clash of the titans... canceled

I was REALLY looking forward to this. Actually had an excuse to go back to Australia but unfortunately its been "postponed" for the time being. From the sound of things they're trying to bring it stateside so we'll have to wait with baited breath until then.

I'm trying to head out to LA after this feature I'm working on in NYC wraps up to paint and chill for a few weeks. A whole heap of things a gwan so when I get a moment to breath I'll update you.

In the meantime keep painting, writing, shooting, and staying inspired.

DustMagnet @ HomeBass Radio WPKN 89.5FM

Okay so this had to be the trippiest guest dj set we've had so far on the show. Here at HomeBass we encourage experimentation but we didn't know what to expect when we invited the walking question mark and sound artist know as DustMagnet. He hails from Bridgeport by way of Maine and London somehow, and he definitely left a couple of listeners permanently scarred.

Check out the clip and download his hour long set below...

I like big BIKES and I cannot lie

My neighbor gave me her bmx before she moved out of my building. This is probably the best gift I've received all year. My car is getting rusty as we speak because me and this here bike have a special connection.

Plus I built a little hangar for it. See:

The 40oz Bounce in Harlem

This is some footage shot and compiled by Nunnie of the 40oz bounce a couple weekends ago in Riverside Park, Harlem.

I was at Afro Punk in BK that day so I couldn't make it but the crew was definitely representing.

Thanks for this Ivan.

Straight heat rocks folks. DJ Imager stopped through to teach us a thing or two about soulful drum & bass. The studio was pretty packed out, we thought Bob Sagat was about to walk through the door because it was a full house.

Hello my name is Yves and I am addicted to TWITTER.

Seriously, if you're looking at my lack of posts between now and early May and wondering what the heck happened... blame it on the tweetdeck. I know in my heart this is leading to something constructive but I can't figure out what it is yet because I never get to really finish a thought since I'm forced to keep them all under 160 characters.

With that being said FOLLOW ME! And if you're not on twitter bless your heart. Try and keep it that way for as long as possible. I would go into detail about how I feel social networking is actually creating psychological barriers during "real life" interaction but you can probably find hundreds of articles about that on your own.

So hey I'm going to try and get back in the swing of things and take you along for the ride. I'm dj'ing tonight at Karma Lounge in NYC.



I'll hopefully be spinning some dubstep and wonky if the crowd is right. The place is a hookah lounge from what I understand so they should be digging the vibes. I'm trying to take this act on the road people.

LET'S GO!

Silkie Interview

Check out the Blackdown blog for a great interview on one of my favorite dubstep producers Silkie.

Here's a snippet of the article and interview:

Even for a genre dominated by dubplates, 12"s and podcasts, my gut reaction tells me it will be a good year for dubstep or dubstep-affilated albums. With the Hyperdub album race underway (current front runner: Darkstar's, which I'm exceptionally excited about...) and Kryptic Minds' dark opus - not to mention a little something up my sleeve on Keysound, the album format may be about to hold its own this year.

In this company comes a very strong contender for album of the year, "City Limits Volume 1" by Silkie. Released on Mala's Deep Medi label, I've written about it in depth in my Pitchfork column this month, due live next week. But ahead of that, here's an interview with Silkie...

Right now Deep Medi can do no wrong. for more click here
