Windish Agency

The newly reborn bi-weekly L.A. dance party Check Yo Ponytail 2 will return July 30 with a performance by Nite Jewel. In honor of the occasion, the multimedia artist and Ariel Pink associate has compiled a mixtape titled 'Lover for the Weekend' that spans a large chunk of the electronic music spectrum and is sure to get party-goers in the mood.

"CYP's main function is to introduce new artists or shine a spotlight on cool things that are happening musically," one of the party's creators, Franki Chan, tells Spinner. "We like to be able to provide people with a wealth of information on each artist and the show as a whole. Adding to the experience are these mixtapes and our videos that give people something they can 'take home' with them and/or experience the show whether they live in L.A. of not."

Speaking of the mix Nite Jewel says, "This mix is a collection of above and underground favorites that have had some influence on me either recently or in the past." The 2.0 version of CYP will be held Saturday, July 30, at the Echoplex.
