Cue the Final Countdown – On May 1st the CNNCTD+ teams’ past 8 months of work culminates at the New Museum, aligning 100 musicians, artists, chefs, writers, & designers who have an impact on New York Culture.

Each participant in CNNCTD+100 is using a Playbutton — a wearable pin that doubles as an MP3 player — as the canvas for their audio and visual designs. Participants include world-renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, fashion designers like Narciso Rodriguez, and musicians such as Pharrell Williams, Santigold & Yoko Ono. Also included are iconic NYC personalities and companies such as Katz’s Deli, the Meatball Shop, and Ricky Powell. In creating the project, CNNCTD+ enlisted the help of top creative and cultural engineers: from HBO’s Broke Mogul, to Half Gallery’s Bill Powers, to advertising guru George Lois. The complete list of participants won’t be revealed until the night of the event but includes dozens of big names and surprises.

New Mix from DJ Japancakes | All Hip Hop, mostly Ny influenced put together with Balaram Stack
in association with Andy Ryan. The idea was to create a mix to get hyped up before a heat, a
fight, a run, anything physical. The first 20 minutes is high energy, then smooths out a bit for
extended play, and finishes strong with some comedy and hip hop samples mixed in for good measure. Appearances from Asap Rocky, Azealia Banks, Biggie, Jay, Kanye, Tribe, Gang Starr & James Brown
among others. Enjoy

the space for his upcoming show

As some of you may know, we’ve moved into a new office space/loft/studio/tree fort here in Nyc,
sort of an umbrella. Under this umbrella are several people and even more ventures, including
our good friend Roman and his company Connected (CNNCTD+) His latest project connects
HBO’s show How To Make It In America + Mick Boogie + Broke Mogul + Playbutton, on a portable
Mp3 button which houses the official mixtape for the show. Peep the video for details and
how DJ Mick Boogie stays connected. Stay tuned for more
