I had the honor of watching Wolfgang Gartner (real name Joey Youngman) perform at Starscape Music Festival in Baltimore, MD last weekend. He had the Dance tent on FIRE!! Go check out one of his shows if you ever see that he’s performing in your area. More info on Wolfgang is available on his Facebook fan page here. A small gallery of his performance is on our Facebook fan page here.
Wolfgang is arguably another one of electronic music’s hottest rising stars at the moment. What many don’t know is that Wolfgang already has had a number of successful releases under his real name, Joey Youngman. Never one to remain stagnant with his development as an artist, Joey started a new project (with an accompanying new style) under the name Wolfgang Gartner. It appears that the sky is the limit for Joey and his Wolfgang Gartner project! Stay tuned to Wolf’s Facebook fan page for a number of new releases under the Wolfgang Gartner brand later this month!
If you’re into dance/electronic music, go check out some his work on iTunes or Beatport.com…you won’t be disappointed!

Deadmau5 (pronounced “deadmouse”) is currently one of the hottest (if not THE hottest) acts in electronic/dance music. His production and sound design skills are top notch, his live performances are second to none, and he’s a genuinely down-to-earth kind of guy! If you haven’t ever heard his music before, be sure to check out his website at http://www.deadmau5.com/, or get a taste of his music by searching for him on YouTube. If you like electronic/dance music, your next stop will probably be iTunes, search term “Deadmau5″ 
Here are some pics of Joel in our super soft organic cotton tees from his shows in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, and New York City. He wore the Fourward t-shirts (available in our online store) during the last 4 stops on the US leg of his worldwide tour, while promoting his latest album “For Lack of a Better Name.” Go pick up the album, it’s worth every penny!!

Fourward shirts are now available at Shogun in the Quakerbridge Mall (Lawrence, NJ). I really love the vibe at the shop and the direction that John and Carlos are taking it, so I’m proud to have Fourward carried there. I’m also looking fourward (can’t help it) to doing some collaborations with the shop, in the not-too-distant future. They’ve only been open for about ten days, so expect some really cool additions to the store over the coming weeks….word is they’re going to have bikes, snowboards, even more shoes, and lots of other dope gear.
Yesterday I received really short notice on a shoot that BET was having for Ryan Leslie, so I quickly got some Fourward stuff together and shot over to the train station. It turned out to be a really great day filled with really great people. Shout to Nyte and Peter from the Bronx. Looking forward to working with you guys.
Fourward has its 4 P’s (Positivity, Patience, Passion, Persistence) while Ryan’s got his 4 D’s (Drive, Desire, Discipline, Dedication). All great values to live by!
