Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
For years, Take Two regular Oliver Wang, has been researching his new book 'Legions of Boom: Filipino American Mobile DJ Crews in the San Francisco Bay Area.' The influence of these DJ crews on popular music shouldn't be understated, even though most of them were only in high school when they were dropping beats and crossfading their favorite albums.
Oliver joins A Martinez for a discussion about the influence of these groups, why they were largely Filipino and how they churned out some well known musicians, including Mixmaster Mike.
