		<title>The shoe to rock in the 80&#8217;s. (oh, and in the 90&#8217;s, 00&#8217;s, 10&#8217;s and beyond..)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In retrospect, the Puma Suede (AKA Puma Clyde, AKA Puma State) and hip-hop were made for each other, so it’s no wonder the Suede was THE shoe to rock back in the day. Both are designed to move right while looking tight.
B-boys and graffiti artists needed a shoe that was tough and grippy but that [...]]]></description>

		<title>where it all got started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Folks will argue back and forth all day about where hip-hop was born (see The Bridge Wars, KRS-One vs. MC Shan circa 1987). But you could do worse than say it all got started in the rec room of 1520 Sedgewick Avenue, an exceptionally ugly high-rise apartment building in the Bronx* where on August 11, [...]]]></description>

Respect for the past updated by the possibilities of the present. Practical work combined with love. Energetic dancing married to the sophistication of jazz. Is it any wonder that the Suede became the signature shoe of Acid Jazz fans and performers? A classic style, steeped in history, that still comes back year after year in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hand on the torch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, the marriage of jazz and dance culture has sometimes led to conflicts and misunderstandings. Beyond the dead-end “This is/isn’t real jazz!” argument, there were deep commercial issues to solve when a culture so dedicated to preservation of its legacy met up with a culture based in sampling and remixing.
Fortunately, both sides have seen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hip-Hop is dead..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Three years ago, Nas proclaimed “Hip-Hop is dead”. Not everyone agreed, but enough did that the title alone caused controversy and a wave of answer songs. Which tells you something.
In the past 30 years, hip-hop went from nothing to arguably the dominant form of popular music in the world. And you could say that its [...]]]></description>

		<title>screechy, ear-splitting guitars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Since at that time we weren&#8217;t open on Sunday, I decided to give Television a try out, about three and a half weeks hence, on a Sunday. The admission was one dollar. I thought the band was terrible; screechy, ear-splitting guitars and a jumble of sounds that &#8220;I just didn&#8217;t get.&#8221; I said, &#8221; NEVER [...]]]></description>

Classic tools of the hip-hop trade:
Technics 1200SL turntables
Roland TR-808 drum machine
Akai MPC-series sampler
E-mu SP-1200 sampler
Of course, you can also just use a microphone and a tape recorder.
Now go make a record.

		<title>The Puma was running things- and still is..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Back in the days, there was a certain style of dress. One of the major pieces we used to always rock was Puma. There were other sneakers but the focus was the Suede, and if you didn’t have that look you weren’t representing.
Back then it was about looking good. When the Electric Boogie guys used [...]]]></description>

		<title>The summer of 1976</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The early history of Punk is signposted by a pair of now famous concerts in the summer of 1976. Each was attended by relatively few people at the time, but a very large percentage of those who did attend were inspired to form their own bands:
June 4, 1976: Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall. The Sex [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fab 5 Freddy speaks &#8211; so LISTEN UP!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For me the Suede represents when sneakers got fly. Suddenly they went from canvas to the leather and suede and they really made you stand out from the crowd…Puma made sneakers that were more than athletic wear, they made them shoes style icons.

Even at the time, it seemed a bit old school. The plot was cliché. The acting was amateurish. But hey, they were amateurs. The actors in 1983’s Wild Style were for the most part the real b-boys, taggers, DJ’s and MC’s who were then inventing the multimedia street art that would become hip-hop. And for [...]]]></description>

That shoe, a signature version of the Suede dubbed the Clyde, immediately became a hit, as much for its understated style as for [...]]]></description>

One of the first things you notice about the acid jazz scene is that it’s primarily a UK-based phenomenon with a few European offshoots, but the musical sources are almost exclusively American. How’d that happen? It’s not unusual for young people in one country to pick up and run with styles from another country. (Just [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Acid jazz happened when Bangsy and me were playing at the Waterman’s Art Centre in Brentford. A one-off gig by Nicky Holloway. I think Paul Oakenfold [...]]]></description>

1973 is the year that CBGB opened at the corner of Bowery and Bleeker. The club would soon become the premier showcase for punk and new wave bands, but the founder’s original plan was to feature Country, Bluegrass and Blues (which is where the name came from.)
