KATAPULKO presents: MEGA MAX [MEGA.DOPE.POP] + Upcoming Event SVN: hi fi [11.2.11]

We have been working together under various collectives, such as <a href="http://www.konogomix.com/">Konogo.Mix</a> & <a href="http://aliennyc.com/">A.L.I.E.N</a>. MEGA is someone I'll be indebted to forever for his visions, insights and creative genius that continue to feed and inspire my work. <br /><br />So who is <b><a href="http://yomegadopepop.com/">MEGA MAX</a></b>? Imagine a futuristic temple on the beach, with a tigerskin-clad superherogod on a talismanic crystal hoverboard that can sail through ocean waves and sound vibrations alike (BASS!). He's been just given the key to the underground chamber where his ancestral spirits have activated his hyperspace spirit-vehicle and is about to morph into his next avatar, only visible to those who have access to that dimension...One of his superpowers is the ability to manifest his wishes in the material realm with ease, and has been blessed with the ability to unlock hearts with his visions. His debut showcase is a lesson in manifestation. <b>SVN: hi fi by MEGA.DOPE.POP</b> is a story of a series of dreams unfolding and taking forms in this world, only to open doors to more. Part art installation, part film set, MEGA's debut showcase is not what you expect from an art opening. On Wednesday 11.2.11, you have a chance to become part of the game and celebrate the dopest success stories I know. I will unveil a new piece there as well [peep detail at the bottom].

I love the hi styling & the cinematic feel (plus she is beautiful), they definitely created a whole experience around the sound. Both the music & visuals have a  French avantgarde feel, though you can definitely sense New York in there as well.

I was fortunate enough to reach out to co-creator; Quan Luv, when AnmlHse was first starting out and surprised at the supportive and driven nature of the brand as a whole.

Depending on which day you ask me, I'm a journalist/writer, an antique propmaster's apprentice, an amateur boxing coach, vintage print archivist...soon to be photo gallerist and magazine publisher. I try to do whatever moves me in the moment.</div><b>TRUE BEAUTY IS…</b> belief in one's worth and the worth of others.<br /><b>BEATS…</b>are what motivate us. Beats are indigenous and tribal. The most visceral of beats is the beating of our hearts. That pulse that moves us is translated through the beats that we create and listen to. Beats really allow us to capture what's inside. At least that's what the great ones achieve...<br /><b>TRUE SEXY IS… </b>True 'sexy' can't be easily defined. It's subjective. It's something that you feel when it's in your presence. I think true 'sexy' has very little to do with physical appearance. It's an outward reflection of some internal energy.<br /><b>MUSIC IS MY… </b>Music is the artform that most closely mimics our emotions. Music is what our feelings sound like. Music is my most easily accessible retreat at times. Other times, it is a connective tool that allows me to reach a certain place or person.<br /><b>ART DOES NOT…</b> have to be explained, only felt.<br /><b>MY NIGHTS ARE…</b> unpredictable. I've done well to create a lifestyle that allows me to use the night as my canvas. I am most productive at night and most of the ideas that I come up with are executed at night. I prefer interacting with others at night. I'm semi-nocturnal, so it's fair to say that my nights are usually active.<br /><div class="im"><b>THESE 3 TURN ME ON…</b>In a woman, her ability to create, perform, and excel are my 3 main turn-ons. In life, my ability to create, perform, and excel are my 3 main turn-ons.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsS8LToa1Gyzo084o66BVVI8bSvcAnz9WB0UheVEDCKjIa-3a58Cx4OEBQ-wHFOrTswEIe2zIJHB1y_9d_q6GGfA3QUK0r-7DNHwqMxwLa0EN4DUxei9ky76vbCLQfsFQWavwgmY3FH9sl/s1600/new+PAN+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsS8LToa1Gyzo084o66BVVI8bSvcAnz9WB0UheVEDCKjIa-3a58Cx4OEBQ-wHFOrTswEIe2zIJHB1y_9d_q6GGfA3QUK0r-7DNHwqMxwLa0EN4DUxei9ky76vbCLQfsFQWavwgmY3FH9sl/s640/new+PAN+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><b>SELF-KNOWLEDGE</b> …I've got knowledge of self and coloring books on my shelf.<br /><b>ENOUGH OF …</b>I've had enough of the generally accepted principles of branding and presenting art.

Shouts to the whole LATL team for that matter. We've become like a family with all of our individual vices and opinions adding value to the whole process. Shouts to real people and real friends who may read this...people like Blair "Bliz" Milbourne, Ron J (Leroy Jenkins) and Omar & Les (Black Flag Shoppe) whom I look to for something familiar as I've transitioned into this unconventional lifestyle along with them. Basically, we don't want to work for anyone! Shouts to my OGs and informal mentors Jerry Gant, Jamel Shabazz, and Kenyan Paris Lewis who have shared words of infinite wisdom and have shown me through action that this life and my aspirations are attainable. Finally, shouts to all the creators, all the lovers, all those who are passionate about something positive...shouts to you Lichiban!!!<br /><br />I was put on this video by the homie, Ron Upperman (one half of Leroy Jenkins) starring PAN in the new LJ promo (captured secretly)!

With the coming of this season and its sun rays, clothing becomes optional, sexuality is in abundance, and extended daylight leads to balmy nightlife, often at the expense of a long-term love. On the flipside, summertime is also when love connections are made. Nothing says summer like a humid day, and locking eyes with your dewy skinned soulmate for the first time, even if it only lasts for a season…or a night. </span></span></div><div style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Georgia, Georgia, serif, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">With this theme in mind, and with summertime officially upon us, Flwrpt & The Casual presents…RELATIONSHIP RAPS. This mix is a collection of ’90s hip-hop tracks, some obscure some familiar, all dealing in some way with the relationships between women and men. With each song, we tried to capture a distinct ’90s sound and essence, that somehow never crossed into mainstream consciousness, but played a large role in crafting the energy of the era.
