Dust La Rock “B.K. Scum” exhibit opens March 4th
If you’re a regular visitor to this site, then you must know Dust La Rock: my art director and that of my record label Fool’s Gold. After the overwhelming success of his Best Of The Beast art show 2 years ago, Dust is now ready to bring us a new exhibition. This one is called B.K. Scum and it’s inspired by the work of experimental sound collective and multimedia pioneers Psychic TV.
The show opens Friday, March 4th at 350 Broadway, the gallery / retail home of clothing label Mishka, who will be releasing their own Psychic TV-inspired clothing collection, as well as an exclusive B.K. Scum tee shirt available for purchase at the show. In addition, Dust has teamed up with DJ / producer Star Eyes (Trouble & Bass) for a B.K. Scum mix, a collection of Psychic TV music and rarities collected throughout the years, along with exclusive vocals from Genesis. Download it now!
Music Workshop this weekend at Cooper-Hewitt (NY)
This Saturday I’m giving a music workshop for high school students in New York at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (Smithsonian Institution). It’s only open to 30 high schoolers, so if you’d like to register do so here.
Design Directions is a series of free design-education programs for New York City high-school students, developed to introduce them to collegiate and career opportunities in design. Programs include design studios with professional designers, college visits, studio visits, and portfolio workshops.
Trizzy luh the kids!

Late pass: DJ Hero 2 and Hennessy Blending of Art
I’m late on announcing my contribution to 2 projects…
First of all I’m in the new DJ Hero 2 video game.
Apparently this is what my section looks like. I don’t know why I’m in Vegas!
I made 2 “mixes” for the game (which you can preview on the youtubes below) and they also used a few of my other tracks elsewhere, like “Say Whoa” and my remixes for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MSTRKRFT.
The way this worked is, I had to pick songs from a pre-cleared list and figure out ways to flip them, whether it be as a remix or some sort of mashup. I wanted to go for songs that already stood the test of time… party classics. Compared to the first DJ Hero game which to me didn’t always reflect what DJs are playing, I like the fact that this new one is more focused on electronic music and hip hop. Although to be honest I haven’t properly played the new one yet. I don’t even play video games! But I’m glad I got a chance to be a part of this.
Also, Hennessy recently launched a project called Blending Of Art where they paired a couple musicians with graphic artists and had them make their own customized version of a Henny bottle. I worked with Dust La Rock on one, and Kid Sister also made one with Fafi. Now pour it up…
