LEADNEVERFOLLOW | VOLUME 1 | Mixtape
by Leaders1354
The day has finally come. After a month of singles and releases, Leaders 1354 is proud to debut the full-length compilation project, LEAD NEVER FOLLOW, a perfect way for one of Chicago’s premier street wear brands and clothing boutique to start off 2015. Lead by singles from Spenzo, Taylor Bennett and BJ The Chicago Kid, LEAD NEVER FOLLOW puts on for yet another wave of talented young stars from the ‘Go. Boasting talented veterans ready to break through commercially like BJ and Spenzo to stalwarts like YP and Giftz and newcomers such as Roosevelt The Titan and Satchel Stokes, Leaders 1354 provides a rare glimpse into a full swath of what is to come out of one of the country’s most bountiful hip-hop locales in the coming months. Along with the release of the project today we also have limited edition LEAD NEVER FOLLOW long sleeve t-shirts which bear the album artwork and can be seen on Taylor Bennett below. The point of the mixtape is to raise the profile of the city at large, something the brand has been keen to do since opening their doors in Hyde Park at the original store front. Check out the project below and a post would be most appreciated!
The full project boasts tracks from the likes of Z Money, Giftz and BJ The Chicago Kid, among other talented locals. LDRS 1354 has always prided itself on being a central hub to the local music and art scene, Chance The Rapper had his first listening party for his 10 Day project in the storefront at 672 N. Wells and their gear has been seen on the backs of everyone from Jay-Z to Anthony Davis. We have big plans for 2015 and would love to begin it with your support, feel free to check out the music and post as you see fit. The project release is the culmination of several months of work and is a perfect sampler platter for the next wave of talent coming out of Chicago. Leaders has been part of that scene from the beginning and celebrates another year of that today with the drop of the full-length project and accompanying long sleeve.

LUDO | CHAOS THEORY | NEW VIDEO
WRITTEN BY: ANI PALEN/GreenLabel
Last summer, Paris-based contemporary artist Ludo took the streets of Thailand as part of a series of global street expeditions.
"Thailand's capital was an obvious choice to hit for many reasons," he says. "First, because the city is not over saturated at all with art on walls. That makes it a new, interesting place to discover and a virgin land to cover."
Perhaps more important was his second reason: "The endless chaos. The unlimited mix of noises, smells, and colors."
He showcased all these things in his new film, The Chaos Theory, a video created as a way to push his exhibition of the same name at Lazarides Gallery.
As for possible reasons behind the chaos in the world, Ludo says this: "Disorder creates order or order motivates our disorganization."

Genetically Engineering Everything | Nova Next
Posted by Tim De Chant/Nova Next
Just under 40 years ago, scientists created the first genetically modified organism by inserting antibiotic resistance genes into the bacteria E. coli. Since that time, researchers have modified everything from salmon to tomatoes and corn. But a new development, announced this summer, could exponentially increase our power over the genome.
Kevin Esvelt and George Church, both scientists at Harvard University, along with collaborators, published the framework for an entirely new way of modifying organisms, one that they say is mere months away from reality. It has the potential to alter the DNA of nearly any sexually-reproducing organism—tame or wild—at unprecedented scales.
Eleanor Nelsen and I reported on the technique, dubbed CRISPR-Cas9 gene drives, back in July:
Cas9-based gene drives could be one of the most powerful technologies ever discovered by humankind. “This is one of the most exciting confluences of different theoretical approaches in science I’ve ever seen,” says Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University. “It merges population genetics, genetic engineering, molecular genetics, into an unbelievably powerful tool.”
The technique could wipe out malaria or provide new, safer ways to control weeds. But they’ll only finish their work if we as a society give our assent.
The two-part system works by using CRISPR—a remarkably efficient way to modify genomes—to insert gene drives into an organism’s chromosomes. These drives then copy themselves between chromosomes, ensuring that each of their offspring contain a copy of the gene. Within a handful of generations, entire populations could contain the exact traits we desire.
CRISPR-Cas9 gene drives could not only limit the transmission of diseases, they could also alter wild populations to aid their survival in a ecosystems dominated by humans and upended by global warming. The technique’s remarkable potential will undoubtedly make it one of the most controversial—and important—issues of the coming years.
