YOLA monster

Hailing from our nation’s capital, Jason Berto aka Yola is dedicated to fostering the ideals of sound system culture in the United States, and most importantly on his home turf in Washington, D.C. via his night “Computa Age”, now in it's fifth year and still running strong. Yola reaches his global audience through his monthly radio show, "Computa Age”, on the award winning, www.sub.fm, the fourth Sunday of every month (6PM-8PM EST), now in its fourth year. Yola's DJ career originated from his love for collecting music. Inheriting a vinyl collection from his father at an early age set the stage for his addiction to white labels, limited quantity pressings, and sound. Analog vibes have, and forever will, play a major role in his progression into the digital age. His love for collecting developed into a love for sharing. Curating and exposing the music he holds near and dear became paramount through the launch of his record label, Grand Ancestor, in 2013. The goal, to expose his audience to new and noteworthy music from around the world. The label is now in it’s third year and making a serious name for itself around the globe for its sound system anthems and dedication to limited quantity, vinyl only releases. In addition to running Grand Ancestor Records, Yola currently operates Washington, D.C.'s first custom Jamaican-style stack known as Grand Ancestor Sound System, hosting earth shattering dances throughout The District. The sound system is a custom built, four-way, analog stack measuring 10ft. tall, 8f.t wide, and 4ft. deep. Label Head: Grand Ancestor Records Selector / Sound Operator: Grand Ancestor Sound System
