Jeff Bernat Interview @ Junxion Complex
10-09-14 / 03:52 PM
The team got together and sat down with Jeff Bernat with what we believe to be one of the most truly honest and organic interviews we've seen or had the pleasure to be apart. Going over footage, we had a great amount of laughs, all the while coming to the singular conclusion that Singer, Songwriter, and Producer Jeff Bernat is not only great at the craft he's been sharpening for years now, but that he is a courageous, empathetic, and creative individual! We have one moment in particular that captures all of these qualities when Jeff opens up in a way he never has for the first time on camera.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, & FOLLOW all the WATERHOLE KINGDOM has to offer.

Crate-carrying local DJ DUWOPRose The Vinylist keeps artform pure.
09-18-14 / 03:54 PM
When comparing Las Vegas' vinyl turntablist DUWOPRose, with other notable DJs spinning in the valley — she'll be the first to say it's a waste of time.
"You can't tell me what to play," she said. "If it will happen, it will happen naturally. I am doing me and I haven't looked at what they're doing."
Born Duwop Rose Francisco de Castro, her name reminiscent of her parent's love of doo-wop music of the '50s and '60s. Herself, DJing since 1999, huge milk-crates of old school vinyl hold DUWOPRose's standard as a turntablist.
"I wasn't one of those people that asks what's new, what's in, what do you want me to play," de Castro said. "It was more like, this is what I grew up on and it led me to good stuff."
Creating an acronym for her name meaning "Divine Universoul Warrior Overstanding Pain," she has managed to stick to only playing vinyl in the genres merging classic Hip Hop, classic soul/R&B, jazz and funk. This is rare as a Vegas DJ, in an era where digital download and many have forfeited their roots for notoriety and residency.
"I've played at clubs at Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Bellagio, Luxor and all that," de Castro said.
"In my opinion, the music has lost it's way. That's why I chose to play, what I play. If it's something I can't play around my nieces, then I can't play it anywhere else."
DUWOPRose's earliest memories of Hip Hop were the energy of "Rapper's Delight" and the voice of Kurtis Blow. Her parents kept American based music flowing through their household in the Philippines.
"My mom, she would record her voice and music for my pops," she said.
"We were in the Philippines and she would send my father music here in U.S. She would keep hitting record and pause. I would watch her and always wondering how you put music together and record it from the radio like she did. We stayed connected by sending each other these audio tapes."
This fascination with audio and recording through cassette tapes as a kid, is part of the reason when, the now 32-year-old DUWOPRose, has a gig she schleps around her milk-crates, proven a successful formula so far.
Besides reputation in the streets, she's opened for acts like Kool Herc, Nas, Ice T, Murs, KRS-One, Melle Mel, Dilated Peoples and members of the Wu-Tang Clan. She is also controlling boards in the recording studio more these days, mixing, mastering, like with reggae artist Gia Khaleel's up-and-coming project.
Her journey started as a chill soft-spoken b-girl with Hypnotik Tribe, who moved to Vegas in 1992. She still feels like that young girl who hung outside Vegas spots like Cooler Lounge, underage, bought records with lunch money and practiced spinning in her bedroom and friend's garages, too shy to let people hear.
"I always wanted to be a DJ, but it was something that was hard to grab on because you had to buy equipment you have to know the music," de Castro said.
"While I was dancing and still learning, it kind of just pulled me off the dance floor to the turn-tables. It just gravitated toward me."
DUWOPRose will be spinning tonight for her birthday at Kaba Curry for their weekly event 100 Below, 5115 Spring Mountain Road Suite 234 from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Tales of the Kicks: The 6 pairs I won't sell.
09-18-14 / 03:44 PM
Vegas Sneaker Head's Krys Fabriquier, has bartered, bought, and sold many pair of kicks in his day. The sneaker aficionado behind the recently opened sneaker thrift and consignment store Rare Fiend, located in Junxion Complex, 5115 Spring Mountain Rd., shared with LVStreetCulture the six pair in his extensive collection, that he could never part with. Every pair has a story, and value, Fabriquier reveals his in the first edition of "Tales of the Kicks: The Six Pair I Won't Sell."
1999 Air Jordan Original Black Toe XIV: The Air Jordan XIV was my very first pair of kicks growing up a child. I graduated Kindergarten in them and anticipating next Saturday's reissue!
1997 Nike Air Total Max Uptempo: My freshman year of high school (2007), I was also into the Nike SB phase and did not appreciate Nike basketball shoes. I didn't have much, but my father handed these down to me, his old shoes for me to wear to P.E.
Nike Sole Collector Vegas Dunk High: I actually "un-ds'd" (broke in) this pair for my 20th birthday last year, but due to family emergencies, I had to sell them. With the help of good people, I came across another pair, beat, but still lucky enough to own a pair. This shoe also is a best of both worlds being that I lurked the Sole Collector forums since 2007 for them and them being a Las Vegas collaboration.
Nike Air Classic SB "MC Hammer": These were my very first pair of Nike SBs. In 2006, I was introduced to the conceptual ideas that Nike SB does. The MC Hammer being one of them, is 1/4 of the sneaker collection in the "Fallen Heroes pack," which consists of: MC Hammer, Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, and Pee Wee Herman.
Nike Year Of The Dragon Supreme Air Force 1: I was actually given a pair of these for free for helping a buddy of mine with his garage sale. Due to the same family emergency as above, I had to sell them. Now, with the help of who is now a great friend, hooked me up with these gems for only $1 brand new.
Nike Air Max CB34: Growing up with my mom's side of the family, I was often compared to my older cousin Mike. There weren't many boys on my mom's side of the family, but most of them were heavily into sneakers, with Mike being one of them. Before he passed away, I remember the traditional Dim Sum family dinner back in Westlake, CA. I remember Mike had broke those joints out and remember how dope they were.
