Lovers of hip hop, Latin club, and... emo? Join us and the Text Me Records family at El Rio for WC05 this Saturday!
Tia Nomore, La Favi, Jammy, and Ricky Lake bring the Text Me power to El Rio this Saturday, July 13 - with Drew Banga and Louie Elser on the decks
A continuation of our event series curated by Bay Area artists and collectives, WC05 takes place this Saturday, July 13th on the sunny back patio at El Rio.
Text Me Records, the curator for this event, was formed as a writing and production team with a dozen or so talented musicians, producers, and songwriters lending to an eclectic mix of style. The WC05 lineup features several highlights from the Text Me roster, two dope DJs, and one exciting guest.

WHITE CRATE & WC05 FEATURED IN KQED
Thank you Emma Silvers and KQED for taking the time to tell the story of White Crate, which is really just part of a bigger story—the new Bay Area music renaissance. Huge love to everyone who has inspired us to keep this project going, and to everyone who has been building community here long before us—the curators, the venues, the publications, the labels, the promoters, and, of course, the artists.
