What skates, wears red hot lipstick, and is covered in ink? Jean Schwarzwalder, aka Suzy Hotrod, is the roller derby matriarch of the up and coming sport.

The current music world is surrounded by digital sounds that seem to cross and break every genre barrier, thus leading to new forms of electronica, hip-hop, and experimental sounds. As new cross genres of electronic music continue to show up throughout the world and internet sphere, it is no wonder that someone like Silver Medallion is starting to pop up all over the place with new collaborations and experimental sounds to show that one genre is not always enough. Oren J, DJ and original vocalist (and now sole member) of Silver Medallion, has gone through a lot in the past few years to establish himself in the music world. After an explosive start in the Arizona Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene and the death of his musical-partner/best friend, Silver Medallion has pressed on to release some incredible cross genre sounds stemming from influences all over the United States.
