GRANT TAYLOR #1

2012-01-31T00:13:00.007+01:00

Atlanta's son Grant Taylor is what you call an all around skater, and that's pure old school by itself. At 21 he already skates and destroys everything in goofy stance -and in good ol'fashion-. This is why Trasher Magazine awarded him with the title of skater of the year 2011. In case you don't trust nobody you may need to check out the content below.

So sorry for the last two months , I just got swallowed by life. Now back to you with a bucket of love for awesomeness to share and spread.

James Jean is a Taiwanese-American visual artist, born in 1979 and known for both his commercial work and fine art gallery work. He got popular in the american comics industry as a cover artist for various books published by DC Comics, as well as for his work for Prada, ESPN and Atlantic Records. His mind blowing artworks have been compared by the New York Times to that of Maxfield Parrish.

Today one of the last true heres left us. I'm going to say one thing out loud: I've always been of the Frazier side.

That's because before being a boxing legend he was such a great humang being, incredibly humble despite of his legacy, incredibly classy both in victory and defeat. Out of the ring, thanks to his self confidence and his soothing, placid temperament he always kept his composure, staying away from all that useless showboating and ridicolous cocky behaviour of his opponents. Hey... just keep on smokin' up there tough guy.

LIVING SHADOW

2011-11-04T14:23:00.002+01:00

The guys at Billboard always bring us juicy exclusive contants, and a few things are more amazing than sitting at Mophonics Studio in New York with Brooklyn's homeboys Twin Shadow. The indie-pop act did not disappoint, performing a few tracks and speaking on the group's success to date. Light, airy synths from Wynne Bennett wafted in and out of George Lewis Jr.'s new wave-inspired vocals and guitar, while bassist Russ Manning picked his way through grooving basslines and drummer Andy Bauer kept the pulsing beat.

SOUTHERN LIGHTS

2011-11-02T03:44:00.002+01:00

This planet is really going bananas. A cloud of charged particles from the sun slammed into Earth Monday, setting off an intense geomagnetic storm that spawned northern lights across the U.S.—even in the Deep South, where they more often appeared as rare, all-red auroras. Sky shows were reported in more than half the 50 states, including Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas.

REMIXES FOR FREE

2011-10-31T03:42:00.008+01:00

Broke For Free is one of those artists which make us still believe in mankind. Despite his young age, he touches an incredible bunch of genres, from electro dub to hip hop and glitch. His sound is so incredibly wise, so deep that why we couldn't believe he was giving away most of his albums and ep's straight out on free download. You see, that's just how it should work, sharing the love. For music or whatever else, what you give is what you get.

This is a really precious collection of remixes he made in ode to some of his favorite songs. This album is his attempt to draw influences from many harder hitting artists and blend those sounds with the more tranquil and melodic sounds.

Free download of 6-track album in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

EYE LISTENING

2011-10-30T13:59:00.003+01:00

Repositories of stories and its enriching emotions, the covers, that accomodate the existing panoply of musical genres, are the motto for this exibition. The focus is made on album covers that often conquer our memory even when music slightly reached our ears.

Major graphic disasters or deified, unduly ignored or zeitgeists, covers provide listening with a touch and an image, with the act of collection and share. From cover to cover, going thru all the stories (and histories), Cãoceito + Burdman wrote a new one to the sound of a song that repeats: I need nothing, I’ve everything I need.

This amazing cinematic footage offers a good glimpse into the gritty, evolving story of Diablo III. As Deckard Cain's niece, Leah, struggles to make sense of her uncle's mysterious and disturbing notations, she bears witness to a dark vision. Azmodan, Lord of Sin, towers over the fragile young woman, swearing his armies of the burning Hells shall pour forth into Sanctuary, ravishing the world and all hope of resistance.

HIGH definition is HIGHLY recomended.

Glitch electro is an electronic music sub genre based of glitches, which basically are techinical errors turned into a filthy unpredictable underground sound, and The Glitch Mob is the prophet of this church.

If you like both full electro bass vibes and motion pictures you're gonna love this, even if it is not intended to tell a story. The only aim is to relate sound to motion, so each and every cut you see was picked exclusively for that purpose.

Jack Vale is the king of pranks. Teaming up with his uncle John, he's the best at two things: farting in public with his own pooter device and getting people paranoid (and eventually get punched). He made more than 400 pranks, and this is probably my favourite one so far.

This one is malincoholia at its finest and it just feels good to my ears, perfectly moody for today.

It's "1994" by Lovelife, which are made of one half of Ghosthustler (Noah Jackson) and half is of Neon Indian (Alan Palomo)... 'nuff said.

Some memories are weirdly sweet and sour at the same, and when you feel that taste you know those are the ones that will never fade away.

Jamie Lidell is such an inspired producer, and iMaschine is such an amazing music app for iPhone/iPad. It's "nothing else" than the brand new portable version of Mashine, a real successful software by Native Instruments.

Here's the result of the collision between the two of them: an exclusive version of "A Little Bit More" from the album Multiply (2005, Warp) made up while relaxing in bed. The entire performance was done live in one take, with nothing pre-recorded, and no post-production edits made to the song.

Afrobeat at his best or pop commercial fakeness? Fela Kuti or Kanye West?

Millions of people freaks out for the Mtv's VMAs. For the real music lovers out there, we suggest to go for the MMAs, the Mozambique Music Awards.

Life without music would be less noisy, less cluttered and less interesting.

BIZ WAR

2011-10-01T23:42:00.003+02:00

We're living the reboot era in every entertainment field, and here goes another one. A real brilliant one actually, which masterly transforms the glorious Syndacate series created by Bullfrog Productions back in 1993 from isometric carnage into a breath takin first person shooter.

In the not too distant future, the world is divided into regions controlled by mega-corporations known as Syndicates. In this future, businnes is war, and you are the weapon: the latest prototype agent for Eurocorp, one of the most ruthless Syndicates in a world dominated by greed. In single-player, embark on a unique sci-fi shooter adventure of corruption and revenge, as you utilize DART 6 chip-enhanced technology to breech, manipulate and control the wired world. Or form your own Syndicate in four-player co-op and dominate nine action-packed missions inspired by the original Syndicate game.

EIGHTIES STRIKES BACK

2011-09-30T01:35:00.002+02:00

Think about Tom Cruise and what he's all about. Now flip that concept upside down and you will have the enchanting music of Com Truise (one of the many pseudonyms of New Jersey designer/musician Seth Haley).

The nostalgia bit inevitably comes up, so let's get that out of the way. Yes, his songs tap classic sci-fi and proto-electro in a way that is distinctly early eighties in scope. But they're also remarkably weird—stutter-step proggy and intoxicatingly psychedelic, like those classic touchstones got drunk on lava lamp juice inside a pinball machine. After his well-received Cyanide Sisters EP, a grip of remixes for artists like Twin Shadow, Neon Indian, and, uh, Daft Punk, and a few floating MP3s, Truise's first LP, Galactic Melt, has finally entered brainspaces this summer.

Hence the fully blown-out treatment for "Brokendate," which rolls everything from eighties cop noir to Blade Runner retro-futurism to slo-mo Hype Williams nods into one five-minute world unto itself.

Crack open a cold one, or kick-start the blender and fire up that Piña Colada — it’s time to celebrate! Forum is proud to announce the newest installment in their vast library of team-inspired videos. After winning back-to-back awards for Forever and Fuck It, a little team Vacation was long overdue.

Ironically, when the pressure went down, the progression of snowboarding went up ... way up.

The three available colorways—Beachtree, Cool Grey and Black—have bright color pops in the soles, too.

Danny Trejo always had minor roles untill Machete came out. Well... not exactly. In 2005 he has been the protagonist of Champion, a very inspiring documentary about his crazy life. Even if this is an award winning film and it features stars such as Dennis Hopper, Steve Bushemi and Val Kilmer just a few noticed it. We strongly reccomend to witch off that damn tv and just go for it.

BURNING HOOPS

2011-08-18T22:28:00.010+02:00

The new Nba Jam is one of the best reboots in the history of gaming. It's like they used some sort of magic spell that makes it playable on a daily basis for ten years without getting tired of it. But it seems at EA Sports they don't care about this, as they decided to release an even better one called Nba Jam On Fire Edition.

Basically it's an improved version with more crazy moves, more efficient artificial intelligence, team fire, online features, and -of course- updated rosters. Everybody razzle dazzle!

I'm happy to annouce that real house music, that down to earth groovy-positive-funky-friendly vibe we were dancin to untill a decade ago, is still alive.

Following the success of their genre-defying anthem ‘In It Together’ and the stunning remix package that comes with it, Human Life prove they are suited to producing stone-cold club bangers as they are synth-pop anthems with their latest single. ‘Uptown’ fuses emotive pads and driving percussion with relentlessly energetic synth patterns to create a high octane blast of foot-stompingly powerful tech house, suitable only for the most discerning of dancefloors.

ANALOGUE ARMY

2011-07-26T03:15:00.001+02:00

PEOPLES POISON

2011-07-22T16:42:00.010+02:00

Karl Marx once said that the religion is the opium of the people. In the case of Jonestown we all wish it was just that.

With "Go Outside" the astonishing duo Cults (guitarist Brian Oblivion and singer Madeline Follin) cuddle our ears reminding us of something we should never forget...

Peoples Temple Agricultural Project was an intentional community in northwestern Guyana formed by the Peoples Temple, a cult led by Jim Jones. It became internationally notorious in 1978, when 909 members (234 were children) died in Jonestown from cyanide poisoning, in an event termed "revolutionary suicide" by Jones and some members on an audio tape of the event and in prior discussions.

This is the single greatest loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001.

The entrance from the terrace has a large window and glass door section which creates both light and space. The façade is clad in z-panel of three different widths and painted in a black hue with Falu rödfärg.

THE MANSOUR SHOW

2011-07-10T03:43:00.003+02:00

There's a tennis player who based his entire professional career on the what's the real engine of sports, the fans, entertaining them with unhuman trick shots and crazy comedic moments. His name is Mansour Bahrami.
As a child he worked as a ball boy, and unable to afford a racket of his own improvised with frying pans, and broom handles to teach himself the game. His progress was brought to an abrupt halt when the Islamic Revolution led to the banning of professional sport in Iran. He set off for France with his life savings, which he gambled in a casino and lost!

Now aged 30 he had missed his chance to make his mark on the professional game but still managed to reach the Finals of the French Open Doubles in 1989. Bahrami reluctantly withdrew from the circuit in the early 90s and when the Champions Tour came into being in 1993, Mansour had found his calling. He now spends over 40 weeks of the year playing in tournaments and exhibitions around the world.

THE RIVIERA BAY

2011-07-09T16:23:00.002+02:00

This year we're getting down with the summer sensation like we never did before. It's not about us, it's about the cool. And in this case it's about The Bay, one of the classiest tunes (and one of the best basslines) from the ultra talented english group Metronomy. Their third album English Riviera is simply outstanding, the perfect companion for shore cruising.

If you're wondering where have you heard this before maybe it's because you came here a few days ago... and casually listened/downloaded the Edwin Van Cleef's June mixtape.

NO PICKLES

2011-07-04T04:08:00.016+02:00

Instead of producing ten different pointless promos japanese jeans company Edwin choosed to promote his last collection with an enchanting Easy Rider style short. Hail to the Internet... once again.

The bike theme is partly due to the culture for customisation on the streets of the brand's home city - Tokyo - and simply down to the feelings one experiences riding a motorcycle with friends. A sense of freedom, and of sharing with others the same need for flight and independence. Customisation of ones own motorcycle parallels breaking in ones own denims, unique in spirit.

The true spirit of Edwin Jeans is created by the person living in them, making everyday count with yesterdays memories etched into the rich indigo fabric, in the knowledge that tomorrow’s good times are still to be created.

Custom bykes from Blitz Motorcycles France, custom Motorcycle Song by Arlo Guthrie.

CABLE TRIP

2011-06-30T05:12:00.006+02:00

Welcome to the beautiful world of Proun, an impressive racing game with a deep visionary environment of geometric objects, caleidoscopic rotations and colorful landscapes. The concept of Proun it's not really new-blown, I believe the first time we've seen something similar was on F-Zero X, but its development is simply state of the art; you don't crash into your opponents neither into walls, here you just avoid obstacles by rotating around a cable in order to gain as much speed as possible.

The retail price of it? It's up to you, this is not a game made for making cash. You can download it for free or you can give how much you think could be fair.

You may be wondering where such a thing comes from. This is straight out from The Netherlands, as dutch is also Igorsky, the author of the enchanting ambient music on the background.

VALUE ART

2011-06-29T16:28:00.001+02:00

Last year, artist James Charles has been engrossed in an interesting new project; small in

scale...but large in depth. He began drawing on dollar bills, for the sake of his own amusement; crudely altering the presidents’ faces to become monsters, celebrities, etc. After accidentally spending a few of his early pieces, James decided to stop carrying them in his wallet, and started putting them inside of a magazine for safe-keeping.

The magazine folder eventually became a large scrapbook, showcasing bills of all denominations. He found ink and materials to match perfectly what the U.S. Mint uses on the bank notes, and began to experiment with ways to alter the font and script along the bottom of the bills. It became the perfect way for James to inject an additional layer of wit.

Altering currency in this way also poses questions regarding the true value of paper bills, something made with seemingly insignificant materials – that somehow fuels our country’s ever- shifting economy, and ultimately impacts living conditions around the globe. James has put a wrench in the recirculation process by claiming his role as an artist, and declaring these specific bills are not currency, but art objects.

The Always entertaining Nowness platform brought us The Shoe, a little masterpiece of photoghrapy and music directed by André Saraiva. The French cultural provocateur collaborated with luxury footwear brand J.M. Weston for his debut as director, in which actor Leo Fitzpatrick plays a guileless thief whose material weaknesses trigger karmic repercussions. “The shoe thing was a reference to when I was a kid in the 80s; people used to steal expensive cool loafers,” Saraiva explains. “In America they used to steal your Air Jordans; in France they would steal J.M. Westons”.

For the soundtrack, Kitsuné chief Gildas Loaëc curated an indie setlist featuring The Virgins, Is Tropical and Vandaveer, among others.

Born in England and raised in Thailand, Hugo is the living proof that - as Hank Williams Jr. says - a country boy can survive, no matter where or what.

There’s an aura of late night heat and mystery in his music. His debut album Old Tyme Religion is quite an unconventional record, a mixture of styles and influences in which Hugo puts a tremendous country twist on the classic "99 Problems" as a tribute to the none other than Roc Nation founder Jay Z

IT'S JUST BEGUN

We already knew that Deep88's sound knowledge is unlimited, no wonder his last dj set is so terribly smooth and catchy at the same time.

NO KIDDING!

2011-06-20T16:15:00.003+02:00

You already know it, the Dallas Mavericks have won the first NBA title in the history of thefranchise. As this was not epic enough, this is also the first trophy for Jason Kidd and Dirk Novitzky, two of the most dominant players of the last decade, two future hall of famers who played their entire career in the same team, refusing to be mercenaries but choosing to become heroes for their town, their fans and their teammates. Like great players used to do back in the days, and like Lebron should have done.

HOW WE SHOULD ROLL

2011-06-14T16:52:00.014+02:00

First of all a huge thank you to our big friend Fresh Big Mouf for this very precious hint.

This is not just good hip hop music, this is an injection of positive energy and love. Mista Cookie Jar is a children's music performer/multi-instrumentalist/music & video producer extraordinaire. With his family band, Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips, they've toured all over the US promoting their blend of Urban Island Folky Rock and Roll for the Inner Child. He performs weekly at numerous Los Angeles elementary schools as part of Star Education's W.I.M. (Wonder Imagination Magic) Program. That's how he met LA teacher Mr. Valdez & his class and together started producing their year-long music project, "Room 28 (That's How We Roll)."

The song, which you can download here for free, features all 28 students of the classroom as well as Mr. V on the M-I-C. Both the song and video were crafted together as a class with Mr. Valdez and Mista Cookie Jar every Tuesday in the 2010 to 11 school year.

Now you can continue to listen to gangstas shooting and hustling around, while we go for kids with a big smile of their face. Music is not just about nodding heads, it's also one of the strongest and fastest way to get into people's mind, especially if they're youngsters. Positive music and good education goes together in order to create a better future. That's how we all should roll.

CUTTING PIPES

2011-06-12T02:00:00.002+02:00

What began as a 22-foot tall, 550-foot long halfpipe turned into a meticulously cut, one-of-a-kind cubed pipe with a series of take-off and landing areas.

With nothing in between, the pipe begs Dumont's world famous big airs and tricks to rise to a new level.

SHIBUYA CROSSING

2011-06-12T01:51:00.004+02:00

Born in Yokohama, Tadaomi Shibuya has a background in Product Design, gained from Tama Art University, Tokyo.

Citing influences such as Hip Hop culture, graffiti and classic Anime and Manga animations, Shibuya has evolved a style with a distinctly urban, si-fi, mechanical, feel. From tigers to stag beetles, perfect symmetry is found Shibuya’s many animal graphics and portraits, while his purely abstract works explore the raw elements of his forms where the imagination attempts to navigate indecipherable mazes.

LIQUID CONSCIOUSNESS

2011-06-11T01:14:00.004+02:00

Almost a billion people live without clean drinking water. We call this the water crisis. It's a crisis because it only starts with water -- but water affects everything in life. Health. Education. Food security. And the lives of women and children, especially.

We can end the water crisis in our lifetime. But first we have to let everyone know it's happening. Learn how water changes everything -- and share this with everyone you know.

INTO THE BLUE

Aurora Snow, the first EP by Blue Satellite has litteraly blown us outter space.

This is one of those cases when you hear something that sounds exactly like how you love music to feel like, forcing you to smile (scary thing, even the cover and the graphic theme is so Wwk style).

The synth and the bass are working amazingly toghether like astronauts floating in a spaceship. Fresh, smooth, classy, futuristic, funky, catchy, dreamy, groovy... i'm running out of adjectives here, I think it's better you just listen and njoy the liquid pop lockin' of master Kian.

Lil bonus the space cowboys out there, here's Wwk's first choice remix of Aurora pt.1.

GOODBYE DIESEL

2011-06-08T16:11:00.025+02:00

As the finals between Dallas and Miami are tied, we are still far to celebrate this year's champions. So today we choose to celebrate a true champion, one of the most dominant players of all times who retired just a few days ago after 19 years as a pro.

In his career, Shaquille O’Neal won four NBA championships and three NBA Finals MVP awards. He scored 28,596 career points and grabbed 13,099 rebounds.

Fellow NBA center Alonzo Mourning, who won a championship with O’Neal in 2006 when they played for the Miami Heat, said:

"When you think of the center position, his name will be mentioned in that breath, he has got to be easily in the top five of all times. You throw in Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain at the top, and then you have Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing and David Robinson. You have all those guys, but you can throw him in that top five easily, because of the amount of championships he has won."

It was a hell of a ride for sure, the only thing Shaq could regret is that he left 4,000 points in free throws. With just a few of those he could be one step higher on the NBA career scoring leaders.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...........................38,387
Karl Malone......................................36,928
Michael Jordan..................................32,292
Wilt Chamberlain...............................31,419
Shaquille O'Neal.................................28,596

WIIWERE... U!

2011-06-07T20:02:00.020+02:00

It's codename was Project Cafè but we've called it Wii 2, Wii hd and any other possible name. Well, Nintendo's next console has now been officially unveiled, and it's name is Wii U.

Its design is so similar to the Wii, and it's also retro compatible with all Wii games and Wii peripherals, but inside is so much powerful as it features high definition graphics.

Nintendo love to reinvent the rules of the game. They did it first with the DS'touch screen before any smartphone had one, than with the motion controls of the Wii and a few months ago with the stunning esperience of a 3DS blasting stuff in your face without any glasses. So it's not a surprise today they did it again with the innovative new tablet controller of the Wii U. It incorporates a 6.2-inch, 16:9 touch screen and traditional button controls, including two analog Circle Pads. This combination removes the traditional barriers between games, players and the TV by creating a second window into the video game world. The rechargeable controller also includes a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, rumble feature, camera, a microphone, stereo speakers, a sensor strip and a stylus.

It's going to hit the market (hopefully) in the first half of 2012, so we should have enough time to save our money.
