Sneaker Tweeters

More superb shoes, sick kicks and great tracks what more does a man need??? This post is too celebrate my super duper new Twitter list Sneaker tweeters.... check it out if you want to get ur own custom shoes and be a real ghetto super star!


These custom nike's simply titled "Stars" are from one of my fave sneaker cutomizers "Artist Luna"... you can check out her sneakers here and she has recently been customizing for LL cool J as well as other famous peeps... you should check out her new blog too. I love her almost high fashion approach to shoe customization, she does some great girls shoes too all hand painted and uniquely designed just too make you stand out from the crowd a little bit more.

Soo maybe not high fashion, but deffo a sneaker freaker himself here is french DJ Brodinski's new mixtape... ENJOY!!!

Bonus -


Remix my kicks have heaps of shoes available over on there website, you can even customize your own, with swarsky crystal, gator fabric and bumps. One of my fave has to be these custom "gators" deffo something I could be seen rocking down oxford street... though I'am a bit worried about the rain... do they transform and start snapping at passers by??

Here is a great dub-step remix of an old Redman tune just to get you in that creative mood when you want to design your own sweet sneakers...


BONUS -


Finally these superb custom Nike Autoflights titled "Ambivielent Orbs" from evolved footwear -they have these orbs which light up and cycle through several different colours... what a sick raver shoe... or for walking down country roads in the dark. I love these guys use of lights in there shoes it reminds me of when I was 11 and mum wouldnt buy me the light ups I wanted... well now worries I'm now saving up for a pair of these.. if I can get hold of them...

Oooo and a little more dubstep to wrap it all up with...

Dandy Deadelus

Alfred DarlingtonImage via Wikipedia

Alfred Darlington aka Daedelus is the electro world dandy, his synth wizardry poses to be inspiring for any wannabe electro producers who dream of breaking the mold. It is neither as hard core or as dancey I as most of the tracks that I post but.. too much of the same thing can get a bit boring. Any-way Daedelus is set to bring out a new EP - Rightious fists of Harmony so I thought I would share this promo track with you.


Also along the same vane, I got sent this promo track from German producer Georg Levin, who is also releasing a new record Everything Must Change... I like the simplicity of this record... deffinately something for my mellow sunday's.

How to make it in america....

How to Make It in AmericaImage by marco_00087 via Flickr

I love watching TV but the brits seem to be un-capeable of making any great shows at the moment... well apart from E4. It seems as though the US have got the monopoly on high quality TV... Well when I say high quality TV; I mean Tv that is entertaining, has a high production value and doesn't involve fat ugly women doing something in front of a group of judges. Every week I bit-torrent my dose of Heroes, Lost, The Mentalist, Spartacus and Fringe and now I have a new one to add to my list... "How To Make It In America"

Is "How To Make It In America" the best Alt TV show since Skins???
Could well be... I think it might take a little more time to see a bit more than one episode. BUT it is HBO which helps, it is also made by the same producers as Entourage which has to be one of my all time fave shows. It tells the story of two young New Yorkers who are trying to make it to the top of there game... like the rest of us.. but we have to dream of living in NY =D The show lets take a glimpse of NY night-life, fashion and art industry, they have managed to include unknown NY artists, skaters and music into a superb blend of television glut that captures the dreams of any wannabe ALT's <-- like me =D

The show was launched with some great viral marketing including a little mixtape featuring Kid Cudi - who also stars in the show. You can also check out the theme song here. And if you cant get enough of this show then why not check out this blog --> they seem to be the best one around.

These are Powers

grapE and envy~ super powered


Burping Super Powers??
Ohhh cool another indie band I like.. hope you do to brooklyn based These Are Powers sound like a marching band with scary Emo girls singing along. I like it, could they be a contender to Crystal Castles??

Although it was Crystal Castles was the first real indie band I loved since hearing Nirvana aged 13, "These Are Powers" have caught my attention because of there ramshackle crazy sound which really doesn't sound like anything else I've ever heard. "These Are Powers" individual blend of noise rock, electro samples and haunting female vocals have hit the spot and I have had there latest EP "Sploshing" has been stuck on repeat all day.

Donovan

Polina
is this just a french thing???

Donovan are'nt just mates with the guys who polish daft punks helmets <-- this is from there fb page, I'm not sure they are aware of the double entendre =D Helmet polishing aside this polished parisian duo have been remixing there way to the top with an impressive fistfull of artists, including Bob Sinclare and Sebastien Tellier in there production portfolio. There personal brand of electro has a lo-fi/lo-esteem/too cool for school French sound, synths tear over dense breakbeat electro to make a come again dance music that will sooth the hips of any dancefloor hipsterrs.
There EP Chord is out on citezen records and there busy working on new material, I noticed that they tweeted getting into a newly revamped studio with fukkk offf. Watch out for these Parisian lads as they will be tearing up a club near you before not too long...

A Beautiful Ghostape

The ghosts in my grandmother's house
no surprise I found it quite hard to find pictures of ghosts!!

Swiss based Live electro band Ghostape sent me this tracks the other day, and I think there sick!! Something to be mellow with on a Sunday rather than get messy with on Friday night, Beautifully crafted beats and melody's make me dream of sitting on top of mountain tops watching the clouds fly by.
Definitely something to add to your rapidly growing music collection...



Ellie and Tiga


Ohh Ellie.... confirming your love for this girl can go no further than enjoying these sick remixes!!


Found some of these tracks floating around the net... but cos I know that there old.. Im not gunna make too much of a fuss. Tiga does rock tho!!

SLUGABED

Petula - In Bed 1412

WTF does that mean I hear you cry... well apart for being one of the UK's coolest wonky DJ/producers. Slugabed actually means someone who stays in bed way too long... yes it could be me.. I'm a slugabed. But the real Slugabed has to be one of the most productive layabouts out there! He's been beavering away on loads of remixes and a brand new EP - Ultra Heated Treated. Here are some tunes for you to sink your teeth into. (thanks to the dudes over at Kidcityblog for the tunes =)

Classixx and Kicks...

Custom Nike Blazer "Walking On Water"

Sick kicks and some sick tracks to go with... you can get the music for free... but good luck on getting free sneakers.


Reebok RETRO POP (USLU Airlines)

As you might notice all these tracks are from LA based producers/DJ's Classixx who's personal brand of sunny electro tunes are a great especially wearing some retro specs and a pair of these sick Reebok's.


KR3W Franklin

Though some times we need to get a bit more serious these new grey bad-boys (from a new brand kr3w) will make you look smart but hip... specially with these tunes on your iPod.

Do you wanna be in da video??


Here's a great little viral campaign from IOW dance duo CESM. Random... but do u wanna be a video star?? Join this group.. listen to this track.... then send them a MPEG of all the stuff you got up to when you heard the tune.
I was thinking Bondage, Bloody Mary's and a psychiatric hospital....

Shy Child - Disonnected (Anoraak remix)





Delphic Acolyte

Your thoughts temporarily deceived.

Delphic's new album Acolyte has to be one of this years most exciting albums yet.. I have been listening to it quite intensely the last couple of days, and enjoying it. Synth/electro pop doesn't seem to be getting any worse though I do expect it to start dying sometime at the end of this year. It is defenately comparable to Empire of the Sun's album last year, you have to give a bit of time but once it lodges into your head you really want to hear it again and again. So here are a few tracks, Get of your arse and buy it if you like it!!!

Drums of Death


I noticed this new remix from Drums of Death on twitter... and because I've been a bit out of the loop this week I thought it would be a great little beginning to the slurge of posts I'm aboout to let loose. Drums of Death have been around for a while now the scot zombie faced synth/bass freak has made some great remixes including peaches and now Hot Chip... hope you enjoy =D


(P.S There are more Hot chip - One Life Stand remixes here and HERE)

Goldielocks NEW EP


Goldielocks new EP - I'm Not Her. Is out today... go and buy it here!! Or on iTunes here.
