The label was founded by Steve Aoki in 1996, and is based out of Los Angeles. Some of the artists/DJs under the label <a href="http://records.dimmak.com/blog/bands/current-roster/">include</a>: Armand Van Helden, AutoErotique, Diplo, Felix Cartal, Laidback Luke, MSTRKRFT, Pase Rock, Steve Aoki, and The Bloody Beetroots, and the late DJ AM.<br />
<br />
In addition to the record label, DIM MAK's got their own <a href="http://collection.dimmak.com/blog/">collection</a>, and <a href="http://dimmak.com/tv/">DIM MAK TV </a>. The website's packed-full of great music videos, event posters, blogs, tour dates, and whatever else.<br />
<br />
This is one of the newer vids that's been released... The Bloody Beetroots are so hardcore, but they're frickin' awesome. I saw them in LA last year at <a href="http://www.hardfest.com/">Hard Fest</a>, and they just blew me away. I missed them when they were in Winnipeg in April (due to an IPP panel meeting at 8:15am the next day). To this day, I still regret not going to their show.<br />

Due to having braces for a year in my most crucial (first) year of high school, I don't need to get them pulled, so I have to let them grow in. I'm in agony, and for once, do not feel like talking.<br />

</div>My brothers (Evan and Jordan) came by my place before we "broke the fast" for Yom Kippur (even though we never fast). We got coffee at The Fyxx and took Boris out for a quick walk before heading over to our great-aunt's place for dinner.
