April 18, 2011I’m the first to admit that it’s only been the past 18 months that I really started looking to techno, and even then only really looking back. And while it doesn’t give me the authority to talk about how it used to be, there’s already been a clear distinction between the artists and DJs who’ve been championing the sound from…
March 25, 2011I wasn’t sure where I stood on these when I first stumbled onto them (about two years too late I might add, them being a part of the 2009 collection) but after staring for a minute or so I realised there was something dope about the skateboard deck / Miles Davis Quintet crossover.

March 19, 2011UPDATE: Due to popular demand and mass media loving their work, the Underbelly exhibition has been extended until the 22nd of May. It will also be open late Thursday 5th of May as part Time Out First Thursday. Get down.

Big ups to everyone who had any part to play in pulling it…
December 20, 2010Again mad props to everyone who made it down on the night to see the crew and Illum Sphere tear it up earlier in the month.

December 5, 2010I was recently able to put a name to a style, being turned on to Prop4g4nd4 aka Propaganda, who’s Picasso-esque inspiration is instantly recognisable from flyers and vectors over the last few years. To be fair, it’s a love or hate relationship with his designs, and his home page is a somewhat addictive source of unique imagery. Earlier this year…
October 21, 2010As predicted, Red Bull Culture Clash the second time around was heavy. This format of a night has fast become my favorite, and we’re hoping that the success of the two nights this year is going to spawn some smaller and more permanent monthlies around London. Channel One took out a much deserved victory, with Metalheadz putting up a damn…
