Something to think about:
There is a home for creatives in between poverty and stardom. Somewhere lower than stratospheric bestsellerdom, but higher than the obscurity of the long tail. I don’t know the actual true number, but I think a dedicated artist could cultivate 1,000 True Fans, and by their direct support using new technology, make an honest living. (via Signal vs. Noise)
Something to listen or subscribe to: Addicted to Race Premium
If you’re at all interested, here’s an interview for the Addicted To Race Premium podcast, one of the most consistently intriguing places for cutting-edge dialogue on race and culture. I was really honored to be asked to participate. (via Can´t Stop Won´t Stop)

Hm. Guess which brand´s marketing team screwed up once more promoting a Jamaican athlete at Olympic games… Need a hint? Tom Fordyce from the BBC can help you out.
Find out more about the campaigns at www.chasingbolt.com and www.nikelab.com. Get more information on the Jamaican sprinters on the New York Time´s website.

Listening to the current Slang Tang podcast for breakfast, I strongly recommend checking out Sonido del Principe´s myspace. Also, DJ Negro´s “Mundo Querido” and Daniel Haaksman´s remix of Madera Limpia´s “Loco” are pretty mental.

Just wanna big up Chris from SoulForce for representing seen. in the current issue of Riddim magazine (I didn´t buy it myself – a friend showed me ;-)) and thank Markus from Juice for promoting some of our current stuff in Europe´s number one HipHop mag.

Wow, it has been quite a while since I last put stuff up here. I originally planned to constantly blog from NYC, but the weather turned out to be just too sweet, the people we met just too nice and the nights we went out just too long for me being able to find the time to do so. Right now, I´m summarizing all the stuff that made offline life in BK, the LES and around very enjoyable.
In the meantime, I strongly recommend to read FIRST (mad many updates recently) and DJ C´s mini-essay about the future of turntables, look at the Fader blog´s review of the fashion week in JA, listen to this tropical mix from Geko Jonez (Dutty Artz), check the first tune from Roots Manuva´s new album and use this tool in case you´re still bored.
Lata.
P.S. All products ordered during my vacation have been shipped by now and should arrive in your mailboxes in the course of the upcoming days.
