Fragments of an aborted recording session at Battery Sound NYC in 1986 which brought together fledgling rapper Mark Sinclair--today better known as the actor Vin Diesel--and avant composer/dance music maven Arthur Russell in a project midwifed by Gary Lucas, who discovered Mark Sinclair rapping and break-dancing on the streets of the West Village, and greenlighted by Geoff Travis of Rough Trade Records and Barry Feldman of Upside/Logarhythm records. 

"I'm the Man of Steel" the teenage Sinclair asserts, foreshadowing his stellar ascent as a worldwide action movie hero ("Triple XXX", "Pitch Black", and most recently the #1 box office hit "Fast Five")-- but even Diesel is no match for Arthur's crafty diabolical beats, which keep dropping "the one" out from under him, breaking up Sinclair's delivery and eventually rendering the session useless.

"It's the white part of me fucking it up!"
--Mark Sinclair at the recording session

Get in your feelings with Brussels party starters HE4RTBROKEN - Founders and resident DJs Liyo and Steff, who met in their teens and learned their craft together, have developed a style kindred to the philosophy of their nights : emotions come first, as they are looking to create exhilarating collages, long impassioned builds up, abrupt downfalls and stirring climaxes in their mixes.

I've always loved humming over my favorite tracks.. I think I've been doing this way before I even started writing my own music. Imagining how a track could evolve or transform by adding my voice became almost like a habit to me. I could (imaginatively) collaborate with all my favorite producer heroes in my own little way. In this mix, I improvise vocals over a range of different tracks that I love.

With love,
Yaeji

•••• Portability of ritual is the notion that allows worship and holiness to take place anywhere, expanding our idea of what exactly we mean by ‘space’ as both an experiential reality and cultural construct. Through a meditative sound piece and installation, ‘Portability of Ritual’ is an exploration of the dissonance of growing up in a multi-faith household, the movement of bodies, and attempt to find healing and connectivity amidst this •••• sound piece includes many Sheila Chandra edits, with my own voice and found sounds faintly in the background ••••••
