Last Thursday the Bad Kids Collective teamed up with Hotel Chantelle in the Lower East Side to throw an exclusive fashion show for the launch of their Spring/Summer 2014 Festival Collection.  The event was the perfect opportunity for the NY EDM family to come together at the onset of festy season to exchange fashion ideas and stock up on some key electric items.

As the SBB Squad walked into Hotel Chantelle, DJ Ronin was already dropping some ferocious beats as the BKC models were doing one last run through of their catwalks.  We immediately ran into the EyeParty crew, who were setting up shop along with Britt and her beautiful halo Blossoms.  Alongside these festy accessory vendors was the BKC merchandise, and we made sure we shopped all three!  Guests arriving at the venue were dressed in their BKC best, pairing Bad Kids apparel and accessories with high fashion items for a refined yet fun evening look.  The most popular female ensemble of the night was a Bad Kids crop with a maxi skirt, reflecting the infamous style of founders Andi Cross and Lex Houser.

We were each two cocktails deep as the lights started flickering and the BKC Fashion Show began.  In true Bad Kids style, the models each came out onto the catwalk grinding and winding.  First they strutted their stuff solo, and then for the second portion of the show one female and one male would walk out together to back it up on each other, guests, and all down the aisles.  Things got a little risque and naughty, but as Lex and Andi pointed out so astutely – if you can’t let your freak flag fly during Festival Season, when can you?!

Thank you to the Bad Kids Collective, for the amazing hospitality and entertainment.  Shopping and raving at the same time with the baddest and coolest of people in the scene, how much better can a Thursday evening get??  #TheBadLife is all about living your dreams, letting your guard down, opening your mind, letting positive vibes flow in, loving life and being free.  We can’t say enough wonderful things about this organization and all that they have grown to be and accomplished so far.  Cheers to another badass festival season, bumpers!

*Life’s Too Short For Bad Music*

After much anticipation, The Black Keys have released a couple songs from their new album Turn Blue. Just from listening to the album’s title track “Turn Blue” and the second song they released, “Fever”, it seems as though the duo is going for a different sound than their last couple albums. While Brothers and El Camino were both full of alternative, grunge-in-a-good-way ROCK, the first two songs from Turn Blue have more of a chilled-out feeling. “Turn Blue” is more slow and soft, while “Fever” has a retro-sounding electronic twinge behind the instruments. The album will officially be released May 13th on Nonesuch Records, and you can get these two tracks immediately after pre-ordering. I’m hoping that the rest of the album will resemble their award-winning rock sound that was present in their past albums a little more than these two songs do, but either way The Black Keys sure know how to get their fans’ attention.

Oh, did I mention the curiously creepy teaser videos they’re putting up? Watch at your own discretion. 

Stoneface & Terminal are about to release a new album in June. The first single from the album with the title “Be Different” is “For You”. For this track the guys worked togther with Ellie Lawson. The single is out on April 28th.

Our boys Ronin have been busy with gigs all around the northeast, yet they found the time to give us a new single: Valhalla. “Valhalla” is what the Vikings call Heaven, and the song is what ravers will call an anthem.

With a long intro building up suspense, Ronin delivers a wavy techno beat with the sounds of some brass and string instruments, creating a beautiful rhythm that leads to a drop that will have everyone on their feet.
