Weekend Warriors!

By: Josh Wills

FEB_DENVER

Wake up sleepy giants… it’s time to gather up all the flammables and light Denver on fire this weekend. There are a handful of rad events over the next few days, and all are all relatively close to each other making it more than a possibility to blaze through them all. This Friday is none other than Fresh Friday…. Both Larimer and Broadway will be heating up with art shows and such. And… I highly encourage all to swing through Cervantes on Saturday… as I’ll be doing the electric boogaloo and a few Pelvic Thrust Uppercuts™ whilst enjoying some supple beats. If you know of any other beat happenings dropping on Denver this weekend please post up in the comments… let’s get social!

Friday Night:
A · Crema :: New artwork from Robbie Maestas :: DJ Elbeau :: 2862 Larimer Street Denver
B · Andenken :: Pink Collar Glam – works by Denver’s emerging female artists :: 2990 Larimer Street Denver

DIE ANTWOORD

By: Lifter Baron

I just came across Die Antwoord yesterday via Twitter — undoubtedly the best thing I’ve seen all week. Not only do this get me excited all over again for new music, but it makes me wonder what sort of other hidden gems are coming out of South Africa right now. These guys are dropping some serious sociopolitical rhymes laced with some atypical cuts and samples. Ninja’s rap style is anything but sleepy… if you take a peek at their live performance you’ll surely be just as impressed. Regardless if you are into this type of music, it’s within your best interest to swing by their site (which happens to be just as awesome as the rest of their videos and materials) a learn up on all that they are. Impressive and without a doubt original.

 

The Acceleration of Tranquility by Mark Helprin

By: Todd Berger

After an evening of deep philosophical and sociological discussion focused on such topics as personal responsibility, innovation, and family my dear friend Jill dropped The Acceleration of Tranquility on me.  It’s a beautiful and wonderfully thought provoking piece of literature written by Mark Helprin for  the December 1996 issue of Forbes Magazine.  Have a read if you’re so inclined.

Donnis Interview

By: Anthony Hull

ATL-reppin’, MC Donnis spent a lot of 2009 climbing the hip-hop ranks with live performance videos, profuse freestyles, and attention-getting tracks that leaked much to our delight. Having a mixtape with 10 Deep ain’t a bad thing either, just ask Kid Cudi and Wale.

All this grindin’ brought Donnis a deal to release the single “Gone”, with a video under A-Tracks, Fool’s Gold label. I recently caught up with Donnis to talk music, plans for 2010, his fashion game, and how he is definitely no longer the underdog.

RIDING THE LONG WHITE CLOUD: A BIKE+SKATE FILM

By: Juan Alberto De la Roca

Friendly Fire Productions is releasing a film titled ‘Riding The Long White Cloud’, a story centered on skating and bicycling. It’s is a collaboration between Color Magazine and Fuel TV and follows a group of pro skaters on a bike tour of New Zealand.

The story line is intriguing because last summer was the first year I found myself not mountain biking in a really long time. Never got out once. Living in Denver made it hard to get out on dirt…so I picked up a sweet Bianchi steel cross bike and started riding to various metro skateparks. It was awesome and got me thinking of other bike/skate trips…

This summer I hope to see how many parks can be ridden to in one day. Thinking 7 is definitely possible. But now that I’ve seen this film trailer it makes we want to up the ante a little. With the state full of primo skate destinations the radius to explore gets wider…Anyone down for some riding and skating as the weather gets warm?

 

Joseph Shaeffer – Encroachment

By: Todd Berger

Joseph Shaeffer has turned a corner and entered into a new phase of his work.  Encroachment is the start to a new body of three-dimensional ideas addressing Mother Natures ability and quite possibly ingrained desire to reclaim what is rightly hers.  I’m looking very forward to experiencing Shaeffer’s manifestation of this new vision.
