PHOTOBOOTH: Sunday's Beats for Brunch 2
Yesterday we hosted our 2nd 'Beats for Brunch' event for the year in the lower east-side of New York City at Pianos, and this go around Laytonic featured Newark based DJ and fellow Artoholik 'Ream Supreme' to lead off the event making this his first NYC DJ appearance. Laytonic took over the 1's and 2's and laced a mean set of 90's hip hop instrumentals staying true to his style while providing a dope sound for the crowd to vibe out to. Then NYC based DJ 'Leecy T' closed out the DJ session with a blend that had the crowd dancing and bopping their heads featuring some 90's music as well as some fresh hip-hop and R&B rhythms. Just like our first B4B event back in February, we invited a live band to end the night. This time, Laytonic hand picked Brooklyn based hip-hop group 'ILLEGALIZE' to give our crowd some live and unique sounds.
Overall this event was just as successful as our first. Our mission was to get new people out to discover a different vibe, while enjoying food, music and each other. By the looks of the photo below, our mission was accomplished! Enjoy!

Photobooth: Segment Commercial Recaps
This past weekend the gang and I hooked up at the GMLV studio to work on some segmented commercials. What do I mean by 'Segmented Commercials'? Are you familiar with the Happy Hour and Urban Exploring videos posted here? Do you know that for the past two weeks we've been sharing brunch spots while putting together a mix of music for you on Sunday mornings? We call that Sunday's Beats for Brunch. What about the post that features a photo timeline based around your favorite pair of sneakers titled In My Shoes?
Urban Exploring, Happy Hour, In My Shoes and Sunday's Beats for Brunch are all part of our Original Content series also known as segments. Each segment features an Artoholik crew member and a featured guest/host. So we decided to create short videos, similar to commercials, that will feature a future host and guest that we all can share.
As usual Guru documented the process in between his recording sessions. Here are a few photos, but stayed tuned for the spots as they'll roll out starting next week. We're also putting together a gag reel to share some of the embarrassing moments. None of us love the camera. lol
