FLUX MAGAZINE HAWAII

2010-07-22T06:10:00.000-07:00

One of my newest favorite publications is Hawaii based FLUX magazine. These guys are awesome. I got a copy of their Summer 2010 issue at an art event a few weeks and it hasn't left my coffee table since. Their photos are crisp and cool, their color schemes are fresh, articles interesting, overall; their just on top of their game. Here's a link to their website which by the way is also ultra dope.

WE LOVE TIM GREEN.

2010-07-21T06:06:00.000-07:00

"London based Tim Green is one of those producers who doesn't turn in a lot of filler tracks. For the most part when "TG" or Tim Green puts something out there, it has a strong sense of character and literally rocks a dancefloor to its core. There are few artists on the planet that are able to traverse genres and release music for such a wide range of labels, yet still have their own unique sound, Many world’s leading labels have recognized this, with Tim signing tracks and remixes on the likes of Get Physical, Cocoon, Dirtybird, Renaissance, Four:Twenty, Trapez, Cr2, Sci-tec, Southern Fried, Trapez and many more. Singles such as ‘Kitch-In’ ‘Mr.Dry’ ‘Revox’ & ‘Exercise’ have become anthems in the house and techno scene over the past 2 years. Whilst a string of high profile remixes for the likes of Tiefschwarz, Cassius, Claude Von Stroke, The Audio Bullys, Steve Lawler, Radioclit and more have further helped establish Tim as one of the most talked about producers of the past 2 years.

These talents have not gone unnoticed by the world biggest djs, and the level of support Tim has received on his productions has been quite staggering. The likes of Sven Vath, Pete Tong, Ritchie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Sasha & John Digweed, Josh Wink, Deadmu5, Tiefschwarz, Steve Lawler, MANDY, Dubfire, Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Slam, Claude Von Stroke, Nic Fanciulli, Steve Angello, Lee Burridge, Damian Lazerus, Anja Schnieder, and many more have consistently championed Tim’s music!

2010 looks set to be another huge year of growth for Tim as December 09 sees him release his second single with Sven Vath’s world famous Cocoon imprint entitled ‘Lone Time’. Whilst his huge remixes of Cassius & Claude Von Stroke get released in January 2010, and February sees his Debut release on Get Physical entitled ‘Old Sunshine’ which looks set to be Tim’s biggest release to date! With more singles nearly complete, and work already underway on Tim’s debut artist album, watch this space, as 2010 look set to be his biggest year yet!

So in just over 3 years, Tim has risen to working with the biggest djs and labels on the planet, and we haven’t even mentioned his djing yet! Tim has been found destroying dancefloors over recent times at some of the worlds best clubs such as Fabric, The End & T-Bar in London, Stealth in Nottingham, The Custard Factory Birmingham, Circus in Liverpool, Watergate, Tresor & The Weekend Club in Berlin, The Berlin Love Parade, Womb Tokyo, Compression LA, Airdrop New York, Tribe Festival in Brazil, Lost Baggage in Sydney, Mondo Madrid, Social Club Paris, Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon, Name Festival in Lille, The Hive in Zurich, The Loft Lausanne, Studio 80 & Sugar Factory in Amsterdam as well as a whole host of the best clubs in the world. This year alone has seen him do large tours of North America, South America & Australia and extensive European touring . It wont be long til you see the name Tim Green @ a club near you…."

DON'T SWEAT IT welcomes DJ KITTYLEE (7.11.10)

2010-07-09T06:02:00.000-07:00

This week at DSI we have special guest DJ Kitty Lee joining us. A local favorite, Kitty Lee has held residencies at all your favorite Honolulu "get downs". Her style is fresh, her look is unique, her skills are tight, Don't Sweat it welcomes; DJ Kitty Lee.

"Regulars of Chinatown’s eclectic night scene have become obsessed with the swanky styles of DJ Kitty Lee. By all accounts the feeling is mutual.

Some just go to visit the music-rich area on occasion, but Lee calls it home.

“Chinatown is where it’s at as far as the underground music scene. I’m super stoked to be part of this dope scene,” said the Nextdoor and Bar 35 resident spinstress. “I’m also stoked on new clubs opening such as Loft, SoHo, and soon-to-come The Manifest. All together they make for great bar hopping and have a little something for everyone.”

Thank Herbie Hancock for getting her hooked on techno. Exploring the rave scenes in Arizona and Oregon showed her the power of electronica first hand and eventually played a part in her drive to perpetuate dance music in Kona.

The wonder chick’s appeal begins with her innate ability to completely capture the mood of a place and translate that into the perfect vibe to rock out to. The end result is always a win-win situation for her and the crowd.

“You got to play for the people. Otherwise you’re just playing what you want to hear and not paying attention,” she said. “My personal goal every night that I play music is to keep people dancing and drinking, and to not get any requests. To me that means I played the perfect tracks at the perfect time.” " - HONOLULU WEEKLY

GET TO KNOW: DJ PATIFE

2010-06-24T08:13:00.000-07:00

Brazil conjures up so many ideas in my mind. Amazonia, deep latin tropics, foreign food, beautiful people, amazing music... I could go on.

One of the countries most talented music producers is DJ Patife of Sao Paulo. A former protoge' of DJ Marky's; Patife came into his own during the Brazilian Drum & Bass movement of early 01-03.
A consistent producer, Patife's music crosses genres and purely encapsulates Brazilian soul music.

My roomate hikes, he hikes ALOT. During a conversation with him about his favorite hike while musing in my head about how much I love living here, I decided to raid his facebook and post these photos (with his consent of course - sorta). It's not always about the hype sometimes it's just about where you are.
