DJ Olive – Let Us Live Mix
This featured mix from percussionlab has the genre description: Roots & Acid, boards of africa, roof music, dub. I can only say this is one of the best, more chilled, seamlessly mixed eclectic dub and roots mix i´ve heard in a while (after the Black Family crew from good ol Portugal that is). Its interesting to see Burial, Mala and Kode9 mixed with Fat Freddys Drop and Boards of Canada. The extensive tracklist (after the jump) shows how much music is seamlessly squeezed into this great mixtape! Find out more about DJ Olive on his website.
Here´s the original description for the mix:

Demo by Holon – Noodlesoup
holon – noodlesoup from holon on Vimeo.
A demo (from the demoscene) is mostly a non-interactive audio-visual presentation that runs in real-time on a computer. This one is done with Java and can be download as a executable for PC here http://holon.drastic.net/. Credits go to one of my former colleagues rtz23 and pandrr. Love the outcome and the powerful colors.. couldnt get it to run on a pc though. I´d love to see how it works in real time.
Stuff & Things
Everything consists of pixels. Nice little animation by Jack Cunningham. No need for words.

ByteFM – Quality Radio Channel
Another great all day soundtrack by the online radio channel – ByteFM.
This is not just another radio-stream but a real independent radio channel – quality stuff. Based in Hamburg and founded by the Musicjournalist Ruben Jonas Schnell it went live in January 2008 – and just a couple of weeks ago, the Ruhr-Studio in Bochum started broadcasting via the worldwide web, too. Of course, without any commercial breaks its being financed only via free donations.
The focus is on music made by voluntary musicians, journalists and many other music nerds.
So tune in, check it out and get inspired by new sounds without any boundaries. (klickonpic)
Beardyman at Glastonbury 2010
Infamous and skilled Beardyman from the UK shows how its done at Glastonbury 2010. What a stage!
Switching from techno to dubstep and back, sounds from machines, singing, beatboxing and 5 Korg Chaos Pads in front of him. None of this is pre-recorded. See for yourself.
Happy Meal Project
The artist Sally Davies photographed one McDonald’s hamburger and fries every day for 137 days. I am baffled, as they look almost the same. Any type of organic substance would decompose with microbes from the air…not the Happy meal. You stomach might be stronger then microbes but i wouldnt say that its easy to digest this stuff. Think about this next time you wanna stop at the burger place..

Gilles Peterson Summer Jazz Mix
Who doesn´t know about Gilles Peterson? For those who really don´t here´s a small introduction i found at his website:
“Music lover, record collector, DJ, broadcaster… Perhaps most famous for his much loved genre-exploding radio shows on BBC Radio 1 (and 17 other stations around the world including Japan’s leading commercial station J-Wave), Gilles’ insatiable appetite for new music undoubtedly lies at the heart of his success. Worldwide is 10 years young and fresher than ever – a benchmark for broadcasters the world over; global demand for his DJ sets is at an all-time high; the mighty Worldwide Festival (held annually in France and Singapore) curated by GP just gets better and better; and as for his record label Brownswood Recordings? Well, it just goes from strength to strength.”Gilles great shows on BBC Radio 1 and his eclectic podcasts have been crossing my path many times and it was always a pleasure. Now, i do have a strong focus on electronic music in this Blog but this is great for a change!
Jazz..for those summer nights that are hopefully still to come.

Illustrations by ZSO
ZSO also known as Sara Blake does some amazing Illustration work. Last night i was watching Justin Mallers live transmition on ustream and he commented about her and led me to the site. Nice way of finding out about new stuff.. So anyway, she is truly talented and does some very cool stuff. Here´s what she writes on her about page:
“Hello, I’m ZSO. (On paper you may also know me as Sara Blake.) I’m an Interactive Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator living and loving in New York City. ZSO (pronounced |zō|) is a collection of letters that I find aesthetically and phonetically beautiful. Together they make sound much like “so,” the adverb which means “to such a great extent.” I am a person of extremes, for better or worse (most often the latter), so the ring of it was fitting, and the moniker has since stuck for good. “See more of here work on her website (www.hellozso.com) and check out the interviews on dazed digital and thee blog (to name a few). By the way..thats her.
Multi Touch Light Table by Gergwerk
A very interesting approach to create a graphic user interface for mobile djs. I like the design and the way functionality can be controlled intuitively once you are familiar with the system. Still i can´t really imagine that you can always beatmatch perfectly with just tapping the screen. To make this work, there should be a way of spinning each side to control the record / track with ease..
In my opinion on a professional level this concept is hard to deliver, but for the more private and entertainment sector this stuff is great. Specially with all the mobile devices coming.. Good work!

Dalton Ghetti’s micro pencil art
Amazing work, if i just think off the fragility of a pencil tip.
“Brazilian born, Connecticut based, Dalton Ghetti carefully crafts the tips of pencils into amazing micro sculptures. These miniature masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere between a few months to a few years.”
Words by Everynone
This short film produced by Everynone (Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante) promotes NY public radio. Great work and be sure to check out there other stuff!

LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY – REVELATION
OFFICIAL WEBSITE DISCOGS MYSPACE BUY HERE
I guess the more musically inclined reader should know this dude. Besides, being the producer of many Bob Marley and the Wailers records, Lee scratch Perry and Mad Professor where something like the inventors of psychedelic funk and helped the emergence of Reggae, Ska and of course Dub in Jamaica. There is a quote that I read that pretty much gets to the heart of it: „Lee „Scratch“Perry is the Salvador Dalí of Dub.“
So this outstanding musician – living legend has made a new record with release date aujourd’hui (10.08.2010). Maybe it is not the best album he ever made, but it is definitely worth mentioning. This guy is still making tunes being 74 years old. I am not sure how many records actually go on his account, he might have produced one for every year that he lived…
Revelation is somehow less bubbly and psychedelic then some of his former work but its none the less interesting. It shows a new side in his music. It’s actually really funny in parts having a thoughtful and Ironic approach towards topics of our time. For instance the diss of the Kabbalah hype in the track books of Moses or the mockery on Michael Jackson asking “why did your cut of your nose? why did you change your big pretty nose into a little little funny nose?”, in the track freaky Michael.
From Revelation 2010 – Run for Cover
Enjoy this fun Record!
