Romain Gavras, the man behind the epic video for Stress, and So-Me, responsible for the visual chicanery of D.A.N.C.E and DVNO, have collaborated with Justice once again. A Cross the Universe follows the band on a 20 day tour across the USA and while I haven’t had a chance to watch the full DVD yet, [...]

It’s raining outside – so just kick back, relax and enjoy one of the best turntablists to ever come out of Japan. DJ Krush with Kemuri. It’s actually a pretty damn cool clip.

Dgenetics Musics has put together what is quite possibly one of the best music promo videos of all time for their Generation V sampler. I’m in awe. The music style they push might be getting a little played out for some, think that crystal castles/justice/little boots-esque electro-y whateverthekidsarecallingitnowdays pop, but the video and the ASCII [...]

Okay so most people probably think that using an iPhone as a musical instrument sounds silly, or at least a clever novelty party trick at most. Take a look at this video – it might change your mind. The entire song, except the singing of course, is generated live on iPhones using software like BeatMaker, [...]

The song is called Planet Gear, by the very english drum&bass/funk/IDM/jazz/electronic Squarepusher. He’s done his own videoclip here and it looks pretty sweet. Apparantly the concept of the video revolves around images of imaginary astronomical phenomena. I’m not sure if I get that – but the striking colours and the iTunes visualiser style animations looks [...]

After watching the trailer for the upcoming biopic about the late and great Notorious B.I.G I got a bit nostalgic and wasted time / sought inspiration researched on youtube for an hour or so watching some of his old clips. In order to justify this past hour to myself, my co-workers, parents and the lovers [...]

In this day and age of where we are drowned in piles of commercial-indie-electro-rock, there really aren’t many bands coming out with any kind of challenging or original sound, that’s not already catering to a specific subculture or demographic. Let me present to you, my beloved HORSE The Band. These guys did one of the [...]

I’m a sucker for beautiful art books, but I’m rarely impressed by the gimmicky ‘new’ ones that are oftenn released with scratchy acrylic covers, dodgy foam cases or useless corrugated cardboard stands. However Stefan Sagmeister‘s new book “Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far” is quite something. Sagmeister is somewhat of a design [...]

A few friends of mine attempted some of this light painting photography just last weekend. Our result was nowhere near as cute and awesome. Still, it was a lot of fun mucking around with LED lights and slow exposures. This one was done by Ryan Cashman from San Diego. In his words: Animated light paintings [...]

Part of the Weekend Never Dies is an epic looking film by Saam Farahand. The director followed Soulwax around the globe and took in 120 of their shows, capturing life on the road for the group and their interaction with friends, fans and contemporaries along the way. The film was doing the festival circuit earlier [...]

Those mourning the loss of Muxtape can breathe easy, Favtape another online music sharing platform has been given a rather large update that has turned it into “Muxtape on Steroids” by their own reckoning. The look and feel of the site is very similar to Muxtape with a spartan layout and features in the minimalist [...]

SouthCentral (PART 3 of 4) from ABOVE on Vimeo. Those of you who’ve been paying attention would remember our last post on Above (catch up here). Well the South Central Tour continues and so do the pieces. Check out his latest vid above, complete with funky bossa nova/samba/Latin sounding tunes. Some pretty cool tidbits, look [...]

Much in the same vein as VBS.TV’s film Heavy Metal in Baghdad, here is part 1 a fascinating documentary about the underground rock scene in China. Titled Rock Under the Red Flag its paints a really colour of China from the shinyness they were bombarding us with during the Olympics. The vice boys followed Broolkyn based post [...]

Mixxx is a complete package for amateur and professional DJs alike, providing everything you need to create live mixes. Now for all you budding bedroom dj’s out there, MIXXX is pretty much like the industry leading dj packages Serato and Traktor, but you don’t have to use proprietary hardware, you just plug you mixer into [...]

I came across an awesome Diplo and Santogold mixtape thanks to Street Boners and TV Carnage. I think they’ve summed it up rather well: …it is FUCKING AMAZING. Dancehall to Dead Kennedys to Native American Pow Wows. Holy shit. It sounds like a bunch of Harlem drug dealers and a cute chick from Brooklyn broke [...]
