If you don’t know Ferry Gouw by name, then you probably recognize his art from working with Major Lazer and Mad Decent, just to name a few. He also has a small piece with a little feature in this months Nylon Guys. He’s been putting in work for some time now and not only illustrates, but also makes films and has a new music project called Celestial Bodies. Check him out at http://ferrygouw.com/
Last week I got a chance to catch Sleigh Bells perform at the Masquerade, along with Major Lazer, Rusko, & Hollyweerd. As soon as I heard “ah-ah-ah” and the beat kicked in, I was engrossed by the whole performance. Hailing from New York, their debut album is set to be released in May. Titled “Treats”, it will be released under M.I.A.’s own label. Here’s their performance of “Infinity Guitars” at SXSW this year.

Today…tomorrow, whatever, Sunday March 28th. Catch Major Lazer at the Masquerade, along with Rusko and Sleigh Bells. Doors open at 7pm. $15 for advanced tickets, so it’ll probably cost you $20 at at the door. You’d be a fool to miss this show. I’ve seen Diplo once before, and he’s really an amazing DJ. Dancehall infused with electronic sounds, like I said, don’t be a fool.
