Beestings & Nosebleeds is a popular summer event series from dubFrequency that takes place at the rooftop of The Standard Downtown LA every three Saturdays. So far this summer’s performers/DJ’s include Wale, Junior Sanchez, Rob Roy, Hollywood Holt, Hey Champ and Mike B. among others; showcase of a wide range of musical genres next to a pool and free jello shots. As we hit the half-way mark of the summer, dubFrequency resident DJ Nicky Savage has put together a killer 45 minute mix that best represents the sound of Beestings & Nosebleeds. Hosted by Rob Roy.
