Prins Thomas Live @ Sur Bar Kagoshima

February 7, 2012

Recently been listening to this six-hour (!) DJ set by Prins Thomas recorded at Sur Bar in Kagoshima, Japan. It seems it was first released in 2007, possibly on this thread? “just got these recordings back from japan… recorded at a tiny little bar but with an amazing soundsystem and a crowd of 50 people [...]

VH1′s Metal Evolution

VH1′s Metal Evolution

February 6, 2012

VH1 has been running a documentary series on the evolution of Heavy Metal called (funnily enough) “Metal Evolution”. The series tackles all of the sub-genres having to do with influencing metal and has been really good (even the prog rock stuff). I decided to check if Metal Evolution episodes were available online, and sure enough, [...]

Spliff-Triggered Photography

December 6, 2011

NYC-based photographer and director Timothy Saccenti of Stem has a really interesting article up on PDN explaining how he got the above shot of trip hop artist Tricky. Saccenti’s shots always look really crazy, and usually I assume it’s some post-production madness, but as it turns out the above shot was only colour graded. Really [...]

November 3, 2011

Into Infinity is an art and music exhibition by Dublab and Creative Commons which combines audio loops and “visual circles.” Since 2008 the exhibitions have taken place in Japan, but earlier this year they released a digital exhibition and the result is excellent.

Last Name London Video

June 21, 2011

This past September, I moved to New York from Vancouver B.C. The main reason for moving out here was motivated by my work and to basically push myself and to take everything I do to the next level. To say moving out here was a good decision is definitely an understatement. One of the first [...]

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

May 22, 2011

Over the last couple of weeks, the main albums in my rotation have been GOBLIN and the new Fleet Foxes album. Both of these albums couldn’t be any more different, but I’m equally stoked on both. Even though I’ve heard of Fleet Foxes before, I never actually heard them. No idea what they sounded like. [...]

GOBLIN

GOBLIN

May 18, 2011

So…. where to start with Tyler, The Creator. Without boring you with wordy fluff, I’m just gonna cut straight to the point and say that nothing has piqued my interest in Hip-Hop land in recent years as much as this dude (and his OFWGKTA crew to a lesser extent). While we are constantly bombarded with [...]

Eskay Discusses Hip-Hop Marketing

April 28, 2011

When it comes to Hip-Hop sites/blogs, Nahright is the only one I check. It’s got pretty much everything I’d need to know about (sans ofwgkta) in one place and it’s easy to view. Go HERE for an interview with Eskay from Nahright regarding Hip-Hop marketing. It’s a pretty good read.

Chromeo recently hit up Justin Saunders from JJJJound and asked him to put together a JJJJound like image blog – titled CCCChroemeo – inspired by Chromeo’s album “Business Casual.” When I first checked this, I wasn’t sure if Chroemo was ripping on JJJJound, or if they actually teamed up… Stoked it was the latter, because this [...]
