Oh, hai “that time of year again,” didn’t hear you come in – well, have a seat and make yourself comfortable. I’m not spectacular at year-end reviews… I prefer life like I prefer my albums: gapless. That said, I hat-tipped five artists, songs, and albums that made me pause and take time to jot the time and place – year included – over the last 300-someodd days; and five creations that embodied and encapsulated sonic aesthetic for 2011. To the five I take, to have and to hold; forever like a TrapperKeeper, Pop safe in the fold. #enjoi
Maroon 5′s “Moves Like Jagger” is one of those songs you want to hate, but it’s so damn catchy you’re more likely to find yourself humming along. Atlanta based producer/DJ Savvy Society, gives the track his own spin. Gone is the poppy bounce, here is the smooth seductive sound Savvy has become known for.
Earlier we put you on to “Vice,” the first drop from Savvy Society’s new mixtape Subway In Harlem 2: Breakfast in Philly. Today that said project is released.

“I had a woman down for me…
Now I’m realizing that I love her”

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.
New Jersey born producer Savvy Society is preparing to release his latest project Tribal Dance presented by Art Nouveau & GreatEclectic. Here’s another song of the project entitled “Call My Name” featuring Antonio Stapleton & Sye Spence. Listen and download “Call My Name” below.
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.
Art Nouveau Magazine is pleased to present Want To See A Sad Boy Smile? Pay Him, the debut solo exhibition by artist/designer GreatEclectic at Studio 900 in Atlanta, GA. GreatEclectic gives viewers a glimpse into his elaborate rants and musings on fame, power, money, love, the rise and the fall and our generation’s obsession with celebrity. His signature aesthetic evokes a unique combination of pop culture semiotics and art history paired with a vibrant narrative. Works in the exhibition range from mixed media collages, to drawings, paintings and photography.
This past Thursday, we celebrated three years of Art Nouveau Magazine with some very special guests. Brooklyn based rapper Theophilus London made his debut at the show will also featured showstopping performances by Tendaberry, theDOLLDAZE, Rahbi (aided by two strippers, yes strippers!), Ethereal, Aware and many many more. The scene was set to look like a circus featuring visuals from Atlanta’s visual army of GreatEclectic, Sean Fahie, Paper Frank and Corinne Stevie. Check out this video recap shot by K.D.
Music is feeling. That’s why it is always the most important part of a party. If the music ain’t hitting, how are you supposed to get your life? We got you covered this Thursday. Our Anniversary party is set to go there musically. We have DJ sets by Ethereal, GreatEclectic and Savvy Society, pop up performances by Tendaberry, RAHBI, theDOLLDAZE, Corinne Stevie, BOSCO and more and Theophilus London’s Atlanta debut. If you’re unfamiliar with any of the music, get familiar before Thursday. It’s bassy, it’s dancey, it’s pop, but it’s so not pop. But, here’s what our 3rd year anniversary party is going to sound like.
Here’s a goodie I’ve been saving on my mac for myself. Just thought I’d share. It’s that good. Atlanta based producer Savvy Society mixed “Afromerica,” the sample for Kanye West’s single “Power” with Major Lazer’s “Pod De Floor” and A-Trak’s mix of Drake’s “Money To Blow” for Tabloid. Savvy Society’s upcoming project Tribal Dance features new songs by indie music darlings like Sye Spence, Corinne Stevie, Richelle L. Brown, Jay Scott & more will be released soon.
