Check this badass time-lapse..

It was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.

nice tool; ifttt.com

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 02:32:09 -0800

Stumbled upon this handy tool which makes it easy to connect different services to each other. For instance if I tag an item in Google Reader with 'tweet' it will automatically create a tweet. You can 'cook' your own recipes by combining different services. Check it out: ifttt.com. Also handy for those people who want to Tweet right on time on New Years Eve (in every time zone).

Pantone Xmas ball

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:12:12 -0700

Although only in the middle stages of October, ’tis the season to get in the Christmas spirit. Surely a designer’s dream, this ten-different color set of Pantone Christmas Ornaments is both clever and stylish. Designed by Selab, these two-toned glass spheres measures 8cm or 3.14″ in diameter, and are a perfect gift for that artistic someone in your life.

Today was a good day

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 11:57:00 -0700

Today was good day, seeing the Los Bangeles tote bags on a sunny day.. We missed summer a bit this year in Rotterdam, but if autumn is like this day, it's all good.. So open up those windows and turn on this autumn anthem by Dam-Funk!

The work of Neck Face

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 11:13:00 -0700

See the full gallery on Posterous

Neck Face is an artist who manages to imbue humor into violence, locate amusement in fear, and takes pleasure in rattling nerves. His work is simultaneously sinister and grim, genuine and playful. He toys with the sacrilegious, antagonizes phobias, and triggers insecurities, all with a measure of ambivalence. His distinctive style straddles the line between reckless and deliberate, yet the work maintains a sense of immediacy, and is always provocative. Neck Face posits nightmares, prompts anxiety, and conjures the devil. In doing so, he champions the urge to laugh, rather than retract, at the discomfort felt from the true absurdity of horror.

Jonwayne = Boss

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:44:14 -0700

Jonwayne @ The Echoplex for Friends of Friends

Heads up - this is the debut full length from LA's recent Stones Throw signing, Jonwayne and it's a peach! Jonwayne is a member of the WEDIDIT Collective, a gaggle of LA-based beatmakers counting Shlohmo and Elan in their number. 'Bowser' is the first we've heard from him, but it's sure to make a lasting impression. Evidently he's got a very unique spin on the whole West Coast psych-boogie sound, sharing a taste for the frilliest riffs with Dâm Funk, but also a a crushed 8-bit vibe nodding to Ras-G, and all wrapped up in this weirdly off-kilter tuning and beats that range from ultra-minimalist machine funk like 'Longest Night' to skewed lo-fi neck snappers like 'Trilla G'. There's also a correlation with James Pants to the extent that they're both out on their own planets in terms of juxtaposed arrangements and weirdo harmonics, but Jonwayne's sound is more in love with a modern HipHop and synths than referencing old pop like Pants. To be fair, the detuned sounds may be a bit too much for the strickly orthodox heads, but what's he's doing is actual quite individual and worthy of closer inspection. Recommended!

This dude is pretty awesome. Nasty 8 bit subbassbeats.. Checkout Bowser, Thanks Bro, Thewayniac, Remixes are things, I don't care (rap mixtape). More about Jonwayne on his site and don't forget to like him on Facebook, he def needs some more fans..

Jonti – Firework Spraying Moon

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:43:14 -0700

"When I think of how to write about Jonti's music, I don't feel like writing at all. I feel like drawing a picture, with watercolors and maybe crayon - colorful, abstract, youthfully curious and open to interpretation. Maybe then I'd staple, glue or nail some found objects to it, recontextualizing their intended purpose into something strange and beautiful."

– Jeremy Sole (Radio Host, KCRW)

Martyn – Ghost People (Brainfeeder, 2011)

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:17:25 -0700

Washington, DC DJ/producer and 3024 label head Martyn gave us the details on a forthcoming single he'll soon be releasing via Brainfeeder, earlier this month, and now, we've got the rundown on his second full-length, which will drop on October 10 courtesy of that same imprint. The album is called Ghost People, and will feature 11 tunes from the artist, which are supposedly less about "sorrows and melancholy," including one collaborative track with Kode9's partner in crime, The Spaceape. In talking about his forthcoming sophomore LP, Martyn says, "For this album, I chose things that are further away from me: the 'ghost people' theme. There are references to DJing in general. Not the jetset DJ life, but the old Paradise Garage DJ life, where people want to share and play the music they really love, regardless of if it’s trendy. Nothing fancy or flashy. Just back to the roots."

Well there it is. Martyn's 2nd album on Brainfeeder, Ghost People. Looking forward! Listen to the first single; Masks.
