Hey, I made these two beats last night on some chill vibey shit. As promised, I will frequently be posting works in progress straight from my hard drives at home to this blog.
Another mixtape from the Zizek boys. This time featuring Fauna. Check it and than get your ass to Nectar April 13th & watch them light up de stage!!
1. Intro 2. Las mil caras 3. El Gauchito Gil 4. El 04 5. El paquito (Daleduro wobble style) 6. Paralelísimo style 7. La colorada 8. La funebrera (Daleduro refix) 9. La picarona 10. Los piratas del zanjón
well.. It looks like Champagne Champagne is playing an hour before Mad Rad on the same stage, so I figured I would do the same poster and just freak it Pearl Dragon stylee. It's going to be a fucking day! A very long day.
Tomorrow @ The Josephine Mad Rad plays an all ages show. Come thru and kick it with great bands that include: Katherine Hepburn's Voice, The Drug Purse, and Bayonet. I'm taking a quote direct from the The Drug Purse "COME OUT TO BALLARD, GET DRUNK, BREAK UP WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND, WAKE UP IN OUR PRACTICE SPACE IN TACOMA, TAKE THE BUS HOME, APOLOGIZE FOR TIE DYING EVERYONES CLOTHES WITH YOUR WINE VOMIT"
Here's a live video of Champagne Champagne playing over at Winner's Circle a few weeks ago. So filthy, JR doing it on this one. My only request is I wish it had the whole song. If you don't know Winner's Circle, you need to step your t-shirt game up and get over there to cop something today.
Well, it looks like Mad Rad is back on for the Sasquatch Festival of 2009. We play Sun May 24th @ 12:00 noon on the Yeti Stage. I believe the madness has just begun.
Charles Mudede wrote a nice little paragraph today on the Line Out about our boys Rik & P for their single "Girls & Fast Cars". Heeeeereeee you go:
The Return of the Cigar Rockstar. "I still stand by my next wave theory, and proof of that coming wave can be heard here, at 206Proof: Fresh Espresso's "Girls & Fast Cars." It's hiphop but it has nothing to do with MassLine, Sportin' Life, VitaminD/JakeOne/BeanOne moment that is happening now. We are witnessing a rupture, and the epicenter of that break is P Smoov." - C. Mudede
Fresh Espresso - Glamour coming very very very very very soon on Out For Stardom.
Some shots from last night. Shouts to Build Strong for putting on one hell of a show and taking care of us. Fresh Espresso was amazing. They brought the party in there and had all the crowd dancing up to the stage. Believe me, its way tough to be a good successful captivating opening act.
Macklemore's set was great, dude has so much presence. He just owns it. He had a trumpet player with him and the vibes were beautiful. He tried to steal my thunder with a Seahawks starter jacket, but I cannot hate.
Mad Rad was up next and it was so hyphy. The crowd was loving it, we were loving it. Cheers to BHAM!! We're going to give Darwin the love on this one.
Hot new mixtape from the man known as Douster. He'll be up here for the April 13th show at Nectar. He combines Cumbia & Reggaeton (not corny Daddy Yankee shit) Balie Funk, Kwaito, Wobble & Electro. Also other genres that I can't even name...Check this shit!!
This is a sneak peek into a bunch of shirts/hoodies/crewnecks im doing with Triple Crown. More details to come on all of this, this is just a taste. Just know you saw them here first!
in honor of the show in bellingham this friday, we proudly put up the poster for it. based off of wall-e, it soon started such an uproar that it later was turned into a video game, and asked to be a t-shirt. bham watchout!! Mad Rad, Macklemore and Fresh Espresso are coming your way!
This is my friend Solace. He is a really awesome cat that is about to take over the urban art world. He's had tons of shows around town and this Friday has his VERY OWN UPPER PLAYGROUND SHOW! I heard that this show will be going to the Portland and San Fran stores/ galleries as well. This Friday's opening reception is at the Upper Playground store on University way and I will be there. I'll Probably bring my camera and take a few snaps as well.
He also does some pretty rad 3D stuff as well (like this custom munny doll with the worms!)
ya'll know about Katie Kate?? She's been down since day one! You may know her of Bakemono with Hanna Benn but believe me this magical gal is more than just beautiful composed songs about cats, dogs, brokeback, and R. Kelly.
so you know the boys are going to sxsw this week and besides that promo, their album is now ready for download! i gotta holler at them and make that album cover crack off for them. best of luck in austin, gentleman! CLICK HERE

The Pop art of Troy Gua and Cait Willis, and a retrospective of The Stranger's "Poster of the Week" Column. Strangers to many, but they are headlining some really great northwest poster artists this month at Vermillion. Including some favorites of mine: Aaron Huffman, Seattle Show Posters, Nat Damm, and Tyler Stout(poster shown). I need a silkscreen setup ASAP I have to step my game UP!!

Alright, Jordan Strong here. Holding it down in Portland Oregon. Got some shit for you all to peep:
That there is disco electronic power house Jeffrey Jerusalem. He's only played a handful of shows but his following is spreading like wildfire. Seattle needs to know who he is.
If you haven't peeped this mother fucker you don't know what you're missing. Breakfast Mountain is currently producing the hottest beats in portland right now.
Droppin by to let my presence be known. I take photos and go to a lot of shows. I am a photo editor for a production/promotion company called Potlatch Presents. Website hasn't launched yet but you will be hearing about it when it does. I'm gonna be updating with some words and pictures a whole lot.

This Seattle hip hop dinner we did back in January finally made it up on the internet. Chase Jarvis is gangsta. The whole team working with this are far more brilliant than you will ever be. I gotta hit that sound guy up that wants to record our live show, it'd be honor to work with these dudes again.
