Time to feeeeeeeel good all over your body, because it’s that time of year again, so whether you’re under the sun celebrating the excellent gathering of musicians, DJs, artists, tastemakers, industry folks, models, event coordinators, writers, website gurus, technicians, publicists, sound mixers, drink mixers (we see you bartenders!) and partying revelers for Miami’s WMC 2009 fracas, or in your hometown trying to soak in some delightful tunes off your computer, start off on the right foot to this groovy, heaven-sent remix LP. British ensemble Incognito’s first track, “Step Aside” remixed by Dimitri From Paris & DJ Meme, gets the old school soul treatment of sucrose strings, seasoned bass tones from yesteryear and pore-raising horns to outdo any high you’re feeling from alcohol, and well, you know the list of other culprits!

Gathering some of the best Japanese jazz artists around, these musicians and names may be unfamiliar to you, but their sounds will mystify your ears into thinking these cats cannot be Japanese. Why not? On this compilation, one any true jazz lover will marvel at, the session gets started with “Café Bahia” by M-Swift Presents 24-Carat, an up tempo jazz number that crosses the border into Brazil, while Sleep Walker’s “Resurrection (Tokyo Night Mix)” even increases the energy with an explosion of horns and heavy percussion alongside some wild drumming. My favorite though, “Sesso Brilante (Mooon Remix)” by Flat Three, brings in the first vocals and it’s ideal for swing dancing partners looping each other through their legs, flipping one another over their backs and moving those feet at a pace, not even a camera would be able to capture.

I was always into the “arts”. But I especially loved the stage! And saw myself being only an actress. I adored being on stage and being someone other then myself. The feeling of being on stage for me was a rush! I was a struggling actor. And it was not easy, while trying to make ends meet that’s where I got a temp job at Ramy Spa. I started out a receptionist but then quickly became a makeup/eyebrow associate at the spa. I realized how good I was and this gave me clear direction. I actually found a craft other then acting that I loved!

“Tying in all the themes of fashion, art and higher-level lifestyle aesthetics, was Dj Pelau on the decks, spinning an assortment of his spring collection – nu soul, soulful house, electro and broken bossanova – keeping the interest of shoppers, some of his loving supporters and the average foreigners that ventured off the street, peering into the swanky digs of the 7 For All Mankind boutique on the all-too-familiar paparazzi trails along Robertson Blvd…”

I was born with fashion in my blood. My mother and aunts were all fashionistas. My mother loves clothes and is such a shopaholic…she would take me shopping for long vigorous hours each week. I always had a great eye for fashion. My mother also loved vintage shopping which also heightened my love for fashion. I guess she passed it onto me and I made a career out of it. I remember being 9 years old and telling my old school Afghani parents that I was moving to New York one day to work in fashion. I used to watch the Style segment on CNN with Elsa Klench and just dream about being there one day.
