Music
¡Descarga! is a monthly Afro-Latin music gathering for the people. This event is an alternative to the commercial salsa nights that have dominated the LA scene for years and pays homage to the African-Latino connection, through classic and urban world beats.
When the alternative salsa night began five years ago with DJ’s Dusk, Sloe Poke and Loslito, ¡Descarga! was about digging in the crates for the rarest salsa cuts and the funkiest Latin 60’s and 70’s sounds, in a club that would cater to L.A.‘s indie underground music scene. Today, the venue has changed, but the spirit of the night is still beating strong.
Resident DJs Sloe Poke, Mando, Bobby Soul, Loslito and Mexican Dubwiser spin classic salsa, cumbia, merengue, Latin hip hop, reggaeton, mashups, Brazilian and deep house grooves. With live bands gracing the stage at midnight at nearly every show, it has become the taste-making New York to L.A. soiree, running over 5 years strong.
The event is produced by Jennifer Cuevas and Loslito, in loving memory of DJ Dusk.

¡DESCARGA!IN LOVING MEMORY OF LEGENDARY DJ DUSK!
DJ DUSK: DJ, Emcee, Producer, Educator, Activist, Promoter y mucho más...always in spirit with us!
_________________________________________________________
ABOUT THE DJS IN THE MIX EVERY MONTH....
Loslito is one of the Founder’s of Descarga, a monthly underground salsa night that he created alongside DJ’s Sloe Poke and legendary DJ DUSK* in 2002. An avid collector of classic 70’s salsa records, Loslito, spins Fania classics and serves up some salsa rarities for the crowd. He also accredited for Co-Founding the legendary underground hip-hop night, The Root Down (Little Temple) and the monthly soul-funk night, “Bounce, Rock, Skate”. In addition, he’s the brainchild behind L.A.-based soul band, The Rebirth.
Sloe Poke is an all-around, party rockin' DJ and is one of the Founders of this east side underground salsa night. At Descarga, he's known for dropping the classic salsa sounds, some contagious Colombian cumbias, roots-reggae, reggaeton, merengue and the classic 80s Latin freestyle hits. He's also the Co-Founder of Sonido Sundays and spins all over Southern Cali weekly.
Bobby Soul is Mr. Boogaloo! He’ll drop those rare salsa cuts, some cool cumbias and that classic boogaloo that will get ya’ll dancin’! Rare Latin soul and funk cuts are his specialty. He’s the voice behind O.C. based-band, Soul Hustlers, performs in a the salsa group Boogaloo Assassins and is responsible for bringing some of the region’s best groups to his Tuesday-night-spot “Behind the Orange Curtain” at Fullerton’s Continental Room.
Mando holds it down with his funky Brazilian, Latin and soulful house mixes. He's one of L.A.'s best-kept secrets...but not for long!
Check out his new online radio show "A Deeper Soul" on BigShowRadioLA.com.
Mexican Dubwiser hails from Monterrey, Mexico and is the cumbia mashup extraordinaire. His all-digital, live mixes coalesce American hip hop and rock with Latin American cumbias that keep the crowd pumped. He is also the Co-Producer of two popular late-night parties, "Chicle" and "Dubwise Sessions".
Who I'd like to meet:
The ¡Descarga! collective would like to thank- from the bottom of our corazoncitos- all the amazing Musicians, Painters and Poets who have shared their artistry with our community of consciousness...
You are truly our inspiration!
