playing everything from HiFi listening bars, community events, to livestreams and DJ battles—always bringing his full heart to the decks. When he’s not on stage, you’ll find him crate digging or working out new routines, constantly pushing his craft while staying grounded in love for the music.
8pm: DJ Deadloop, a Bell Gardens native, began his journey in music at just 12 years old. After earning his college degree, he sharpened his craft at the renowned Beat Junkie Institute of Sound, where he refined both his technical and performance skills behind the turntables. Now 28, DJ Deadloop has brought his sound to major stages including Dodger Stadium, the LA Zoo, the Greek Theatre, the LA Marathon, the Rock and Roll Marathon, and events across the country. In addition to DJing, he is also a seasoned audio engineer, with over 15 years of hands-on experience in sound design, mixing, and live production-matching his years in the DJ game.
