If he hadn't been there, we would have started the car which would have led to ignition and then "boom".

PAUL DEVRO - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


He sets parties and hearts on fire (that's love), his energy and charisma will put a smile even on the ice grillest meansters, and he reps Mad Decent and Heaps Decent with the realness. There can be only one Paul Devro, and that's him!

Genevan: Favorite summer vacation spot

Paul Devro: This place family rents all summer on an Indian reserve, there's a river that runs into the ocean. There's so much wildlife there, seals, crawfish, eagles, salmons, giant jellyfishes, deers, lots of snakes!!! I catch maybe 20 snakes a day. We got kayaks and go drop traps, after a few hours they get filled with big crabs. Then we eat!

G: Best summer vacation memory or beach anecdote

P: Growing up I made a spear out of a telescopic pole with a huge straightened out barbed hook strapped to it. And when the salmons would spawn in the summer, me and my friends would find pools where they'd get stuck in until the next rain fall. So we'd go swim and spear the fish. But damn there's so many summer stories but they are too long.

G: Reading material for the beach

G: Best beach animal

DJ RAZE - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


He lives in a world where hours are minutes (or is it the opposite? I don't know but I will call it The DJ Raze Timewarp), he gets arrested by Geneva cops because he's bumpin' music to loud in his car (while, I'd like to add, rollin' maaaaaaad slow in in the middle of the city at 5am), and his birthday parties are probably the best barbecues you'll ever attend.

Martin in deep concentration.

Sensitive Summer, Day 4: Family Vacation

Day 4 at the beach. So far so hot.

Let's go!


TIM WAGNER (OF 33HZ) - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


Tim Wagner of 33Hz is a sensitive fellow, a glorious mystical genius of his own time, a human time machine, the person who introduced me to Two and a Half Men, and a strong believer in the theory which states that Gremlins 2 is without any doubt one of the greatest movies of all time. Mr. Wagner is science and love!

Genevan: Favorite summer vacation spot

Tim Wagner: The front stoop of my Brooklyn apartment building. Sometimes the best beach is the Tar Beach.

G: Best way to beat the heat in summer

T: The real BEACH of course.

G: Choice of beach drink

T: Pina Colada. Yum.

G: Obligatory beach items

T: A bottle of Evian, A bottle of Pellegrino, a good book & some music. Yum.

G: Favorite beach movie

T: Commando “....Slitting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter.“ Yum.

G: Favorite beach or summer song

T: The Thong Song (Zshare).

G: How do your sandcastles look?

T: Like the four-toed statue of Taweret.

G: Best summer vacation memory or beach anecdote

T: The Summer me and my 3 best friends hiked a long way to see a dead body and defy Kiefer Sutherland. Or maybe the time I was walking along the beach and saw a second set of footprints...

G: Reading material for the beach

T: I like history and physics for the beach...Last summer I read a biography of the famous French diplomat Talleyrand as well as Parallel Universes by physicist Michio Kaku. On the lighter side, a copy of Nylon or Entertainment Weekly is always nice...

G: Best beach animal

T: I would have to say the Manatee.

G: Favorite ice cream

T: I am partial to the artificial Ice Cream genius known as the NUTTY BUDDY...Yum.

Tim Wagner always looks younger than the previous year when he hits the beach!

Day 3, baby! It's a very special one. We continue our world tour of beach specialists and this time we hit close to home. Lausanne that is. That's like 35 minutes away from Geneva. That's 15 minutes if you're in DJ Raze's car. Or 5 hours if he's playing his DJ Screw tapes in the car.


YAN (OF DIGITAL NATIVES) - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


Yan of super dj crew Digital Natives got that Joey Jeremiah swagger, throws the best shows in Lausanne, and is apparently super down with the expression "Cafe Soda & (add something of your choice)". What the fuck is up? Yan Luong is what the fuck is up!

Sensitive Summer, Day 2: Salt Or No Salt?

Day 2! We're off to a scorching start with the Sensitive Summer and if you don't know what I'm talking about, check the previous post. Let's go hard right away with this one. Beach?


RED FOXX - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


Red Foxx the grand wizard of Hearthrob is obsessed with bioluminescent plankton, deejays in satanic castles around the world, and throws life changing events in Boston every week, and probably even more. Red Foxx is that man!

Genevan: Favorite summer vacation spot

Red Foxx: If I am rich and can get the flight I like Barcelona or Sicily. Around here in the US I love Block Island. If I could go anywhere it would be Santorini but I'm not sure when that will happen. My ultimate DJ goal is to play Ibiza. But the real ultimate spot to swim in the summer exists in many places across the globe. There are certain bodies of water that are full of plankton that glow when you touch them. If you swim on a dark night you basically are swimming through fireworks or starfields - it's the most beautiful thing ever. Phosphorescence/bioluminescent plankton is amazing.

G: Best way to beat the heat in summer

R: I love the heat. I never use air conditioning. If I need to cool off I'll jump in the water. I also am an iced tea connoisseur.

G: Choice of beach drink

R: A lightly sweet mojito or maybe a pina colada. I don't mind drinking corny summer drinks when it's nice out, I want to get in the mood. For non-alcoholic options, home made iced tea or lemonade (or both mixed together) is always amazing.

G: Obligatory beach items

R: A moped/motorcycle/convertible to get there. Open aired transportation is a must. Other than that a camera for the sunset, maybe a nice audio recorder so you can put June 6th, 2009, 6pm, Waves @ Singing Beach in the archive to listen to later as wallpaper. Building an open tent is good because I'm a ginger and will die in sunlight. It's also fun to bring like huge sheets or Indian headdresses and stuff. I think everyone should look like the MGMT cover at the beach.

G: Favorite beach movie

R: I don't know about that one, I like the home videos I make when I go on the trips. My own nostalgia impacts me more than any movie. I like surfing movies though.

G: Favorite beach or summer song

R: Right now it's Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool (Thin White Duke Remix) (Zshare) but in the past there was Three 6 Mafia - Da Summer (Zshare), Tensnake - Congolal (Zshare), in fact Tensnake is pretty good "beach house" in general...I think the Empire of the Sun album will be a good one for the beach this season. M83 always makes me think of the beach...The first self titled Rhythm & Sound album is really good, so is Pole... all that super minimal dubby stuff I listened to non stop on the beach in Barcelona a few years back.

G: How do your sandcastles look?

R: Satanic. Lots of bones, crab shells, dead things, pentagrams...I get the sand wet and drip it into towers so it looks like an evil Sagrada Familia.

G: Best summer vacation memory or beach anecdote

R: Swimming in bioluminescent water in the Chesapeake Bay.

G: Reading material for the beach

R: Nothing in particular is better than the other...Reading a Hemingway novel that takes place somewhere warm is always good.

G: Best beach animal

R: Bioluminescent plankton.

G: Favorite ice cream

R: Oatmeal cookie frozen yogurt.

Red Foxx beats the heat.

Day 3 is tomorrow.

Sensitive Summer, Day 1: On The Beach

Ladies and homies, welcome to Genevan's Sensitive Summer!

This is the first installment of a long series of installments. That's right.

What is Genevan's Sensitive Summer? It's a new Genevan Heathen release (music, video, clothing or whatever comes up) every single week from today to the end of August. It's beach interviews (with the whole damn world) pretty much every single day til the end of August. And it's mad summer songs and obviously a million summer movie pics, you know. Oh, wait til you see Genevan's Back To School is Cool series.

To celebrate the beginning of the Sensitive Summer, we celebrate the release of the infamous Genevan Heathen / Mattfoley beach towels, which were really made to celebrate the opening of the Genevan online store aka La Boutique du Genevan. Oh yeah we did a video for all that too. It's a celebration, puppies!

Fuck words, though. Let's bring all this good shit to life!

Yo, that sand looks mad weird, dude!


Mattfoley lives in Miami but found a way to not be at the beach when he had this pic taken. Man up Foley!


GO SHOPPING: Click here to buy Genevan Heathen beach towels and a million other things (credit card, paypal, ghostwriting)

Wait, we really made a video for this! Shout out to Emilio Estevez and L.E.D.

Sensitive Summer = insanity!


TEKI LATEX (OF TTC) - THE BEACH INTERVIEW


Genevan's blog readers don't need to be introduced to Teki Latex. Cause Teki has a guest room over here, you know! But do you know what Teki reads, eats, watches, builds, and thinks about at the beach? Every question has an answer, every mystery has an explanation.

Genevan: Favorite summer vacation spot

Teki: Since I'm a kid summer vacation is synonymous with chillin with my family in Auvergne, then going to the South of France, and spending a little bit of time in Italy next to the French border. But as you may know, I'm pretty much a city guy so I have to mention I enjoy chillin in Montreal and checking out the busy summer nightlife and the electronic festivals and stuff.

G: Favorite way to beat the heat in summer

T: The balconeh, you know it.

G: Choice of beach drink

T: Bloody mary and a whole lot of San Pellegrino.

G: Obligatory beach items

T: A chair because I don't like sitting in the sand, a little "epuisette" to catch small fishes and little crustaceans hiding behind the rocks.

G: Favorite beach movie

T: Jaws

G: Favorite beach or summer song

T: Beach Boys - Kokomo (Zshare).

G: How do your sandcastles look?

T: Like mini zoos.

G: Best summer vacation memory or beach anecdote

T: Hitting "Marina baie des anges", that big mall between Cannes and Nice when I was a child and hearing Abba and Italo disco bumping through the speakers. Chasing grasshoppers in a park in Marseilles. Eating fried fish and fresh pizza. Falling in love with Italian girls.

G: Reading material for the beach

T: Le manuel des castors juniors, gossip magazines, crosswords.

G: Best beach animal

T: Mini octopus, mini seahorse, gobie sauteur.

G: Favorite ice cream

T: My all time favorite ice cream must be peanut butter chocolate milkshake but when it comes to beach stuff I'd say a good Italian style lemon ice cream is a must.

The Realist

New banner and new colors cause the summer special about to start. Before that, the perfect way to warm up is to listen to America's most complete artist, David "DJ Quik" Blake. DJ Quik easily one of the greatest hiphop artists ever (really) and simply a genius. If you don't believe me, you're weird. Matthew Africa just dropped an amazing DJ Quik mix. Yes!!!
