Summer 15 Issue
Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is called KL by locals. Its modern skyline is dominated by the 451m-tall
Petronas Twin Towers, a pair of glass-and-steel-clad skyscrapers with Islamic motifs. The towers also offer a public
skybridge and observation deck. The city is also home to British colonial-era landmarks such as the Kuala Lumpur
Railway Station and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
It is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in South-East Asia, in terms of population and economy.
A Note From the President
Having been in the entertainment industry for nearly as much time as Selenis Leyva, I can firmly state that there is
not a reality of an overnight success, and I know she agrees. Leyva graces the cover of this issue not only because
of her newly found stardom, but she is a symbol of something deeper than a complex character on Netflix’s
Orange Is the New Black.

Thus far, we have counted Leyva for being an advocate for increased racial relations within the Latino community
and an advocate for Latinos learning the potential of their political power, but it does not stop there. She is also an
advocate for the LGBT community, as she is a proud sister of a brave transgender woman. It is painstakingly obvious
that she would be on our cover; she is yet another example of what platforms should be used for.

Given her contributions to society (on and off the screen), she, unapologetically, uses her popularity as a platform
to broaden the perceptions of racial divides within the diasporic Latino community and to encourage Latinos to
get more politically involved, especially women. This past April, Leyva was the emcee for the annual I Stand with
Planned Parenthood Luncheon sharing the stage with Rock the Vote’s president, Ashley Spillane. There are even
whispers that she will be the face of a future Rock the Vote campaign.

Vivienne

THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF A
REVOLUTIONARY FASHION DESIGNER.
Vivienne Westwood – fashion designer, activist and renowned maverick
often credited with the creation of punk, a pillar of the fashion world and
one of the most original minds in contemporary clothes design – is the latest
creative luminary to be celebrated by Moleskine.
Anarchy Shirt
From the Anarchy shirt and Bondage suit to the Buffalo hat immortalized
by Pharrell Williams when he wore it to the 2014 Grammy Awards over 30
years after it was first launched, the publication focuses on key pieces in
Westwood’s collection, from 1976 to the present day. Groundbreaking
designs, such as the Mini-Crini, Statue of Liberty corset as well as the mockcroc 12-inch high platform shoes from the “Anglomania” collection, which
supermodel Naomi Campbell was wearing when she famously fell on the
runway, are reproduced in full color and supported by texts and other
images of the designer’s inspiration.
A previously unpublished interview is printed here for the first time, revealing
Westwood’s thoughts on contemporary art and design, and insights into her
own processes, beliefs and motivations. It is an important testimony to the
craftsmanship in the work of this fashion pioneer, who continues to break
down boundaries and challenge the status quo in our world today.

Hotels
The Break, which opened on June 19th, is
situated in New England’s long-board surf
capital and features 16 guest rooms and
suites (many of which boast ocean views),
each adorned with playful interiors that
capture the essence of Narragansett’s retro
surfer vibe. As with every Lark Hotel, The
Break provides guests with top-of-the-line
amenities. Features at The Break include
Apple TVs in every room, kimono robes, iPad/
iPod docking stations, and complimentary
Wi-Fi. Extra special amenities include a yearround heated outdoor pool, a spa treatment
room, fireplaces, and heated bathroom floors
to keep toes toasty in cooler months (The
Break is open year-round).
The Hotel Portsmouth joined the Lark Hotels collection on July 1st. Hidden within the façade of this
135-year-old historic mansion are 32 stylish, modern guest rooms and suites, each designed with light
and airy tones, plush and ultra-comfortable beds (a Lark signature), and relaxing treats. Common areas
weave rich leather furnishings with nautical artwork and cheerful, chirpy wallpaper patterns accented
by aqua colors. The hotel also houses an outdoor patio and garden, as well as a handful of secluded
event spaces, ideal for meetings, incentive retreats, and special events.
Guests are within a few minutes’ walk of Market Square and prime shopping, dining, and historic sights.

Culinary and mixology adventures can be
found at The Break’s Chair 5 – an “upscale
snack shack” bistro and bar where
Chef Basil Yu’s menu offers “a modern take
on New England cuisine with just a touch of
Asian flair.”

Simpang Asia is a delicate flower in an asphalt jungle.
I first stumbled upon this type of cuisine while on assignment in
Jakarta, Indonesia, and couldn’t believe the savory flavors that
erupted in my mouth – sweet with red chili peppers. Everything
was pan-fried and grilled to perfection. The street vendors served
up the most amazing, aromatic dishes. Many of the ingredients
were infused with lime leaves, lemon grass and garlic.
The culinary scene in Los Angeles has now arrived: Simpang
Asia. We started with an assortment of items. Beef and/or shrimp
fried rice came in large portions, bursting with chunks of meat.
Another meat lover’s favorite would be the jerk beef (Dendeng
Balado) and the grilled chicken. The beef had a great texture,
and the extremely spicy marinara sauce went well with steamed
brown rice. The grilled chicken was massive and juicy with loads
of flavor. Both dishes were served in black cast iron skillets.
If you’re a vegan, they also have an amazing kale garlic stir fry
that can go well with or without any main dish or entrée.
Nasi Bungkus is the most exotic dish and everyone’s favorite
– chicken curry, beef curry rendang, chili relish egg, light
vegetable curry wrapped in banana leaves. They cover this
traditional dish with wax paper and use rubber bands to hold it
closed. Of course, we snapped our bands and were enamored
as it unraveled itself. Other “honorable mentions” include the
chicken satay and the fried calamari – for once, it was crunchy.
Additionally, the restaurant is adjacent to an authentic
Indonesian grocery store so you can grab a few ingredients on
your way out. Furthermore, they have BYOB (Bring Your Own
Bottle) with no uncork fee.
All in all, if you’re seeking a spot that mimics an authentic
modern Indonesian cuisine with cafeteria-style seating, this is your
place.

Bentley Motors chose Western Norway for the global launch location of the 2016 Continental GT series
(Norway is known as the “Land of the Midnight Sun”). Since its introduction in 2003, the current version
of the Continental GT has been renowned the world over as the ultimate Grand Touring car, with the
performance, looks, power, comfort, superb build quality, history and heritage. The exterior has been
enhanced across the range with more pronounced fender lines, smaller grille, vanes on the front
bottom edge, wider stance and new 20” and 21” directional wheels. New badges and vents dress
the front fenders. At the rear, the bumper and fenders have been widened. The boot lid now features
an aerodynamic spoiler at the trailing edge, and a chrome garnish continues the chrome strip on the
rocker panel, completing the circle. For the Continental GT Speed, the 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12
has been upgraded to 626 bhp with 607 lb-ft of torque with improved emissions and fuel efficiency. The
Continental GT V8 S has 528 bhp and 502 lb-ft of torque.
All Bentley Continental GT interiors are handcrafted, but the GT W12 and GT Speed can now be
specified with the softer semi-aniline hide, the highest quality leather available. The headliner for the
GT W12, GT V8 S and Speed coupes are available in Alcantara color matched to all interior colors.
Furthermore, to push the envelope of bespoke personalization, the Mulliner Specification has designed
the “cobra” seat with a clever color split around the seat back, which features a tighter quilt weave
resulting in the seat resembling the menacing profile of the snake. There are infinite options for the
interior as you can specify staggering choices of combinations so chances are that you won’t see
another one just like yours.
So why Norway? Norway has one of the best Grand Touring roads in the world where we were off on
a 230-mile journey through some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery imaginable. Plus, we
were delighted that there was no traffic except for well-behaved passive motorists and occasional
farm equipment with no aggressive drivers like back home. The wonderfully well-paved smooth roads
everywhere – without potholes or broken pavement – are proof that Norway is a wealthy country with
its principal product being extracted from the oil derricks in the North Sea. We drove through roads next
to fjords, gentle rolling hills, mountains and pastures where everything was green with dense forests and
lush landscape. That pure clean air made us want to lower the top, but it was a bit too chilly for us. The
Bentley Continental GT Speed Twin-Turbo W12 exhibited its true Grand Touring style as we passed the
local folks with ease and enjoyed the true comfort that the W12 GT Speed offered.

Soon, we were driving the Trollstigen Mountain Road, a twisting,
winding challenging road of tight hairpins and turns with an
elevation of 2,815 ft. above sea level. Here, the Continental GT
V8 S was at home with its lighter weight to accelerate, brake
hard, turn in and accelerate out of each hairpin – a thrilling ride
especially going downhill. In the background of steep rocks,
water was gushing out everywhere, and spectacular waterfalls
stole our glances.
We then arrived at Angvik Gamle Handelssted, a coastal village
overlooking the Tingvoll Fjord. The Bentley folks convinced the
local authority to close a mountain pass approximately 5 miles
in length: a closed private circuit. I chose the Continental GT
V8 S for this dream-come-true portion of the drive. Even though
the road was closed, I was in unfamiliar territory so I drove about
80% of the GT V8 Speed’s true potential.

360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 45
Even so, with the suspension firmed up and the 8-speed automatic transmission in S mode, the
permanent all-wheel drive with huge carbon-ceramic brakes allowed for very late braking and quick
acceleration out of each corner while the car remained poised and stable the entire time. The thrill of
being able to drive a car in this manner is a treat and a testament to the degree of refinement, which
Bentley has committed to the Continental range.
Experiencing the Bentley lifestyle and the 2016 Continental GT range on one of the best driving roads in
the world, those memories have absolutely lingered, in true Grand Touring style.

“You know, I did give up about 5 months
before getting Orange Is the New Black,
[which] was the lowest point in my life. I
wasn’t feeling very good about myself
and the things that were happening in my
personal life. I was struggling financially,”
says Selenis Leyva, 43, who plays Gloria
Mendoza on the Emmy-winning Netflix
show Orange Is the New Black. “Suddenly,
I realized, ‘I am an adult and have a
daughter, and I can’t do this anymore.’

“One of the things that I’ve learned
from Gloria is – and I knew this but
now I know this even more – not to be
judgmental,” Leyva says of her role as
the fierce Latina who runs the kitchen
on the hit Netflix series. “You cannot
judge anyone for their mistakes and
for their journey. Before [playing] her,
I was quick to make assumptions of
people, and now I think I’m a little
bit more reserved and I try to find
something else in them, instead of
making assumptions.”

Even though I was a working actor,
it was not sufficient. I decided, ‘I’m
going to give this up because I
have to support my child. I have to
pay her tuition.’”
“2 weeks later, I got a call for a
pilot that I had auditioned for
months before. They were offering
me the role, so I went to LA for
15 days to shoot the pilot. Then, I
got The Following, and then, I got
Elementary, and then, I got Orange
Is the New Black,” adds Leyva,
recalling her 20-year-long struggle
before a huge career breakthrough
(“Finally, the role came that was
supposed to be my role. It’s almost
like, all the stars were aligned – I was
at the right place at the right time,
and I was prepared”).

While she finished filming two movies Chapter &
Verse (due out late this year) and Custody (will be
released next year), and started shooting Orange
season 4 (“My home for the next couple of months
is definitely going to be behind bars,” laughs
Leyva), she’s also been working with Rock the
Vote, targeting the Latino community (“Especially
after the comments made by Mr. Donald Trump,
the only way we’re going to show that we are
important to society and to the United States is
that everyone needs to come out and vote. It
doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 65 or 105, vote”).
On top of that, she started writing a column for
the Huffington Post in early June, and her very first
post was titled, “What Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair
Cover Sparked For Me As Sister of Trans Woman.”
“I remember watching the interview when Caitlyn
was still Bruce Jenner before transitioning, and I
was moved by that. And, I saw her cover. I got
emotional, and then, the next day, I didn’t feel
right. Something about it didn’t feel right. And,
I realized that it wasn’t her moment that made
me feel uncomfortable, it was this grandiose
moment of Vanity Fair and this fashion moment,
and the lights and the glitz and glamour of it,”
Leyva elaborates. “That is not the reality of the
transgender community. A very small percentage
[of them] is living that kind of fabulousness and
the kind of acceptance that Caitlyn Jenner and
Laverne Cox and many others in the limelight
have received. My sister still is ridiculed when she
walks down the street. My sister can’t get a job
yet. And, she is not the only one. I’m so happy for
Caitlyn Jenner, but she was able to afford all these
wonderful surgeries to complete her transition and
to give her what she always dreamed of. And,
there are some in the transgender community
that don’t want those surgeries, but then, those
that do – who would love that – can’t afford
that because they can’t even get jobs. And yes,
more conversations are being started. People
are discussing it more but we can’t lose sight that
the transgender community is still a community
affected by hatred and ignorance.”
“My sister was very grateful. My sister actually
cried. And, she…,” Leyva suddenly pauses,
getting incredibly teary. “She says she’s always
been proud of me, but that was extra, that was
extra special when she said, ‘Oh, my God, my
friends are so happy, thank you!’ So I felt good
without wanting to make a big deal about myself,
it was just to shed light on this issue, and my sister
was very proud of me. And, I’m in a position
where people wanna listen to me. So, I have to
take advantage of that,” adds Leyva with a
warm chuckle.
In order for all of us to equally embrace others,
regardless of gender and sexual orientation,
Leyva says, we have to focus on the youth
through incorporating sexuality education in the
curriculum: “We’re living in a time where finally
people are able to come out and speak and live
the way that it should be.”
In the next 10 years, she’s eager to keep working/
writing as well as to direct, produce, play the role
of La Lupe, and launch her own foundation that
would help the transgender community, cancer
research, children and the LGBT community.
“And, yeah, I see myself living a really nice life in
Malibu,” adds Leyva with a laugh.
The blog post clearly encouraged the readers;
she received a lot of great feedback on it. “The
very young transgender community reached
out to me, and mostly, African Americans and
the Latino community. And, everyone across the
board, I think, they were just thankful because
they felt like, maybe they were going to be
forgotten somehow, and that moment kind of
reminded everyone that there are still thousands
of people that suffer daily because they can’t live
their truth.”

ACE Adventure
Resort
ACE Adventure Resort is the East Coast’s largest mountain hideaway, exclusively focused on worldclass whitewater rafting along with guided adventures, outdoor sports and activities, lodging, camping
and other amenities. The nearby New River Gorge National River is affectionately known as the “Grand
Canyon of the East” and features rafting from April to October. The New and Gauley Rivers combined
offer over 100 miles of rapids all within 30 minutes of the resort. Both rivers are administered by the
National Park Service. ACE’s passion since 1980 has been to create vacations wrapped around these
rivers and other outdoor adventures so that guests can experience “a world of adventure in one
place.” The 1,500 acres here encompass forest and a 5-acre lake plus a series of ponds, a mining-era
ghost town and spectacular cliffs for rock climbing, waterfalls and overlooks.
In addition, ACE is offering several summer specials. August All-In-ADay Special #1 (Aug. 11 to Sept. 1) includes a half-day raft trip on the
Lower New River or a Zip Line Tour plus a half-day Resort Gold Pass with
breakfast, lunch and dinner for just $129 per person. The August All-InA-Day Special #2 (Aug. 10 to 31) features a half-day Climb & Rappel,
Scenic New River Bike Tour, Stand Up Paddleboard or Lake Tour plus a
half-day Resort Gold Pass with breakfast, lunch and dinner for just $109
per person.
A typical weekend here begins when vacationers roll onto the property
Friday afternoon prepared to set up their own campsite or with
reservations in hand for bunkhouse or log cabin accommodations. On
Saturdays, guests usually schedule a whitewater rafting adventure on
the New River, home to Class I to Class IV rapids that can be enjoyed by
ages six and up, or on the Gauley River that is recognized as a National
Recreation Area for its challenging Class II to Class V rapids targeting
thrill-seeking enthusiasts.

SPOTLIGHT ON:
Hooka Hey
Hooka Hey was formed by Hugo de Saint Quentin, who has played shows
alongside the likes of Built To Spill, Ted Leo and Miles Kane. Hooka Hey
creates their music based on bluesy tribal beats with smoky, sludgy riffs –
drenched and charged just like the air before a rainstorm. Their organic
and raw “Transylvanian Voodoo” sound encompasses a wide variety of
grooves and tones, evoking artists like Queens of the Stone Age and Jack
White.
Radio Nova has played Hooka Hey’s tunes, and the band has opened for
The Black Keys.
Additionally, they have worked with record producer Youth (The Orb,
Killing Joke, The Verve, Paul McCartney) at London’s Olympic Studios.
Moreover, their 2011’s EP Little Things was mixed by Mark Plati (David

Petite Meller is a singer-songwriter using music
and videos to create a world that’s all her
own. “I’m creating my own little empire based
on creativity,” she says. “I think we can take
our fantasies and make them into realities.
That’s what I do in my videos. I make my own
reality.”
Petite
Meller
Born in Paris to a French mother and a
Polish father but raised primarily by her
grandmother, Meller grew up listening to a
combination of Euro-pop and jazz musicians
like Dizzy Gillespie and chanson singers like
Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and Serge
Gainsbourg.
When she was 15, Meller moved with her
parents to Tel Aviv. She filled her time going
to jazz festivals and studying photography.
Meller began playing in bands while in Tel
Aviv, and then moved to New York to pursue
her musical ambition. It was there she realized
that she would have to go solo in order to stay
true to her idiosyncratic vision. “I felt I wanted
to do my own genre,” she says, “which is
‘nuovo jazzy-pop.’”
She poured her own time and money into
shooting her video for “NYC Time.” The video,
which shows Meller being carried by a huge
man from the suburbs into New York City, was
cast under the streets of the city itself.
Her most ambitious video to date “Baby
Love” was filmed on location near Nairobi
in Kenya; the video sees Meller imitating
flamingos and dancing with schoolchildren
and a pair of giraffes. “‘Baby Love’ was the
first song I wrote after leaving New York,”
she explains. “I went straight to Sweden and
wrote it with Joakim Åhlund. He’s from the
band Teddybears, and his brother Klas writes
for Katy Perry. I was thinking about the video
in the same moment. We felt like it was an
African drum sound, so we knew the video
would be in Africa.”
“My mission in life is to make the songs and
videos together,” she adds. “Everyone I work
with is so right. I’ve been very lucky with the
people I interact with. Together, we’re making
an ongoing film of my life.”

Maserati
Quattroporte
GTS
A Ferrari With
Four Doors
Shin Takei
Maserati has been around for over a century as a car manufacturer
starting in 1914. Back then, the Maserati brothers were into racing and
competed in Grand Prix, rallies like Targa Florio and Mille Miglia. They
even participated in endurance racing like the 24 Hours of Le Mans,
even the Indianapolis 500 until their withdrawal from racing in 1957. Their
history was at a peak in the sixties and early seventies with remarkablelooking designs coming out of Carrosserie (car design studios) like
Bertone, Frua, Touring, Vignale and Zagato. Designers such as Alejandro
de Tomaso, Marcello Gandini, Giorgetto Giugiaro, and Pininfarina
contributed to the legacy. However, after that, the fortunes have been
tumultuous at best until Fiat bought them outright in 1993 and Ferrari in
1999 (almost 11 years after the death of Enzo Ferrari). During his lifetime,
Enzo Ferrari proclaimed that Ferrari would never build a 4-seater, and
despite prototypes that appeared in major car shows, they still haven’t.
How convenient was it then to buy out Maserati which already had the
Quattroporte (meaning “four doors” in Italian) and install a Ferrari engine
to power it?

The 2015 Maserati Quattroporte GTS is indeed a Ferrari with four doors
and is quite sporting for a big luxury sedan. Powered by a 3.8-liter twinturbo V8 with 523 hp mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission with
auto-adaptive software, the GTS can get from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds
with a top speed of 190 mph. From the outside, the Quattroporte looks
aggressive yet clean with the familiar oval grill sporting a large Trident
logo with a smooth but muscular skin all the way back. The traditional trio
of air vents is still on the front fenders, and the iconic Saetta logo adorns
the triangular C-pillar. The optional 21” sport wheels with a choice of five
colors for the brake caliper complete the long-wheelbase chassis.

Step inside and the rich aroma of Poltrona Frau premium fine grain
leather tickles your olfactory nerves, and the simple, clean and
clutter-free dashboard is conservative yet elegant. In addition
to the electronically adjustable steering wheel and the 12way adjustable seats, the power-adjustable foot pedals make
it possible for any driver to find the right driving position. There
are infinite combinations of leather choices and accents from
wood to carbon-fiber to choose from. In the center console is the
MTC (Maserati Touch Control) 8.4” touch screen display which
incorporates navigation, radio, CD/DVD, audio/video player, SD
card reader, USB, Aux-in, Apple chip, Bluetooth function for audio
streaming, climate controls, phone devices and car setup. There’s
even in-car Wi-Fi.

However, compared to other sports sedans in this segment, the Quattroporte GTS is curiously
devoid of some luxury features standard on even lesser class cars. These would be soft close
doors and trunk (although the latter could be attributed to the surprisingly light weight of the
lid). Other features missing are lane departure controls, blind spot monitors, side-view mirrors
that dip when reversing, and adaptive cruise control. We have two possible theories behind this:
The first one is obviously to save weight. The second reason would be that these luxury features
can make the driver a little lazy and numb, “de-tuning” him/her from being precise, sensitive,
responsive and alert to drive a demanding sports car like a Ferrari, or any other car. In other
words, the GTS is not your fuzzy sports sedan but a serious driver’s car. The steering is heavy,
precise and has lots of road feel, and the acceleration is brisk. In Sports Mode, the accelerator
mapping, engine, MSP (Maserati Stability Program) system, exhaust system and transmission
are all enhanced including the terrific sound as you drive away. Additionally, the Skyhook
electronically controlled suspension can be programmed for aggressive cornering and makes
the big sedan a thrill to drive fast anywhere.

360 MAGAZINE 95
We have just one gripe. The turn signal lever is
behind the paddle shifters and is too far from
the steering wheel that it may require taking
the left hand off to reach it. However, all in all,
the 2015 Maserati Quattroporte GTS is exactly
what executives that own Maserati and Ferrari
sports cars drive every day. Even Enzo Ferrari
would have approved.

SPOTLIGHT ON:
That Poppy
That Poppy grew up in Nashville, surrounded by music.
Her father was a drummer in a punk band, and her
brother followed suit, drumming for multiple groups at
once. Despite her percussive roots, That Poppy had
a different passion: “I was a dancer for 11 years,” she
remembers. “That was my first love. But when I was in
middle school, I started to get made fun of a lot, and
music became my outlet.” To cope, That Poppy began
writing lyrics in her journal and listening to bands like
Jimmy Eat World, No Doubt and Blondie. Finally, when it
came time to choose between dancing and music, That
Poppy “fell in love with singing.”
Her love for music has only grown since then; she now has
hundreds of journals full of song ideas and melodies.
That Poppy’s world is certainly a colorful one, filled with
roller-skating, hair dye and the latest documentaries. She
loves purple and pop/rock, and often draws on J-pop,
which is “drastically different from K-pop,” for inspiration.
“On the surface, it looks innocent and cute, but there’s
definitely a darker undertone,” she says of the Japanese
genre. “That really connects with personality.”
96
360 MAGAZINE
Her music exhibits the same dichotomy. Reggae-inspired
beats, punky rock riffs and a candy-sweet pop sensibility
infuse each of her tunes, co-existing in a wholly enigmatic
manner. Her songs are irresistibly catchy, but cheeky lyrics
add a depth and complexity rarely found in traditional
pop songs.
That Poppy is, moreover, all about self-expression.
“I write songs because I have a lot of feelings,” she says,
gushing about the opportunity to continue making
music and share it with people. “I want people to be
able to relate to what I’m talking about because I have
something to say.”
Her aesthetic definitely says a lot. She’s undeniably
adorable, with anime eyes and pale hair, but her
Instagram posts and YouTube videos also showcase an
affinity for the uncanny and bizarre. She is an enigma,
endlessly mysterious and fascinating. In fact, when asked
to describe herself, That Poppy says she’s “made of
diamonds.” Whether or not it’s true, she certainly shines.

“I just want to keep doing what I do until
I feel I’m not connecting anymore. If that
day ever arrives, I’ll stop DJ’ing and just ride
bikes, cook and do the gardening. But until
that day comes, I’ll be the one turning up the
bass to max,” states Grammy-winning EDM
icon Benny Benassi on his future goals.
“I’ve always wanted to be a DJ ever
since I was a teenager, and I started in a
club near where I lived with my parents in
Reggio Emilia. One thing led to another – I
was lucky enough to have a cousin, Alle
Benassi, who’s a talented musician, and
I got him into producing electronic music
on a computer,” Benassi looks back. “We
became a production team, and things got
better. I started my career as a house DJ. Alle
is a classically trained musician, and when
he started making music with me, he had a
weak spot for techno music. Reggio Emilia
had an amazing output of Italian house
productions, so there was already a scene.”
108
360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 109
Since the late ‘80s, Benny and Alle Benassi have been known as Benassi Bros. (“‘Benassi Bros’ sounds
better than ‘Benassi Cousins,’” according to Benny Benassi), and worked together on smash hits like
Benny’s “Satisfaction,” Chris Brown’s “Beautiful People” and “Don’t Wake Me Up,” and Madonna’s “Girl
Gone Wild.” (Just so you know, Benny Benassi is hoping to collaborate with Kanye West and Bono from
U2, soon.)
Other than making music, Benny Benassi has another passion: cycling. “I got my first professional bicycle
when I was 8. My father was and still is very passionate about cycling, as is everyone in the family –
uncles, cousins and relatives,” he describes. “We all lived in the same house, and if I try to count the
number of bikes, there were at least 15! On Saturdays and Sundays, my father took me into the hills with
his bike team. That’s where it all started.”
In 2010, moreover, he launched a major West Coast club tour on a fixed-gear bicycle – the Benny
Benassi Bike Tour: A Musical Ride Through California…Without Breaks. “A few years ago, on vacation in
California, I stumbled upon the beautiful coast road near Big Sur,” recalls Benassi. “So I decided to go
back there with my bike and ended up riding from San Francisco to San Diego with a crew of friends
from Italy, filming and photographing the whole tour. We invited the fans to ride with us here and there.
It was amazing!”
He may or may not do the bike tour again: “I have a close friend who often cycles coast to coast. For
now, it’s just a conversation.”
Working with World Bicycle Relief, after his 2010 bike tour, Benassi provided over 45 bikes to students in
Africa. Throughout the years, furthermore, he has also supported MusiCares Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund
and CharityStars. “I just did a show called ‘Zero,’ in my hometown of Reggio Emilia in Italy. Part of that
show involved projecting images from the GAIA project by Guy Lalibertè, founder of Cirque du Soleil
and the One Drop Foundation whose mission is to bring water to those communities on the planet that
have drastic shortages,” adds Benassi.
110
360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 111
Overall, the year of 2015 has been going “pretty well”
so far for Benassi, whose last studio album was 2011’s
Electroman. “Alle and I are working on new music. I’ll
be releasing individual tracks from the album as singles,
leading up to the release,” explains the 48-year-old EDM
maestro, who recently dropped a new song “Who I Am”
with Marc Benjamin featuring Christian Burns.
Since he obviously has so many exciting projects in
the works, would we ever see something like Benassi’s
own clothing line coming up? “I wouldn’t say I’m picky
[about what to wear] so much as I simply take pleasure
in choosing my clothes! Nothing too obsessive, though,”
he says. “I don’t know about a clothing line but I have
launched a line of headphones with RCF (Iconica
series)!”

Small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations
is showcasing three new vessels and four new cruise
itineraries in New Zealand that would yield the most
diverse, well-rounded complement of cruise options
in the region.
“These new cruises round out our current New
Zealand program to offer AdventureSmith
Explorations’ travelers the widest variety of ship sizes,
itineraries and price ranges available,” explained
Todd Smith, founder. With four vessels carrying 16,
24, 32 or 72 guests, there’s a New Zealand cruise
option for every travel style and budget.
360 MAGAZINE 115
Each of the three recently added vessels is family
owned and operated providing guests with an
authentic introduction to Kiwi culture and customs.
Passengers would enjoy access to sights only a
small ship can provide while being immersed in
legendary New Zealand hospitality.
Those cruising the coastline of this two-island
country that the indigenous Māori call Aotearoa,
or the “Land of the Long White Cloud,” can
select environments ranging from sub Antarctic to
temperate. In the colder south where temperatures
may hover at 50 degrees, small ships access the
remote wilderness of the Fiordlands; on a northern
circuit, guests can bask through the Bay of Islands
surrounded by an abundance of tropical foliage.
PELCOR UMBRELLAS
Three ships that have been purpose-built for cruising
New Zealand waters are the Affinity, Island Passage
and Milford Wanderer, together offering varied
budget and cruise style options.

TIP S
#1
We all love a good MASSAGE, and here’s
just one more reason why. Lymphatic
massage is a special form of massage that
specifically targets the flow of lymph in the
body. It uses a specific amount of pressure
and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate
the lymph, encouraging its movement towards
the heart for the drainage of fluid and waste.
Lymphatic massage has shown in studies to
push up to 78 percent of stagnant lymph back
into circulation. This mobilizes toxins for
clearance, lessening the burden on the
lymphatic system.

INGREDIENTS:
•
2 Cups of Almond Milk
•
1 Tablespoon of Hemp Seeds
•

•
1 Tsp of Moringa Powder
•
1 Tsp of Chia Seeds
•
2 Green Apples

REBOUNDING is one of the easiest ways to
pump the lymph. Rebounding is the practice
of jumping on a trampoline (yes, remember
when we did this for fun!?) for ten to thirty
minutes. This passively moves the lymph while
stimulating the circulation of blood throughout
the body. Numerous studies have proven its
efficacy, and have even shown it to improve
muscle tone.

ENZYMES are produced by the body to break
down food substances and to expedite
countless metabolic processes. They are also
utilized by the body to clear toxic-waste
buildup in the lymph and blood, making their
supplementation a key way to improve
lymphatic health. Using proteolytic enzymes
between meals can help to “digest” or
breakdown organic debris in the circulatory
and lymph systems, increasing lymphatic
flow. They also help to ease the burden of
allergy-like compounds, freeing the immune
fractions traveling in the lymph system for
other work.
Incorporating RAW FOODS into the diet is an
easy way to keep the lymphatic system
healthy on an ongoing basis. Raw foods offer
high levels of naturally occurring enzymes
that break down toxic buildups and promote
the clearance of harmful substances in the
body. Eating foods raw, in particular fruits
and vegetables, is also a great way to boost
the water levels in the body. Finally, raw
foods are primarily alkaline, which help
neutralize harmful pathogens, lessening the
burden on the lymph.
#5
Lymph is about 95% water, making water
essential for its health. STAY HYDRATED by
drinking half your weight in ounces of water
a day. Without adequate water, lymphatic
fluid cannot flow properly. And one of the
most common causes of lymph congestion is
dehydration. Water, and only water, can
adequately rehydrate the body, but if you
want to expedite the process, add lemon to
your water. Lemon is an alkaline fruit that
helps to mineralize the body and lymph. Try
sipping on warm lemon water throughout the
day.
