The Stuyvesants – The Finer Things Vol. 1 [BeatTape]

The Stuyvesants sind eine Kollaboration aus Allan Cole (aka Algorythm) und Darien Victor Birks (Flwrpt). Beide leben in Brooklyn, NY und haben gemeinsam dieses 70s-tribute Tape produziert. The Finer Things ist der 1. Teil dieser Kollektion und sicherlich eine Reise wert:

After the unexpected success and positive feedback from our first release, “Brooklyn’s Finest” (released 6/1/10), we’re back with our sophomore effort, “THE FINER THINGS”. Sonically we’re taking you on a completely different journey, however, the distinctive vibe of The Stuyvesants is still very present in the music! We truly appreciate all of the support for our movement thus far, and hope that you will enjoy this soundscape.

Made By Hand – Breuckelen Gin-Herstellung [New York, Doku]

Breuckelen Distilling war der erste Gin-Hersteller, der nach Aufhebung der Prohibition dieses fantastische Getränk zubereitete und das in Brooklyn, NY City:

In our inaugural film, we visit the Breuckelen Distilling Company, the first gin distiller in Brooklyn since prohibition. Founder Brad Estabrooke talks about starting from nothing and the imperfect process of perfecting a craft. His experience bears a lesson for us all: knowing you could fail brings you that much closer to success.

8 Hours in Brooklyn [und Fotos von mir]

Dieses Slomo-Video repräsentiert Brooklyn unheimlich gut. Hatte ja selber auch schon mal die Ehre, Zeit dort zu verbringen und die Gegend auch ähnlich wie im Video wahrgenommen:

All footage was shot within an 8 hour span in Brooklyn, NYC. Several of these shots will be used in part w/ a series of spots we are directing/producing which will be released sometime in the near future.
