Send us a text

When passion meets community spirit, magic happens. That's the story behind "Beats Over the City," the rooftop event that transformed downtown Bakersfield into a celebration of music, art, and connection. Gordy B and Queen B take us through the behind-the-scenes journey of putting together this ambitious gathering that brought together DJs, vendors, families, and music lovers for an unforgettable day.

"It was a lot of work. It was a lot of stress," Gordy admits, but the overwhelming support from the community made it all worthwhile. From unexpected police visits before the event even began to last-minute venue confusion, the team navigated challenges with grace while keeping their focus on creating something special for Bakersfield. Dos Muchos adds valuable perspective, acknowledging the courage it takes to put your name on an event and seeing it through despite obstacles.

The conversation shifts seamlessly into the world of DJ battles, with Dos sharing captivating stories from his own competitive experiences. His emotional recounting of winning a battle through improvisation when the format suddenly changed reveals the passion beneath the turntables. "I left a piece of my soul out there on that stage," he shares, offering listeners a glimpse into the vulnerability behind the confident DJ persona.

We also get updates on Queen B's flourishing balloon business, Busy Bee Creations, as she prepares for a significant quinceañera featuring creative balloon installations and special "balloon detonators." The episode wraps with plans for the next Beats Over the City event and weekend gigs at local hotspots. Whether you're a DJ, event planner, or simply someone who appreciates community gatherings with heart, this conversation captures the spirit of local culture-building at its most authentic.
