oundup of my favorite things this week…. follow it, don’t judge it.
Music. @Gregori Klosman. Born in Paris, Gregori Klosman is rising in the House music scene. Even if you don’t recognize the name, you’ve probably heard of a little track called “F**king Down” with Tristan Graner… ring a bell? With influencers from Daft Punk to French Touch, Klosman is summouning sorte of sorts, from disco to jazz, funk to electro. The first time I heard “Bombata” I smiled from ear-to-ear, on repeat. And he’s cute to boot. If only he fit in my iPod.
“Bombata”
“F**king Down”
Hotel. @Hyatt Regency Oubaai. Part of an upscale 316-acre residential development overlooking the sparkling Indian Ocean, the posh 100-room Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort & Spa is barely a year old and already a big success. The location near revered surfer beach Herolds Bay is stunning; it’s where mountains tumble into the sea near a long stretch of golden sand. Add a championship golf course, and this five-star resort is turning the sleepy area into a must stay.
Art. Ralph Lauren Garage. A 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa from the 60’s; a 1938 Alfa Romeo Mille Miglia Spyder; a 1929 Bentley 4¼4 Litre Blower. Pinch Me. That’s what Tobb Eberle from Vanity Fair must have been thinking as he photographed the museum-like motor shrine of Ralph Lauren. Breathtaking, and as sexy as the man himself. No, sexier.
IntoTheSpotlight caught up with him to discuss his career and his new projects… and I’ll be catching up with him live, tomorrow at @Pacha Ibiza. So listen up….
For over a decade now, Erick Morillo has remained one of the most in-demand and instantly recognisable DJs in the world. From the instant success of his weekly ‘Sessions’ parties in New York, to his coveted residency at Ministry of Sound (he’s still one of the only American DJs to ever hold one) and of course his now legendary Subliminal Sessions parties at Pacha, Ibiza, he now celebrates his 13th historic season at the club in 2010.

Oh hello little man in the mask. You like sweet beats? Well, so do I. You like to dance? Oh, hey me too. You like to get weird, alone, in your bedroom? Ok, marry me. Right now.
Don’t be fooled by the Chuckie expression - @DJ_Bl3nd is rocking 7 million views on YouTube and has one of the most energetic attitudes towards spinning I’ve ever heard: “I Love Music, I Love Dancing, and I Love to DJ. The feeling is indescribable when I see the crowds raising their hands and dancing to the music knowing that its you thats making them happy.”
Well it’s you thats making me happy kind Sir. Thank you for this Thursday treat via A. Gitlin, the legend. Get in the groove with DJ Bl3nd…. just don’t get freaked out.
