A look behind the scenes! Here you see Josh Hubball (VP of BD for Conduit Labs), Michael Dutcher (general manager of Dim Mak) and Nabeel Hyatt (founder / CEO of Conduit). They’re in the offices for Dim Mak. But you could probably guess that by looking at that DJ stand, covered in their distinctive logo. (I like how the low ceiling makes Josh look like a giant. Dude is tall, but he’s not Kobe.)

In preparation for Loudcrowd’s release — you know, beyond beta — Josh and Nabeel traveled to L.A. and San Francisco last week to hang with various music industry/ gaming/ web 2.0 bigwigs. Nabeel writes: “We had a great conversation with Dim Mak about lots of things we can do together, and left fully loaded with T-shirts and CDs.”

What does this mean for you, aside from a reason to be jealous of some people you probably don’t know? It just means there will be a wealth of awesome music for the game from the get-go. And that things will only get awesomer for Loudcrowd from then on. Just you wait! So, now that you know this, you can rest and enjoy the remainder of your President’s Day… Like, you can see what’s on TV during the daytime. Or, that IKEA sale looks pretty awesome! Me? I’m going back to bed.
