Snapback’s favorite moments of 2018

Snapback Live
Sep 7, 2018 · 3 min read

As old-school hip hop’s resurgence continues, so does Snapback’s growth. We’re proud to be one of the pioneers of this revival and we know we’re just getting started.

2018 has been a banner year for us as we’ve expanded Snapback parties beyond our native LA to neighborhoods all over SoCal and even into Vegas.

This year has been all about building our staying power through not only creating feel-good, nostalgic events, but also by continuing to immerse ourselves in the culture that gave birth to the music we love so much.

Here are some of our favorite milestones from the past year.

More cities, more parties

This year, we brought Snapback to Orange County and Las Vegas. As our resident DJs plant seeds there and switch up the scene, we look forward to you spreading the word so more people can join the party.

Z-Trip makes waves at Snapback OC

We still can’t believe we snagged Z-Trip for our June OC launch. Working with him meant working with one of our biggest influences. Z-Trip paved the way for live-performance DJing and was one of the first major DJs to do Coachella. Z-Trip still slays fans with his signature style and ability to read the crowd, which is exactly what he did at Snapback OC’s debut in June.

Shortkut killed it at his SoCal appearances

We were lucky to have DJ Shortkut for shows in Long Beach and OC this year. One of the major influencers of the party rock scene and DJ culture, this Bay Area DJ brings down the house every time he takes the stage.

Snapback Chronicles keeps getting better

Our interview show, Snapback Chronicles, continued to grow this year, both in its production quality and in the caliber of guests that joined us. During 2018, we interviewed DJ Shortkut and Z-Trip, as well as many more veteran and emerging DJs.

Snapback Radio is headed for 100 shows

Thanks to our loyal listeners, Snapback Radio has broadcast more than 75 shows and will hit number 100 in early 2019. Stay tuned for our special 100th show celebration — it’s going to be huge. And shout-out to all the guests who’ve joined us this year! Next year, we have big plans to expand Snapback Radio and syndicate it overseas.

Clothing & merch release

Get your new Snapback Live gear now before it’s gone. Our designers recently launched six new shirts that you can rock at the next Snapback event or out and about to spread the word.

We’ve got to say thanks to everyone who joined us at a Snapback party this year or supported our team in any way. We couldn’t be more proud of how our world-class DJs are introducing a whole new generation to this music and movement.

2019 will be here before you know it. Don’t miss a minute of the action — get your tickets and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see what we’re up to.
