Listening to the current Slang Tang podcast for breakfast, I strongly recommend checking out Sonido del Principe´s myspace. Also, DJ Negro´s “Mundo Querido” and Daniel Haaksman´s remix of Madera Limpia´s “Loco” are pretty mental.
I don´t know if it´s a good thing that the people over at HighSnobiety can´t even spell reggae - I guess it is if they keep promoting shoes like these pretty ugly “New Balance Raggae”…
Just back from BK, I´d like to share a nice cozy spot which was recommended to us as a “wicked bar where I sometimes spin reggae tunes” by Neil Nice, a friend working at TurnTableLab.
It´s called Spur Tree and it´s located in the Lower East Side, NYC (the exact address is 76 Orchard Street, NY 10002, between Broome and Grand); easily identified by a big red sign with a black tree on it.
Read the whole article here.
Nope. No New York story again. But good news still: I just put Shook magazine issue numero 2 (spring) in the shop. It´s dope as the grilled corn with mayo, parmesan and lime from the Habana Outpost food truck (and it looks as good as the ladies standing in line there). Trust me.
P.S. Also listen to this (Mad Decent on Fairtilizer), laugh at those (Jonathan Sabine´s pieces) and read that (The New Yorker on auto tune).
Lodown magazine #61 is out and features FIRST´s “Thursday Night at the Fights” story (pictures by Peter Dean Rickards, words by JJ). Go get your copy now.
I have to admit that I´m not a gamer at all. However, I rate great design and I love good music. GTA IV seems to have both. You´ve probably read in this blog that Mavado delivered the soundtrack to the trailer. Today, Dancehall Mobi reports that
The final release of Grand Auto Theft IV also includes music from Bob Marley and son, Damian Marley (a duet called “Stand Up Jamrock”), as well as Munga Honourable’s “No Fraid”.
Nice. However, what I find almost more interesting, is that the people from Rockers NYC
had the opportunity to style two characters in GTA4, Little Jacob and Real Badman – Jamaican gangsters and gunrunners for the main character, Niko Bellic. Little Jacob can be seen wearing our Evil Heat hoodie, and keep an eye out for a vintage Rockers NYC “No Surrender” tee in the GTA4 mission “Jamaican Heat”.
Check the picture above to see what a great job they´ve done.
