Vitamin Water

I have never been a big drinker of Gatorade, Powerade or any of the other similar drinks. Call it this inner designer in me, but when I first saw the packaging for Vitamin Water I had to try it. With 15 different flavors and vitamin combinations Vitamin Water's selection is pretty awesome. Each one of these flavors/vitamin combos is engineered for a specific purpose, whether that be energy, focusing, relaxing, balance, endurance and a lot more. It tastes as good as it looks too, no sugary aftertaste and very refreshing.

Sugar Rush Vol. II

The first ever Sugar Rush dance party was held on the on the 1st of this month and the event far exceeded are expectations. With over 800 kids walking through the door and onto the dance floor shit got insane. The folks at MixRevolution and TheDopeFiend are back at it with Sugar Rush Vol. II. The lineup includes NeverEatNeon, Nova, Matt Hoffman and Mikal2000. This time around we have selected a different, smaller venue so if you plan on attending you best get there early, this event is sure to sell out.

Stay tuned for more info and official Sugar Rush mixtapes to come.

Giant Vintage

If you are like me you agree that for most vintage goods the price tag is usually pretty ridiculous. Giant Vintage has loads of sunglasses that are strait from the 80s and 90s and most of them are $20 or less! Some of the pairs are a bit too much for my liking, but many are already on my "to buy" list. Time to stock up for summer days in the sun.

Remix Rush: Control

It's no secret I am a fan of the "king of party", Mr. Steve Aoki. I honestly have no idea how the guy makes time for everything. Somehow between DJing at a different club pretty much every night of the week, running his record label/clothing line Dim Mak and posing as the posterboy of the party scene he finds time to produce a banger of a remix by Metro Station. I heard Metro Station not long ago, but since they have been somewhat of a guilty pleasure. While listening to Metro Station I imagine teenage girls locked in their rooms, relating to the lyrics and browsing Myspace while they are supposed to be doing their homework. "It's like... totally... cornily... awesome!" Steve has managed to transform their track "Control" into a DJs secret weapon to get the crowd hyped.

iPartee

No, despite what it sounds like iPartee is not another random overpriced accessory for the iPod. It is in fact a website designed for people who want a one-stop-shop for party events. In a nutshell this site allows you to plan events and share info with friends, share and promote your events, see what events your friends plan on attending, post photos of events and of course gives you widgets to share this info on your site. One feature I would see using a lot on this site is the venue guide. Whenever I visit another city I find myself browsing tons of useless websites trying to find what is going on where. If iPartee catches on I could see it being a great tool to browse venues and events in unfamiliar cities. In the sea of cool websites popping up these days it's a bit hard to stand out from the rest, but if iPartee manages to do so it could be great.

Embrace Miami

If you were to gather a majority of the biggest electronic/dance music names talked about throughout the blogosphere in the past year and throw them all into one massive event you would have Embrace Miami. Miami seems to be an epicenter for insane dance parties and with Embrace's roster of DJs and artists it is sure to add to the reputation. The website isn't all that informative about the actual event, but with Deadmau5, Switch, Sinden, Drop the Lime, M.A.N.D.Y., Junior Boys, DJ Medhi, VNDLSM, Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco and Boys Noize all performing at the same event I am not sure what else you need to know.

Ghostland Observatory

I recently went on a three month stretch of not having a car, and quite honestly the thing I missed most about my car was driving alone and cranking my music. I can't think of many better stress relievers. Today while driving I came across a track I hadn't payed much attention to before but really struck a chord at this particular moment. The track was "Silver City" by Ghostland Observatory from their album delete.delete.i.eat.meat. These guys have a really wide variety of sounds and "Silver City" has to be one of my favorites. I highly recommend checking this track out as well as their new album that was just released on the 4th of March by the name of Robotique Majestique.

Design By Humans

I have expressed before my love/hate feelings for Threadless. The idea was a great one, and they opened the door for a whole new way of selling products. On the other hand, not all, but many of the designs they print look amateur, the tees they print on are super cheap and fit funny. That being said there are people who have taken the idea and created similar, improved versions of Threadless. One of these site being Design By Humans. The minute I visited the site I saw several designs I wanted to purchase right away. The site is simple and to-the-point and new winners are announced weekly. They offer shirts with specialty inks, mixed media and classic prints. I am not sure of the quality of the tees and ink, but I plan on purchasing a few tees so I will keep you posted on my findings.
