DJ Cheeba, DJ Moneyshot & DJ Food – ‘3-Way Mix’ trailer from Solid Steel on Vimeo.
Here’s a little short I just edited to promote the ‘3-Way Mix’ tour DJ’s Cheeba, Moneyshot and I are doing at the moment. It was shot by Jim Alexander at Solid Steel‘s 25th anniversary party at Fire in London last December. We’re still taking bookings so, if you want to see this in your town or city then check the details at the end.
I’ve shamelessly stolen this from Steve Cook‘s Secret Oranges site. This version of Black Widow may not be pleasing the purists online but, as a Scarlett fan, all I can say is, ‘Damn!’.
Looks like they seriously upped the budget on this one too after the success of The Avengers.
I edited this little promo together for Soundsci‘s forthcoming EP, ‘Expo 2014’, from Darrell Krum‘s excellent artwork files last week. It’s a 10″ sampler of 4 tracks + Bonus Beats for 2014’s releases on their World Expo label. For those who don’t know, Soundsci are a UK/US Hip Hop super group consisting of Jonny Cuba (ex-Dynamic Syncopation) and Ollie Teeba (The Herbaliser) who form the production team The Process from the UK.
From the US comes Audessey (ex-Mass Influence), U George and Oxygen (Sputnik Brown, Spox PHD). They have a busy year ahead with Soundsci releases, Ollie Teeba’s solo album and a U George solo LP and the 10″ showcases a track from each. Available on Feb 21st, go here for more info.
I found these international posters for Berberian Sound Studio on the web – some lovely versions, especially these Tane Williams variants below from a film festival in New Zealand.
So tempted to get the ‘how-to’ build book for this version of Kaneda‘s bike from Akira made from Lego. It’s been made by The Arvo Brothers and is only available direct from them – more info over at Crunchyroll.
This has been doing the rounds and I always have time for Noel’s interviews so I gave it a look. It’s a refreshingly honest and self-deprecating look back at his old band with plenty of barbed comments that border on exasperation by the end, you’ll laugh, I promise.
An interesting, if brief, film about the making of the original helmets, gloves and accessories for Daft Punk‘s robot look. I’d imagine this image by Syd Mead provided some inspiration for Guy-Manuel’s helmet as well.
Just the most incredible graffiti video I’ve ever seen.
Love everything about this guy’s music. A new video for ‘Sleeper‘ by CHOP (aka Mr. Chop) from his latest album ‘Illuminate’ OUT NOW on Now-Again.
I really want this to happen…
Beautifully done to celebrate the 2013 BoC vinyl reissues and as a personal project by Adam Rosner. Boards of Canada Reissues can be bought here.
Also, we just hit 90,000 plays on the original mix on Soundcloud! Thanks to everyone who listened, the new live version is longer, remixed and we aim to add video at some point in the future…
A very special pair of exclusive mixes on Solid Steel this week (isn’t there every week?) or should that be three mixes?
First up we have DJ Format AND Phill Most Chill, hot off the release of their new album, ‘The Foremost’, they’ve put together a 30 minute mix each, representing their home turfs of the UK and Philadelphia respectively and in Matt’s own words:
“Instead of doing yet another promo mix that incorporates a song or two from our new album, I thought it would be fun for me & Phill to each do a 30 minute mix of Hip Hop from our respective areas. I’m from Southampton, and since that’s not a very big place I thought it would be more fitting to play some of my favourite old UK Hip Hop records. Philadelphia always had a healthy Hip Hop scene that boasted famous artists such as DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince, Cash Money & Marvelous and Steady B just to name a few. Phill wanted to showcase some of the more obscure/random Rap records from Philly that he loves.”
You can hear and buy the album HERE and HERE – I know this is the third post about it in as many weeks but it really is great.
Next up is Solid Steel’s Russian agent, Mr Armtone, back with the follow up to his ‘Time Machine’ video mix from last year (how does he do it?). Firmly club-based in style and with a very high standard of visuals and on-screen blends (no YouTube rips here) he brings a 80 minute AV set to add to the quality collection we’re slowly building on our Vimeo page.
Out today via iTunes apparently
This has been doing the rounds and it’s a riveting watch as Brand passionately and elegantly puts his views to Paxman and delivers a killer punch at the end. Cynics would find it easy to dismiss Brand’s idealism but, by the end of this piece you’re in no doubt that he means every word he says.
