IHEARTCOMIX with Franki Chan

On episode 8 of Date with the Night, I’m joined by the legendary
promoter, DJ, and founder of IHEARTCOMIX, Franki Chan. Franki
gives an incredible, historic overview of the music and party
scene in LA during the 2000s, outlining some of the great parties
that he started alongside people like Steve Aoki, The Cobrasnake,
and Har Mar Superstar. Franki also discusses the infamous turf
war between Dim Mak Tuesdays at Cinespace and Check Yo'
Ponytail. 


With the 20th Anniversary of IHEARTCOMIX coming up in 2024,
Franki takes a look back at the company’s roots in promotions and
as a record label, and talks about the transition towards what
the company is today: a fully fledged creative agency doing big
campaigns and experiences for the Marvel Cinematic Universe,
Disney, Sundance, artists such as Billie Eilish, and much more.
Franki discusses the importance of always looking forward, and
passing the torch to the next generation of indie artists and
creatives.
