Clubnights We Love :: Evolution
Evolution, a new club night featuring DJs Reborn & Selly at Southpaw, makes me miss NYC. You see, I used to spin with these ladies for years in the Ubiquita crew. We had a long run on Thursdays at Guernica in the LES, which was hands-down, one of the best dancefloor-friendly parties I had the pleasure of not only attending but spinning. All of this to say, that these ladies along with directors Kim Knox & Deshawn Maxwell are family and this party is one to be at! – Moni Vargas
Books We Love :: Azadi, Protest in the Streets of Tehran
Saideh Pakravan’s new novel, Azadi, Protest in the Streets of Tehran, takes place in June 2009 when hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest the Iranian presidential elections. After suffering through the violent government crackdown, Raha, a young female student, and Hossein, a Revolutionary Guard, realize that their lives will never be the same. – Moni Vargas
Projects We Love :: Just Keep Going, You Got Nothing To Lose
This one really hit me in all the right places. For years i’d ride the train and think to myself “who are all these people”, “where are they all going”, etc. I’m happy someone decided to break through the mystery and bring a camera along to capture the moments. I Love NYC!
Musicians We Love :: Campo
¨I really respect and like the body of homeboy’s work. ¨ That is the thought (verbatim) that swirled through my head about Uruguayan producer and composer Juan Campodónico. I first learned about him through the music of fellow Uruguayan Jorge Drexler and soon after realized he was also involved with Peyote Asesino, Bajofondo… and I had been listening to some of their songs unknowingly. I’m slow on the uptake sometimes. -Jennifer Cendaña Armas
