And like all fairy tales, they both live happily ever after, wedding and all.</p><p>Robyn&#8217;s video for &#8220;Bad Gal,&#8221; a bonus track from her <em>Body Talk Pt. 2</em> EP, is a more subdued affair. The clip was filmed in the south of France and features adorable producers <strong>Savage Skull</strong><strong>s</strong> and <strong>Douster </strong>of <strong>Diplo</strong>&#8216;s Mad Decent label. The video sees Robyn gyrating in a body conscious dress and cut-out jean jacket while Skulls and Douster randomly gallivant about the French countryside.</p><p>Check out these stylish ladies work it out and try not to shake your body at least halfway to the ground.</p><p><object

href="http://www.shaneeli.com"><em><span>Shane Eli</span></em></a><em>, the producer behind Diggy Simmons’ first single, is already commanding attention. Critics are raving over the album, which he wrote, recorded and produced entirely by himself out of his L.A apartment. Along with compliments are coming comparisons to another entrepreneurial rapper: Drake. At first glance it might seem like they look and sound the same, but for his first Swarm column, Eli digs a little deeper to show us that while both are talented, he offers something different.</em></p><p>I was born in Ottowa, Canada, and then I was out. My parents divorced soon after I was born and my mom raised me by herself. We had a lot of ties in the Bahamas, so we bounced back there. Then she got into a masters program in L.A, which is where I eventually grew up. She was doing it all. More than anything though, she developed a serious love of music in me. We had a wide range of influences in the house, from old-school vinyl records to more contemporary music. It inspired me to take my sound into a bunch of different directions.</p><p>I loved it music, but in the beginning I thought I might be a pro-athlete. I played sports my whole life, so it wasn’t until early college that I really started to fall in love with music. I recognized how it can take you the furthest and fastest emotionally. You can be in  a bad mood and be in a good mood again. It transforms you. At the same time I saw friends who played at school and didn’t make it into a pro-team just fall apart. They had nothing. I thought music would be a better outlet for me. It seemed like something you could create your whole life.<br

style="text-align: left;">I can&#8217;t really stand hip hop and I really never listen to it, but if you let Travis Barker remix the song I&#8217;m in! The man is a genius when it comes to playing drums, and his rad drum set just makes him look even better.<span

Just wear your favorite pair of Diesel jeans to one of the following participating Diesel locations for a chance to snag invitations to this once in a lifetime, private event.

style="text-align: left;">-July 29th and 30th Union Square at 14th Street at 5pm</p><p

Stop by the 5th Avenue Planet store for some enjoyable jams!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://fashionindie.com/event-alert-dieselumusic-tour-hits-nyc/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
