HVW8 and HIT+RUN in VEGAS


From HIT+RUN :

HIT+RUN has been invited by The MAGIC Marketplace to hold three very special events on February 13th, 14th & 15th in the Streetwear section of the convention in Las Vegas.

The H+R Crew has reached out to a number of brands and asked them to participate by contributing an exclusive design. A strict 400 blank shirts will be given out each day for convention attendees that HIT+RUN will screen on-site for them with their own selection and placement of designs. These shirts will become invaluable pieces of one-off art, combining the freshest brands in the market today.

Check out the limited edition printing sessions from NOON-2PM and 4PM-6PM each day in the LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER, South Hall, 2nd Level, Streetwear, Boost Mobile Tent.

Daz-I-Kue, Ty G at the Standard Hollywood

Tuesday | Feb. 6th
*******************
Daz-I-Kue (Bugz in the Attic, U.K.)
***************************
@The Standard Hotel (Purple Room)
*****************************
8300 Sunset Blvd.
10pm-2am
21+
NO COVER

Bugz in the Attic member Daz-I-Kue might occasionally get lost in the shuffle of the U.K. collective (its members currently total eight), but this man is a hard person to miss when he gets behind the decks. Daz-I-Kue’s sound is typically categorized under the broken beat label, but don’t be so quick to pigeonhole a style that often tends to include soul, jazz, house and modern electro–as was best exemplified on the Bugz’s highly praised compilation for the Fabric Live series. What is most impressive about Daz-I-Kue is not only his ability to
uncover hidden gems dug up from hours of record-digging (one attribute that has made him a favorite of U.K. tastemaker Gilles Peterson), but also his aptitude at attracting the attention of music lovers’ favoring genres not closely related to his own. Currently on tour supporting the Bugz’s latest single “Back in the Dog House,” it’s time to get out of the attic and grab something soulful to eat.

Ty G is a founding member of HVW8 (Los Angeles and Montreal). In 2005 he executive produced “Music Is My Art” on Ubiquity records. For further information check www.hvw8.com or myspace.com/hvw8tyg

To view HVW8 art and music visit the the HVW8 Gallery at 661 N. Spaulding, LA, CA 90036, hrs Wed ñ Sun, 12- 7 pm.

Lee Perry Guinness, SSON, San Diego and Jamie Kennedy

Running around ASR and Agenda tradeshows in San Diego this weekend, along with hosting a party for comedians (a funny crowd – literally!) at the HVW8 LA gallery. No photos, but luckily Tobias from Sweden walked through the door and introduced me to his SSON bikes. Hopefully a collab in the near future.

Also have a look at Lee Perry’s Guinness ad – I guess there’s no such thing as a “sell out ” anymore ….. take that money, seen!

Seattle Times

This past Saturday Ty G was painting with Suntzu Sound and DJ Riz at the baltic Room in Seattle. Lot’s of fun!!! Big ups to the Vancouver Canucks who made the drive down to snuggle up with Shawn Kemp.








The last few days …. before Christmas.

Spent the last few days of the making tshirts with Tony. While waiting to pick up the tshirts, had a look at the Pet Cemetery.

People love their pets! Here and in the next.

The Holiday Party at the Gallery was great time, along with the afterparty with Spade.

Peace, Ty G
