Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:34AM Weather and general update for Global Gathering this weekend with Michael Fish and Afro Magic. Gonna be live tweeting whilst being there (if I'm in a fit enough state to) and reviewing next week. Big weekend ahead.
Festival, Global Gathering, Michael Fish, Video, Weather Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 11:47PM My good mate Tim Shieff has a new showreel up on YouTube. Amazing moves, amazing art, amazing song choice; just generally amazing. You all need to see this.
Free-Running, Showreel, Timothy Shieff, Video Monday, July 25, 2011 at 3:47PM Spotted over @RWDMag, here are some cool visuals for Random Impulse's new single, which features cameos from Ed Sheeran, Professor Green & Wretch 32. As you can see from the live clips, the chorus on this one is incredibly easy to remember - the Wakestock crowd loved it. Got a lot of time for this guy and his music.
Ed Sheeran, Grime, Live, Professor Green, Random Impulse, Video, Wretch 32 Friday, July 22, 2011 at 10:44PM An exclusive behind the scenes look at the making of one of the most highly anticipated albums in years. Two geniuses at work. Directed, edited and photographed by Robert Lopuski.
Documentary, Hip-Hop, Jay-z, Kanye West, Video Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 11:43PM A sick video for one of my favourite Hip-Hop tracks of 2011. Why couldn't Tyler have done more stuff like this on his album? Goblin hasn't been played since the day I was sent it. Anyway, Fear Of God 2: Let Us Pray is the way. Push.
Hip-Hop, Pusha T, Tyler The Creator, Video Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 11:30PM When Ed told me the concept for this video was Drop It Like It's Hot, but with a guy doing the whole track in sign language; I was obviously very excited to see the outcome. The outcome is incredible, and makes for one of the best videos from the past few years. You Need Me is out on August 28th and the album will be released on September 12th. Exciting times.
Ed Sheeran, Folk, Hip-Hop, Video Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 11:51AM Here are the official visuals for Example's new single, which were directed by Adam Powell and premiered on Channel 4 last night. So much love for this video - it portrays the message of the song perfectly and is probably the coolest video he's done to date. Out on 28th August - pre-order HERE.
Adam Powell, Example, Video Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 11:40PM Sick video for a big tune from Wolves born and Derby based rapper Zeo Zeonardo. Don't know much about him, but my good friend Baller B just put me onto him and apparently this got its first play on 1Xtra tonight. Production is super fresh, I've got lots of love for the chorus/hook and the lyrics are incredibly emotional for anyone from our generation. I miss being kid. Check his site HERE.
Garage, Hip-Hop, Video, Zeo Zeonardo, Zoe Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 7:41PM Just completed my review of Wakestock Festival, which I went to last weekend. Here is a promo video for Global Gathering, which is my next stop. See you there gang.
Dance, Electronic, Festival, Global Gathering, Promo, Video Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 3:15PM A super sick video for the third single from Wretch 32's highly anticipated debut album, Black And White, which is out on August 14th. Had the pleasure of meeting these two this weekend and can safely say that they are two of the most down to earth guys I've met for a long time. Hope this does as well as it deserves to.
