THE KC CONNECTION

this end of this month is filled with a plethora of great parties and happenings. its back to school and lincoln is buzzing with mixed emotions. the school season is a time to take advantage of thousand of young minds that spend their parents money and give the nightlife scene a boost. but it also makes the maturity level of downtown as childish as the four bars they flock to. they shall remain nameless but you get the picture, brah!!!!! i do love my quiet summers but my passion is turning people onto new music. especially when it makes people dance!

lets start with the parties

Feeling Graphic?

Needing a little summer wardrobe kick? Artful Dodger packs just the right graphic punch.  

Designed by Scott Langton, and recently purchased by Iconix, AD is a witty line of upscale graphic tees, hoodies, jeans and more. 

Each season has a new story to tell, and every garment is another page in the tale of the AD and his Cutter Crew. Layered with clever embroidery and screen printing every AD piece is covetable. I just can't resist the mini meat cleaver necklace - Priceless!

THE TWELVES

If you have been out to a digitalove in the last 6 months then you might recognize almost all of these tracks. the twelves, based out of rio de janeiro brazil, make great live remixes of smart indie electro from all over the world. first blowing up in the blog world with there remix of boyz for M.I.A., the twelves found themselves being commissioned by numerous up-in-coming bands including the black kids and new young pony club. they have great design and wonderfully fresh and dancey mixes. i think you will enjoy.....
