Oh what a job!
Since our humble beginnings in this world of internet based idea sharing, we at HipsterOverkill have watched our brain-child grow from a shameless means of self-promotion into an internationally expanding medium of music, culture and lifestyle. It is with great pride and pleasure we do the work we do, and rejoice in the response it receives.
If you asked me what my personal highlights of this strange trip of ours have been, I would have to say the feeling I get from being behind the scenes and getting to experience the parties, festivals, album releases, promotional events, artist interactions and wizardry that goes into making millions of dance music fans around the globe smile, sweat and bounce to the beat. Being a part of something larger than myself. A breaking wave in a vast ocean of underground culture, that knows no boundaries, no limitations.
It was this awe of backstage, seldom seen, and largely under-appreciated work which goes into putting on a serious party, that I had the idea to put a face to those mystical forces who make the magic happen.
Our first venture took us to Brooklyn, NY. At a club called Europa, we made friends... Famous Friends. Enjoy.
