MUSIC: you must listen to Pictureplane...

the album starts with a retro rave sound set on an old school breakbeat/d&b rhythm...but it doesn't stay there.

what strikes me about this record, is that every sound matters, on every song. somehow, Pictureplane manages to synthesise so many qualities/ elements of my musical past life. and then, he doesn't resurrect or reincarnate them; it's like he reanimates them...

THEE PHYSICAL by PICTUREPLANE

freaking fantastic stuff...but so NOT the type of show AlSto will enjoy going to with me... ;-P huge thanks to TERRORBIRD for turning me on to yet another record!

MUSIC: CHLLNGR's eerie video makes their song even better.

i really dig BLK JKS and THE VERY BEST. so, learning that Mpupi Mo of the former and Mo Laudi of latter had a hand in remixing this CHLLNGR track really got me excited!

According to the Vimeo description, the video was

"filmed in a Danish forest two hours outside of Copenhagen, Bjorn Stig Hansen and Steven Jess Borth II had only one bright light and one camera to make this happen in a period of two summer nights."

i wanna go to Denmark now.

HUGE thanks to the fine folks at TERRORBIRD MEDIA, especially Tim, for sending along this bit of brilliance!
