TidalWave Comics Presents #9: Camelot and Zeus

His rent is late, the gods are gunning for him, and to top it all off, the nefarious Captain Steel is creating havoc of epic proportions. What’s a hero to do? The Odyssey returns with a story that shows it takes more than a cape and a cool name to be a hero. Guest starring Zeus, God of Thunder.

SubPac Lets You Wear A Subwoofer And Listen In New Way

1 Comment

If you’re a fan of body shaking bass frequencies and missed our article from waaaay back in 2016 about SubPac, read on because you’re in for a treat.

SubPac is a pioneering technology from Los Angeles, California that is defining the physical-sound category where music, VR, games and film can be experienced in a whole new way. Through its patent-pending immersive physical-sound technology, SubPac transcends the traditional audio experience by allowing users to actually feel sound throughout their body.

Wear a subwoofer? Sounds like fun!

SubPac is creating its own physical-sound category through two unique products; the SubPac M2, a wearable vest, and the SubPac S2, a seatback device. Both create a new form of expression for musicians and sound designers to connect with their fans on a deeper level by using innovative technology that allows consumers to physically feel sound. This tangible connectivity captivated GRAMMY-winning producer Timbaland to come on board as a partner and introduce the brand to the music industry.

“SubPac is a game changing experience for both artists and fans,” said Timbaland. “It lets you feel the music like never before.  It’s the feeling that’s been missing, until now.”

The SubPac vest is getting a lot of attention and its clear that listeners on the go are ready for an immersive experience, especially one that works while being active- jogging, playing basketball, cycling etc. It’s a logical step to add a wearable to our listening routines and the idea now is to connect your smartphone to the SubPac control unit via the headphone connection. This allows for an audiophile hookup of headphones for the mid and high frequencies and  vest for the bass frequencies.

Now you can feel deep bass wherever you go and wherever you choose to enjoy your music.

Hip Hop Jewelry Like A Rose Gold Jesus With Brown Ice

1 Comment

It's 2013 and "moto's and escapade's" might not be synonymous with Rap Kings (and Queens) these days- but Rose Gold bling is making a comeback. CP

Hip-Hop is a culture, it’s a lifestyle, it’s an artistic expression and yes, it’s jewelry.

Since its inception Hip-Hop has always been edgy, outside the box, and ready to make a statement at all times; not just musically, but also in a fashion sense.

Rose gold, also known as red gold or pink gold made a big comeback in the world of Hip-Hop a few years ago but did you know Rose gold was popular at the beginning of the nineteenth century in Russia, formerly giving it the name “Russian gold”?  This term is no longer used. This type of gold is also often used in making musical instruments.

Christian Jennings is one of the top flute players in the world- she chooses to play a customized flute made out of Rose Gold. CP

Companies such as King Ice are selling Hip-Hop inspired Rose gold jewelry, stating that it is reappearing due to artists such as Rick Ross and Kanye West being seen wearing items made from this gold and copper alloy.

Drake can even be seen with an extremely expensive Rose gold watch on the cover of his Grammy award winning sophomore album Take Care .

If you need a bit more convincing about the resurgence of rose gold bling in the hip-hop community- check out this cover from Drake's new album Take Care.

Whether you’re a “Hip-Hop head”, an occasional listener, or never venture into that world at all, Rose gold is becoming a statement piece and doesn’t seem to be disappearing anytime in the near future. For the Silo, Brent Flicks.
