Flashback to First Saturday!

The Brooklyn Museum’s First Saturday is coming up tomorrow (8.7.10), with that being said, I wanted to revisit the energy and togetherness of July’s First Saturday Dance Party which was hosted by SocietyHAE.com! I’m proud to be apart of such a culturally forward thinking movement that “Team SHAE” is.
Here’s my overzealous intro to the night:

SocietyHAE.com Creative Director, Ngozi Odita put together an awesome program with The Brooklyn Museum that wasn’t just some DJ in a big room, but a true person to person, multi-media experience. We had a photographer, we had The Ahficionados on the wheels of steel, we had a HUGE screen that broadcasted our #15minsofFame twitter feed, and we had Team SHAE dispatched throughout the crowed parking lot TALKING TO party goers about what they would like as their 15mins of fame!

We bumrushed Brooklyn’s beautiful First Saturday Party goers and asked:
Who are you?
What do you do?
What do you want to be remembered for?
The answers were great and there are too many people to list. So, go ahead and find yourself or a friend in the video by Team SHAE member, Ndada Vaz!

The evening of July 3, 2010 showed what it looks like when the underdog wins. We’re not the biggest, flashest website, with the most hits but you get a party everytime you click!

After long days and nights running around town, going from show to show, partaking in food and drink, and free swag at every turn, I narrowed down 3 favorites of the 21 videos we shot and edited for our societyHAE.com coverage of SXSW!
First up, I interviewed fly Dominican mami, Maluca Mala first lady of Mad Decent Records. We talked about the roots of her music and her fly new video for her single, El Tigaraso.

My next pick of SXSW interview faves is my fave Sound Bwoy, reggae/dub/Hip Hop artist JahDan BlaKKaMooR. During the interview he was funny and super appreciative that we came out to interview him, so when I asked him to freestyle this is what he did:

On the last day of SXSW, I was minding my own business and fell into the psychadelic rabbit hole that is Gordon Voidwell. This tight knit electro-hip-pop-rock group had me feeling like one the family. You can see our “family” time right here:

If you’re not in tune with the world around you, let me introduce you to Graph Nobel. The lovely, multi-faceted emcee and singer from Toronto, Canada was in town recently with performing with her group, The Idle Warship (Talib Kweli, Res, and Graph Nobel) at South Paw in Brooklyn, NY to a packed house. See FULL coverage of the show from A to Z, on my music blog HERE.
I caught up with her backstage for a hot second. Check it out:
