Went to Japan with FMK(viva viva), JSN, and Pres of Oh W.O.W. to holler at our Sapporo and Tokyo family.

Verbal of M-flow / teriyaki boyz served us cake.

We had a dance off with Exile

Finally Built a synthesizer and theremin

went disco bowling with Takayo of Yone’s camp and Thunderbirds

Yone found us the best sake in japan

Picked up a couple records

Found peace in the middle of chaos

Scared the crap out of the honeyee door guy

Made friends with underlings

Outdrank Oi punks from the erections

Back home safe, but jetlagged. Thank you Fumkia and Jsn and Sapporo Family, Takayo, Yone, Chie, Kojiro, JJ, Lin, Shinchi, and the rest of Japan.

Some of NYC’s best DJ’s join together for Kon’s fundraiser at Santo’s Party House.

Acclaimed DJ, legendary digger and our good friend Kon (of Kon & Amir fame) has been hospitalized lately which has left his pockets flat, not fat. Come out and celebrate helping the homie out, with some of New York’s illest DJs. On the set:

DJ SPINNA,
RICH MEDINA,
ELI ESCOBAR,

DJ SCRATCH,

Come and Support a brother in arms whose numerous contributions to society have kept asses moving, souls soaring, and panties dropping.

The most important summit of art directors in North America took place this past weekend (possibly an overstatment) in Maine with a party dog named Gus. Friends with You, Freegums, David Choe , Jen Stark, Nick Z , Oh Wow Gallery, NY & LA affiilates, and our crew headed up north to eat french fries, shop for books and play cards. Sam’s 30th birthday was celebrated and friendships solidified.

It’s really inspiring to see how art can free people. These tribes just travel the earth creating installations with each other and share a glimpse of their world each time the touch the land.

Rumors of a giant Hello Kitty ride, a Neckface Halloween show in Miami and a four armed grimace doll have surfaced. Many thanks to the whole gang that hosted- especially the kind hearted soul of Judd Katz from Crispin Porter + Bogunsky.

jen stark!
friends with you bounce house in vegas rite now ….de la soulllll is dere

R.I.P. DJ AM

This is really a sad year for music as another great musician passes away. Not much to say with words. We must remember what he gave to the world and celebrate his life. Amazing turntablist and party rocker, he inspires a generation.

Haven’t had the pleasure of hearing him play? Here’s one of his flawless, thoughtful, and maddeningly creative live mixes:
DJ AM live set from Banana Split 07 LA

His mixtape with Travis Barker

Sad sad sad……

Diggers with Gratitude……

I just designed the flyer for my homey DJ Kon’s fundraiser(and i’m also playing it)

In case you didn’t know already, every Boston DJ’s favorite DJ has been in and out of the hospital and unable to play his gigs for the last few weeks. Since Kon DJs for a living NO GIGS = NO INCOME!! A few of us have already donated money from gigs to
Kon, but now it’s time for everyone to step up for a great DJ and an even better friend…

$10 SUGGESTED DONATION

EVERY PENNY GOES TO KON + you get to hear Kon
inspired music from Amir, Supreme One, 7L, Ms Thang, Gucci Vuiton & Soul Clap!!!

Dime magazine recently leaked their list of the top 50 sneaker shops in the world. Click here to see if your favorite shop make the list.

Also, just wanted to shout out the allmighty nike for seeding me with some new prototypes. Keep the heat coming….

Our friend Esteban recently finished a short documentary on Pablo Escobar’s (the 7th richest man in the world in 1989 according to Forbes) personal photographer for VBS. Check it out Below.

Last time I was out in nyc for that g-shock /kanye party, Este took me to an east village speakeasy named cabin to say what’s up to our homey Mike from dead trees who was slinging beers to supermodels before heading out for a couple dates in Brazil.

That was after earlier festivities w/ Greg & Ease of Mishka who run two parties that night…..one with Andy from the Smiths Djing:

and the second one was mad hipstered out w/ 45 people taking photos -even the village voice has a slideshow up- while Darth Bano from Ninjasonik played in the ex-massage parlour known as Happy Endings…..the party was aptly named popping bottles and getting pregnant and marked the release of Darth’s mixtape for Mishka’s rad mix series….you can download here.

Lastly, our friend Meighan writes for Juxtapoz & her own site - My love for you is a stampede of horses

Please vote for her to win the shortlist arts & culture site prize from Dazed & Confused Magazine.
She writes about new artists pretty(as opposed to the same 20 that seem to get all the press in the world) much every day and has an incredible eye and deserves to win. She will also be curating the upcoming October art show at our space - fourth wall project.

Sometimes when you answer an interview, you know what quote they’re going to pull and put in blockquotes. The Weekly Dig recently surveyed a bunch of crews - bladerunners, bruno, jayceeoh, kon, fully fitted - about what makes a good remix and they pulled the following quote from me regarding the johnny blaze mix called “black sheep”

it sounds like a unicorn giving birth to rainbows while in the backseat of a cadillac going 95 mpg through harlem

anyways, we’re playing the release party for this issue…

My homeys Kon and the Bodega Girls are playing this Sat w/ Peanut Butter Wolf For free…free dranks also

And Pete the dude's sneaker pimps tour is coming Saturday as well....all ages.
