Dukie is BACK!!!! - R.I.P Michael Jackson
June 30, 2009
Yo my dim mak family ! It is Jermaine Crawford and i am BACK! I decided to take a nice vacation and what better place than Los Angeles!! First person I hit when i get there is my boy Steve (Aoki) he always knows where the party is at. So me and my co-star from The Wire, Tristan Wilds decided to catch up with Steve at club cinespace where this absolutely amazing group called SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM performed.
Major kudos to “the cobra snake” for taking that dope shot. he is michael jordan with a camera hands down.
But on the more serious note during my stay in California .. I walk out of a meeting with my pr and in the office on T.V I was devastated when i saw that my idol michael jackson passed away from a heart attack. Here are some pics the day after his passing of thousands of people awaiting to pay respect to his star on hollywood blvd.
So when everybody gets a chance just really pray for the Jackson family. MJ influenced US ALL!!! in some way or another.
But back on the brighter note! I hope all is well with everybody! O and i have a exclusive pic with me and chace and 50 on the set of “twelve” directed by the legendary Joel Schumacher

June 29, 2009
" />
DIM MAK presents the FREE DOWNLOAD of LAIDBACK LUKE AND DIPLO’S “HEY” (Bombaman Remix) available now!
Holland’s beloved house music-loving homebody, LAIDBACK LUKE is on an international mission to rock clubs, win hearts, and top charts. A producer with immense talent, tons of spirit, and a steely determination to succeed, he has been on a worldwide search for the ultimate in dance floor enery since the mid 1990s. “Music is an amazing tool that can evoke powerful memories and emotions”, says Luke with a smile. “And I will not rest until I’ve given my best: I want to share as much music as possible with as many people as possible.” Laidback Luke built up a reputation for building energy and skillfully fusing as an array of old and new skool flavors, edits, bootlegs, and acapellas into a slick signature style.
Diplo is a Philadelphia-based producer/DJ grew up in the deep south of America, and the influence of the region’s home-grown rap and electronica styles has played a key role in shaping his production style. His production and remix activities include work with M.I.A. Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, Beck, Bloc Party, Justin Timberlake, and Daft Punk.Diplo is characterized by his eclectic, often 80s-oriented mashups, mixtapes, and live sets.
LAIDBACK LUKE and DIPLO have combined forces to create the monster club banger “HEY”, which is already getting massive amounts of play by the biggest and most popular dj’s/ producers!
Check out “HEY” (BOMBAMAN REMIX) HERE
“HEY” will be out on DIM MAK RECORDS on July 7th along with remixes by L-VIS 1990, NADASTROM, BOMBAMAN, DRE SKULL, BLACK NOISE, AUTOEROTIQUE, and FOAMO!

BICYCLE FILM FESTIVAL 09′ TRAILER-
June 29, 2009
Meant to put this up last week, but didn’t get a chance to, but check out this siqq trailer as a part of the Bicycle Film Festival brought to you by 42 Below
(from their website)
“The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle.
We are into all styles of bikes and biking. If you can name it-Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Cycling to Recumbents- we’ve probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance? We bring together all aspects of bicycling together to advocate its ability to transport us in many ways.
Ultimately the Fest is about having a good time.
We have been fortunate enough to include works of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry among others as part of our programming.
Many of the artists who have participated in the Bike Film Fest such as the Neistat Brothers and Lucas Brunelle are gaining more and more recognition for their work.
Sign up for the email list or just come out and enjoy our 9th Annual Bicycle Film Festival.”
This event is part of a tour that’s going all around the world.
they will be in Pittsburg from July 2-4th, you can see when they’ll be coming to your neck of the woods, at their website-
check it out ! it’s for sure going to be an awesome celebration of bicycle, music, and art culture
