One thing you can always rely on; Madera will always drop a high quality, totally awesome mashup. So when I found this little delight in my inbox, I threw my revision in the air like some cheesy American film from the 902s and smashed it on. The vocals from Example are extraordinary, and the backing [...]
Happy chap Englishmen Example aka Elliot John Gleave has tied the knot with Australian model Erin McNaught in Australia.

The couple met at the Fuzzy run Field Day in Sydney during January of last year. For [...]

Os suecos do Taped Rai , enquanto não lançam seu álbum de estreia, liberaram mais uma faixa para saciar nossa curiosidade. Depois da mistura entre o experimental e o eletrônico-comercial de “Shadow of The Sun” , Tom Liljegren e Alexander Ryberg realmente parecem ter deixado de lado as influências que receberam durante o trabalho com DJs e produtores de música eletrônica, apostando em um soft-pop delicioso como próximo single que se sobressai como a melhor amostra da dupla até então. Com uma batida eletrônica crua e uma base suave, “Backyard Animals" acerta em diversos momentos e [...]

Wangechi Mutu is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her work often contains plant-like and/or human-like elements mixed with abstract patterns and decorations. I love it for it's wild and vivid surrealism - and her work extends from collage and paintings through to sculptural installations. Her work, whilst new to me, has appeared in a number of the biggest galleries in the world, from the Tate Modern in London to the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art .

Dubstep darling Flux Pavilion kept the kids up late Thursday night at the Hoxton with a superb -- if short -- setlist of highlights spanning across his young career. Roksonix — labelmates on Flux's brainchild Circus Records — got the dub party started, dropping the high-energy, bass-heavy beats identified with the genre. The crowd was already wild: there was the token crowdsurfing-girl-with-her-top -off who, regardless of freely showing off a very attractive rack, was no sooner dropped by fellow fans. I'm sure she brushed it off, had a drink, and got right back [...]

The Holland born R3hab teams up with the Russian duo to rework Example's track 'Perfect Replacement'. No stranger to creating massive remixes, these producers add an edge that gives Feed Me's produced track a big room house feel. You know exactly what your going to get with when you hear R3hab and Hard Rock Sofa are going to remix a track ; an itch to hit the dance floor.

Jack Potter was a 1950’s American illustrator and poster artist who became a teacher at the School of Visual Arts in New York. His work was used on advertising posters for brands like Air France, Fuller Fabrics and most famously, Coca Cola . I’ve only recently discovered his work and I love its vibrancy - and the simple moments he captures with an ever so slightly wonky clarity. Check out two of his works below: [...]

I'm not sure if this is a new trend (or an old one that hasn't really caught on) but supposedly there's a craze called the 'drink ninja' . It's even made it into the Urban Dictionary (so it must be popular - right?). According to the dictionary a drink ninjas are, "usually under-aged teenagers who steal drinks from drunks at a party" . Which means its been going on for years, but it's now 'got a name'. Mobile phone cameras make it a lot easier to spot these fiends at work [...]
