Tireless shutterbug, NYC nightlife fixture, moustache cultivator extraordinaire: Nicky Digital has been a FG supporter since the very start, so its only right that we reciprocate and invite you out to his gallery opening tomorrow night (Tuesday, Oct 5th) at the W in Times Square. Head out and see if your snaps made it in!
Trackademicks’ DJ Tap.10 is the latest member of the fam to drop a mix on Nicky Digital’s Pre Party Jamz series, it’s filled with “tender knock” of all stripes, from Dam Funk to Sade to Aeroplane to Track’s own “Topsidin” so go download it this second! More FG x PPJ mixes here.
In other news from the Honor Roll crew, you can check Tap and 1.Oak playing with Mistah FAB and Curren$y at 330 Ritch on May 13th, grab some exclusive mp3s and video from Mike Baker The Bike Maker at Fresh Selects, download Spank Pops’ latest mixtapes at his Myspace, and listen to Trackademicks on this new Amp Live single “Gary Is A Robot” (he’s also hosting the Infatuation party at Vessel tonight with FG DJ guests Jokers Of The Scene). New joints are on deck from Miss Josie Stingray as well, meanwhile she’s dropping knowledge on swine flu, Asher Roth and much more all over her Twitter.
Speaking of Twitter, if you’ve been keeping up with our own, you already know that vinyl for Trackademicks’ “Enjoy What You Do / Topsidin” single is finally here and on its way to stores. Yee!
Download Congorock’s contribution to shutterbug Nicky Digital’s “Pre Party Jamz” series here. “I just did a ‘party’ search on my iTunes and grabbed the best ones,” says Rocco of the tunes.
You can also grab PPJ mixes from Nick Catchdubs and Sammy Bananas on Mr Digital’s site, and check some pics from last Friday’s epic Crookers / Congorock / Annie Mac show at Webster Hall.

The latest edition of NYC party photog Nicky Digtital’s “Pre Party Jamz” mix series comes courtesy of our own Sammy Bananas, who drops everything from dancehall Tracy Chapman covers to Aeroplane’s remix of Friendly Fires “Paris” to motherfucking BILLY OCEAN so safe to say it is packed with jams, pre-party or otherwise.
