ABOUT THE DJ'S....
SLOE POKE has been deejaying since 1993, and is currently a Resident selectah for weekly L.A. hotspots: The Root Down, Resident Fridays and Sonido, plus the monthly salsa spot, Descarga. He’s a turntablist and an avid vinyl record collector.
He’s known for seamlessly blending classic 80’s and 90’s hip hop, with funky 45’s and soulful tracks, to those contagious Latin rhythms. He’s that cat that serves up fave 90’s hip hop, those rare 70’s salsa jams, that Colombian cumbia mix, movin’ merrengue, that bumpin’ reggaeton and the classic roots-reggae hits…all before you even realize you’ve been around the globe in a couple hours!
MANDO FEVER brings in the soulful and eclectic sounds of house to the party. From obscure Brazilian beats, to soulful house tracks, he always keeps the crowd pumped with his up-tempo mixes.
GOMEZCOMESALIVE! hasn’t been spinning all that long, but has been trying to make up for lost time. He started Deejayng for a promotional stint for his band in Japan, which consisted of Salsa, Cumbia, obscure 70’s Chicano funk, plus select tracks from East L.A.’s current crop of underground bands.
A musician by trade, he has played with L.A. favorites such as Beck; he was the brainchild behind hip hop, cumbia, funk-masters Slowrider; and most recently is the Bandleader for the local funk and groove band, Monte Carlo 76.
As a Latin Music Buyer for Amoeba Records in Hollywood, GomezComesAlive! decides what Latin music get on the shelves—which is a great gig for a crate digger!

Yeah, yeah... we know few people actually graduate in July and we're kind of late to make this the June issue, but we've got good reasons for the delay! Our editor-in-chief and one of our staff members, Jake and Esbeydy, were busy getting married. Yes, Puro Pedo Magazine staff members are romantics at heart, sorta.
Anyway, this issue is about congratulating the class of 2007, whether you earned a BA/BS or just finished 8th grade. ¡Felicidades!
In this issue: - Graduation speech inspired by Chicano cult classic film - The Institute for the Frida Kahlo Obsessed - Dodgers officially change name to “Los Doyers” - California education board unveiles Ese-T’s - Local militia protects Echo Park from hipsters - 20 signs your barrio’s been gentrified - Hillybilly misinterprets constitutional right to bear arms - Cavaliers blame God for NBA championship loss - Faces in the crowd: What did you do on May 1st, 2007 - Comic by Lalo Alcaraz
The issue is ready for download, but we still need to distribute it around LA. We'll post locations of sites where you can pick it up soon, so check the blog for information.
