This week in The Armory we welcome our good pal, Loomer, of the Cruz Coalition out of Los Angeles to the 1s and 2s.

Mr Loomer's Bio:
Not too long ago, The Loomer began direct pursuit of his true passion – music as a force for positive change. Loomer produces and performs breakbeats and dirty electro with intricate melodies, abstract vocal phrasing, and phat, dusty bass to activate body and mind.

With a growing list of LA residencies -- Area 33, Zanzibar, Custom Hotel, House of Blues Foundation Room –- DJ Loomer’s sound is characterized by lots of changes, layers upon layers of broken beats and provocative lyrical snippets that narrate a labyrinthine musical journey across time and space. Remix tracks are available on Teknical Funk and illeven:eleven recordings and an original LP is on the way.

The Loomer can be found rocking dance floors from Coachella to Electric Daisy Carnival, from Lightning in a Bottle to Burning Man. In addition to performing at events and festivals in the US and abroad, Loomer (aka David Loomstein) produces live events with partner Art Cruz and the Southern California-based Cruz Coalition.

This week in The Armory DJ Influence of San Francisco’s Strategik collective is on the decks dropping one of his signature dark and dirty breaks sets. Press play and enjoy!

Influence started his piratical career in a time called Ye Olden School. Quickly rising through the ranks of deck swabbing, plank laying, wenching, & rumming; his golden years came to end upon the capture of his ship by a band of jolly rogers on the ship Strategik (they were good with a cannon, but not so much with spelling). Locked away in the ship's depths, every night he was told, "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." All seemed lost, so he got into Djing, took over the ship, called himself Influence, and the rest was basically, history... basically.
