With around 200 kids partying their faces off (which, unfortunately, got very literal at times…) , the Drexel Sierra Earth Week Finale was a massive success with all the profits going towards the environmental campaigns of the Sierra Club. With live performances from Philly legends including Jack Deezl, Ben Pramuck, EuniQ DJ, DirtyDave, Nomster, and Night Kids, wild childs alike collected for an all out blitz of dubstep/trance/hip hop phenomena, with an amazing warehouse to match. Mid June appears to be our next warehouse rave. Save the date, stay tuned, and enjoy charity like you never thought you could.

ART: “Here Kitty, Kitty…” The Paintings of Misaki Kawai
Kittens in outer space. Awesome. Misaki Kawai paints in the same way that I think: loud colours, block shapes, and surreal landscapes. Akin more so to Graffiti than traditional ideas of painting, these psychotropic images could be the basis for a cartoon, the outside wall of an abandoned factory, or the illustrations for a children [...]
