I work just next to the Finsbury Leisure Centre, off Old Street and a couple of weeks back as I passed the football pitches after work there were some girls standing around with foxes heads on. It seemed a little strange until I noticed the film crew standing with them. I figured it must have been some music video or maybe a new advert for Foxy Bingo . Then today randomly, I found the video above for 'Wearing My Rolex' by Wiley and it all made sense (Well the reason for some hot girls were dressed as foxes, the [...]

So, last night the headliners were announced for this years Reading and Leeds festivals. Not really much of a surprise, although it's strange to see Metallica headline again just 5 years after they last played there. Never the less, it looks pretty awesome so far. This year is also their 20/10 anniversary, 20 years of Reading Festival and 10 years of Leeds. I would have thought they'd add some more quality acts to the existing lineup to celebrate it. Stay posted. I've been involved with designing the merchandise for the previous two events so, I [...]

This week see's the opening of Bumblebeez front man Chris Colonna's artwork exhibition. I haven't seen much of his stuff but after a quick browse on the Bumblebeez myspace, I'm guessing the new album artwork is a good example of what you might see. The private view is this Thursday at Goodhood store in Hoxton where "The drinks will flow freely and there will be chances to win Bumblebeez vinyl, prints and other goodies!", apparently.

Well last night, as expected The Presets sent the crowd crazy as they introduced the us to a good selection of "emotive techno...pagan house and choral space funk" from the new album as well as the favorites from 'Beams' and 'Blow'. Their new material is living up to the expectation from what I heard of it. There are some down tempo numbers and of course plenty of bangers in there that were certainly appreciated last night. But of course 'Go Hard, Go Home' got the place moving like no other as the show drew to a close. I also managed [...]

Hailing from the south of France, Leroy Washington and Sevenfive have become somewhat regulars on Oh-Death, and rightfully so. These guys have been spreading their infectious sound that provokes you to tap your foot, nod your head or just get the hell up and dance in the form of original tracks, remixes and jackin' mixtapes for almost a decade now. And last year they decided to rename their collaborative project to the aptly suited Tuff Wheelz. So how long have you been Djing? Leroy Washington - I've been djing since [...]

Yesterday, I was driven to a recording studio in west London and had the privilege to meet my all time dance hero's The Prodigy. I'm hopefully going to be working with them on their upcoming tour merchandise for the summer and later in the year. I had the privilege of being one of the very few who have been told the new album title and have seen the artwork by a well known London illustrator. Now, not to be one to sour negotiations as I really want to work on this I'm gonna keep quiet about details, but stay posted [...]

I just read about this project called White Glove Tracking in which May last year the task was set for visitors of www.whiteglovetracking.com to help isolate the position of the white glove in all 10,060 frames of Michael Jackson's 5 min 34 sec landmark performance of Billy Jean to aid experiment of coding and image manipulation with somewhat hilarious consequences. After about a minute you can see what they've done to the footage, and if you were to spend a bit more time on it you could amend it so the glove was the only thing [...]
