Devoe Street Highrise

Devoe Street highrise Originally uploaded by John Prolly.

Some updates on another Green highrise going up in Williamsburg designed by Thread Collective. This is the first of many LEED-certified buildings going up in the neighborhood. For more information on LEED certification, visit their website here This building [and the rendering] will be in NY Magazine in the upcoming month! For the time constraint, I think the rendering came out quite well.

Mishka store stocked

Mishka has opened their online store with their fall line locked and loaded. Most of the New Eras are gone but hoodies, varisty jackets, shorts and shirts are still lingering. Head over and cop now! Go to "collections"

Apparat "walls"

My absolute favorite producer has a new album entitled "Walls" releasing on the 15th of May. Like most new music today, the album has leaked. I've got a copy and it is the most amazing composition produced by Sascha to this date. Be on the look out May 15th for Apparat "Walls" - I'm sure he'll change bits of the album like he and Ellen Allien did for "Orchestra of Bubbles". Buy this album!

Way to go NY Times

The NYtimes ran an article in the City section of yesterday's paper on Track Bikes and Fixed Gears. It was only a matter of time I suppose. All in all, I think the article does a good job at introducing their audience to track bike culture in NYC as it is now. The Times fail horribly at giving any background whatsoever as to why and how the fixed scene has been building momentum over the past few years. Gina, owner of King Kog was featured in this online gallery as well... Regardless, give it a read!

Mad Suspect birthday pics!

Shark Originally uploaded by John Prolly.

Pics from Mad Suspect's one year anniversary party and JB's house warming are up on my Flickr set. I've never seen Savalas that packed. The Captain and Drop the Lime were droppin some heavy hitters with Shark on the hype mic. White label grime and dubstep filled the air as people threw down Brooklyn style!
