The Introduction of NXNY
May 18, 2010
NXNY is a creative endeavor into the world of house + electronic music originating from the minds of two creatives of leading design firm Artek Creative Inc. (The name NXNY is an acronym inspired by the names of two graphic artists: “No Doubt, Xavier, New York”)
After being drawn to the genre after years of casual listening and seeing a natural evolution in their design style as influenced by the culture, they began with creating their own mixes to satisfy their day-to-day at the office. With No Doubt being a burgeoning DJ in NYC, and X, who is the A&R of the duo having access to special events, they used the resources at their disposal to move forward.
Their curiosity and passion for music led them to study the contemporary leaders of the genre, from DJ A-Trak, DJ AM, The Martinez Brothers, Afrojack, Swedish House Mafia, amongst others. That being said, the duo are set to release their debut mix project mid-summer 2010. For now, enjoy this preview of NXNY State of Mind.

R.I.P. Mr. Magic
October 2, 2009
A TRUE HIP HOP LEGEND…
I WANT TO SEND OUT THE UTMOST RESPECT AND CONDOLENCES TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN RIVAS—-aka MR. MAGIC
HE PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING OF A HEART ATTACK…..
TRUE HIP HOP HEADS KNOW THAT HIS HISTORY IS SO LONG
DUE TO HIM BEING THE FIRST RAP MIXSHOW TO EVER BE ON COMMERCIAL RADIO ON NEW YORK’S WBLS–(107.5) WITH MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY IN 1982-1984…….THEN WENT ON TO WHBI IN OCTOBER OF 1984 AND THEN
BACK TO WBLS in 1985 and WDAS in Philly SIMULTANEOUSLY
HE PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL RADIO STATIONS THAT EVER DID MIXSHOWS AND ALSO SPARKED THE CAREER OF BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS DUE TO THE DISS HE SHOWED WHEN THEY CAME TO SHOP THEIR DEMO TO HIM AND WAS TURNED AWAY WHICH THEN SPARKED “SOUTH BRONX” AND “THE BRIDGE IS OVER”…….
HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS DIRECT AND SARCASTIC ATTITUDE ON THE AIR AND EVERY ARTIST WANTED HIS APPROVAL WHEN IT CAME TO BREAKING NEW RECORDS……..HE EVEN HAD SONGS DEDICATED TO HIM BY THE LEGENDARY WHODINI–(”MR. MAGIC’S WAND”) WHICH WAS SURPRISINGLY PRODUCED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS THOMAS DOLBY…….
SHOUTS OUT TO MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION ON THIS……
REST IN PEACE MR. MAGIC………….DJ PREMIER
