Kanye West G-Shock Event-Video Performance.

Here is a Video follow up on the 25th. Anniversary G-Shock Event held in NYC. This was a stellar who's who gathering of music, fashion, entertainment and art industries. They all came together to celebrate 25 years of the G-shock watch. Kanye a big g-shock fan performed a 10 song mini concert for event goers to remember. This is a video of Kanye performing "can't tell me nothing" Live.

G-Shock was born from a developer’s dream of creating a watch that never breaks. At a time when it was commonly believed that watches were breakable items, G-Shock’s development represented a challenge to common sense. The launch of the first G-Shock, DW5000C happened in 1983 and was followed by DW9300, which was the first time tough solar technology was incorporated into the line. Since its launch, G-Shock has continued to evolve for 25 long years, carrying on the toughness of spirit and uncompromising passion.

Filmmaker bangged this out with a MAC

I thought I bangged with a MAC. Digital filmmaker Denneis
Lin puts together this sick video for The Bird And The Bee's
song "Again & Again". He bangged it out with his MAC.



Creative as hell, and fresh. Not sure if it's the official video
for the band but game should recognize game.

SUPERPITCHER (KOMPAKT) @ Temple Oct.20th. (San Francisco)

Axsel Schaufler better known as Superpitcher, this inheritor of the Westbam lineage of post-punk techno has been making seismic shifts into the dance music scene since his 2000 emergence on one of Kompakt's first compilations. At a time when "techno" and "sensuous" seemed incongruous, Michael Mayer's minimalist label found its emotional resuscitation in Superpitcher's glitchy yet layered, impulsive yet textured production work.

CARL COX @ Mighty Oct.18 San Francisco

A musical ambassador since he was in short trousers, a professional DJ since his early teens, a veteran of acid house and a champion of techno, Carl Cox emits a love of his work that is dangerously infectious. Check him when he's behind the turntables and you can't mistake his ecstatic visage, dripping with sweat as his head bobs up and down to the beat, his hands pumping the air whenever they're not manipulating the decks, his body swaying back and forth, frequently taking to the mike to share word on the latest underground tune he's about to break. You name it, Carl's been there and done it, but he's never lost sight of the point of it: playing music, breaking tunes, spreading love, celebrating life.

Eygptian Lover and Newcleus * SF * 8/4

Los Angeles-based producer Greg Broussard was the man behind pioneering hip-hop/electro fusion artist the Egyptian Lover. Comparable in influence to Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock", Man Parrish's "Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" and Pretty Tony's "Jam theBox", Egyptian Lover singles such as "Egypt, Egypt", "My Beat Goes Boom", "Dance" and "What is a DJ If He Can't Scratch?" combined the abstract electronics of Kraftwerk and the Art of Noise with the emerging beat-heavy sound of electro and the vocal approach of rap.

Starting out in 1977 as a Brooklyn DJ collective, Newcleus went on to become one of the first hip-hop bands, playing all their own instruments. Most known for their hit "Jam On It" which still reamains a true original hip-hop classic.
