Woodkid has been an OOTB favorite, remember the great Iron track and video?

Been waiting for Woodkid’s new video for a while now, ever since we saw the teaser pop up. Once again the look of the black/white video for the song is very unique and impressive. Beautiful and strong images. Can only agree and suggest you all have a look and share this masterpiece by Yoann Lemoine.

Still a certain haze around the collaboration at the moment but their debut single “Remember” hits the spot.

Earlier this week London rapper Plan B released a video for his latest single, ‘ill Manors’, part of a wider project of the same name, including a forthcoming film, designed to explore and address the issues surrounding poverty and alienation in Britain, in particular examining the London Summer Riots of 2011.

It’s an aggressive assault on everything from people’s perception of the working classes (“Oi look there’s a chav, that means council housed and violent”), to the Olympics (“Built an entire Olympic village around where we live without pulling down any flats … Don’t bloody give me that”) to David Cameron’s softly softly approach to dealing with teenagers (“He’s got a hoodie on give him a hug, on second thoughts don’t, you don’t wanna get mugged”).

Couple of days ago Plan B also caught up with MistaJam to talk about the controversy surrounding the ill Manors project and the inspiration he had for this new track…

London is calling for the 22tracks gang, but they still had to get one thing scrapped off the Brussels bucketlist: their own t-shirt!

With the new 22tracks t-shirt designed by Brussels artist Oli-B they finally got that item done. And it turned out to be a great new design by one of the freshest artists our capital has to offer!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the whole 22tracks concept, have a quick read overhere and definitely have a look on 22tracks.net where since last June 22nd 22 great selectors present us the freshest sound for Brussels.

The shirt is available through T-junk amongst the other 22 tracks gear.

Ow, and also have a look at UglyMelly who happened to feature Oli’s work this week.

Monday eve we gathered some like minded bloggers/tweeps in Bar Buro for a cosy pre-listening session of Miike Snow’s Happy to You. Sony Music Belgium (worth the follow on twitter btw) hosted a Twunch, in order for us to get a first eavesdrop of the Happy to You album amongst good company and a little bite/snack.

As Miike Snow fans ourselves we were more than eager to hear what the result was. We had previously heard some stuff on their Soundcloud, but that just don’t cut it as you really need to listen to all 10 tracks in the order you’re supposed to, which was the case with this Miike Snow piece.

Reckon most people heard the album’s closing track Paddling Out (check the video below, always instant bliss when I hear it passby on the radio) as its the current single, but the album has a lot more to offer for sure. I suggest you also check what Deborah, Zofie & Lluisa already wrote about it amongst others.

Their previous album has been part of my car discography ever since it had been released and their new work is yet another great roadtrip soundtrack.

The cover is graced by a jackalope btw, a mythical creature, which basically is a rabbit with antlers Thanks for pointing that out @N_A_G_D!

Converse took several Gorillaz, added Andre 3000 & James Murphy and asked them to “just do their thing”. The love child which followed was a collection of 4 sneakers and a brand new track: Do Ya Thang.

Yesterday RedBull Belgium premiered The Art of Flight in Brussels. The movie has been on a world tour throughout this fall (after having been released earlier in September) and yesterday Travis Rice & co found their way to Brussels. The ‘sold out’ (ticket were up for grabs through RedBull’s site) venue was Studio 4 in Flagey, a great location that was for this event.

The movie/documentary itself follows Travis Rice, John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Scotty Lago, Jake Blauvelt, Nicolas Müller, Gigi Rüf, DCP and Pat Moore as they dream up new global adventures and progress the sport to unimaginable levels. For this, production company Brain Farm gathered an arsenal of the most advanced and progressive filmmaking technology to bring the masses a snowboarding adventure of epic proportions. Filmed on location in Jackson Hole, Alaska, Chile, Aspen, Patagonia, British Columbia, … the movie brings viewers along for the perfect blend of adventure/travel drama and high-energy snowboarding action.

Overall the verdict was that its a great (and I really mean GREAT) snowboard movie if not the most epic of them all. Everything about the movie was super-sized, from the budget (read it was around $2 million) to the riding. A mix of sweeping landscape shots of enormous mountains and huge rides/jumps. Even the run time of an hour and a half is more than twice that of your average snowboard films. The sheer size of everything just blows you away and I reckon anyone will appreciate watching it.

The screening tour continues to Amsterdam, Paris, Stockholm & Moscow throughout the week. If you can attend one of the dates I suggest you do or get your hands on a copy of the DVD. Besides impressive the footage the movie also has a great soundtrack worth checking out.

Thanks to the guys over at RedBull Belgium for the invites. Can’t wait to hit the slopes this winter myself although I will keep it more real(istic) & amateur

Gunshots, people running mad in the street and lots of cheers yesterday as Spotify deployed its services in Belgium. Or was it just twitter and my facebook wall that got flooded with Spotify related content? All I know is that lots of people were giving Spotify their praise while other unhappy hipsters were calling the music service evil and complaining about some ads that passed by every now and then?

I must admit I had been using Spotify, through a loophole in their system, for a while already. It was accesible, without any ads in between the streams, as they still had to officially get started in Belgium. Now the people from Spotify blessed me with a premium account. No ads, unlimited access to their service on- & offline … I will extensively use this throughout the next weeks, test their service in on the road with the ol’ trusty iphone, … but reckon I already know the outcome as I have already learned that € 9,99 a month for unlimited access to their database on- & offline is not a lot of money.

For the readers who haven’t tried it out, its pretty easy Just hit the download Spotify app button, install and log in with your facebook account (OH NO, not my facebook account?! Yes, you can only log in with you facebook account and it works like a charm.) Next all you have to do is sit back and enjoy some fresh or older tunes.

Skinemax is Koyaanisqatsi for a generation raised on late night television and B-movie VHS tapes. It’s long form entertainment for short attention spans. An hour long VJ odyssey, it will move your body and warp your mind.

A nostalgic look back at a half remembered childhood growing up in the 80s and early 90s, Skinemax takes a close look at the culture of that era. The images that motivated, delighted, and terrified us on the silver screen, set to propulsive modern music that pines for a simpler time.

And what’s even greater, it stars Kurt Russel Lots of scenes shot by that I hadn’t seen in while …

One of the strangest subcultures I have ever read about is that of the Juggalos. Juggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics.

Urban dictionary even goes further and defines a Juggalo as “A greasy, fat, teenager with a kool aid mustache and no friends who listens to songs about clowns in his step mother’s double wide mobile home when he isn’t hanging out at the mall food court.”

American Juggalo is a documentary that gives us a look at this often mocked and misunderstood group of hardcore Insane Clown Posse fans who meet once a year for four days at The Gathering of the Juggalos. The makers went to The Gathering of the Juggalos and let the Juggalos speak their minds. A nice look into this freak subculture, one I do not seem to understand yet

The sweat dripping from your face. The exhaustion after giving it your all. We have mentioned it before.

The following short film by Dave is a great caption of how the behaviour of fans at a gig is a key part of the relation between them, the band, and the music. Crowd surfing, along with pogoing and moshing, is an act of rock’n'roll defiance, a demonstration that you are there in the thick of it, lost in the music.

The fifth entry in the 2011 Short Stories film competition fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink, “The Pit,” takes viewers into a world of bodies and bouncers. Depares introduces us to the fans who risk ejection from the venue, the musicians who live it every night (including Liam Cormier of Cancer Bats and Lee Spielman of Trash Talk) and the bouncers who try to keep everyone safe. The film contrasts the focused energy of the band with the seeming chaos of the pit.

So, its official, we now have our own 22 curators under one roof as last night (the 22nd of June) at exactly 22:22 hours 22tracks launched its BE counterpart. For those of you who are unfamiliar with 22 tracks, we had previously mentioned this musical weapon of choice a while back #youlaggards.

With Bruxelles added, the guys behind it all are right on track with their global expansion. We’ve been fans since day one and can’t wait to see which cities get added to the magical list of 22 in the near future hopefully.

On the Brussels roster we find Lefto (World Vibes), Deg (Techno), Sound of Stereo (Electro), Murdock (Drum’n Bass), … amongst many others. Our favorite selections right now are the tropical selection by Funky Bompa & the moody selection by @Nosedrip (although we also got a nice taste of dubstep).

22 selections means there’s something to float everyone’s boat, so keep an eye (or even better ear) on them lists.
