October 3, 2012To be honest we generally avoid talking about Kickstarter projects. There’s so much up there worthy of funding if it doesn’t bankrupt you it’ll depress you. That said, we can’t avoid giving support to this documentary that we feel will be an essential record of an oft-overlooked area of “Music 101”. This came through to us via Jimmy Monsta Funk,…
October 1, 2012A proper day of extremes. Jason Silva reminding me of the positives of psychadelics making me outraged at the laws surrounding them, followed by a rewatch of a documentary which disturbingly which makes me want to advocate against anything illicit. Groupies dropped into cinemas in 1970. The documentary from Ron Dorfman and Peter Nevard exists as a constant stream of…
September 15, 2012Wanted to get this up ahead of the post for Timmy K’s forthcoming Awkward Movements Sessions. Full details and download links up Monday, but as a photographer and rave veteran who lived and loves London drum n bass, the 100 minute selection of Metalheadz tunes is as special and high-quality as you’d expect. When sending it over he also included…
September 10, 2012Here’s a nice way to start the working week, though due to it’s length probably something you won’t finish until the weekend; a full three hour set from the one and only Derrick May, destroying the dance in Japan. Following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami hit Japan pretty much every single artist set to tour the country cancelled their tour.…
September 2, 2012A pretty incredible clip for comic book heads, anime buffs or movie fanboys of any kind, one of the best spinoff shorts we’ve ever seen has dropped in a timely fashion in the vein of Batman. DC Nation holds a block of animation on Cartoon Network as of earlier this year, and in between the programming (thus far only Young…
August 22, 2012Big ups Michael Chandler each and every way. Teaming up with Wilderness Films, Michael Chandler (aka The Furious) was the new talent that dropped the incredible Stay Sailing on us in the backend of 2010. If you missed the pirate radio documentary during it’s limited-release capacity first time around, the good news is that the entire thing is now available…
July 10, 2012About a month ago we visited Eat The Dream: Moroccan Reveries on the Awkward Movements NTS show (out to Kamikaze for the pick as always). Originally released on CD in 1996, Eat The Dream is a compilation of field recordings from Morocco, compiled and edited by Tucker Martine on his trip to Marrakech in 1994. Strangely enough, when it finally…
May 29, 2012There’s a few of these videos kicking around, mostly from Stern and previously of which the four part Transformers Pinball Documentary series was king. Starting with a teaser trailer about a month before they even started work on it, going in to feature design, game concept, strategic runs, bonuses and much more right to the aesthetic creation, music and all…
May 19, 2012While Senna may have become the darling of the archive industry over the last 12 months, Karel Doing’s Liquidator project certainly blew a few minds in that time, definitely serving up the most talked about minute preview at the Focal Awards. Perhaps most interestingly the 8 minute film is soundtracked by Mical Osowski, who connected the filters and effects of…
May 1, 2012We’ve spoken about TK aka Toby Knight on these pages before, mainly to do with his involvement with our favourite London parties including Special Request (viiiiiibes) and Lostbahnhof. As well as being a vinyl hunter and ill DJ, did you know that he’s also the king of archive? Toby was the man responsible for the video to Mr Beatnick’s Sun Goddess which…
