- Hey, Lexi, we need you in five.

Okay?

- [Woman] DJ Lanessa?

- Yes.

- [Woman] Hi, can I have an autograph?

- Yeah.

(muffled beat music)

- [Woman] Thank you.

- Wanna take a picture?

- [Woman] Yeah, absolutely.

(camera snapping)

Thank you.

- No problem.

(crowd cheering)

(exciting beat music)

(somber music)

- [Lexi Voiceover] My name is Alexis "Lexi" Sandoval.

I was mostly raised by my dad.

The sky is dark.

Lonely.

The mountains are white.

It's cold.

(knocking)

- Alexis, come on out.

We got Chinese food.

(somber music)

I am George Sandoval

and I am from Puerto Rico.

We got our two kids.

My one daughter, she's going to college.

I'm so proud of her, she's going to college right now.

And Alexis, she loves the music

and she's doing something with the music.

I'm not quite sure what it is

but she loves it.

And then my wife,

Lanessa Sandoval.

Let me tell you about Lanessa Sandoval.

After she started waitressing, you know,

and we were able to put out money together,

one of her passions was playing piano and music

because she used to play piano in Puerto Rico

and so we brought the piano here

and Lanessa used to play the piano so beautifully

and then she started to get students to come

and she would teach them to play the piano,

which was fantastic.

I can tell you, it was great.

And then my daughters, when they were growing up,

like Lexi, she would play the piano all the time

with Lanessa.

It was beautiful and there would be music in the house

all the time.

(somber piano music)

And then when Lanessa got sick and she died,

then Lexi stopped play the piano.

And sometimes it's difficult for me

because I don't understand what Alexis is trying to do.

Lexi, I don't sometimes know what it is she wants.

- [Lexi Voiceover] I've never been in love before.

I've never loved myself.

(sexual moaning)

- Ow!

Ow, stop!

Stop!

- What the fuck, Lex?!

I'm fucking bleeding.

- [Lexi] I told you to stop!

- Why the fuck did you kick me?!

Be that way.

(somber music)

(bubbling)

- [Lexi] I'm done.

I'm leaving.

- I don't know what the fuck you think you're gonna do?

You're not gonna make it.

Nothing's gonna happen with you.

You're not gonna fucking be no fucking DJ.

- [Lexi Voiceover] I had to get out of this relationship.

- Get the fuck out of here.

(exciting beat music)

- [Lexi Voiceover] I wanna make something of myself.

I wanna do my mother proud.

(truck horn honking)

A bunch of kids just drove by me real quick.

I don't know where they going.

I don't know where I'm going.

I know I love music.

Music lives inside of me.

I want

what Gil Morrison has.

(thudding)

- [Gil] Game over, shit!

- Gil Morrison, can I please have your autograph, dude?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Thanks, man.

(beat music)

- [Gil Voiceover] But it's not just the music.

I'm connecting to the aliens.

We're having sex with the universe.

It's wild, it's almost religious.

It's like a spiritual event

and I'm the one

spinning the music.

Gil Morrison.

I play it loud!

I'll bring in everybody.

Race, religion, sexes,

they're all there.

Don't think about all those things you fear.

Just be there.

(exciting electronic dance music)

DJs are the new rock stars!

♪ Gil Morrison

(exciting electronic dance music)

- How about a selfie, dude?

- Oh, come on, man.

- Come on, I have 20 bucks, man.

- Fuck it.

- Thanks, brother.

(camera snapping)

All right, thanks man.

- Hey.

- Hey, Lexi.

- Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, I just got your email.

I texted you back.

- That's,

that's so weird.

I just text you like five minutes ago.

- So you can get me a gig over there?

- Yeah, yeah.

I could probably get you a gig.

- So you're sure I can get a gig?

- Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

- All right, well.

- I mean, did you wanna come out here?

- I'm gonna come there.

- You can crash here for a little bit if you want.

- All right.

I'll see you soon.

Bye.

- Okay, bye.

- I'm gonna do this.

- Oh, Lexi.

(groaning)

Dude, you've been talking about this girl for months, man.

Let's get out of here and go skate.

- Cali, here I come.

(upbeat music)

- Yo, Sam.

Oh, yo,

hold up, hold up.

Just chill, chill, chill.

Just be yourself.

You be you, all right?

Of course.

You're my boy, Sam.

All right, you got it, good luck.

(motor puttering)

- [Sam] Hey, Spence, can I talk to you about something?

- Yeah.

- You know that girl, Lexi,

from Colorado?

- Who are you talking about again?

- Lexi, Lexi is her name.

DJ, she spins, the whole thing.

She's sexy, she's gorgeous.

She's perfect.

She's coming.

- [Spence] What's the problem?

- I don't know, I can't get her all the stuff

that I promised her.

I didn't think she was actually gonna come but like--

- [Spence] You have a place, she can sleep on your couch.

What about Todd at Taco Love?

- That's true.

Todd, Todd could.

He actually offered me a job last week, so.

- Can I look over the project?

- Yeah, yeah.

I got all that done, you can take a look at it.

I don't know.

I didn't really get to see how it looks.

- Fuck.

Scott didn't do this, man.

Bill's gonna be pissed.

You're supposed to be done like four weeks ago.

- [Sam] I told Scott.

He said he was gonna do it.

- Listen, I'll help you out.

Let me just finish this stuff

and then we'll talk all about this DJ girl.

You're good.

(somber music)

- What the fuck you doing?

Look at everything I've done for you.

- You're not gonna take all.

- No, you ain't.

- Stop!

Stop!

I'm just packing.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop!

- Why you leaving?

- I told you, I'm leaving.

(bubbling)

(ominous beat music)

- So where you gonna go?

- I don't know.

I was thinking about New York.

I hate the scene over there.

- I don't want you going anywhere anyway.

Why don't you move in here with me?

Still DJ.

- And what?

Show up with black and blue eyes?

- Don't come crawling back.

- [Lexi Voiceover] Dean,

what can I say?

I was with the wrong, abusive guy for five years.

(bubbling)

- Gosh, isn't it just beautiful today?

One of my favorite reasons for being here this time of year.

Just gorgeous, isn't it?

So have you thought anymore about getting out of town?

- I don't know.

- Everything in life is gonna be hard.

I mean, that's part of life.

But you just go out there and you do your best

and whatever happens, happens.

- I just

wanna do more of what I love.

I don't know about leaving yet.

- [Diane] What's keeping you here?

- [Lexi] My dad is here.

- I really do believe in you.

I think you are so talented.

Your mother would be so proud of you.

Don't make the same mistakes that I made.

Keep that nose clean.

(laughing)

- Thanks, Diane,

for believing in me.

- I miss her too.

I miss her a lot.

I want you to take this with you.

If you don't wanna take my advice,

I have a psychic that I really believe in

and I want to recommend her to you.

- [Lexi] How much are your readings?

- It's 20 bucks.

- Here.

- [Psychic] Thank you so much.

And what's your name?

- [Lexi] Lexi.

- And do you have any burning questions

that you wanna ask me?

- [Lexi] When will I make it as an artist?

- [Psychic] Fame, fortune, everything you've been wanting

is going to manifest very soon.

Especially when you move to a new place of residence.

Any other questions?

- [Lexi] Can I trust Sam?

- [Psychic] Sam has always been there for you

and I also see,

I feel a spirit of your mother.

Has your mother passed?

- [Lexi] Yeah, she passed away when I was little.

- [Psychic] Namaste.

- [Lexi] Thank you.

- [Dean Voiceover] Give up this DJing shit.

That was big in the 80s.

It's about me right now, what I got going on.

You're supposed to be by my side, right?

You ain't never gonna make it at a fucking DJ.

You ain't shit.

Get the fuck out of here.

(upbeat electronic music)

- [Diane Voiceover] That girl,

she has such a place in my heart.

I know she's gonna do great.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Yo, Thursday night, Nikki's, be there.

It's gonna be popping.

(airplane whooshing)

- [Sam] Hey, buddy.

Don't mind him.

- [Lexi] Hey.

So cute.

(door creaking)

- Got that.

- I'm Xander.

- [Lexi] Hi.

- [Xander] Nice to meet you. - [Sam] Yeah, this is.

- [Lexi] I'm Lexi.

- This is my roommate.

- [Lexi] I thought you said you had one roommate.

- [Sam] Oh, I have two.

We all work.

- Where you gonna stay?

You wanna stay in my room?

(Lexi laughing)

- [Sam] No, she's staying in my room.

It's cool.

- Thank you, though.

- Fine.

I'll sleep at my chick's place tonight.

- I thought you said you had one roommate?

- [Sam] All right.

This is my place.

- Cool.

- [Sam] Yeah.

Put this right down here.

- Where?

Where am I gonna sleep?

- That's what your mat thing was for, right?

- [Lexi] Yeah, fine.

Thant's totally cool.

- You know what, you know what?

I'll take the mat on the wood floor

and you can have the bed, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay, sweet.

Here, let me, I'll take the bag for you.

- Thank you.

- And put it on your bed now.

All right, I'm gonna put this right here.

- Yeah, that's fine.

- What is this?

- This is to pretty much make music.

So it's a MIDI controller.

There's nothing in it.

Once you put it in the computer,

I can put whatever sample or sounds I want

in each individual pad.

So if I was gonna put like a kick and snare.

So, yeah, and you press it

and then kick, snare, kick.

- Oh.

- [Lexi] You can put anything. - [Sam] Duh.

- You can put a scream and its like "ah."

- No way, that's really cool.

- Yeah, I'll show it to you later.

- Yeah, you should.

Yeah, put that down.

I don't want you to break anything.

- This is cool.

- Yeah.

These are just a lot of books that are like hand-me-downs.

Yeah, don't touch that.

It's fine. (giggling)

(traffic commotion)

- Hey, this is Spencer from Bill's office.

Yeah, the Project 27.

It's, um,

we're working on the documentary "Douche Bags of Diego."

No, douche bags.

"Douche Bags of Diego."

- He acts like he's on the phone but he's not.

Um yeah,

this is my desk where I do all my

work.

As you could say.

- [Lexi] So what do you guys do again?

- We are a production company.

So we specialize in documentaries, I guess you would say.

Right now we're working on something.

Yeah, don't look at it, it's not ready yet.

I think it's like, "Douche Bags of Diego."

It's something stupid, it's not gonna sell.

- Douche Bags of Diego?

- I know, I know, you should be in it.

But yeah, I mean, we get paid for it.

So might do the job anyways.

But yeah, we have some other offices back here.

- I would say Thursday.

You got it, thanks.

Okay.

Bye.

What's up, guys?

- What's up, man?

This is Lexi.

Lexi, this is Spencer.

Nice to meet you.

How are you?

- Yeah, she just got into town,

- [Spencer] Are you a snowboarder?

- Yeah.

- She's terrible.

Awful, I mean, I saw the clips.

- You haven't seen me in a long time.

- Two broken legs in a month, it was terrible.

I love Colorado.

So I'm really looking for someone

to run the basic operations.

- And then you hit cash, credit.

- [Man] Hey.

- Give me a sec.

What's up, man?

- Are you sure she's gonna work out?

- Yeah, I think so, absolutely.

She's just having a little trouble with the aloha, but--

- She can't even sell a Coke.

- Yeah, I know,

she's having a little trouble than I expected

but I think she'll be solid once she gets it down.

- I hope so.

- I was working at a coffee shop.

I won't wanna be doing that here.

I didn't come all the way here for that.

You told me you had a gig?

What's up with that gig?

- Let me, I don't know what's up with it,

but let me check on Craigslist real quick.

- All right.

- [Sam] There's gotta be something.

(sighing)

- Is this your dirty underwear?

Ew!

There's seven birds flying right on top of me.

Sam makes me feel comfortable.

I'm not in love

How we promote you.

How we brand you.

You know what I'm saying?

The first thing we need for you is a name.

- I have a name.

DJ Lanessa.

- DJ Lanessa, I don't really like it.

- I mean, I have that name because it's my mom's name.

- Yeah, but you know, we gotta something a little edgier,

a little sexier like.

Like "Sugar."

DJ Sugar, yeah.

From now now on, you're DJ Sugar.

Know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna get you a gym membership

and we're gonna get you in shape.

We're gonna sex you up a little bit.

You know, get you some new outfits.

The only thin, Lexi, is I need you to sign this agreement.

This is a basic service agreement between you and me

that says I am entitled to a small percentage

of whatever you make.

Basically, it's like this.

You make money, I make money.

I make money, you make money.

- Gil Morrison is gonna be at the show?

- You know, he's just kinda sponsoring it

but let me tell you something.

If you get a headlining spot at a Gil Morrison event,

you're all set.

I'm talking everyone knows about you.

Lexi, I'm talking tours,

I'm talking fucking international stuff.

Sky's the limit.

You look so fucking hot tonight.

I mean, I was looking at you, I was like, fuck,

you're gorgeous.

(giggling)

Did you see me looking at you?

- No.

(laughing)

- Come here.

Hey.

Come here.

(ominous beat music)

(giggling)

(moaning)

- [Lexi] Wait, wait, Jake.

- What?

- [Lexi] Stop, stop.

- What? What?

What?

- [Lexi] Do you have something?

- Oh fuck, yeah, you're right.

Yeah,

I do.

I'll look in the bathroom.

- Hey, Jake, stop!

I don't think this is a good idea.

You're my manager.

It just doesn't feel right.

- Lexi, what the fuck are you talking about?

What do you mean it's not a good idea?

- I was fucking, you and me, we're the fucking same.

I'm not trying to be your boyfriend.

I'm not trying to look for a commitment.

Look, I'm just talking about a little fucking

amongst colleagues, that's all.

- Jake, I find you really attractive

but it's not a good idea.

I don't know about his.

- I'm not looking for something exclusive.

- All right.

Just this one time

because I'm fucked up.

After that, it's strictly business.

- [Jake] Strictly. - [Lexi] Okay?

- Strictly!

(ominous music)

(gasping)

Oh, fuck.

(huffing)

Fuck yeah.

Oh,

fuck.

(huffing)

Fuck.

(eerie music)

- I'm Mike Diesel.

Calvin White and I started

White Diesel Records.

You heard of us.

We were it.

I was in it for the music.

I was in it for the sound.

Now, I'm in it for this.

(sniffing)

Base lining thick,

give it a full sound.

- Sounds wicked.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, I love it.

I'm blown away.

- Genius, right?

Yeah, you guys hungry?

I can get some food.

I'll bring some food back, yeah?

- [Jake] Hey, hey, hey, what's up fellas?

- Hey, what're you doing here?

- Hey, Calvin, it's cool, man.

- No, you can not be here, get out!

- I'm sorry, we came to talk about Lexi's demo, man.

- I have Lexi's demo and I told you

I'd get back to you right now but we're working.

- [Jake] But you never got back to me.

- Not now, man, not now.

- All right, okay, cool.

Hey, no sweat.

You know?

Special delivery.

Jake's here.

- Are you kidding me right now?

You know I've been clean for three years.

- It's not like that.

- It's for me, man.

- That's what I'm talking about.

- [Calvin] Get back to you, now get out.

- Mike.

We're good?

- We're good! Get out!

- Come on, Lexi, let's go, let's roll.

It's cool, it's cool.

Hit me up, man.

You know that shit's good.

- Shit.

- [Mike] Everything cool?

- Yeah.

Sorry, man.

- [Lexi On Phone] Hey Jake.

Been trying to get in touch with you.

Um,

what's going on with my music?

Let me know.

(dramatic music)

- [Sam Voiceover] I haven't heard from you in awhile.

It's Sam, by the way.

I thought this was your show.

Sorry, I'm driving.

- [Lexi Voiceover] I found out that Jake

was giving away my tracks.

(banging)

- The fuck do you want?

- I wanna talk to you about

how your client is playing my tracks.

- You know what,

you should read your fucking contract better.

You signed away the rights to your demo.

- What?

You fucking asshole!

- Yeah, it's fucking in there, read it.

- You can't even play your own tracks?

- Jake is gonna hook me up with a couple of good beats.

I'm gonna work it in.

- So what, now you're fucking him?

- Oh, really?

Are you fucking kidding me?

- It's none of your business, bitch!

- Stop! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop! Stop!

Stop, all right. Fucking that's enough!

That's enough! That's enough!

Enough! Enough! Enough!

Enough! Enough!

Lexi, fucking chill, all right?

Amanda, go in the fucking house.

(laughing)

- Hey Lexi, enjoy my beats, bitch!

- All right, go in the fucking house.

- You're an asshole.

- Yeah, I know I'm a fucking asshole

but I also happen to own the name "DJ Sugar."

Okay, so good luck getting someone to come see you

without the name recognition that I fucking built for you,

okay?

Oh yeah and come by New Year's Eve, the Mainstage.

Because Raven,

Raven's gonna put on a hell of a fucking show.

You know what, fuck it, I'll send you a flyer.

Sound good?

- Whatever, Jake.

(ominous music)

(somber music)

- [Lexi Voiceover] I had to sell all my equipment.

- Hey, Bill?

Yeah, it's me.

I'm outside with the control and the headphones.

- 120 for everything, including the headphones.

- Okay.

- [Bill] Awesome.

There you go.

- Thank you.

- Please doing business with you.

- Likewise.

(dramatic music)

(phone buzzing)

(sexual moaning)

- Hello?

What's up, Lex?

- You were right about everything.

- Hey, that's not really my problem.

Hey.

I--

- I sold all my equipment.

- Hey, I gotta go right now.

I'm really busy.

Listen, listen, I'll think about it.

- Why's that bitch calling you?

(crying)

(dramatic music)

(laughing)

- [Mike] Like that?

- [Lexi] Yeah, I love Gil Morrison.

- [Mike] Really?

- [Lexi] Yeah.

- Found him in a shithole on Ventura.

Some dumpy club, I changed his style and made him a star.

- Who do you think can help me out?

(dramatic music)

What do you have in mind?

- Hey, is this Chris?

- Yeah, what's up?

- Hey, what's up man, it's Sam.

Good, good.

Hey, I was wondering if it was cool if we

rent out the skate park for a DJ party or something.

- Yeah, man look, here's the problem.

The skate park is not gonna fly.

You've got some insurance problems to deal with.

Yeah, I got something here she should definitely look at,

so send her through.

Tell her she can come through in like an hour.

- All right, Pacific.

All right, sweet.

- All right.

- See you then, thank you so much, appreciate it.

- Later.

- Bye.

(somber music)

- [Mike Voiceover] I did.

Not really the sound we're looking for right now.

But if you wanna hang out again though, cool.

- [Lexi On Phone] Hey Dad,

how are you?

- [George On Phone] How is everything?

How's San Diego?

- [Lexi On Phone] Yeah, everything's okay.

I think I'm gonna come back.

I ran out of money.

- [George On Phone] Oh, okay.

I'll send you money, there's no problem.

- [Lexi On Phone] How's Brieanne?

- [George On Phone] Your sister is going fine.

She's finishing up her exams.

- [Lexi On Phone] That's good.

- [George On Phone] When are you planning

on moving back home?

- [Lexi On Phone] Well, I think I'm gonna be back by,

by New Year's, hopefully.

- [George On Phone] How's Sam?

- [Lexi On Phone] I don't know.

I'm not talking to him right now.

- [George On Phone] Oh, okay.

- [Lexi On Phone] Well I can't wait to see you there.

- [George On Phone] Let me know

so I can pick you up from the airport.

- [Lexi On Phone] All right.

Well, I'll see you soon.

Bye, Dad.

I love you.

- [George On Phone] Okay, Daddy loves you, okay?

I love you.

Call me anytime.

Call me if you need something.

Okay, bye.

- [Lexi On Phone] All right.

- [Sam On Phone] I am so glad you contacted me.

Could you meet me over at my work?

I've got something to show you.

- [Lexi On Phone] All right, cool.

- Let's do our own show.

Pretty sick, huh?

I did it myself.

A-class status, right here.

- [Lexi] Okay.

- [Sam] Gonna print all this right now.

Go ahead and put flyers everywhere.

(beeping)

Get stuff going.

- Who doesn't want a double cheeseburger?

(knocking)

Come in!

Look, I got somebody here, I'll get back to you.

You must be Lexi.

I got good news and I got bad news.

What do you want first?

- Bad news?

- Bad news.

Skate park, not gonna work.

Can't clear it with the insurance.

Wanna hear the good news?

- Yeah.

- I might have something that will work for you.

Within you budget.

- Yeah, let's go see it.

- All right.

Follow me.

(upbeat music)

This is the space.

What do you think?

- [Lexi] It's a good size.

- [Chris] A lot of room for the dance floor.

I'll do this for 200 bucks.

- Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Let's do it.

- [Chris] Hey, let's have a beer, seal the deal.

- [Lexi] Uh, I kinda--

- Oh come on, no funny stuff, just a beer.

(people chattering)

Oh, look who it is.

- You know Gil Morrison?

- [Chris] Gil!

- Yeah?

Chris?

- [Chris] Yeah, man.

- What's up, man?

- How you doing?

Going on.

Good to see you.

- What're you doing in this dump?

- [Chris] Man,

I ain't old and big as you but I'm working on it.

- Shut up.

- Hey, you know what?

I'm gonna get us some drinks.

Gil, Lexi, Lexi, Gil.

- Hi.

- Hey, how are you?

- Good.

Is it cool if I sit down?

- Seat's open.

- So what're you doing here?

You in town for a show?

- No, no, I'm just handling some business.

I just wanna say hello.

You know, I don't know, don't wanna get all personal.

Just came from up the street at the nursing home,

visiting my mom.

- Hey,

can I ask you something?

- Yeah.

- I DJ over at Mainstage

and this other DJ took my New Year's Eve show.

She even stole a couple of my tracks.

I just thought if you heard me one time

you'd know that I'm pretty good.

- Look,

was it Lexi?

- Yeah.

- Lexi, you're killing me, all right?

I've been on tour for the last few months,

I've been to like eight different cities

in the last eight weeks.

Tokyo,

Hong Kong,

Barcelona,

Rio.

God,

I gotta be I Manila on New Year's Eve, myself.

I personally don't care

who's playing Mainstage in San Diego.

- What about remembering your roots?

- I do remember my roots.

They sucked.

I was a dishwasher here.

Nowadays they pay me to put my name on a flyer

some 20 places at once.

It's fantastic.

It's just that I don't wanna ruin something that's good.

All right.

Not getting involved in the local squabbles.

- So, that's how it is?

You just don't care about music anymore?

- I do care about music.

I care about my music.

I just don't care about your music.

- So,

you're really not gonna help me at all?

- What am I gonna get out of it?

There's no money in it for me.

I mean, I should get something out of it, right?

- You know,

I used to be a really big fan of yours.

- Oh yeah?

- But you're just a creep like everybody else.

I sleep with who I want to, when I want to.

It's my choice.

You get it?

You know what,

one day I'm gonna be bigger than you.

Actually, I already am.

- Okay, DJ Lex.

You will.
