Although new to the American art world, Hart has had quite a hefty career in illustration and graphic design.  He will be moving from South Africa to our humble city this year in continued pursuit of his career as a fine artist.

Visit B+B to see his work on display now.

We are loving the Jason Burns remix of Natasha Kmeto‘s, ““Pleasure Delay”.”  His deep house take on her original cradles her unique, smooth vocals in a perfect combo of talent; makes us feel like we are in between the sheets of this sexy love affair.

Natasha’s first LP, Crisis, is slated for release June 18.

“White Noise” ft. AlunaGeorge

We love when artists somehow effortlessly evolve their sound, while still staying true to the original formula that attracted us to them in the first place.  Disclosure is in it for the long haul and we couldn’t be happier about it!

Browsing through the IKEA catalogue this weekend, we came across this DIY pine dresser.  Inspired, we began hunting down more pieces like this.  As we searched we realized IKEA was not even the tip of the iceberg…

Check out more awesome pieces under the cut!

Featuring SBTRKT, Jamie XX, NAUTIC, and Nic & Tic.  Tune in here.

This Friday night, Dec 8th, come out to the Maritime Hotel for the BELEZA art show event!  The show features Brazillian street artist Marcelo Lamarca and NYC-based Andy Golub.  Purchasing tix in advance would be advised as the art show turns into a late night party with sexy Brazillian belly dancers and a plehtora of DJ’s.  Doors open at 9pm and you’ll be kicked out a little after 4am.  Party hard, Amigos!

Get Tix here.

As the holidays swiftly approach, we find ourselves already running out of thoughtful, creative, and unique gift ideas for our loved ones.  So we were quite grateful to stumble upon this:  Vicious Syles Crew Graffiti Art Classes.  These classes will not only explore style, form, and technique, but will also give you a strong and necessary dose of the history behind it all.  Initially developed by Pose Two, this class will be taught by members of the Vicious Styles Crew.

We guarantee your Grandma’s cousin will not be receiving this from anyone else… or your siblings… or your parents… or YOU.  So if you want to be the coolest caroler on the block- get someone these classes!  Or just say “Merry Xmas to Me!” and call it a day.

“If You Love Me”~ Jessie Ware & teenage tag team BenZel collab for this amazing track and ingenious video.

Jessie is all over the place these days, working with SBTRKT, being remixed by Disclosure… We are very anxious for what her first major mainstream collaboration will sound like and are preparing our minds to be blown.

Now let’s talk about BenZel:  BenZel (Umi Takahashi & Yoko Watanabe) are 15 and 16 years old………………….. WHAT?!  Don’t know about you guys, but no one here at NYC TACO was doing anything remotely cool or worth anything at that age.

This song sets our souls on FIYAH!!!
