Here's DJ Cut Chemist Playing an LA Mixtape in the Neighborhoods That Inspired It

KCET's new site Artbound has spawned an awesome new series called Hear and Now, in which they "put Southern California musicians in the locations that inspired a song, and document a performance of the song, in that place." First up is a mixtape from DJ Cut Chemist (with a video filmed in just one day) that runs from Downtown to MacArthur Park to Little Ethiopia to the Pacific.

Here's the setlist:
Downtown: "California Soul" by Marlena Shaw
MacArthur Park: Cumbia music
Little Ethiopia: "Emente" by Girma Beyene and Mulatu Astatke
Venice: "Outro" by Cut Chemist
Santa Monica: "Stranger on the Shore" by Mister Acker Bilk

Over at Artbound, Cut Chemist explains his choices.
