run for your life ! (part.2)

I've already shared you a nike+ track some time ago (here), made by LCD Soundsystem. This track, "45:33", is excellent, it really helps you to do that extra mile.

Nike asked 4 artists, including Goose - a belgian electropop dance band, to make one new track, called Passo4. For now, it's only available on the Italian itunes store, but thanks to me, you can have it here !

enjoy your jogging !

Who made who - Passo4 - part1
Alex Neri - Passo4 - part2
Stylophonic - Passo4 - part3
Goose - Passo4 - part4

vic de wolf

Victoria de Wolf is young belgian artist, with a lot of talent.

Born in 1984, she studied illustration at St-Luc, a famous art school in Brussels, and still studies graphic communication.

Besides being a graphic designer and an illustrator, she paints, but not enough if you ask me...
