The DJs
The turntables, the radio waves, the cuts
The Baka Boyz
Brothers Nick & Eric Vidal. Their Power 106 mixshow was the West Coast's biggest radio launchpad for unsigned LA talent through the '90s.
DJ Crazy Toones
WC's DJ and Coolio's little brother. A pure-LA cut master whose CT Experience mixtapes are West Coast canon. R.I.P. 2017.
DJ Muggs
Cypress Hill's producer and the Soul Assassins general — the murkiest, most stoned sound in '90s hip-hop, built in an LA basement.
DJ Yella
N.W.A's DJ and Dr. Dre's first production partner, from the World Class Wreckin' Cru onward. Cut Saturday-night mixes on KDAY in '84.
DJ Battlecat
Kevin Gilliam — the keyboard-and-turntable force behind Snoop, Kurupt, Tha Dogg Pound and Xzibit. Kept talkbox G-funk alive past its era.
Warren G
Long Beach's 213 co-founder. "Regulate" and Regulate…G Funk Era made him the sound's biggest solo hitmaker in 1994.
Julio G
One of Greg Mack's teenage KDAY Mixmasters (1986), Cypress Hill's tour DJ, and co-host of Ruthless Radio with Eazy-E.
Tony G
KDAY Mixmaster turned producer who launched Latin rap — he made Kid Frost's "La Raza" and Mellow Man Ace's "Mentirosa."
Joe Cooley
Legendary battle DJ and half of Rodney O & Joe Cooley ("Everlasting Bass"). A KDAY Mixmaster and one of the West's most respected turntablists.
M. Walk
One of the original 1580 KDAY Mixmasters under Greg Mack, cutting the Saturday Night Mix Show that first put rap on LA radio.
DJ Bobcat
The KDAY Mixmaster who coined the name "Mix Masters" — and went on to co-produce LL Cool J's Grammy-winning "Mama Said Knock You Out."
