CHRIS READ...80'S MIX
Bridging the gap between the disco rap of the early 80s and the early sample based hip hop of the mid to late 80s (featured on the two mixes we put together for Classic Material Edition #1) is a rich groove of drum machine led rap tracks characterised by the raw stripped down sound of bass heavy 808 kicks and snappy hand claps. But somewhere else in the melting pot of music released in that same era is the unlikely blend of fast paced electronic beats with dancefloor sensibilities, funk, rap and leftfield European electronica that formed the electro scene of the day.Whilst the sub-genres are plentiful, this mix doesn’t concentrate too heavily on any one of them; West Coast dancefloor cuts from the likes of Egyptian Lover rub shoulders with European pioneers Kraftwerk and East Coast electro rap and electro funk. As with all the Classic Material mixes, classic cuts stand alongside the rare and lesser heard. Originally issued as a bonus track on the Classic Material Edition #1 CD, we’re pleased to make this mix available online in association with Spine Magazine.

NIGEL SYLVESTER X STEVIE WILLIAMS
It has been said that if an immovable object collided with an unstoppable force, there would be an endless transfer of energy. The same theory could be applied to pro-BMX rider Nigel Sylvester and pro-skateboarder Stevie Williams – two of action sports’ most influential athletes. In the summer of 2011 the duo will join forces to create THE TAKEOVER TOUR, bringing together the the top talent in skate and BMX for a cross-discipline, traveling event that has yet to be seen in the sport.

INFLUENCERS::STEVE STOUTE
INFLUENCERS in-depth Series / STEVE STOUTE from R+I creative on Vimeo.
Last year saw the release of a short documentary titled INFLUENCERS: How Trends & Creativity Become Contagious. The work highlighted the whole notion of trends and how they gain traction and eventually come to integrate themselves into the very fabric of everyday society. The movement has none gone more in-depth as Steve Stoute becomes the first to speak in a greater light. As CEO and founder of brand management firm Translation, he has provided guidance for many icons such as Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, LeBron James and Justin Timberlake among others. The concept of artists and brands as successful collaborators is a central theme to his video.
THINGS I NEED ON MY FEET:THE NEW BALANCE EDITION

Highlighted here is a New Balance MT580 which features a black upper with patent leather, perforated leather and honeycomb printed paneling with green contrasts on the tongue, lacing and outsole. Unfortunately for the time being, the sneaker will not be available for sale.

AL LINDSTROM X DAN CHARNAS...THE BIG PAYBACK INTERVIEW
For those of you who don’t know, get familiar with Dan Charnas. He has a long history in the entertainment business, but he recently published one of the greatest books on hip-hop of all time. His book is called The Big Payback: A History of the Business of Hip-Hop, and it covers all of the important business dealings that spanned the last 30+ years. It was an honor to be able to sit down with this man for this interview.
In Part 1 of our interview, we discuss: how Dan got the idea to create The Big Payback, and why hip-hop is so obsessed with the business (unlike other genres). Make sure to check back next week for Part 2.
