Hello my name is Yves and I am addicted to TWITTER.

Seriously, if you're looking at my lack of posts between now and early May and wondering what the heck happened... blame it on the tweetdeck. I know in my heart this is leading to something constructive but I can't figure out what it is yet because I never get to really finish a thought since I'm forced to keep them all under 160 characters.

With that being said FOLLOW ME! And if you're not on twitter bless your heart. Try and keep it that way for as long as possible. I would go into detail about how I feel social networking is actually creating psychological barriers during "real life" interaction but you can probably find hundreds of articles about that on your own.

So hey I'm going to try and get back in the swing of things and take you along for the ride. I'm dj'ing tonight at Karma Lounge in NYC.



I'll hopefully be spinning some dubstep and wonky if the crowd is right. The place is a hookah lounge from what I understand so they should be digging the vibes. I'm trying to take this act on the road people.

LET'S GO!

Silkie Interview

Check out the Blackdown blog for a great interview on one of my favorite dubstep producers Silkie.

Here's a snippet of the article and interview:

Even for a genre dominated by dubplates, 12"s and podcasts, my gut reaction tells me it will be a good year for dubstep or dubstep-affilated albums. With the Hyperdub album race underway (current front runner: Darkstar's, which I'm exceptionally excited about...) and Kryptic Minds' dark opus - not to mention a little something up my sleeve on Keysound, the album format may be about to hold its own this year.

In this company comes a very strong contender for album of the year, "City Limits Volume 1" by Silkie. Released on Mala's Deep Medi label, I've written about it in depth in my Pitchfork column this month, due live next week. But ahead of that, here's an interview with Silkie...

Hello Montreal

Sorry about the lack of updates I've been getting busy out in Montreal for the past week with old friends and meeting new family. Talk soon.

This past show was a trip, we had the studio shaking as usual. Right now we're in the planning stages for a late summer tour from San Fran to DC. Its like woe!



I don't think we played one old track for the duration of the set. We tried to put a major emphasis on artists from the US as well as playing a few tunes that, weren't necessarily dubstep, from local artists in CT, Mass, and New York. So enjoy the tunes and get your bass face ready.

Oh by the way we heard you guys were having some trouble with the zshare uploader so we put a streaming player up for you guys. SO DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LISTEN!!!

Time to get back to work, thanks for sticking with us people.

street life

During the G20 conference there was literally blood on the streets of London from protests against the banks. Here in the US though we've had a higher unemployment rate and greater loss of wealth here in the US due to bank failures. Fortune's Andy Serwer tries to briefly explain why he thinks we haven't seen the violent outbursts Europe has.


What do you think?

TOPSHOP NYC LAUNCH

I have no idea why I put the post title in all caps, its not like they pay me for subliminal advertising to try and convince you guys to go and check out their incredible selection which is like H&M's hotter older sister that makes you wish you had a reading list just so you can have "study group" with her, but yeah...



TOPSHOP just launched an NYC right down the street from the myriad of H&M's so expect the droves to move south because they have style for days. My girl went to the opening of this and said it looked like a Michael Jackson ticket line or something. Check em out and tell me if you see anything in a 32 waist 40 regular.

Oh yeah and they're hosting a contest to ship one of their lucky customers across the pond to London Fashion Week SS10. Check it out on their bloggy blog.

But yeah, only if you feel like it.
