The majority of the work recorded by Oliver Wang can be found at his site, http://www.legionsofboom.com. Mixcrate will be writing several follow-ups and articles, helping share the story of Filipino American's contributions to the mobile DJ scene, Turntablism and Hip-Hop. This is just a small microcosm of the type of contributions made in the entertainment industry. The broader themes mentioned, in Oliver Wang's paper, speak to a larger sociological movement to create identity for Filipino Americans. Music is just one of those avenues, we as Filipino Americans, have pursued. There are more of those stories to be shared. Stay tuned. Jeff, thanks for the love.
