Video: Holy Ghost - Hold My Breath
It seems like an eternity ago that we first wrote about Holy Ghost! It was the end 2007 and "Hold On" marked their first release on DFA [post-Automato]. That Track was perhaps their calling, not only an immersion into Disco, but most importantly into the Analog Synths that define their sound and their unique brand of Pop. In 2008 & 2009 they became the Remixers Du Jour, completing works for established artists like Moby & Cut Copy. Last Year it was their Break as Artists. Their trial at becoming a band and not just a production duo came pretty quickly. By the time they declared their Love for New Order in their "I will come back" Video, it was clear what was to come. Now in 2011, they have toured America once, and now going on their own as headliners. This Video for "Hold my Breath" is perhaps a good recollection of their story; The sort of tale that HBO's "How to make it in America" tries to convey to the masses and somehow misses the point. The Story of Holy Ghost! is not a coincidence...and for better or for worse, New York City stills seems to be that magical place. This Video is simply, more than just a testimony, it is in fact a reality.

Video: In Flagranti - Worse for Wear
In flagranti are always on point. From the Impressive Vintage NYC visuals to the heavily sampled and inspired compositions, their work is always a treat (well...at least for us). Their new album, ‘Worse For Wear’, will be out April 4th on Codek and we will be on the look out for the singles to come out of this. Yes...Yes.

Music: Streetwear companies like Mixtapes!!!
A couple months ago we saw NYC based brand 10 Deep sponsor Wale's "Mixtape about nothing". Well, now they are back with Kid Cudi to present you yet another mixtape. Similarly, Mishka also recently put out for download their first of a series of DJ Mixes. Featuring "Jokers of the Scene" from Canada, this first installment from "Keep Watch" is definitely one to download. Always at the forefront of streetwear, these two New York brands manage to catch the essence and culture of the scene by bringing an aesthetic from Hip Hop, an Attitude from Punk, and a sound that crossovers genres and expectations...and don't forget to check their clothes, they're Manifest Destitute guaranteed.
