Atlanta Belt Company “C4 Belts” Launches Nationwide

Atlanta Belt Company “C4 Belts” Launches Nationwide

New Eco-Friendly, Versatile Belts Teach Consumers to Give Back

ATLANTA – In just seven months, C4 Belts (www.c4belts.com) has become one of the most sought after fashion accessories in America - causing a complete revolution in the belt industry.  The belts, the invention of four frustrated but creative twenty-something friends, are so versatile you can create over 400 color combinations.  20 colors + 20 buckles = 400 possible combinations.  The belts, created for both men and women, can be custom fit to any size, are waterproof and feature two strong social responsibility components:  C4 Belts are fully recyclable and each customer votes for one of four charities to support at the end of each purchase.
Currently in over 275 stores nationwide, C4 means “Choose your Color. Choose your Cause.” It’s a bit of a radical, new idea but one where individualism in style and elevated social consciousness unite.
Four American friends, led by Jason Tanenbaum and Robbie Hart, discouraged by the recession but anxious to put their college Chinese classes to good use, set out for Shanghai in 2010.  Happy to discover a new culture, they found they could find great watches, shoes and other clothing to make fashion statements, but were all commonly frustrated by one thing:  their boring, leather belts.  Leather was ruined by rain. Leather stretched if a bigger friend “borrowed” it. And worst of all, leather reminded them of their parents. They knew their watches never stretched and were waterproof. Why couldn't a belt be created from the same material?
It turns out this recyclable material, known as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE plastic), is the same stuff used to make medical devices like catheters and the tread in snowmobile tracks.  The friends knew TPE would never stretch, would be waterproof and eco-friendly, and it sure wouldn't be something their parents would wear.  Two months and much talking, sketching, arguing and erasing later, the C4 concept was born.  Add in social responsibility and the concept is truly something radically different from any belt line on the market today. 

C4 supports four charities and customers “vote” at the end of each purchase for which organization their purchase will benefit.  Current charity partners include: The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, The Human Rights Campaign, Project Kaisei and Kiva. 
C4 belts retail for $25.  For more information, please visit: www.c4belts.com

Atlanta Company Curious Provisions Launch “Thumpers” Nationwide


Atlanta Company Curious Provisions Launch “Thumpers” Nationwide
One-of-a-Kind Rechargeable Vintage Suitcase Boomboxes Deliver a Fusion of Art & Music

ATLANTA – October 31, 2012 – David Preiss and Javier Santana, founders of the Atlanta-based company Curious Provisions are excited to announce the national launch of “Thumper,” a one-of-a-kind rechargeable boombox made from a vintage suitcase and authentic hi-fi speakers.  Thumpers deliver a surprising blend of functional upcycled décor for art lovers and audio excellence for music aficionados.  Each Thumper is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation that blends hi-fidelity with vintage history.

David Preiss and Javier Santana were inspired to create these retro boomboxes while they were renovating and redecorating their digital design studio in Atlanta.  They crafted desks from vintage sewing machine treadles and fashioned a huge conference table from plumbing pipes and recycled barn wood. Then, Javier found a pair of Cerwin-Vega speakers and an old Sony receiver on Craigslist.  He later found a couple of vintage suitcases while thrifting and thought they'd be cool decor.  He imagined it might be even more interesting to pull the speakers from their banged up cabinets and combine them with the suitcases.  Combining skills he learned while hanging out at his cousin’s car audio tech shop, Javier amped up that suitcase, creating a boombox with killer audio.  

Thumpers are portable and rechargeable. They work with any mobile device or laptop, which are connected via an included audio auxiliary cable. Most Thumpers come with volume, bass and treble controls mounted on the side. They can be recharged after around 8 hours of playtime using the included battery charger. Music can also be streamed wirelessly with a bluetooth adapter and any Thumper can become a guitar amp using the iRig™ adapter accessory (sold separately).

As functional art that combines previously forgotten items of our past, Thumpers particularly appeal to lovers of upcycling. Each Thumper is custom-designed and hand-crafted in Atlanta for a balanced aesthetic appeal.  David and Javier match each authentic case to a speaker system, not just fitting things into a space, but combining elements that belong together.  Most of the cases date from the 1920s to the late 1960s and are made of wood, which create perfect audio cabinets.  The guys salvage the crossovers from inside the speaker cabinets and use them for high fidelity and add acoustic foam to reduce vibration. Thumpers typically use a 12-volt rechargeable battery and a 40-watt amplifier.  

Handcrafted in Atlanta’s King Plow Arts Center, prices range from $590 to $790.

Geneva: Now for those unfamiliar with "OPENVISION NETWORK" which is the revolution to entertainment, can you explain more about it in details?

LLuvi Johnson: Open Vision is the NEWEST form of broadcast technology.  We are an International Multichannel TV Distributor; with technology that supersedes Linear Television, Cable, Hulu Plus, Zeebox and all others combined.   Picture it this way, traditional cable connects thou Digital boxes and cable wires, satellite tv, thru satellite dishes & OpenVision connects thou cyber space on any   WiFi/Broadband device, Smart Phones, Computers, tablets, smart TV’s.  Once connected, you are in cyberspace, with multiple channels NOT video clips.  What’s so special about our cable, 1: we are available in every country in the world and we are completely free with no equipment to buy!

So look out for Soulja Boy TV real soon.

Geneva: Now this is normally where I'll ask for advice, what’s the biggest mistake made for upcoming business people?

Geneva: What changes have you seen personally or overall in media, that's been for the better? 


LLuvi Johnson: Although I’m not in Music now, that is my background and I’m fairly new to what I’m doing in Media, so I’m not sure if I can answer that objectively!

PUSHA T INSIDE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW & INSIGHT

The Virginia MC on his debut solo LP, working with Kanye, the controversy behind G.O.O.D. Music's "I Don't Like" remix, and the uncertain future of Clipse.
By Ryan Dombal , October 22, 2012 
Thanks to his ginned-up appearances on G.O.O.D. Music hits like "Mercy", "New God Flow", and the remix of Chief Keef's "I Don't Like", Pusha-T  is more visible right now than at any other time since Clipse  broke in with "Grindin'" 10 years ago. "I've never felt more like a rapper in my life," he says with a laugh, calling from his Virginia home a week before embarking on a brief European solo tour.. "I'm doing rapper shit: collaborating with motherfuckers left and right, going to listening sessions. I mean, I have rappers in my phone-- I've never had rappers in my phone." He'll try to parlay that momentum into his debut solo album for Def Jam, which is tentatively due out early next year and set to feature production from No I.D., Swizz Beatz, Rico Beatz, The-Dream, Pharrell, Young Chop, Travi$ Scott, and Kanye West, who's behind the witch-doctor instrumental for first single "Pain".

Pitchfork: As an artist who's been around for a decade, what's your mindset like getting ready to release your first solo record?Pusha-T: All of this is about timing and prepping the public. I feel like when people first heard my sound on G.O.O.D. Music, they were like, "Oh man, you need to drop an album now!" But I treated my progress like a totally new artist: I wanted to be on records, drop a mixtape, do virals, and go on the road for records that don't really have a true body of work to attach themselves to. I want people to delve into what the hell I'm doing, the purity of the rap. I wasn't going to be arrogant, like, "Man, y'all know me!" They don't. I mean, some people do, but a lot don't.

It's funny, my godson is 12, and when [the recent Tyler, the Creator collaboration] "Trouble On My Mind" came out, his friend said to him, "Tyler's with this new dude called Pusha-T-- and he got busy on that record!" It was the awakening of awakenings. Like, I am 10 years strong in this shit! But I am new. That's exactly why you must respect the game and give so much: records, freestyles, collaborations. You have to.

Pitchfork: While it makes perfect sense for a 12-year-old to not be familiar with your work, I'm not sure if other artists would have such a positive outlook if put in that same position.
PT: That's where ego comes into play. Like, why would I be frustrated that a 12-year-old doesn't know my dope boy chronicles from 10 years ago? Are you serious? What am I supposed to do, give him my discography and say, "Now you take that, go home, and study!"? He was only two when we first came out! I got a big fucking ego, but it ain't that big.

It ain't my job to be fucking out here, telling people what I've done, or acting like you should know what I've done. I should continue being good, and just let people say, "Wait a minute, Pusha is in my top five right now."

Pitchfork: Hearing your verses on songs like "Mercy" and "New God Flow", it sounds like you're hungrier than you've been in the last couple years. Did something happen to make you re-energize?

PT: No, man. It's about being around the creators that I'm around: Kanye West, fucking Big Sean, Common, numerous producers, from Hit-Boy to Mike Will to fucking Mike Dean, to young upstarts like Travi$ Scott and Young Chop. And there's a certain energy that you have to have to compete with what's going on right now. A lot of people can't do it. But my energy is my win, as well as having substance and rap fundamentals. It's an angst. These statements, like, [from "New God Flow"]: "I believe in a God above me, I'm just the god of everything else." You can't just say that if you don't believe that.

Pitchfork: I'm curious, as far as how the G.O.O.D. Music crew works, do you guys put together a bunch of records and then figure out where things go afterwards?
PT: We don't do shit. We all get a skeleton, write verses, and then 'Ye X's motherfuckers out. [laughs] He X's this guy out, edits that guy's shit, and then we come back and there's a song on top of a new beat. That's how it works.

Pitchfork: As a guy with a healthy ego, is it hard to be edited or X'd out.
PT: No. I just had to learn what 'Ye was looking for. At the end of the day, you have to remember that this Cruel Summer<http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16994-cruel-summer/>  shit-- all this shit-- is his shit. He wants certain performances. Luckily for me, 'Ye likes something that I already do; he's time travelling when it comes to me. He goes, "Man, I want 'Keys Open Doors' <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU-MGQksnZ4> -- please don't be nice." So it's not bothersome to have to re-write for him. But let me tell you what is bothersome: when he edits my verses and something I want to say is taken out. That becomes a problem. But that's my problem, and we have this discussion all the time. It's a give and take. If I want to keep something in the song, he'll say to me, "I can't give you that alley-oop if you have so many bars, it doesn't work that way."
