“Not gonna lie: I’m pretty surprised that 350 Broadway survived that one. We haven’t had an in store performance as rowdy and raucous as the amazing one that Children of the Night put on a few Fridays ago in… forever? Fresh off the release of their stellar mixtape Queens… Revisited, Nasty Nigel, Remy Banks, and Lansky Jones were fired the fuck up and tore that shit down. Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, whatever: this thing was stuffed with homies from every borough, no doubt.” – Whole Milk

A$AP Rocky “Wassup” Music Video

yrfriendmatthew — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:15:37 +0000

I contributed some evil visual projections to A$AP Rocky’s “Wassup” video by Andy Capper, Jacob Burghart and A$AP Rocky himself.

Harlem rap sensation A.$.A.P Rocky just teamed up with global media sensation VICE after a chance meeting with Global Editor Andy Capper at the Vice office in Brooklyn. Rocky pitched a vision of a video to Andy which took elements from his five favorite movies, namely Scarface, Belly, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors and, of course, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

Autre Ne Veut, Live On Video

yrfriendmatthew — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:00:56 +0000

“Autre Ne Veut came to 350 Broadway and threw down a seriously awesome performance. His intense, harried style of R’n’B was perfect for the intimate setting of the store, an effect which was enhanced by the candlelit ambiance of it all. He played songs old and new, including some that haven’t even been released yet.” – Whole Milk

Big Troubles at Brooklyn Night Bazaar

yrfriendmatthew — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:00:38 +0000

I performed live visuals in collaboration with Eric Drasin on December 16th, 2011 at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar, presented by Brooklyn Vegan. Our pal Zephyr Prusinski operated the camera while Eric and I jammed on visuals. Later, I combined a recording of our output along with audio from the soundboard to create this instant music video of Big Troubles performing “Make It Work”.
