If you were one of DJ AM's millions of fans, there was no way to think of him without recognizing his public appeals regarding his personal struggles with addiction. At the height of his fame as DJ, Adam Goldstein was irrepressible and tireless in his quest to help those suffering from addiction, through both financial contributions and personal counseling of those seeking to conquer their addiction and alcoholism. His death at the hands of drugs coincided with the completion of his impassioned MTV reality show Gone Too Far, which began airing on Thursday nights this past October.

Those wonderful Dutch ghettotechin' blip wizardy-wizards in Le Le hit us up today with a perfect hot mess -- remixes of a track called "Disco Monster" from their last EP, Marble. Le Le's super-human electro-insanities and skin-tight grooves can be heard in mixes from Erol Alkan, Busy P, DJ Medhi, and a whole mess of other floor traffic controllers the world over.
If you can get your hands on a copy of this on vinyl, you should: it comes packed in the Parra-designed original sleeve you see above -- wait, did you just ask me "Who's Parra?" Uh, ...

It's been a very busy and awe-inspiring year for A-Trak. Looking at the whole picture, he's worn the hat of DJ, mixer, arranger, producer, record label magnate and you know...what can I say? The man has really stepped up his game to another level. Even with so much on his plate, he appears to be taking it all in stride. If you read this blog with any frequency, you already know we tend to dote on A-Trak pretty heavily around here because, well....I mean, skillz. He's got mad skillz. Respect.
So we had to let ...
I guess I don't know enough about The Cool Kids other than I know that The Bake Sale is stupid tight, my boys in Lord T & Eloise stupid love them, the rhymes I hear them drop are stupid fresh and this mixtape entitled "That's Stupid (The Mixtape)" is right banging.

So I'm not a metal head. I'm not even a fashion junkie, really. But I have this overwhelming problem: I'm a fking Nike head to the extreme. I have a shoe problem that goes far beyond anything rational or reasonable. When I saw these joints, I almost had a heart attack. The new Nike Metal pack is coming out on June 14th and I gots to have these. Sad to say, they'll initially only be available from Atmos in Tokyo -- however, according to CrownDozen, they'll be part of Nike's Fall '08 collection and ...
