NYC: The Hump + Free Mixtape
- story THE FADER
If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/domestic partner who is not only tolerant but cooperative in making mixtapes that start with MC Eiht songs, take a knee right now and thank whichever god you pray to for doing you right. FADER fam DJs Lindsey and Myles, newlyweds themselves, did just that for everyone to enjoy and to promote tonight’s episode of The Hump party in Manhattan, which just so happens to welcome another FADER-for-lifer Nick Catchdubs to act as guest record spinner. Sayeth Lindsey:
Ok, so for tonight we welcome Muhsinah home after her 30 day 25 city tour with Common. M. J. Zilla is holding down hosting duties and we have Nick Catchdubs and Cult Hero playing the jams. It’s destined to be a good night. So, yea watch Obama run all over McBush in the debate and come through after. See you then!
YEEAAAAHHHHHHHH.

Flyer Alert: The Golden Age Of Grotesk
- story THE FADER
BK-based graphic designer Grotesk has been responsible for some of our favorite color-coordinated doodles as of late, from the Cool Kids’ The Bake Sale cover to various tees for Stussy and Hellz Bellz (his blog is pretty ace, too). Yet his snazziest canvases of all are the weekly party flyers for The Hump, a get-together organized by former FADER editor DJ Lindsey and hubby DJ Myles alongside a rotating cast of selectors and downtown luminaries (we mentioned it a while ago, before their JPG game was quite so illmatic). The party only features tunes circa ‘88 to ‘98, but Grotesk’s illustrations avoid record digger cliches and refuse to memorialize the era in any way. Instead, he simply takes us back to the first time we saw Meth with the glass eye in the “All I Need” video, or Puffy waving his Rolex in a shiny suit, and reminds us just how much fun those goofy motherfuckers were having. Check the whole collection on MySpace, and join us in looking forward to the day dude sketches Redman with the looseleaf paper booger stuffed in his schnoz.
