A-Trak’s Nike Original Run album
In conjunction with A-Trak’s Nike Original Run album, Running Man, Serato has produced a limited edition 12″ vinyl picture disc, with artwork designed by Dust La Rock. We have two copies to giveaway to LAEM subscribers who leave a message under this post saying why they really want one.
Nike+ Sport Music and Serato White Label Delivery Network are proud to announce the first official 12” control vinyl picture-disc that celebrates DJ A-Trak’s debut album Running Man: Nike+ Original Run.
Adding another layer of “I gotta’ have this!” to the mix, custom artwork from the Brooklyn-based artist Dust La Rock graces the disc. The design features Dust La Rock’s newly-iconic “Mr. A” figure, lifted from the cover of the A-Trak Original Run album.
As A-Trak explains, “It’s the first official Serato picture disk on their Whitelabel.net label. I used to test out their beta version way before it was available commercially – so now it all came full circle.”
Only 1,000 promo pieces of the limited-edition control vinyl picture discs were manufactured. The majority of these will be shipped worldwide to Serato and Whitelabel.net DJs, while a holdback of 50 discs will be exclusively avail through select online partners.
The collaboration also features downloads from the Running Man: Nike+ Original Run album available at www.whitelabel.net, including the single “Say Whoa” and the exclusive single “My Time” w/ Kid Cudi.
Running Man: Nike+ Original Run is available exclusively in the Nike Sport Music section of the iTunes Store for $9.99. Purchase it here.

Star Wars Uncut: a fully crowdsourced version of Episode IV
The project of creative technologist, Casey Pugh, this full length version of the George Lucas masterpiece was created from multiple 15 second segments recreated from the original movie and submitted by thousands of Star Wars fans, which were then spliced together by editor Aaron Valdez to form the final product. Genius, as both a commentary on contemporary pop culture trends (there are references to LEGO, stop motion, memes and the like) and on the power of tapping your audience for quality material.
Filmmaker creates LEGO stop motion to propose to girlfriend
Now, this is one for the ages: back in 2010, Atlanta film-maker Walter Thompson created a jaw-dropping LEGO stop motion to propose to Nealey Dozier, his girlfriend of four years. The video took 22 hours of shooting and some 2,600 pictures to splice together, a small sacrifice to pay for years of happiness together. Right? Right! Oh, and she said yes. Bonus.
