Timeless LA Turns 15: A Quick Conversation with Dip Vertigo

“Timeless was born out of the next generation of the illustrious, legendary, History making, Grapevinez crew, led by the general, MCMC. We were all artists and promoters for the powerhouse promotion company helping to throw some of the biggest DNB events in all of America. As MCMC moved towards retirement, and simply couldn’t put in what he had before, the OG co-founder of Timeless, Solomon Baldeo aka Neuropunk and I had always talked about curating our own lineups together and throwing a show. In 2007 we got our opportunity and threw the 2 nd to last Grapevinez event ever, called Rize, and it was a complete success. The fulfillment from that event lit a fire in us, and we knew we had to start our own thing. Thus, Timeless was born and the “Each One, Teach One” motto of Grapevinez continued. The two of us would go on as partners keeping Timeless a monthly for 10 straight years at multiple venues while also throwing our massive LA Beatdown events at The Music Box in Hollywood. 2013 saw PJ Yates, Mr. 8:40 himself come in at just the right time. Solo and I didn’t know if we wanted to do it anymore, but he lit that spark again which led to our insane run at The Medusa Lounge. Now, in 2022, we have two new event brands: Our park party, Rays & Vibes, and our day party, Rise n Shine, which have continued to fuel us and give us the momentum we need to bring a headliner like Degs and throw a proper Timeless. It’s taken us a while to find a bar that would be a fit for Timeless and with the
success of Rise n Shine, we’re being given an opportunity to really pack the place in and show what we can do. We love our new home, The Offbeat, and see ourselves continuing to do big things there on the regular but know that it can only hold us for so long. So, the search continues for an even bigger venue to take Timeless, in the words of MCMC, “up another level!”
