EDITORS LETTER
Well a new year has finally arrived. May your New Years Resolution be forever in your favor! Wellif you actually took the time to make one. I didnt bother with concocting a lofty goal this year. Why? Because I want to do my best every day. Push my limits. Set new goals. Trump my old challenges with new ones. I think ultimately this is what we as people hun-ger for. A new us. Resolutions are innate in our nature. We crave increased performance, better results and ultimately a better us. If De-cember 31st of every year is your purposed date of change, thats completely okay, be-cause change is good. But Id like to chal-lenge you to be a new, improved, dynami-cally awe inspiring you every day! Face new challenges. Create new goals. Trump yourself time and time again. Because.CHANGE IS GOOD!
In this issue of Muve Mag chat it up with Katie Wicks, check out OKCs newest Desirable Des-tination; Pink Cadillac, poke at your holiday hangover, discuss why bow ties and suspend-ers are no longer Urkel attire, and connect with the guys behind Fashion Atlantis.
As always,
Read. Enjoy. Share.

MUSIC
ONTHE MUVE

We have heard you are a symphonic soundtrack lover.
YES! I listen to the Last of Mohegans
soundtrack or Braveheart. I also
favor Yani and Enya. I almost cried
the other day because I missed Yanis

vian Kitchen recently. On the Muve with Katie Wicks, after the jump.
concert. The show was scheduled on
a Wednesday, and of course Im busy
that night. I listen to Yani so much at
home, B sings it now, like all the time.
Id imagine that writing symphonic
music is super intense. Writing
MUSIC
-
symphony music involves so many
dynamics & focus. It definitely
requires more skill than just clicking
and dragging a mouse and turning
knobs. Orchestras have nearly 20-50
instruments all working in accord to
create one unified sound. Theres a
deep beauty in that.
Is there beauty in EDM?
Yes and No. Its difficult to tell the
difference between each artist any
more. Pointing out an artist based on a
tracks production is extremely difficult.
I dont believe that originality is getting
fair play nowadays.
I think you can tell when someone
just put it out, to get it out. Sacrificing
quality for quantity. When Daft Punk
scored the Tron movie, they managed
to keep their flare and sound intact
while scoring a timeless soundtrack.
Music should move you in an interesting
way. Very few do this for me now. I
stumbled upon the Avicii Wake Me
Up track, its one of my favorite songs
now. Thats interesting because its Top
40, but its a moving song nonetheless.
Kids at the Bar did a remix of Aviciis
You and Me, I favor that one as well.
Music should move you in

Tell us about your show on The Spy.
I play a lot of old dance music,
tech-house, trap, and big room.
The show doesnt really have
a theme. I would describe my
show as anything you can
dance too. When most people
think of dance music they think
of in your face stuff. I like to play
a melting pot of tracks from
ragers to tunes you can clean
your house to. I find a lot of my
tracks on sound cloud. Its ripe
with gems. After every show I
post my playlist online.
I like to keep the mix to where
it progresses steadily. I usually
start off with tech-house tracks
then move into louder songs
at the end. Its three hours of
commercial free music. Its like
an unabridged story.
Have you always wanted to be a producer?
I never anticipated being in a
DJ/producer duo but B. and I
MUSIC
-
always wanted to work together beyond throwing
parties. Whenever I started dance rock was big,
well it wasnt the 90s like every one else, Im only
24. You didnt have to worry about super mixing you
just kinda played tracks. If it was fun you could play
it. Playing Hall and Oats and then Justice would
get people dancing. Comparing the dance floors
of then to the dance floors of now, I dont think
you could really get away with playing that type
of music. The dance music fans now need have to
lights, loud music and an in your face experience
in order for them to enjoy it. Theres nothing wrong
with that. However, I like music thats sensual.

What was the first Crystal Vision Track?
There was the GIF of Geordi LaForge as a star trek
character. Rhythm is a Dancer playing with it. So
we decided to remix Rhythm is a Dancer. That
was the first song we did as Crystal Vision.
Whats Next for Crystal Vision?
Its funny because a lot of people know that Im
obviously pregnant. But that hasnt stop me or us
from doing anything. I still do Robotic Wednesdays,
-
MUSIC
-
I just dont drink. Which of course is not
that big of a problem to me. People
are like How do you do it? Im like I dont know, DONT DRINK. You can
have a good time without drinking.
During the first three months of my
pregnancy, after we played our set
Chad from Kids at the Bar would go on,
for some reason his set would totally
put me to sleep. It has to be something
with that bass, I would just pass out
on the couch. Who could really sleep
through that? Me!
Chad was like Why do you keep
passing out during my sets. I told him,
I swear its not you, its just that the
bass kinda lulls me, man.
My need for naps could be attributed
to my lack of caffeine. Whenever I first
found out about my pregnancy I cut
caffeine cold turkey. I thought I was
dying. Once my hormones evened
out I was fine. At times it was hard to
be in public because people would
come up and talk to me and in my
head Id think, why are you talking to
me right now. It was definitely hard to
keep my composure and get attuned
MUSIC

to the changes. But Ive managed.
Preganancy is definitely a very weird
thing. Its the weirdest thing Ive
probably ever been through. Although
I dont feel like Ive changed that
much, well, besides my boobs being
huge. My belly is starting to grow and I
vigorously rub oil everywhere because
Im super conscious about stretching.
Being pregnant has inspired me in an
interesting way. It has made me want
to work harder and make sure that I
make a lasting imprint before I fall off
the face of the earth for a few months
for maternity leave. I think my biggest
fear is being irrelevant for just a little bit,
and then having to build myself back
up. I dont think its going to be that
way though, seeing that I made it this
far.
Ive got the crib set up and tons of toys
ready for her. Shes due around April
10th. Its hard for me not to Marvel
Comic out her room. Im sticking with
MUSIC
-
a lot of neutral colors for her room. Im
sure she is going to love pink because
I hate it.
As far as Crystal Vision, we are still
doing stuff. We just released a remix a
few weeks ago. So its not the end of
the world. Im not sure if a lot people
will understand that though. Like DJ
Whiiite told me Never let any one tell
you that having a kid is the end of the
world, you can still do everything you
do now. You are just going to have to
work harder.
You know all in all I dont see anything
that will change to drastically. Because
Im really a homebody. Im home more
often than not, writing music or just
hang in. In the beginning Im sure that
breast feeding will add more theatrics
to my day. Youd think Id want this
baby to be a DJ baby, but I wouldnt
mind it being totally opposite of me.
Like, an astrophysicist, which would
be totally cool with me. Id rather her
go into science then go into the music
industry. Because the music industry
is really hard. Its not something that
you can go to school for and then
automatically make it big in.
One of the cool things about having a
kid is that when I give her advice thats
MUSIC
-
something that she is going to remember for the rest of her life. So you really have to watch you say.
Theres stuff that your mom or dad has probably told
you and hold on to that forever. I dont want to mold
her into something that I want her to be. I want to
mold her into something that she wants to be. Leave
the advice and a gateway. Be super open minded,
I think that will be the best practice.

MUVE MAG
This past December, Bricktown received a new addition. Fresh and authentic, Pink Ca-dillac delivers a sports bar experience infused with the limitless energy of OKCs vibrant nightlife. Its the perfect addition to OKCs entertainment district landscape. Muve Mag caught up with Pink Cadillac owner, Jeff Rogers to chat about his new destination on
Sheridan Ave.
What is Pink Cadillac?
Pink Cadillac is a bar concept. We are open 7 days a week, Monday through Friday, 5 PM to 2 AM . Saturday and Sunday, from noon until 2 AM.
You wont find a DJ at this new Bricktown destination.The evenings soundtrack features an iTunes & Pan-dora Jukebox.
I believe that there are few places in Bricktown that offer a no cover, no dress code policy. Pink Cadillac will deliver a relaxed atmosphere that is suiting for diverse demographics. Ul-timately, Pink Caddy, will be the bar that young business professionals can land after work to have a beer, during a Thunder Game or before hitting the town.

What brought about the desire to open Pink Cadillac?
Ive been in the nightclub business for sometime now. Ive seen so many trends come and go, I felt there was a need for a concept such as this in Bricktown. I think a lot of people want to get into the nightclub business, es-pecially right now. I wanted to step away from the norm and really fo-cus on bringing a fresh and authentic concept to Bricktown. Something that would smoothly bridge the gap be-tween bars and nightclubs.
How does Pink Cadillac differ from your establishments?
My other establishments each have their respective dress code policies, cover charges and are centered around all those things that make nightclubs alluring. From the DJ to the lights and the loud music, I feel my oth-er spots in Bricktown deliver a party vibe. Pink Cadillac is a step in a differ-ent direction. Its for people that want to go out without enduring the dress codes, cover charges, loud music or rambunctious crowds. I think it speaks to many demographics and specific ones all in the same stones through. Its for the sports fan, for the pub fan, and for the 9 to 5er that wants a quick beer after work.

Light Weights. More Reps.
Lifting weights shouldnt be an affair
akin to a tough man contest. Light
weights with more reps do the trick
just as effectively. It was once a
misconception that heavy weight
lifting aided rapid muscle growth and
weight loss. In some cases, for advance
fitness enthusiast, lifting larger masses
increases muscle size. In actuality,
your dieting habits along with the
intensity, duration and frequency of

Eat Clean. Get Lean.
Sub those fatty foods that you indulged in over the holidays with clean choices such as, fresh veggies, fruits, lean meats such as fish and poultry, and whole grains. Prepare your meals with light servings, opt for natural seasonings instead of salts. Accompany your meals with water or juices. Of course, avoid carbonated beverages which can be high in sugar. Stay committed and in time your holiday hangover will be a thing of the past.
