Something Dope X NoName Studios Pass The Aux
About this Event
Some rooms just hold gear. This one holds records you already know by heart.
In 1987 the building was Can-Am Recorders, and Guns N' Roses made Appetite for Destruction inside it. Five years later Death Row moved in and made it home base. The Chronic came out of these rooms in 1992. Doggystyle followed in 1993, at the height of the run. All Eyez on Me landed in 1996, one of the biggest rap albums ever pressed, tracked in the same walls.
Today it is [noname] Studios, owned by MixedByAli, the engineer behind Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Dr. Dre's SSL 4000 G+ console is still inside. The building kept its history and got a new one.
On Saturday, August 29, Something Dope brings Pass The Aux into that building for the first time.
Here is how the day runs. From 2 to 3 you play your music in the studios themselves, on the same monitors those albums were mixed on. From 3 to 5 the King of the Aux competition takes over: artists go song for song, the room decides who moved it most, and one person leaves with the crown. From 6 to 8, Industry Hours puts you in front of people who work in this business every day, playing records and taking real feedback on them.
That is the whole idea. Play music. Get feedback. Network. No gatekeeping, no showcase fee, no waiting to be discovered from a distance. You bring a record, you play it in a legendary room, and you find out what it does to a crowd of people who make music too.
Something Dope has run more than 300 of these nights since 2019, in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Chicago, London and Palermo. Artists have flown in from nine thousand miles away and waited twenty hours in line for a spot on stage. This one is in Tarzana, it is eighteen and up, and tickets are online only.
The room already made history. August 29 is your turn in it.
