Today Dataset Clothing brings you an Exclusive Mix by San Diego based, Puppy Kicker an essential component of the Brokenbeat family and one of the most technical producers I've met, Justin has strength in both, production and mixing, very rarely he will play out his own tunes, which are incredibly musical, for a genre that sometimes can get a bit mechanical sounding. His recent EP "Colors and Memories" out on Rogue Dubs is a personal favorite and testament of his amazing production skills.

Favorite food joint: I recently discover a spot called "Slaters 50 50" that is amazing. Their burger patties are made from 50% sirloin 50% bacon. Need I say more? Probably not, but I'll also say they have over 100 craft beers on tap. DANG!
