Our homie DJ Thee Mike B – who we have an upcoming mixtape release with(!) – played at Hard Summer this year and took some disposable cameras along with him for our DISPOSED series. See what he wrote and shot below:
Hard Summer is always fun. This year I was invited to play on Day 1 of the massive LA festival, as Brillstein, my new House alter-ego for Jesse Rose’s Play It Down label. I was dumb excited to play on the main stage and do one of the first ever Brillstein DJ sets for such a big audience. Sharing that very stage with A$AP Mob, Diplo, and Skrillex and countless others.
I rolled in crew deep with Regina (my right-hand), her husband, and my good friend Nate Day, my super homie Theo Barks and of course Tony and Malika, who I try to always have with me everywhere I go.
The Hundreds gave us 3 disposable cameras, which all changed hands throughout the day. Here’s a few choice moments that were captured.

Tony took 1 of the cameras with him while he went on an adventure to find Malika. He found the non-artist entrance to be much more hectic.
Tony took this picture. She look tall.
Vaughn aka U-Tern... 1 half of Oliver, poked his head into thee ole trailer.
The Brillstein trailer was crunk-tite. Pictured here from right to left: Regina, Oli G (Oliver), Vaughn (Oliver), myself, Guru Singh, Sabo, and Nate.
