Simply put Men On Vacation is a trinity inspired by all things music and the wild obsession of collecting records. Two members in Portland Oregon (PHNM + Jupiter Williams) and one in Sin City Las Vegas (Neek Lopez). In addition to playing out, being socialites, and throwing parties around the world, the boys also have a podcast (@5on5podcast) presented by Direct Music Service where they talk even more music. When they’re not creating the soundtrack of the night they enjoy long walks on the beach, Prince Rogers Nelson, and a cold Topo Chico to wet the whistle.

Tell You That

Lemi Vice & Action Jackson - Tell You That ft. 2 Chainz

On February 13, Dorsh Deans stumbled across an NPR Fresh Air interview with Oscar nominated actress Viola Davis.  She discussed the traditional roles of dark-skinned women in Hollywood films and made an incredible point about how 'media inspires the mulatto from within'. Dorsh completely agreed with her position and wrote a song which features poetry from the legendary Gil Scott-Heron and production from RJF. The track is entitled "The Mulatto (Afrodite)" and it depicts the life of a girl who knows she is beautiful but falls victim to societies simulated standard of light-skinned beauty. Dorsh is reaching out because he feels that the message covers an important issue that no one is addressing in the hip hop/music community.

In the past year, Dorsh has been featured on several top music blogs and radio shows domestically and Internationally. On February 24, 2012 his debut single “Je t’aime”, from the Neopolitan LP, premiered at #10 on Hypem’s popular music charts. Amidst performing with a wide range of artists from LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad to Talib Kweli, Dorsh has done remix work for FADERLABEL in NYC, engineered for Ska Rebirth in Kingston, and mastered for Asahi Brewery in Tokyo. Successfully earning his stripes in the as an engineer/producer, Dorsh is now ready to transition from behind the board to behind the mic with his debut LP Neopolitan for Rad Summer!

Dorsh - The Mulatto (Afrodite)

Dorsh's newest single off Neopolitan is a remix by drum-n-bass heavy weight Dave Owen.

Dorsh is the type to stretch boundaries, to combine genres, and to stake new territory as a pioneer of sorts. Following his dream to become a professional soccer player, Dorsh attended trials with Birmingham City in the English Premiership and with the Jamaican National team in 2008. Unfortunately, during a league match against IU at Butler University, where he attended school, he suffered a blow to the head that shattered his face in multiple locations, ruining his soccer dreams forever. It’s funny how life sets a path for you; most would say they stumbled upon the place they currently find themselves living or working. Injuries may shatter bones and ruin dreams; alternatively, they may also open doors. No longer pursuing a career in soccer, Dorsh turned his interest to music and here he is 4 years later with his debut L.P. Neopolitan which will be released via Rad Summer May 7th 2012. Much respect, bless up!

Dorsh - Belief (Dave Owen Remix)

Rad Summer is extremely proud to present to you Neopolitan, the debut album from Dorsh, as a free download!

Neopolitan is much like the ice cream it is named after. It’ s a mixture of Reggae, Electro, Disco, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rock, Dubstep, and R&B, flavors all blended into one creamy collection. When Dorsh Deans sat down to conceptualize the Neopolitan album, Dorsh realized with his given “Jaminglican” (Jamaican, English, and American) heritage, that he was in a unique position to represent a significantly large group of people authentically. Having spent his entire life as a soccer player in the U.S. and abroad, he wanted the album to mirror the workings of the World Cup, and its function to bring people together from all parts of the globe. Soccer exposed Dorsh to many cultures and he felt it was only appropriate that he share my experiences through another universal language, music.

Dorsh made Neopolitan to show people that it is ok to be yourself, to celebrate differences, and to embrace more than ONE kind of music! People learn the best through music, and Neopolitan presents a new way to grasp the concept of a “diverse” album and artist.

To celebrate the announcement  of the No Bad Ideas presents Oreo Jones x DMA Behind the Lips USA Tour, Oreo Jones and Action Jackson proudly give to the world the first single off of the upcoming Black Fabio mixtape Black By Popular Demand!

BLACK FABIO IS BACK!  That's right, the hip-hop duo with the luxurious blonde locks has returned with a new single just in time for the holiday season.  "Now You Do" picks up where the first mixtape left off with Oreo's over-the-top rhymes and Jackson's love genre bending samples and 808 trap drums.  For everyone on the east coast, catch Oreo Jones and Action Jackson as they hit the road with DMA for the No Bad Ideas Clothing Company presents Behind the Lips Tour!

Oreo Jones:
The past few years have been extremely busy for Indianapolis emcee Oreo Jones. In the past year, OJ has orchestrated an indie rock collab EP, dropped his highly successful single and video “Cordon Bleu”, collaborated with Action Jackson on their smash Black Fabio mixtape, performed at several of the best indie shows in Nap, and most recently was voted the #1 hip-hop act in Indianapolis by Nuvo News. With his debut album Betty set to release September 4th via Rad Summer, Oreo has several music videos, singles, and events planned for the next few months!
http://twitter.com/oreojones

Action Jackson:
Indianapolis born and raised, Action Jackson has quickly established himself as one of the premier DJs in the Midwest, playing well over 200 shows in 2011. Specializing in genre bending mixes that span multiple styles of music, he is equally comfortable spinning hip-hop, house, dubstep, moombahton, indie rock, and everything in between. His productions are diverse as well, having remixed artists such as Passion Pit, Hall and Oates, and Smokey Robinson. 2011 found Action linking with emcee Oreo Jones for their collaboration “Black Fabio”, a parody of the famous model from the 80′s. In short, there’s not a crowd or party that he can’t rock including large festivals such as Forecastle, Identity Festival, and The Indianapolis 500, the largest single day sporting event in the world.
