I never thought Visvim would the brand to go online, but I guess the power of e-commerce is undeniable.
Last night they launched book-style Visvim.tv. We like.
It's been a whirlwind week. After the great night at MFT, Mr. Izumi arrived in town to do some preliminary work/planning. Special thanks to Tetsuro. Watch this space.
Dam Funk at My Favorite Things June 2009. Photos by Jason Lewis. RIP Ricoh GR II.
The New York Times did a nice piece on the man too.
Not only the most amazing performer of all time, but he had a lot of style too.
Happy father's day to my Dad and my 85 yr old gradfather, Dr. Walp. Still cool.
Keeping it bouncing this month with a bit of jazz upfront.
Waajeed weighs in with a cover of Thom Browne's "Jamaica Funk" and the Super Value guys do it again with a great edit of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's "Together Again". Some nice French bits in there from the amazing Soulab Records (the return of Les Nubians?) and Frank Roger. And feeling techy too with brand new works from Kez YM, Recloose and Seiji. Oh yeah there's a little interlude from the new Leon King EP, more info soon come.
Head over to Time Out NY for a special edited version in anticipation of next week's party with DAM-FUNK. Be there.

MFT returns next Tuesday with an amazing lineup for you. We've got DAM-FUNK in the house from LA bringing his soul, funk and boogie sound. He's been making big noise recently with his productions for Stones Throw and parties like Funkmosphere in Culver City. I'm really excited about this one.
Also joining us is long time friend and influential dj from Berlin Dirk Rumpff. Dirk has been hosting his Offtrack Radio show for many years now and has a production outfit called Season & Sygaire with Roskow from Jazzanova.
All the regular crew will be in the house as usual. RSVP now.
If you are in the NYC area, stop by 125 Rivington Street and check out the abstract works of Cyrill Gutsch aka Strange Matter.
