Frontside

In the spotlight of L.A., you can’t cut it as a DJ if you can’t play everything. As a native of the city, Jonathan Nguyen, known by his moniker Frontside, is a specialist of hard-earned versatility. With years of experience, Frontside brings to every set his real, rooted sense of the diversity of LA scenes. He’s been featured at the legendary Low End Theory, holds a current residency at the ultra elite Soho Houses, keeps a pulse on the underground sound while constantly popping up at a string of hot spots around the city. Whatever the genre, crowd, or mood, Frontside is unassailable.

This taste is the backbone of his popular SoundCloud mixes, including his Mixtapes for Girls series. Each volume is themed after different muses he finds inspiring and showcasing his flair for vision and concept. Mixtapes are tailored, specific and personal; it’s this ethos that drives his work, and why his taste has become his foundation.
