“For the fourth episode of H∆SHTAG$…we take a deep dive into the fledgling beats scene. Flying Lotus, TNGHT, The Gaslamp Killer, Shlohmo and XXYYXX are just a few of the artists that talk about how a small LA club night and circle of friends turned into a truly global phenomenon and transformed both electronic music and hip hop along the way.”

Red Bull’s new headquaters constructed on an old shipping yard to the north of Amsterdam have recently been completed, their goal was to keep the space simple yet at the same time creative and if possible unthinkable. Here’s a few words from Hypebeast;
“Duality is the theme of the project, with the interior juxtaposing black and white, dark and light, public and private, work and play, arts and industry and a respect for traditional values with those of modernity. Ultimately, the architecture perfectly combines the simplicity of the industrial space with the performance for which Red Bull is known.”
