Hot Summer Jam from Ed Bangers SebastiAn. Funky as a mother. Sexy video too.

Keith Loutit and Jarbas Agnelli present an impressive tilt shift short film of the iconic carnaval in Rio de Janeiro. Captured in 2011, the short film includes the beautiful surrounding scenery of the city, the build up for the carnaval and of course the incredible parade. A must watch, check it out here below.

Another tragic loss for music. One of the greatest and most successful singers of our generation. Remember her for that incredible voice rather than the demons she battled. RIP Whitney. We will always love you.

Our top three Whitney Jams

1. Girls On Top- ‘I Wanna Dance With Numbers’

Early Richard X bootleg of Kraftwerk & Whitney. Always kills the floor

2. It’s Not Right But It’s Ok

90′s R&B cut that Stormed the charts at the time.

3. ‘How Will I Know’

Our absolute favourite Whitney record. Unashamedly love this song, She looks stunning too.

Matthijs Vlot went and searched for film footage featuring dialogue that would work in sync with the Lionel Richie classic “Hello”. Job well done. Humourous results

Girl Talk (AKA Greg Willis) is an American musician/DJ/Producer who creates insane mash-ups and sound collages from hundreds of different samples. His music has been called ‘A lawsuit waiting to happen’ amongst other things. He is particularly known for his wild (near legendary) live shows. You can watch a video of that here

His style of mixing is fun and infectious. Check out his albums . They have soundtracked many a Revolution night out.

The film follows his story and touches on the thorny issue of piracy & copyright infringement. It looks great and has received critical acclaim at many of the international film festivals. You can watch the whole film here

Check the trailer….

Heart-stoppingly beautiful cover of Bonnie Raitt by Bon Iver. Can’t describe how special this song is. If Bon Iver isn’t on your radar you must check out both of his albums, Life affirming stuff. Fast becoming one of the most important singer/songwriters of our generation.

SBTRKT continues to be at the forefront of the UK bass movement. Check this amazing DJ mix he did for Rinse FM last week. Full of awesome music for dancing. Zip up, wade in. Heads down on the floor business for late night jacking.
