It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard new music from Mickey Factz. Now, he has returned with his new concept mixtape, Mickey MauSe. The tape follows Mickey’s pseudo character in the 1980s and features samples of Dangermouse and Deadmau5. Here’s Mickey’s breakdown of the tape:

Mickey MauSe is a pseudo character created by RCA artist Mickey Factz, who is thrown into the 1980s as a graffiti writer who was among the stars of that decade: Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Fab Five Freddy, then mentor Andy Warhol, etc.

Rush, an Australian photographer with a penchant for black & white, draws from his beginnings as a DJ.  Upon completing his education at the School of Art at the Australian National University, Rush came to the United States to work in Los Angeles.  There he was able to work closely with Hip-Hop and Hollywood related events, which enabled him to publish work on MTV.com and in Rhyme & Reason magazine.  Since then, Rush has circulated his work throughout Australia and the United States in addition to some exposure in Germany and Mexico.  His work with Patrick “Patty” Mills—a well-known Australian star who plays with the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers—in addition to bands such as Bone Thugs & Harmony and Koolism have helped Rush make a name for himself.

Rush’s first solo exhibition is due to open at 6 PM Thursday, June 16th at The Front Gallery in Canberra, Australia.  His “One Shot Polaroid Exhibition” was concocted with the hopes of evoking a sense of spontaneity.  While photographing over a four-month period in Canberra, Sydney and Los Angeles, Rush limited himself to one shot of each subject.  Over 400 Polaroids will be on display, including shots of DEADMAU5, Skrillex, Naughty by Nature and many others.

The exhibit is set to run from June 16^th—June 27^th, 2011.
