Smash Collective : Ryan Lee x Eric Wedum
August 2nd, 2011
Smash Collective is the collaborative show between two Denver based designers/artists Ryan Lee and Eric Wedum. Their process is self described as being “free-formed and organic. Each addition to every piece was done in a silo away from the others opinion and art direction. Only coming together to decide on photos to be used and color choices. We were interested in exploring where each of our styles would collide with the others. The series grew and evolved as the months past, it melded and turned into something cohesive.”
Smash Collective opens Friday August 5th at The Infinite Monkey Theorem
931 West 5th Avenue. Denver, CO : 5pm – 10pm
Death Grips
July 28th, 2011
Recently stumbled onto Death Grips through the video above. Hard to classify the sound… hip hop (ish) vocals on top of fuzzed out madness. Check out their Exmilitary album currently available as a free download from their site.

Amon Tobin – ISAM
June 13th, 2011
It’s been nearly four years since Amon Tobin has come out with a new album. Fortunately, in the case of Amon Tobin, his albums tend to get better and to grow more experimental with each new project regardless of the space in between them.
Isam, the first of three expected releases set for 2011, appears to be taking a powerful stab at a full audio/visual experience as well as an indescribable list of other interesting marketing tactics and design choices.
Stream the full album (as of right now) for free, on Amon’s Soundcloud page as well as his site.
Wise Words From Mr Bingo
May 25th, 2011
Fantastic words of wisdom from the talented Mr Bingo. Unfortunately, most clients don’t get this and wouldn’t dare to engage in a open discussion about money or the value of experience.

In the midst of many other exciting projects, plans and collaborations, I’ve been working with Brooklyn rapper / DJ, Jasmine Solano on the design for her most recent release, “Turn It Up”. This is Jasmine’s second official release and is a precursor for an EP scheduled to drop sometime this summer.
Check out the video below, featuring Hollywood Holt and production from Junior Sanchez.

Supakitch and Koralie
May 8th, 2011
I just came across a really well done video shot for Supakitch and Koralie‘s mural project at the Världskultur Museet in Gothenburg, again, tonight, while doing some research and wanted to share. A video that manages to reveal a peek into an artists process without being pesky or overbearing, always manages to capture my attention; not to mention the music is pretty on point.
Grab the track on iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/color-in-your-hands-ep/id425346042

Hooray for Earth – True Loves Video
May 4th, 2011
There’s nothing better than coming across new and unfamiliar music and a fantastic video to compliment it.
I was just as excited to find out that the video was directed by the extremely talented Young Replicant, who also did the “Lovely Bloodflow” video for Baths.
Check out more music from Hooray for Earth here.

Mike Perry – Studio Visit
April 29th, 2011
I thought that this short visit to Mike Perry‘s studio was a very good representation of his character… and shared a more candid side of not only Mike, but the work he does and the things that make him Mike Perry. Enjoy.

Noisia – Split Atoms
April 27th, 2011
I just came across a pretty solid album from Noisia today, packed full of violently aggressive drum samples and swells of destructive bass. If you’re looking for something to tear the veneer off the walls or to help you get through an overnighter, Split Atoms is the album.
The track above features Foreign Beggars, who is also worth a listen if you’re unfamiliar.
