*The most wonderful time of the year: LA CityBeat's annual e-music issue is out (and up) today. Inside: I take a look at 10 years of Om Records, and I report on the increasing trend of DJ collaborations (including Sandra Collins vs. Vello Virkhaus, DJs Are Alive! and lostep); Natalie Nichols gets in touch with her inner raver; Los Angeles Times hip-hop contributor Soren Baker tips his hat to L.A.'s greatest hip-hop DJs; Richard Foss checks out Bombay Dub Orchestra; Ron Garmon previews the Orb gig at the Walt Disney Concert Hall (under the awesome headline, "It's an Ultraworld, After All"); Ryder Palmere looks into the hall's "Minimalist Jukebox" series; Timothy Walton reviews Bitter:Sweet live; *[Not Scott Gandell, but] Deputy Editor Dean Kuipers talks to ?uestlove; Laila Kearney savors 15 years of URB; and Spundae's fifth anniversary in Hollywood leads off my weekly dance club recommendations for the Los Angeles area.
