The World Premiere of N.A.S.A.’s “Way Down” video directed by Syd Garon and featuring the amazing artwork of Sage Vaughn is going down right now over at Yahoo.co.uk!

The stellar track features the beautiful voice of Barbie Hatch coupled with the sinister lyrical dexterity of the RZA and the emotional guitar work of John Frusciante.

CHECK IT OUT!

All week, the homies over on the ANTI- Blog are doing special give-a-ways to celebrate their 1 year anniversary.  Congratulations are most definitely in order!

Today is your lucky day as they are offering up the rad new super limited edition N.A.S.A./Girl Skateboards skate deck you see above with artwork by The Date Farmers (the same artwork used as 1 of the 5 “The Spirit of Apollo” covers).

CHECK IT OUT!

P>S>  Make sure to check out the previous post for info on the Flux Screening Series tonight that will feature not one but two new N.A.S.A. videos!!!

The latest and greatest in the Flux Screening Series will be popping off tonight, February 25th here in Los Angeles at the Hammer Museum.

We’ll be world premiering a couple more N.A.S.A. videos for all of those in attendance: “Gifted” featuring Kanye West, Santigold, and Lykke Li (directed by Three Legged Legs) and “A Volta” featuring Sizzla, Amanda Blank and Lovefoxxx (directed by Logan in collaboration with The Date Farmers).

N.A.S.A. videos mastermind Syd Garon will be there presenting the new works along with Casey Hunt, Greg Gunn, and Reza Rasoli of Three Legged Legs and Alexei Tylevich of Logan.

Along with the N.A.S.A. treats will be other rad short films/videos being screened that night as well (including an innovative short film by Squeak E. Clean homies Aaron Rose and Money Mark), not to mention an after party with DJs (including Alf Alpha manning the decks), drinks, and good times…!

Go ahead and get your RSVP on RIGHT HERE.

My great friend Fredi Endres a.k.a. Chernobyl from Porto Alegre just blessed us with a bangin’ surprise; a Neo-Baile remix for “Whachadoin?” feat. M.I.A., Spank Rock and Santigold.

He’s the real head behind “Bonde do Role” (he produced 8 from the 12 tracks on “With Lasers”), and is a pioneer in bringing Baile to the next level, way before anyone else…back in ‘95 he was already blending Baile with Heavy Metal.

Since then he’s influenced many people like Diplo and Sinden, and rocked crowds all over Russia, Japan, Germany, and the Ukraine…stay tuned for more of Chernobyl’s tunes…Peace!, Ze

N.A.S.A. – WHACHADOIN? (DJ CHERNOBYL BAILE FUNK MIX)

One of the Bay Area’s finest with the flow, Azeem’s been doing it for a minute now.  His new video is that dope!

Here’s an instrumental track off the album he did with his boy Zeph called “Rise Up” that came out a couple years back on OM Records.

ZEPH & AZEEM – AY MIAMI

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I know I did.  There’s a lot to be said about just chillin’ and soaking it in, especially when you got Blockhead there to help pass the time with ya.

He’s mostly known for his incredible work with Aesop Rock but has a couple solo albums under his belt as well.  They are indeed, the top notch.  This one’s from his rare mix tape “The Block Is Hot Pt. 2″
