“We’re in the middle of a renaissance. There are amazing things happening within all creative cultures the world over, with frequent overlapping and collaborating across cultures. Innovative DJs are doing more than pushing fresh tunes these days, they’re becoming part of the entire fabric, if not designing it….”
“…a new, ambitious and innovative label [SpinSpinNYC] decided it was time to reintroduce the world to Duke Williams and The Extremes’ early work.”
“…It only takes one play to reveal its brilliance. After that you’re won over by this majestic Magnus Opus that reveals not just the many talents of Duke Williams and The Extremes, but Nutritious, who is responsible for the cutting-edge, innovative sound that quite simply rocks…”

Savoir Adore’s remix of ‘Life in Stereo’ transports the track to a haunting, yet beautiful realm with a half time feel that eventually builds into a dizzying peak of four-on-the-floor freakout, while Nutritious adds punk-bop jazz and a housier feel coupled with sensational multi-instrumental bravado from the legendary Chuck Love.
All tracks except remixes produced by Infernal Devices, recorded and mixed by Andy Miccolis at Converse Rubber Tracks Studios and the Infernal Devices Lab, Brooklyn, NY.

Williamsburg Fashion Weekend is upon us again and SpinSpinNYC is proud to be an official sponsor.
Our own, Zoe Wilder, interviewed Brittany for WFW Magazine. This will be her second showing at Williamsburg Fashion Weekend, an event she’s particularly fond of because of the emphasis on performance. “It really can accentuate the designer’s vision and purpose,” she added. Although she’s never been to Japan, her line is heavily influenced by it. She calls it Atarashii which is Japanese for new. When asked to explain the inspiration behind her aesthetic, she said, “I’ve been studying their pattern making techniques, reading Japanese authors and have become enamored by the simplicity, yet complexity of their art so it made sense to me to pay homage to the culture with that.”
Expect the unexpected.
Zoe Wilder will be modeling for the fabulous Brittany Erb on Saturday, September 15th at Windmill Studios located at 287 Kent Ave. betw. S. First and S. Second Streets.
