BRAND NEW VIDEO
Pretty much hot on the heels of “Punk Rock`s Club 2 - Science & Technology” VHS is another one! (mops brow) It`s a celebration of the early 80`s .. and a little of the late 70`s for fun - this is one of the (musical) reasons why I have posted very little.
GOODBYE TO THE DISCO NIGHTS
You may have heard the soundtrack before - it`s an edited version of the Sumfink Like disco Mixtape. Songs from the 21st century recut to the disco of the 20th century - if you haven`t. I`ve cut this VHS mixtape as a farewell to the Sumfink like disco series of mixtapes i started back in January. Having put so much work into 1 hour customised disco hybrids, I thought it would be cool to bring one of them to life.. They took up a mighty chunk of my life, but if you`ve followed my tumblr, you`ll be aware of that! Vol.2 became a bit of pain .. and ended up being popular as f**k !! My favourite is still Volume 3 .. you`ll find them on my mixtape page… Here`s the soundtrack for those who missed it the first time round….
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (Edit)
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
Snoop Doggy Dog - Drop It Like It’s Hot
Chemical Brothers - Under The Influence [excert]
Warpaint - Elephant
Transvolta - Disco Computer
Bloc Party - The Warning
SUPER 80`S VIDEO STYLIN`
We go super 80`s NYC crazy and pay homage to the tactile, fun (and eventually plastic) side of 80s technology. Back then a imaging process called `scanimate` was popular - which is kind of like a bridge between the analogue world and the digital domain. Being a kid at the time, I`ve always liked how it looked - it gave TV of the time more warm, fuzzy feel compared to later developments of the decade where graphics became more angular, bold and smooth .. the more corporate look was in and 70`s technology was out.
Big huge thanks to all the people I will never meet who created the images and those who uploaded them you tube - having recorded these snippets of history and kept all these years - even though VHS as a format is obsolete.
I dont do these videos very often, but I release custom mixtapes every month through twitter and facebook and often tweet links to documentaries & good music by unsigned artists, so say hello .. it`s always cool.
