“You’re F*cking Out, I’m F*cking In” is the latest album length offering from St. Louis’ own Rockwell Knuckles, and it packs a punch like a Kenny Powers rager.
URB first met Rockwell Knuckles on tour with Cubic Zirconia a year ago en route to SXSW. Since we last spoke, Rocky has clearly been hard at work putting together a beautifully polished body of inspirations of the urban Missouri landscape. Backed by super fresh production from Trifeckta, Brainstorm, Killa Kev, B-Money, Roch, Tony Locar and Adult Fur, Rocky takes most of the marquee spots, with support from Theresa Payne and TefPoe. The tape travels through a more eclectic landscape of Rocky’s creative, with more pop and electronic influence than we’ve heard from him in the past.

The soon to open Tammany Hall in NYC’s Lower East Side played host to a cast of downtown alumni at their private event with Fool’s Gold Records and LTD Magazine this past Friday. The event nearly shut down the strip of Orchard St by midnight, bringing out an all star line up of performers including Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze, The Brothers Macklovitch (A-Trak and Dave 1 of Chromeo), Sammy Bananas and a surprise appearance by Drake. The night fueled by Bushmill’s Irish Whiskey was another blowout in their annual holiday party tradition, which took place last year at Etnies’ SoHo Showroom. A welcome one we’re looking forward to joining again, even if it’s more than a year from now.

In Shan Nicholson’s directorial debut, Downtown Calling, New York City cultural icons survey the artistic renaissance in the midst of the city’s civic chaos during the late 70’s. The film, narrated by Deborah Harry, documents the birth of NYC’s unique grassroots movements that would go on to make a prodigious impact in today’s global pop culture. The cast features quintessential characters of the period from Arthur Baker to Zephyr, as the spokespeople for “a family of homegrown cultures that would forever change the world…”
Downtown Calling makes it’s hometown premier in New York City, Wednesday, July 28th at the School of Visual Arts during the International Latino Film Festival.

I hit the wall yesterday. This whole SXSW thing can run you down.
The group’s first gig was a DJ set with Kingdom and L-Vis 1990 back at Silhouette. A small crowd got in to the mid day acid house set the masses filed in for the day.
I landed in the Levi’s Fader Fort to meet Keys N Krates and catch The Very Best. The set was excellent, and then I fell in love with Marina and the Diamonds. Well, more so Marina than the Diamonds….
