CREATIVE CENSORSHIP

Southern Fried Records has a slammin new joint called "TOE JAM" by BPA.
It features our very own lovable "Talking Head", David Byrne & the UK's Dizzee Rascal on vocals. Fun tune, video is all about the retro feel & it's a very bubbly track to dance too. I'd suggest for kindergarten up through 5th grade. Then again for 20 somethings, but definitely not for your 40's, heavens no!

The BPA 'Toe Jam' Featuring David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal
Out on Fat Boy Slim's Southern Fried Records.

CREATIVE CENSORSHIP at its finest, great job guys!

MO BOMBAMAN Exclusive Mix & Download


wow, dude is really gaining some speed!

There's a nice little interview & exclusive trax from my man killin the boards across the world straight from Toronto Canada via the "Media Contender" website!

Concerning his wildly invigorating production styles, Mr. Bombaman says,
"I guess the thing that really got me into production was the lack of tunes sounding the way I wanted them to sound." NUFF SAID.

In the wings, Soh Nup also just hooked up an exclusive joint venture designing exclusive goodz for Mr. Bombaman & the Loetech brand.
(forthcoming mid-late July '09)

Via the artsprojekt management collective, Soh Nup is gearing up to blast off the Bombaman & Loetech brands full on. Everything from Classic Trucker hats, tee shirts, mouse pads, posters, prints & more.

Stay tuned for wicked new designs by Principle designer & director of Soh Nup Ind., Spaze Crafte One himself. check the recent Soh Nup goodz on offer via the exclusive ARTSPROJEKT Platform.

OH YEAH, HERE'S THE LINK TO THAT exclusive
BOMBAMAN MIX & TRAX via mediacontender.com.
Which by the way, has a slew of exclusive mixes/slammin new artists/profiles that will not let you go from that site!

just remember who sent you there for the love!

BLESS UP FOR UNIVERSAL BASS MUSIC!!!

SPAZECRAFTE GRAFFS MICKEY MOUSE!


My friend Toby from MINDstyles slid me into this very nice custom project, titled, "Mickey Brand Halo".
Disney Asia & 3-MIX of Hong Kong invited 50 international artists to customize a 12inch mickey mouse vinyl toy. I was one of the 50 asked to participate & was thrilled to whip up a make over!

The little poster below is a plug for a Graffiti Program I'll be teaching @ the Abram's Art Center in the lower east side in NYC July-August 2009.

I call this one, "spaze Crafte's Electric Kool-aid Mickey"
In strict NYC fashion, I gave Mr. Mouse some lipstick, a big 'ol heart for eyes (in memory of Mr. Walt Disney for his super poised vision of creating magic & love in kids lives), Mickey comes complete with a limited edition sterling silver "BKLYN" pendent that hangs down low & he has a "BLINGED OUT" diamond chip ear-ring on his ear as well.
Mickey was labored over for a good week & after brainstorming with my ma, I decided against doing the Mickey meets Dr. Strange make over & to go with the "FLOW" & make this psychedelic Mickey come to life.
Mickey was treated to all the beauty of a NYC graffiti experience with a wildstyle graffiti piece on the back of his head & a message put up on his ears saying "SOUL POWA" in a "toyish" simple letter style.
mickey's body looks as if it was slightly placed through the "Acid Bath" from the NYC subway system in the mid '90's, thus the statement on his back,
"ACID WASH" (play on the Jeans fad as well).
Mickey would not be complete without a nice little "DONATE LIFE" tag on the bottom of his pants.

We are looking forward to the noise gonna be made as the collection of 50 customs takes Times Square Hong Kong by storm in an official exhibit this summer 2009. here's a sneak peek @ some of the other world-class artists participating @ the wonderful Toysrevil blog.
here are some more shots of my Mickey. ENJOY!

BOMBAMAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DIPLO & LAIDBACK LUKE REMIX


My homie Bombaman (1/2 of LOETECH w/ XI) from Toronto, Canada is always flipping some crazy ish. When we first met in Connecticut for my 2 person exhibit with CERN YMI, dude was mashin up original bootleg dubstep productions mixing Black Sabbath of all things, totally takin' the dubsteppahz to other rhealmz of consciousness. Well, dude doesn't disappoint (when am I doing sum art 4 you man??), hes hooked up with Diplo & Laidback Luke for an official remix of this trak.

The only way to describe this remix is Samba in a can, with star "wars" field recordings & a Haitian hotfoot.
If you dont shake dat a*s, (or even bop ya neck..) you seriously need to check yourself in, cause this is serious groove therapy for the new millennium.

rcrdlbl.com was kind enough to host the trak for all us fiends 4 THE "new"
& you can grab it for your collection too!
ENJOY~!

"CANTA" new Remix Album by Lulacruza & friends

My good friend & colleague (in youth media education) Luis Maurette www.luismaurette.net has just released a follow up to his groupo especial LULACRUZA last album Soloina called CANTA, not only is the material a world-infused rhythmic exploration into traditional melodies, electronica & ethereal vocals, but it is also FREE to the world. (thanks Luis!)

Luis (hailing from Argentina & lots of time in the bay area/west coast) & songstress, Alejandra Ortiz (from Columbia) evoke the sound of a sampler plugging into a 100 year old tree in the rainforest with a mini-stereo mic catching the raindrops from leaves & mixed skillfully with the sultry vocal styling (quite sexy, might I add) of Alejandra as if she were a forest spirit playing in the mornings dew.

Peep the wonder from this sample mini-player right here & go download yourself a handful of esoteric loveliness right here DOWNLOAD CANTA.

<a href="http://lulacruza.bandcamp.com/album/canta">Canta by Lulacruza</a>


Guaranteed to shake the hip & wriggle the soul, these 8 remixed tracks by a variety of finely handpicked artists bring a nice upbeat vibe & danceable form to this remix artist album.

This blurb from their album Soloina (with MJ Greenmountain) says it all:
Soloina is a visionary exploration into untamed landscapes. Hypnotic chants entwine through crackling layers of effervescent textures. Raw incantations, tribal drumming, and rainbow processing shower over electronic tropicalia.

SHARE & ENJOY & don't forget to support the artists by purchasing their 1st 2 albums, SOLOINA & DO PRETTY! Both masterful works in their own right.

A NEW KIDNEY 4 MARLY!

wow, I'm sitting in bed, completely blown out of my own mind, @ 1am on Thursday May 21st 2009.

I gave the love of my life, Marlandeen Figueroa, one of my precious kidneys so she could live her life without the fear of death at her back door & so we can work for greater meaning on the planet TOGETHER!

Only G-D could have placed our paths to meet at this crossroads & encourage us both to lead others into the light of true worth.




This union is a lesson to all humanity that LIFE is soo much more important then money, possessions, & the concept of ownership.

Words cannot describe what I feel right now, & it's like i've graduated from the university of humanity.

my friend Russell Cooper sent me a text after I informed a good number of friends, family & colligues of the successful kidney transplant today.

It reads:

A swift recovery to you & yours.
U did the right thing.
the ONLY thing.
A true giver of life.
peace, Russell

what really touched me was his honesty & brutal, raw focus. "the only thing..."

what else is there in life? but to give it?

Man has made a good living from killing, manufacturing & packaging "healing" & "healthcare" as an afterthought, & persuaded the masses to slowly (but surely) kill themselves & each other through the foods we eat, the systems we create & the constant bombardment of insignificant fodder to distract from true enlightenment.

Religions continue to push monothism yet seem to miss the greater picture, there is no division in humanity, no one "organized religion" is truly holistic, & throughout time most have lost the ability to embrace the "others" sacred paths & shared reasoning.



Respect others "stories" & the blocks of difference crumble away. "In Dust, Trees Grow" is a concept I created early on in life to symbolize & embrace failed systems of humanity, in hopes of new modes of systematic shared change through the human condition.

This is not a hard concept to embrace.

We all bleed, we all need basic sustanance/ care (to varying degrees based on geography of course), we all have the ability to learn & to teach & ultimately, we all will die.

there is very little more then this that holds truth for me in life. Creativity & Culture is the glue that gives humanity it's richness & beauty through diversity.

In respect to this cluster of core insights,
we are left with tollerance, understanding & the deeper teachings of collective wisdom passed on through the ages.

in other words,

"rock on, till the break of dawn"
"and you don't stop"
"give it all you got..."
"ain't no half steppin"
"you must learn"




I have faith in humanity to accelerate our healing process, we cannot do it alone nor in a bubble. It must be done 1 human being at a time. There is potency in touching even just one person.

A childs mind & heart is the perfect arena to place seeds of change & to activate this hop(e) of necessary vibrations.

Be the change you wish to see in others.




Posted by sc1 • channeled in a hospital bed after giving his left kidney to his loving woman, Marly Figueroa

Monday, May 18, 2009

the final hours are the longest

we have been testing all day @ the hospital today. getting the low down for the surgery day from her transplant dr. now.

rejection medication starts from the surgery immediately then stays with her for the rest of her life.

he explains that bleeding, thromosis of the vessels, develop infections, & ultimately rejection. this is the data on the complications that can occur.

knowing & learning her medication ritual is one of the most important factors for a successful transplant.

we were followed around by Dez filming us throughought the process. thanks Dez! we are very excited that they let us film.

wow, her Dr. just told us that my mom has to leave because she is catching a cold cause she just got in from Mexico! fuk!!!!!

doc says how do we know it could not be swine flu? even if it isn't, there is a really bad chance that the transplant could be cancilled if either of us were to get sick.

In fact, if we go through with the surgery & we get sick from her, I can get extremely sick & marly can even die!

I'll have to send Ma home on the train now. wow!

2be continued!!!
