Boombox 13th Annual: Native Tongues Appreciation Night LA
2026-01-03 21:30 - 2026-01-04 02:00 (Africa/Abidjan) | Grand Star Jazz Club | Los Angeles, 943 N Broadway, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
BOOMBOX is back kicking off 2026 with our 13TH ANNUAL NATIVE TONGUES APPRECIATION NIGHT featuring J.PERIOD + PLATURN!

BOOMBOX returns [SAT.1/3] to kick off the new year with our 13th Annual Native Tongues Appreciation Night!! We’ve found that there’s no better way to start the year a night chock-full of classics, rarities, remixes, samples, & more from A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep, and the rest of the Native Tongues crew!

Joining us this year is none other than certified mixtape legend J.PERIOD! Originally from Los Angeles, he moved to Brooklyn in 1999 and quickly made a name for himself on the iconic New York mixtape circuit. His unique “audio-biography” approach to his “Best of” mixtapes blends both interviews and music to create a signature sound that bridges the gap between storytelling and DJing. He’s officially collaborated with a laundry list of music luminaries including Q-Tip, Nas, The Roots, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Common, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, & more! These historic collabs not only secured him the gig of Black Thought’s official tour DJ, they also catapulted him on to stages like The Roots Picnic and The Kennedy Center where he brought his aptly-titled stage show, “The Live Mixtape” to life…bringing out legendary artists to perform individual songs while mixing the entire show live! With his knack for storytelling, arsenal of exclusives, and diehard love for the Native Tongues, we couldn’t be more hyped to welcome J for an exclusive Natives set and rare Los Angeles homecoming!

Back like he never left, you know we couldn’t throw a Native Tongues night without our brother PLATURN! The Bay Area legend and Native Tongues historian brought the idea to us in 2013 as a release party for his “So This Is De La Heaven Part 2” mixtape. A mixtape that Maseo from De La Soul described as, “Out of all the De La mixes I’ve heard this is the most creative one!” We’re alway honored to have the funky viking back on our turntables for another Natives journey!

These nights are always a THE MOST fun. The best people, the best vibes, and 100% Native Tongues business ALL NIGHT! Secure DISCOUNT PRESALE TICKETS now. Do not sleep, Los Angeles!

Since September 2nd, 2006, Boombox has provided a home for Los Angeles hip hop lovers to gather every first Saturday of the month and celebrate the genre’s most respected DJs and producers. Celebrating their 15-year anniversary in 2021, they’ve gained a faithful following of music aficionados who all share one common trait: the love of hip hop culture.

Residents Inka One, Ben Diggin, and Mantron have created a signature sound and energy that is authentic, inclusive, and fiercely committed to promoting the culture and artistry of hip hop. For the past 18 years, Boombox has given Los Angeles a home for hip hop connoisseurs who understand the importance of the DJ. Since its inception, their mission has remained pure: to provide an honest hip hop/DJ-centric night that caters to the working-class crowd. No frills, no shiny aesthetics; just the music and DJ skills speaking for themselves.

Boombox has made an indelible impact on Los Angeles’ rich music culture and has helped introduce audiences to some of Los Angeles’ finest, such as Flying Lotus and Blu, while simultaneously giving Angelinos an opportunity to catch hip hop legends like Pete Rock, DJ Quik, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, 9th Wonder, Marley Marl, Stretch & Bobbito, Mix Master Mike, & countless others. Boombox is a destination for the world’s best hip hop DJs to come play the music they love; it’s as simple as that.

In a time fraught with division, Boombox stands tall as a Los Angeles staple where old friends unite, where new ones are made, and where all are welcomed and invited to experience a special night where the hip hop DJ shines.

ILLiEN ROSEWELL Presents: THE COOKUP — PASS THE AUX x SESSION-IN
January 11, 2026 | Los Angeles, CA | 2PM–10PM
Join us for a landmark West Coast edition of The CookUp: Pass The Aux, curated by visionary producer Illien Rosewell, and now joining creative forces with Session-In LA for a cultural sound experience unlike anything else.
This special installment brings the raw, producer-driven heart of The CookUp into the refined, art-centered atmosphere of Session-In — creating a synergy where space, sound, and community collide. The result: a room where the architecture of the venue meets the architecture of boom bap.

The CookUp builds bridges: between regions, cultures, producers, and fans. Its collaboration with Session-In is designed to elevate the LA arts scene through a non-performative listening experience, spotlighting beat makers, underground talent, and nationally recognized producers in an intimate but powerful setting.
Whether you’re a producer, music lover, creative, or culture-builder — this night is for you.
Tap in. Bring your sound. Build with the community.
