Tonight's set features the UKs Daz-I-Kue from the Bugz in the Attic crew. Fan's of broken beat, jazzy breaks, and good old soulful house know that the Bugz - along with other contemporaries such as Jazzanova - have been pioneering these sub-genres across the pond for a while now. Their recent remix of Ruben Blades Plastico on the excellent Fania remix compilation is on constant rotation in my studio and a perfect example of the breath of their work (sample found here). Get your Monday dance on! 21+

The short comes in the form of Art in the Middle, a 30 minute tale that "reveals the unlikely relationship of California sculptor Bret Price and the town of New Bremen, Ohio." And the feature presents Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project which "captures the creative genius of French photographer and installation artist Georges Rousse and follows the artist and hundreds of volunteers during a September 2006 public art residency in Durham, North Carolina. The film reveals the complex process of creating Rousse's signature trompe l'oeil illusions of color and shape that ultimately become the stunning large format color photographs exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide." 21+ Posted by Chris at 7:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Urban RenaissanceDate: Monday, June 2nd "The 'Urban Renaissance' art exhibit will feature three of New York’s blossoming artists (Dister Rondon and Diana Reyes) and three of New York’s emerging photographers (Dwayne Rodgers, Barron Claiborne, Alaric Campbell).

And whenever you add something new, everything has to be reorganized for your new treasures. Well, sometimes things get left out of the adjustment and - if your like me - you end up with that pile of treasures buried in the corner of the room or back of the closet. Thrift On is a great way to share those beautiful bits with perfect strangers. Bring the stuff you don't want anymore, takes someone elses stuff home. Clothing is okay too. DJ Shakey and Man "S" spin 2nd hand records while you rummage and sip drinks.
