Not to leave some of you who were zoned in on street wear and the fashion community in the dark, but it's time to switch gears to another topic and something that takes up a great part of my life and it's road so far(which has been pretty fuckin' bumpy). i know, you're thinking "this kids got ADD or something WTF i love clothes,"....chill the fuck out in the meantime and check out my friend who is promoting a really great cause that's profit benefits a bunch of different foundations(unlike TOM who gives shoes to Africa but secretly makes a shit ton and donates no profit...thanks for the sneaks, they're still starving.) Anyway, the links below, the man(who i'm sure doesn't mind being revealed) is Jon berg, great company..great cause.

And the guy knows what he's doing. great website and a great mind for creativity, go get a tee and support a cause!
Any who, Music, Not one day can i go through (seldom) without having something stuck/get stuck in my head. When i was younger i developed a love early for Hip-hop(thuggin' at a young age so to speak) and really got engulfed in that. Dr. Dre Chronic album along with more Eminem than i can list in a manageable to-read post. Today, i listen to anything that's as far away from mainstream as possible(which depends on what spotlight/how you perceive mainstream). I haven't turned on my radio in 4/5 months and lost hope in a radio god long long ago (Ha Ha). Whilst being in college for the past three years and seeing the development of hip hop and all other genres I've changed my perception of music time and time again. EDM is a culture in itself. composed of people who share the experience at a lifetime at some of the most premiere festivals across the nation. Much like Hip Hop it hit its peak(more in recent years some would debate that statement).Some even internationally are taking debate to it hitting its peak in the past 20 years...right now, in 2013. Whatever the case i have the privilege of knowing some pretty fucking cool people with unparalleled skill in EDM..(I know Rappers, that'll be another post). These guys all come From the Sunshine State and post extremely different styles and backgrounds. My first showcase- A Really good hometown friend, Kyle Rich. First of the man already has his Degree, from well renowned Full Sail University(so he already one ups the majority of these guys preforming). The kid knows what he's doing, Dubstep that mixes a hip hop influence and dirty/insatiable beat, once you hear some you have to hear more. He preforms up at Firestone Live for anybody in O-town that wants to see some real genuine made from scratch music, he's your man. Here's to getting to listen to some quality sound instead of the shit they pump through your car stereo, cheers

Soundcloud.com/Goldmob(this one to a collab he's working on, some reeeeal Trapstyle/ genuinely good dubstep)
Another guy i used to have the pleasure with working with, also in the bay also going to school and studying up on the arts has some pretty reputable stuff and he's getting his feet on the ground runnin'. For those who know me know i love creativity and he gives the beat a low-end feel all its own. T-Spang, everyone

Really good kid, hustlin' and stayin' green.
Another one, i actually just realized about 30 minutes ago i had zoned out to while writing this post. Not much music really captivates me. When it does, it sets my mood..it doesn't make me dance around or sing along but more or less really just focus. Lyrically i'll love to cipher any new joint out. But most lyrical music i listen to doesn't really capture me. Mono lakes is the name a gentleman i still have the pleasure of working with, is a divine sound unlike most electronic music. Using nothing more than a drum machine on his last EP, Anthony (Mono Lakes) combines instruments with electronic sound and various samples to make a smooth flowing and captivating tone. various artists i can name songs from, seldom locally...whether its Refresh (with an ironically light refreshing tone light bass) or normality(with the usage of guitar riff and looping certain parts making a fluid sounding piece.)i wish/would elaborate more on all of these guys but many more posts to come. But anyway, here ya go.

Good Music, Good Guys, Enjoy
And anybody out there who has a local talent, Hit me up and I'll do what i can.
Pretty good connections at local venues.

Couldn't have said it better. Better to give up everything and experienced what you wanted then be controlled your whole life and get by. but hey, what does this guy know
Until next time, should be fun waking up in 4 hours.
