DUBSTEP FOR THE LADIES
I WAS INFORMED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE DJ (DJ OUZO) ABOUT THIS LADY...
An up-and-coming producer based out of the UK, Ikonika approaches the tried and true dubstep template from a fresh perspective, marrying bleeping synth patterns and crisp half-step beats in order to create tracks that fall somewhere between Kode9 and Aphex Twin, with a bit of Skream’s knack for melody thrown in for good measure.
CHECK HER DOING HER THING...
Ikonikas second release on Hyperdub sees her unleashing a bittersweet, unhinged, dancefloor assault that combines her disjointed beats and a both comic and sinister laughing bassline, with breezy synth chords that owe as much to the current swell of post bump beats than anything else coming out of London right now. And all this named after her cat, Millie. On the flip, Direct takes it easier, opening with an accordion like synth before a cascade of bleeps desends, and the swollen sub bass rises. Totally lush. Watch for the sublime switch in the middle of the track, the soundtrack to winding down the roof of your space cruiser, and donning shades as the sun reflects off Saturn. Deeply psychedelic off beats from the queen of Hyperdub.

HOW TO BE RICH AND SUCCESSFUL!!!
TOMORROW I AM GOING TO THE MALCOLM GLADWELL, AUTHOR OF TIPPING POINT AND BLINK TALK ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK OUTLIERS
WHERE HE IS GOING TO TELL US HOW TO BE RICH AND SUCCESSFUL!!!
JUST WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED TO HEAR, PERFECT!
What is Outliers about?
1. What is an outlier?
"Outlier" is a scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lie outside normal experience. In the summer, in Paris, we expect most days to be somewhere between warm and very hot. But imagine if you had a day in the middle of August where the temperature fell below freezing. That day would be outlier. And while we have a very good understanding of why summer days in Paris are warm or hot, we know a good deal less about why a summer day in Paris might be freezing cold. In this book I'm interested in people who are outliers—in men and women who, for one reason or another, are so accomplished and so extraordinary and so outside of ordinary experience that they are as puzzling to the rest of us as a cold day in August.

STICK TO YOUR HERITAGE I SAY
American designers Formvision have created a pop-up store for sportswear brand Reebok in New York, USA.
Located in a 3,000 square-foot gallery space, the shop sells limited edition shoes and clothing designed in collaboration with visual artists Rolland Berry, John Maeda and the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, alongside Reebok shoes designed in the 1980’s.
I THINK THE SHOP LOOKS PRETTY BLOODY BORING AND OBVIOUS! TALK ABOUT JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON THAT ACTUALLY LEFT A LONG TIME AGO!
PERSOANLLY I THINK REEBOK SHOULD STICK TO THEIR FOOTBALL, MIKE SKINNER, BRITISH HERITAGE. RATHER THAN IT TRYING TO CONFORM TO SOMETHING THAT THEY REALLY DO NOT SUIT.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SUCH STRONG HISTORY WHY NOT ENHANCE THAT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CREATE SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH!
