D-SISIVE RELEASES MR. DAYDREAM (VIDEO)
D-Sisive has just released the video for his latest single Mr. Daydream from the critically acclaimed album, Let The Children Die.
Directed by the visionary Gemini Award winner Miles Davren, Mr. Daydream explores the feelings of loss and the struggle to differentiate between fantasty and reality in trying times. An emotionally visceral video experience, with contrasting elements of black and white switched with colour, old and new, child and adult, and many more – it leaves the viewer in a raw, dreamy and contemplative state.
Otherwise known as Derek Christoff, Torontonian D-Sisive, has always been known for pushing the boundaries in his music. Often citing David Bowie and The Beach Boys as sources of inspiration, he has further pulled from his own afflictions to create the eclectic sound for Let The Children Die. A Juno and a Polaris Prize long listed nominee, and an all around phenomenal talent –D-Sisive has further proved his innovative skills from with this masterwork of a vid
Major Lazer – Keep Watch Vol.10 – C
ABOUT THE MIX
Today marks the tenth installment of Mishkaʼs illustrious Keep Watch mixes. From the outset, music has always played a big role in shaping the Mishka brand. With strong ties to various artists, and a creative team that is constantly inspired and influenced by their musical predilections the Keep Watch Mixes have become as much of the Mishka fabric as its seasonal line.
Ten volumes and approximately one year later, the mixes have greatly exceeded all expectations. As a result, weʼve decided to celebrate the 10th installment in a special way. For our tenth volume, we enlisted the services of electro-reggae-dancehall virtuoso Major Lazer. And to coincide with the special mix, Mishka produced a limited run Major Lazer tee designed by Skinny Digital. Long time supporters of Mishka and often considered family, the t-shirt was a perfect way to compliment the Major Lazer curated mix.

Dear Friends,
Since I started Freshjive, I have had a personal conflict with this business of “branding”. In fact, I was so conflicted at one time, that I quit working. I am in the business of promoting the company brand yet personally I am not interested in items for the brand name. It’s a bit of a quagmire with me because I hate the culture of promoting a brand yet I enjoy designing clothes and t shirt designs.
Beginning with our spring 2010 line, we will no longer be using our brand logo or name on any of our product, including all labeling and t shirt designs. Nowhere on any product will our name or previous brand logo be used anymore.
Regards,
Rick Klotz

CANADA TECH – World’s first truly secure personal credit card reader keeps PC safe while shopping online
Regina, SK – July 14, 2009 – NetSecure Technologies is proud to offer US consumers the immediate availability of SmartSwipe, a personal credit card reader that keeps your credit card information and identity completely safe when you’re shopping online. Plug the SmartSwipe into your computer’s USB port, visit your favorite online stores, and swipe your credit card exactly like you would at a shop. SmartSwipe then scrambles and encrypts the user’s credit card data before it reaches the user’s computer or internet providing instant protection from malicious software attacks.
Traditional online security only protects your sensitive information once it has reached the internet, but not while it’s sitting on your computer. Credit card companies, online retailers and security professionals spend millions every year to make the internet a safer place for credit card transactions. Despite these constant advances, credit card data is stolen every day due to the vulnerability of personal computers. Hackers and thieves make a living taking your credit card data and personal information right from the desktop.
“Until now, there hasn’t been an affordable and effective solution for consumers to securely protect their credit card data while shopping online” said Daniel McCann, President of NetSecure Technologies. “Hackers have extremely sophisticated methods of circumventing traditional internet security to steal your personal information right from your computer. SmartSwipe facilitates transactions that leave no trace of credit card data, guaranteeing your information remains secure.”
SmartSwipe features simple plug and play installation and also eliminates the need to manually enter credit card information saving time while you shop online. The SmartSwipe works with nearly every major credit card and credit/debit card combination including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. System requirements include Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Internet Explorer 6 or higher. It also features a 90 day no-hassle return policy should you not be 100% satisfied.
The SmartSwipe is available now from SmartSwipe.ca with a MSRP of $99.95. For more information and a brief product demo video, please visit www.smartswipe.ca.
