Creative Recreation

Creative Recreation was officially launched in Orange County, California in the Fall of 2002. The founders of Creative Recreation noticed a huge void in the footwear market. Everyone was offering either dress shoes to be worn with a suit or athletic inspired sneakers that were considered unacceptable at most formal functions.

Footwear for young professionals with style was no where to be found. Finally, two long time friends, who were already enjoying successful careers in the footwear industry, decided they would be the ones to change the game. Realizing that this generation was not going to follow in the same footsteps as the one before, Creative Recreation began their own journey. They realized early on, that being successful in today's world economy did not require wearing a suit and tie. It was just the opposite. This generation is in control of its destiny. This generation is more creative and certainly more inventive in terms of recreation; thus the stylish sneaker was born.

Daedelus - Love To Make Music To

Alfred Darlington (born Alfred Weisberg-Roberts) in Santa Monica, Alfred better known as Daedelus wanted to be an inventor growing up as a kid, a sentiment that led to him choosing this artistic moniker (in Greek mythology Daedalus was known as an inventor, although Weisberg-Roberts also cites the character Stephan Daedelus in James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as well as the ship in the Japanese cartoon Robotech as equally valid reasons for his selection) when he decided to begin releasing his own work. Now In a time of redefinition of what it means to be a DJ and performer, Daedelus has been proposing a style of live performance of intricate live-sequencing of original sounds, thick layering of sampled loops from diverse sources, and a bit of spice and magic all piped through a custom-built magic box called the Monome. His compositions are journeys and his sense for texture and sound mining are broad and fantastical.


Love To Make Music To, Released on Ninja Tune Records, is one of the most impressive electronic releases this year. It's all over the place, and in a good way. There's great touches of hip-hop, smooth beats for the dance floor, intense moments of multi-layered ambiance, and a whole bag of tricks that make this Daedelus’ best and most playfully accessible album yet.

Upper Playground - Adidas Originals

Upper Playground is releasing an exclusive sneaker series with Adidas Originals. The new shoe line features four signature designs from fine artists Sam Flores, David Choe, Herbert Baglione, and hip hop artist Aesop Rock.

Each sneaker design will be available for sale at Upper Playground retail stores and online at beginning at 8 am PST. Each pair of sneakers will retail for $150.00. LIMITED QUANTITY'S!

Today! Upper Playground releases the first of four collaboration with Adidas Originals. This debut launch will feature the works of Herbert Baglione, a Sao Paulo-based artist who has won recognition in his homeland of Brazil as well as Latin America and Europe. Known for his paradoxical subjects of individuality, death, and the paths we choose in lives, Baglione cleverly express these in bold black patterns on white background. “My sneaker design expresses my personal taste in shoes. I don’t like colorful tennis shoes that are full of designs or anything that I feel is more than necessary. I believe being simple ends up being more challenging,” stated Baglione. The UUpper Playground x Adidas Originals - Herbert Baglione sneaker will be available in limited number at Upper Playground online stores and retail locations starting this Thursday, July 17th, at 9 am PT.


Shots out to Jenny B from X-Large Clothing for the heads up on the sneakers.

ArtDontSleep Presents: "From LA With Love"

Art Don't Sleep Presents "From LA With Love", a collection of new music from LA's most ingenious, original electronic producers, creating an exceptional record that is not only amazing musically, but is a true reflection of a brand new underground music scene. Also featured in the CD is one piece of visual art per song that represents the visual art interpretation of the song that inspired it.

It is rare that movements come along that are as prolific as what is occurring in Los Angeles today. From Greenwich Village and San Francisco in the 60s, to the blues movement of Chicago, to the country movement of Nashville, each era marked a change in music and a change in the arts overall. The new movement now resides in The City of Angels.

Little Stevie Wonder - Finger Tips

Stevie Wonder was born prematurely, which caused him to be blind, on May 13, 1950. He took up piano at age 7, and had mastered it by age 9. He taught himself to play the harmonica and the drums, and had mastered both by age ten. Wonder also learned to play the bass during his early years at Motown. Motown founder Berry Gordy signed him at age 11, impressed by his many musical talents. At the age of thirteen, he had a major hit, "Fingertips (Pt. 2)", a 1963 single taken from a live recording of a Motor Town Revue performance, issued on the album, "Recorded Live-Little Stevie Wonder, The 12 Year-Old Genius". The song, featuring Wonder on vocals, bongos, and harmonica, and a young Marvin Gaye on drums, was a #1 hit on the U.S. pop and R&B charts and launched him into the public consciousness.
