Shut Up And Dance: Rye Rye - Hardcore Girls

Rye Rye is at it again with the Euro/Dancefloor Siamese production duo The Count and Sinden . I reeeeeeeally like this song. Double-R is rapping better than the first time I heard her and the beat is 4/4 banging as only C&S do. It'd be nice if this looked like it had some kind of budget behind it but some music is meant to be raw *cues Wu-Tang Clan's "Bring Da Ruckus"*.



AntRant
I'm calling this (and perhaps future) post "Shut Up And Dance" because as a DJ, that's the effect I go for when I play out. It bothers me to no end when people complain that they haven't heard a song a million other times before coming to a venue I play in and that's the SOLE reason they aren't moving. If it bothers you that much, get an iPod and stay inside with your favorite song on repeat. I'm not sayin' but I'm just sayin'. DJ's, tastemakers, you feel me...right?

Hong Kong : Silly Thing


This store in Hong Kong opened its doors to the public recently as a provider of higher-end streetwear. The store itself gives off a Swiss Alps hotel feel, as they used a lot of natural woods and mixed it with modern lamps and design details.


You can get the english version of their website translated from Chinese via Google here.
