Since 2008, Los Angeles collective Freak City<\/a> have stood at the forefront of the city’s neon-lit alternative arts and music scene. From its current location in a hollowed-out ex department store on Hollywood Boulevard on Friday, the troupe hosted HI-FA$HION BA$$, an evening of live music, film and fashion from the likes of flamboyant musical duo Hi-Fashion, rising LA producer Napolian, M.Y.O.B\u2019s own pop-up store, and the latest collection-wear from designers LA Rap. Cited as a favourite subterranean spot by Diplo and MIA, Freak City\u2019s graffiti covered walls have previously housed performances from the likes of Arabian Prince and Peaches, and is a place where everything from neon palm trees to half-naked mannequins and pop memorabilia can exist alongside those lucky enough to be there to enjoy, play, party and be inspired by it all. After the Malibu-drenched excesses if the weekend, we chatted to Freak City’s founder Justin Time – AKA OldYoung.<\/p>\n
