When your art is this badass, it usually comes with a certain arrogance. But when it comes to Kenji, he is the most humble, honest, respectful, a little bit shy, and straight up an all around good dude. So you can imagine that his first NYC solo show this past Saturday (May 6th), at Woodward Gallery, was packed with familiar faces and new admirers. Read More

On Friday night I had the pleasure of photographing Phutureprimative and Shpongle at the House of Blues in Boston. These two artists bring a very different atmosphere to the somewhat over-saturated ‘dub step’ scene at the moment. Phutureprimative’s most recent album, Kinetik, has been one of the most listened to albums I have purchased in a long time. It’s most certainly a step in the right direction in terms of the trends in electronic music at the moment. And if you haven’t witnessed a Shpongle performance yet, then these photos might not do any justice, especially because it was only a DJ set. Although Shpongle isn’t my ideal musical taste, it is hard to pass up a chance to envelop yourself during a Shpongle set. They have some of the most diverse and diehard fans in my opinion. Check out both of these artists at their respective websites:
