Music Mickey Factz Talks Supras & Electronica Influences

Around 2006, New York did not have an identity. You can probably blame bitter rivalries between the city’s elder statesmen for their overall creative slump. To redefine the sound of the city, it might take a refreshing sound, like the electronica-driven sound of Europe’s dance scene, to change the tide. Enter Mickey Factz.

The Bronx-born MC began pushing the envelope by sampling forward-thinkers like N.E.R.D. Three mixtapes (Flashback, Back To The Future, and Heaven’s Fallout) later, and the 23-year-old attacked the blogosphere, releasing a new song every day this Spring with influences ranging from Portishead to The Prodigy (no, the other P). In this recent interview, Mickey puts his personal stamp on the Supra sneaker brand and talks about how he was rocking dance music influences before Kanye.

Technology Club Watt’s Dancefloor Generates Power

clubwatt.jpg
Of all the environmentally-friendly activities out there, hitting the club seems pretty low on the list. But not at Club Watt, a Netherlands establishment that recently installed a pressure-sensitive dancefloor that generates energy when partygoers move. The result was a 30% cut back in energy consumption.

Stef van Dongen, the founder of the Dutch company Enviu, was responsible for creating what he calls the Sustainable Dance Club. Reducing Watt’s carbon footprint through LED lights (also embedded in the dancefloor) was just part of it'the water in the toilets came from rain too. Check out van Dongen’s interview about Watt and an advertisement below.
