When I get back from outer space I might notice the little things. Time for instance. Whether good times are in abundance or not, the clock is still rolling. Or the unrelenting love from peers. And especially the unashamed smile in my mother’s voice when I tell her I’m moving home to Miami, and not New York. I call it trading hustles for muscles.
As a child, I always loved stories. My favorite ones were the ones like “The Wizard of Oz” or “Alice In Wonderland”. A child escaping her humdrum town and landing in a magical world of the bizarre and mystifying all while having the absolute time of their lives with some seedy and unique characters. Fadia Kader’s CMYK show hosted by Atlanta based musician, Bosco was just that for me, except I’m not sure if Alice or Dorothy were offered PBRs during the duration of their adventures.
I know you’ve heard from somebody–N*E*R*D will be in Atlanta May 25. As a part of Coors Light’s recent Search for the Coldest N*E*R*D along with Pac Div will play at an invitation-only concert. Good thing is we have 10 of those tickets and we want to give them to you!
The force is strong with this one. On June 1, Artist/graphic designer PaperFrank will debut new works in an exhibition entitled “Afro Picks and Bunny Suits 2″ at Archive Gallery. All work and merchandise will be for sale. If you’re in Atlanta and want to know where the art scene is heading, you need to make it out to this show.
It’s Sunday evening at the New Era store in Downtown, Atlanta. The hat store is buzzing with life as media and fans begin to pack in for the event that is set to take place: a free J*Davey performance. The crowd isn’t your typical, you’ve got the J*Davey fans mingling with the urban New Era crowd and usually it would be a recipe for disaster, but tonight everything is just fine. After all the promise of Starbucks party platters, wings and Jose Cuervo is enough to make anyone get along.
Spencer Greene aka Savvy Society is a New Jersey born, Atlanta based Producer/DJ who I’ve been familiar with for sometime now. In all actuality, he’s like my little brother from another mother. The self-described ‘anti-hipster’ grew up on house and club music, so it’s no wonder that his sound is sexy a mix of jazzy synths that would make Pharrell coo and banging beats that evoke the tribal thump of both Africa and the fidget bass of Baltimore club music.
It’s officially spring. The birds are chirping. Pimps and players are flirting. And the girls? Well depending on who you ask, they run the world. It wouldn’t be spring without a tribute to the girls, girls, girls.
I’ve never met GreatEclectic, but I know him quite well. I’ve never felt more innately connected to someone with whom I’ve never shared conventional contact; but that is the beautiful mystery that is the Great Mister Daye. He conveys and connects with the world and the one individual alike, because he is his work; as with any masterpiece, that connection lives in the unconventional void – where authenticity cannot be barred by limitation, and catharsis cannot be marred by sterile sanity. He lives in his work – it is in that shared space where I feel, and it is in that shared experience where life is present.
It ain’t a drug making her do it. It ain’t her boyfriend making her do it. Maybe this video is making her do it. But it’s all in the music. These are words by singer/songwriter RAHBI that appear on “What’s That Sound.” You may remember this song as the infectious opening track for Art Nouveau & GreatEclectic’s music compilation Noise Porn. We’re back with more new music. The New Jersey born producer Savvy Society is preparing to release his latest project Tribal Dance presented by Art Nouveau & GreatEclectic.
The girl on the step in front of me is twerking so hard that every time she makes her butt clap, my face gets pimp slapped by a jiggling cheek. I’ve tried blaming it on the angle of the steps that are causing her derriere to be right in my eye line, but I’ve never been good at lying to myself. I’ve tried to put it all on her and tell myself that no human without a medical history of epilepsy should be shaking that hard, but considering that I’m a fan of discotechs I’m finding too much fault with that theory.
Steven Van‘s mission is simple: transform mundane corporate and residential spaces into bold and most times provocative environments. With a contemporary flare that still screams to be seen in galleries, The Washington State based artist creates some pretty awesome Art Nouveau inspired work. This Art Nouveau, not this one. Steven Van is Art Novueau’s Artist of the Week.
