This past weekend I got a chance to attend what I expected to be one of the best concerts of 2010: Four Tet & Gold Panda at Webster Hall.
Gold Panda’s sound is a mix between hip-hop and house. The prolific UK-based producer captures the progeny of 70’s disco funk meets hip-hop with songs filled with interesting melodies which seem to have been sampled from traditional Asian and Middle Eastern music. Panda’s constant onstage movement is almost as engaging as his delivery of songs–often presenting stripped-down versions of tunes and letting them simmer and eventual boil to a bubbling pot of bass-thumping dance extravaganza. All in all, Panda’s 40-minute set left me overly satisfied yet still wanting more. Continue reading “Four Tet / Gold Panda Concert Review. October 22 2010” »

G-Shock and Cartoon Networks Adult Swim Aqua Teen Hunger Force celebrated the launch of their first born collaboration Tuesday night at Gallery Bar on Orchard Street, NYC. Guests enjoyed cocktails courtesy of TY KU. Mick Boogie and Josh Madden had the crowd moving all night long. Cheeky Confections cake artist Rose Gange showed up with a masterpiece cake to celebrate the occasion.
Housed in a former office building revamped by architect Karl Dudler, designers Delphine Buhro and Michael Dreher have spiced things up, imbuing Dudler’s pared-down minimalism with inspiration from the hotel’s fashionable next-door neighbor, the new German headquarters of Levi Strauss. In a nod to the close working relationship between the hotel and clothing label, Buhro and Dreher incorporated elements of American popular culture into their design, which, like a good pair of worn-in blue jeans, is timeless and comfortable.

One of the most prolific musicians, Bob Marley died when Ky-Mani was just 5, but nearly 30 years later, Marley still looms large in his life, as seen in Ky-Mani’s new memoir, “Dear Dad”.
“I told my story from my heart and soul. After writing the book and reading over the first edit, I didn’t realize some of the stuff I had bottled up inside of me. So this book, for me, became therapy,” Ky-Mani said. “If I was to follow in my father’s footsteps, then what would they say? ‘Oh, he’s trying to be like his dad.’ Then if I take a different path, they say, ‘He’s supposed to be like his father.’ So you can’t please everybody. I just have to be true to myself and true to my art and do what comes naturally to me.” Continue reading “Ky-Mani Marley’s letter to his Dad, Bob Marley” »
