nicolas matar has spent many a year under the Ibiza sun as resident at pacha, and even though he reigns at cielo in new york now, the island groove is still the driving heart of this mix.

at the moment: watching summer come to a close...

going raw

raw food equals pure, fresh, vibrant, enzyme-rich, oxygen-rich, unadulterated, whole organic living nutrition. natural food which has been processed and/or heated to high temperatures where chemical changes have occurred and the food has changed from its original state to something which, depending on the severity of its treatment, can end up looking like a very pale shadow of its former self (think of spinach cooked and raw). what matters is not just what you bring into your diet but what you leave out.

Dreams of a sneaker fiend

I got a problem; a slight addiction, if you will, that I just can’t shake. It started off innocent enough… yet before I knew it, was way out of control. What, you might ask, is this slight obsession that has occupied +60% of my bedroom? Sneakers. I’m a certified Nike aficionado. Nike Sportswear, located at 21 Mercer (betw Grand and Canal, SoHo), will be choc-full with unique, vintage-styled, modern-tech gear, Dunks, Air Max 90’s and other current - 1977-styled obsessions. For those cool enough to attend the “invite only” block party on 8/21, (congratulations) at precisely 9:21 PM Roger Federer and Spike Lee opened the doors for the first time to the public. Marc Ronson DJ'ed while a seventy-five minute Video Zine featuring Tim McGurr, Heron Preston, Aaron Rose, Boogie, Cheryl Dunn, Nigel Slyvester, Hugues Lawson, Peter Sutherland, Kyle Demers, Yamandu Roos and Adam Weissman flashed on projection screens. The store opens to the public on 8/22.

I’m officially off the wagon.
