Parra x Alife x Parra Soundsystem Party

The Parra (RE:UP #10) Powerhouse continues to grow via the Parra clothing label, Rockwell. In collaboration with Alife, the “Everybody Mid Rap” shoes were released yesterday in Amsterdam at Patta. To promote the U.S. release, the Parra Soundsystem (Is there anything Parra isn’t involved with these days?) will be putting down a set at Alife’s […]

Newport Beach Film Festival

Thanks to Saba and our friends at Q&A we were able to peep out a wee bit of the Newport Beach Film Festival this past weekend. The last film festival I went to–and Josh can attest to this–sucked. It was the Sundance Film Festival in 2003 and we (thought we) had the privilege to deejay […]

Crystal Castles on a Tear

Toronto-based, but constantly touring Crystal Castles, continue to make an impression with their 8-bit video game electro style. Part thrash, part dance, part pop and part Nintendo Mario Bros, the cacophonous, often violent sound made for one rowdy, very physical performance.

They’re back like crack & RE:UP Magazine! The Orb to release new album

The news of The Orb releasing another album this June just flashed across my desk and instantly flooded my mind with flashbacks of hazy late night trances while listening to Alex, Youth and company while experiencing NY “rave” culture in the early nineties (yes, I’m getting long in the fake tooth). The genius of this […]

Burial Inna DJ-Kicks Stylee

!K7 is buzzing on the announcement that the next installment in the DJ-Kicks series comes from the hugely acclaimed, underground dubstep producer BURIAL at the end of June. The South London producer is notoriously shy of press and public performances yet his last two albums on Kode 9’s Hyperdub label have established him as one […]
