Crystal Castles, the Rapture, and A-Trak to play secret location this Saturday



CMJ may be drawing to a close, but there’s still time to gain entry to an exclusive party this weekend. On Saturday, October 22, Crystal Castles, the Rapture, and A-Trak will be performing as part of Flip Out: A Never Hide Concert. The 21+ event, sponsored by SPIN and Ray-Ban, will take place at an undisclosed location in the city.

There are three ways to get in:

  1. Head to a participating Optyx location and purchase an item from the Ray-Ban Flip Out Sun Collection or Ray-Ban Polarized Frames by Saturday; wristbands will be distributed while supplies last. The participating locations are 2384 Broadway, 1076 Third Avenue, 228 Second Avenue, 599 Lexington Avenue, 2009 Broadway, 1225 Lexington Avenue, 655 Sixth Avenue, and 862 Lexington Avenue.
  2. Look for wild postings on the streets of SoHo and LES and enter for a chance to win when you take a photo of the mobile code.
  3. Follow @SPINmagazine on Twitter to see clues of where wristbands will be distributed.

For “fashionable fans in-the-know,” fear not, wristbands are being handed out “around college campuses, downtown hotspots, and concert lines,” according to the announcement from SPIN. Some CMJ badge holders will be granted admission, subject to capacity. For everyone else, good luck!

The Creators Project Event Series to Launch at NYC’s Milk Studios


On June 26th, Vice Magazine and Intel will kick off their Creators Project event series – a roving international celebration of creativity – at Milk Studios in New York City. The five-city tour will continue to London, Sao Paulo, Seoul and end with a three-day extravaganza in Beijing.

The Creators Project celebrates creativity across all media in hopes of connecting global youth through a common passion for creativity and technology. The program identifies leading artists and gives them the tools and platform they need to showcase their wide range of talents. Artists are carefully selected from a wide range of media, including music, film, fashion, visual art and architecture. The interactive website launched last month, and includes a listing of artists (or “creators”) with samples of their work. This page is definitely worth a look – each profile has a wealth of information about the artist through interviews, videos, photo galleries and more.

The New York City kick-off event will utilize Milk Studios’ massive eight-floor art gallery and performance space to host interactive art exhibits, film screenings, workshops, discussion panels, and of course, musical performances. Mark Ronson, Sleigh Bells, The Rapture and Gang Gang Dance are among those slated to perform live; the event will also feature DJ sets by N.A.S.A., XXXChange, Lemonade and more.

Admission is free, but you need to register in order to qualify for passes to this all-day event. CLICK HERE to sign up – this is one event you won’t want to miss.
