The video for Games’ ‘Party Planet’ is a pretty-much perfect visual representation of their aesthetic – warped and mixed bits of popular culture from the late 80s/early 90s. Watch it above. Original Games Pipedown Post
Just a brief post from me to break my near 2 month-long silence before I (hopefully) return properly tomorrow. The music world’s favourite maths lecturer, Dan Snaith a.k.a. Caribou, has released a video for Swim highlight ‘Sun’. It features a complete mixture of people dancing around to the track in what appears to be an [...]
Project from RCA graduate, Benjamin Newland. Best explained in his own words below, the possibilities this opens up are interesting. Sound systems in clubs are largely big immovable stacks designed so the sound stays pretty much the same throughout the room. Here however the sound is completely different dependent on where you are in the [...]
Minds Locked Together is the latest project from Shaun Bloodworth, a photographer whose portraits have become synonymous with the image of UK underground bass music. Mary Anne Hobbs commissioned the film as the backdrop to artists performing on her stage at Sonar this year. The result is a film of various dances in Sheffield, inter-dispersed [...]
Special, the first single from the new Maddslinky (probably more familiar to you as Zed Bias) album out on Tru Thoughts September 13th. Features Omar on vocals, video directed by Harry Ead & Johny Mourgue.

I’ve never really been able to connect with jazz but the 9-piece band draw from their hometown Chicago and although [...]
The video is actually really good. Directed by Kristofer Ström, check out his work here.
I am absolutely gutted to be missing this on Saturday due to DJ commitments elsewhere. Dusk & Blackdown have essentially reimagined their debut album Margins Music for the live stage, various remixes and hopefully even some new tracks will feature too. Blackdown’s written a wonderful account of what’s been occuring so head there for glimpse [...]
I hope that you have Shadrack & The Mandem in your life. If you don’t watch this, this and this before the above directed by Steve Glashier Also send for them on twitter, it’ll make your day. “No GAMES bruv, no games.”
