Soundset 2016 was a fuckin blast. The move to the State Fair Grounds proved a genius decision, everything about the experience was heightened to another level save for the bathrooms. Notable performances included Finding Novyon, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown, Mick Jenkins, Raury, Common, Prof, and Anderson .Paak among a host of others. Check out the wrap up video above and keep an eye out for more.

Cinco De Mayo is this Thursday so it’s time to start thinking about the options at hand. East Lake Street will once again host Minneapolis’ annual Cinco De Mayo parade which runs from 2nd Avenue to Portland Avenue. The event will feature traditional dancers, live music, arts, crafts, tons of food and games for the kids. A good time no doubt, the Cinco De Mayo parade is a great chance to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. This event is free and will go down rain or shine, click the link below for more information.
I’m a fan of the rings especially when it comes to this car….or supercar, rather. The 2016 Audi R8 is the second generation R8 and is also the basis for the GT3 race-car. Compared to its predecessor, the new R8 sheds around 110 lbs. and is a half second quicker in the 60. At 205 mph this R8 is the fastest Audi ever made for the streets. Stuffed to the gills, or side vents, with top of the line features like carbon-ceramic brake discs, custom stitched headliner, and in-car Wi-Fi, Audi looks to deliver the luxury it has been known for, as well as giving the prancing horses and raging bulls a run for their money. The car also comes with some eco-friendly features but I doubt those would be used very often. Speaking of eco-friendly, you can also special order the R8 “e-tron” which has more electric power than the Tesla Model S at 92 kWh. This will give the e-tron a range of 279 miles and can be charged in two hours. The e-tron is a bit slower than the R8 and has it’s speed limited to 155 mph. As the previous model R8 showed, there will probably be a V-8, and V-10 models ranging from $120k to $250k for the e-tron. Go cash in those refund checks quick.
BMW recently introduced the brand new design to their 1 series BMW. The model will be available in both the 3 door and 5 door options. Whether you are a fan or not, I personally find this smaller 326hp twin-turbo hatchback to be one sexy car. Aside from it’s small body and powerful engine, the new BMW will have a variety of technologically advanced features: assistant parallel parking, rain sensors, auto AC, LED lights and a radar based cruise control (to name a few).
