Gil Scott-Heron’s video for “Me And The Devil”, out Feb 22. Taken from his forthcoming album “I’m New Here” which takes this music legend into new territory sonically (and here visually), a post-apocalyptic landscape filled with dark grimy beats. It’s a refreshing yet honest take on the blues classic, as the revolution seems at hand and Heron is the MC.

Kickin’ off the Next 10 big ones, we’re psyched to present the latest Exclusive KSPACE.TV 66 Mix direct from HomeBaseNYC a whole lotta goodness made up of a party, a live music showcase, an internet radio show, a mix series and blog site based in NYC.

Watching a young version of the Beastie Boys perform grunge rock is kind of like watching Dan Marino throw darts. While they definitely appear and sound unpolished, you know they have the mechanics to get the job done, thus the potential to go on to bigger and better things. But this video, from New York’s public access program The Scott and Gary Show, was shot in 1984; Hip-Hop wasn’t lucrative yet.

No doubt Mark Gonzalez has changed the game. He along with being a well-esteemed skater, his art career has influenced more than a few young contemporaries. It seems like yesterday, but until I was reminded of the scene in Thomas Campbell’s “A Love Supreme”, I had forgotten about the “circle board.”

Ryan McGinness is creating language with his art. Using symbols, iconography and corporate logos, he brings new context through repetition and juxtaposition, his pieces construct “worlds within worlds,” according to him. McGinness is one of the few artists today that blurs the lines between design and pop culture, sometimes taking the route of performance art.

It’s kind of amazing: in its near-decade of existence, the DFA record label has never been wack. Ever. It’s kind of statistically impossible how high the level of quality the New York-based, globally-impacting imprint has been. Dance music has a shelf life only slightly longer than that of a fly, but DFA’s groove have proven damn near immortal. How about a slightly pointless recap? Okay, good…

Yacht made one of 2009’s best albums with See Mystery Lights, but this new dub version of one of its standout tracks, “Waste of Time,” proves timeless: it could’ve come from a mid-‘80s vinyl twelve-inch – the kind that could only be found in a back rack at an obscure record store in New York City.

While everyone’s lips seems to be about Scott Mescudi, including a new collaboration t-shirt with A Bathing Ape, Kid Cudi sits down with the gang at StreetLevel in this video that discusses a wide range of topics over a 40 minute interview.

If you’ve had your head anywhere near New York skate culture, or nightlife or basically anything having to do with Lower Manhattan lifestyle, then you probably recognize his face. For well over 10 years, A-Ron as he is known has been the face of New York cool.

Since Thom Browne came onto the men’s fashion scene, he’s been know for updating the classics — iconoclastic 50s/60s work and leisure wear. Revisiting the land of traditional with a twist, he’s managed to reinvigorate old school houses like Brooks Bros…

There have obviously been some fashion missteps in the past 500 years in the sport of tennis. Henry VIII pushed for “tall stockings” and “breeches” a la Shakespeare, and the first tennis shoe was a “croquet sandal” made of canvas and rubber sole. However, there are some glaring moments that proved fleeting like animal prints, unitards…

NYC has always known how to throw a party ! especially when it’s in Times Square celebrating the King’s birthday last night – Long Live the King ! (of dance music that is). Q-Tip hosted a birthday celebration and tribute worthy of the royalty in all of us in spirit of Michael Jackson to an adoring capacity crowd – as many gloved up as not – ready for the stupendous mega-mixes served up by Tip himself, DJ Spinna and Mark Ronson to a crowd willing and deserving of the endless timeless Jacko Classics …..

The US teams in most sports are dominant, as was witnessed in last year’s Olympics. In a weird political year, it was clear that Americans had something and someone to cheer about. However, on the pro circuit, in those outdoor solo sports, America has slipped in the rankings in recent years. And tennis has shown a weakness to the world…

Table tennis is making a come back in a big way, with the Hard Bat Classic last month and now with the launch of the “August Sweatout Ping Pong Classic” which K-Swiss has teamed up for a special shoe collaboration. Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti of Partners & Spade…

It all started with a folding bicycle.

Former Talking heads frontman/musical savant David Byrne has been a long-time environmentalist, utilizing a trusty folding bike as his main means of getting around New York City.

It’s been a minute since 90s proto-rave hit “The Phoenix” from Scott Hardkiss alter ego, God Within, captivated audiences, putting the 90s San Francisco scene on the musical map. Scott subsequently held court around the world, DJing to crowds big and small. However, since relocating to New York earlier this decade…

The legend of Woodstock continues and spreads, even mutates into new folklore that never happened, which is not bad for a party that was supposed to be an outdoor jam for 5,000 people which was not even held in the town it was named for. Lore holds that Led Zeppelin, The Byrds and Joni Mitchell…

The UK’s most illusive producers comes out of his alleged cyrpt to release a new EP entitled One Foot Ahead of the Other on Ramp Recordings (September 8th). Zomby is at the forefront of the dubstep scene creating beats for gamers and the dance floor. There is nothing disorderly about this track Helter Skelter.

The annual New York Triathlon kicks off its ninth edition on July 26th. The NYT is a must-do event for serious athletes: its an Olympic distance competition that, true to its name, combines three sports: a 40k bike race, 10k running event, and a 1500m swim.
