Pop Culture Roundup 42
This post, the day, and coming week are dedicated to the town of Newtown, Connecticut, which went through such unimaginable horror that it has rocked everybody to their core. Our site went silent yesterday out of respect to the families affected. We don’t even know where to begin with this gut-punch, it is devastating for […]

56k (Official Video) / Hot Sugar featuring Heems
Here’s New York City producer Nick Koenig, aka Hot Sugar, with 56k featuring Heems from Das Racist. I’m so confused. Is indie exceptionalism dead or are we finally acquiescing to the hipster ethos? Because we’re presenting a video filled with imagery and aural happenings which appear to emanate from Generation Ennui. There’s the achingly in-vogue, […]

Ride (Official Video) / Lana Del Rey
Spurred by this recent disappointing headline, I irrationally took to my personal Facebook account to engage in some light trolling. With the awareness of the mega-success of Mumford and Sons, I launched with, “So, Mumford and Sons Fans, what’s it like to have mindnumbingly boring taste in music? Also, do you still buy your CDs […]

Yojisan Sushi Restaurant / Dan Brunn Architecture (UPDATED)
UPDATE: We are happy to announce that Dan Brunn was nominated for the Best of Year 2012 Project, in the Hospitality: Asian Fusion category, by Interior Design Magazine, and he…WON! It was a duly deserved win as his sublime space went against some stiff competition, Toy (NYC) by Jeffrey Beers International, Se Sa Me (Hong Kong, closed) by Kinney Chan & Associates, and Uchi (ATX)...

Soundsystem: SourLife2 Mixtape / Corté
We’re excited to introduce Askia Mohammed Toure Rumph, also known as Corté (pronounced “cor-tay”), an American rapper based in a small town right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2011, he released his debut album, SourLife, via 700 Level Entertainment. At the time, he felt he was being held back, so Corté flew the coop, becoming an independent artist and […]

The Drive Tour at Branx (08/03/12) / College x Anoraak x Electric Youth x DJ Heatesca
On one of those perfect summer days, another nameless Friday evening in Portland, rolling deep with a birthday crew in tow (+newly-minted member of the talented Superslice photography staff and friend, Nathan Sanborn), we checked out The Drive Tour at Branx, in the über-hipster, Brooklyn-esque East Industrial District of the city. The tour which was inspired […]

Convent de Sant Francesc / David Closes
Here at The Superslice, if it’s properly executed, we are big fans of the mashup and remix. If there is a clear display of creativity, exertion of energy and thought within that mash, it fuels The Superslice fire. This site was founded upon the notion of hybridization, context and influence. We dig it all and […]

Sight (Sci Fi Short Film) / Sight Systems
Sight is a well-made futuristic short film by Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo which speaks of our potentially augmented reality-filled future and how proprietary we become with our dependency on apps and their alluring reward systems. 10,000 more points to achieve next level experienced status, stay dependent and hooked on this game/app! There are nods toward and hints […]

Pop Culture Roundup 26
Twenty-six is a weird number. All I could think of was Interstate 26. So, yeah, here’s Pop Culture Roundup 26. Just got back from The Dark Knight Rises. The best part of the movie was when Batman, Bane and Catwoman went out for shawarma. But I thought the scene where Bane had an asthma attack […]

Soundsystem: Sweet LIFE / Frank Ocean
I feel like a free man. Several days after Frank Ocean made the somewhat shocking, definitely courageous, casual announcement, via his Tumblr account, revealing he once fell in love with another man, Frank drops a song for us to download and take in. It is Sweet Life and it is off of his upcoming album […]
