Some time ago video’s started popping up about hagwalah; a Saudi Arabian style of car drifting. French director Romain Gavras, who you might known from his videos for Justice and Simian Mobile Disco, took the hagwalah concept as a backdrop for M.I.A.’s new video Bad Girls. The result is.. awesome!
Check out this new and crazy clip from Die Antwoord, the futuristic rap-rave crew from South Africa. The song is called ‘I Fink U Freeky’, and is just out now.
Remember the Upular remix that went round about two year’s ago; a track composed only using chords, bass notes and vocal samples from the Disney Pixar film ‘Up’. It’s creator Nick Bertke (aka Pogo) latest project is called Jaaam and it’s a mashup of voices and beats from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
A lick is a short phrase in music and because of our love for (electronic) music, me and two friends started Nine Licks last September. The music is categorized per moment, so if you’re looking for some beats to work with, music for on the beach or smooth music for in your bedroom; just press play.
Gather your family around on this second day of Christmas to sing-a-long in the snow with your favorite hedgehog. No, not that hedgehog. These three in this animated (and interactive) short created by animation house Bird Box Studio from London.
Signature catchphrases from your favorite rappers. Where you kind of wish that 2.0 will be upgraded to it being more a game of Memory. For the whole family. Don’t hesitate to send suggestions for new ones.
Check out this new track and videoclip by Method Man. As you will see, it’s fully sponsored by kids candy brand Sour Patch. I’m not sure whether to like it or not. What do you think?
Very mystic video to Jazz Neversleeps‘ recent single : Diepgank, which is out on Brussels-based On-Point Records. Sounds like it comes out of a London dungeon though, packed with pussiecats!
Two of the greatest hiphop artists of this time teamed up to create Watch The Throne. Jay-Z and Kanye West already released a few songs and a short documentary over the last months. Now it’s time for the album itself.
Just a few weeks ago the new Radio Soulwax app by 2manydjs and now Björk has popped up with an app for her new album Biophilia, which features a voiceover from Sir David Attenborough no less.
A music video for the New York based band Bell. No post-production effects were used in this video. Everything on the face is happening in real-time, via hacked Kinect, laptop and LED projector. It’s built using FaceTracker code from Jason Saragih. Visuals by Zach Lieberman, Francisco Zamorano, Andy Wallace, and Michelle Calabro. Here’s the making of.
…That I Can’t Win (feat. Santigold) is a song from the latest Beastie Boys album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. The videoclip is directed by Spike Jonze and contains 11 minutes of pure action hero awesomeness!
This is what playing guns feels like. There will be some moms (and liberal dads) out there who really won’t like this video but when you were a little boy you played war like these kids in the new Is Tropical video – imagining blowing your friends away. I love it. Directed by Megaforce. Great animation by 7 at Machine Molle.

Each fan can choose 10 out of 20 new tracks, create artwork, and even earn money by on-selling their album version. The band provide digital posters and banner adverts to market the offer to friends.

The Node is a project visually made by Murat pak and redone by 16 sound and audio artists. A notification will be made when each version goes online. See more on his vimeo account.
Great capture video showcasing the realtime sound visualisation of a Telefon Tel Aviv track made with Partitura. This custom software is the result of the collaboration between Abstract Birds and Quayola. Partitura translates sound into abstract visual forms.
A while ago, I posted the teaser trailer of our first feature Rabat. Now it’s time to proudly present the official title track ‘De Leven’ by befriended artist Sef.
Graphic designer and illustrator Piet Parra is famous for his creative work and his Rockwell Clothing brand. But he’s also active as one of the members of the band Le Le, and he just published ‘The Von Smallhousen edits‘, Daft-italo-disco-sample-ism. Great summer tunes!
The real fan undoubtedly has seen it. But if the Beastie Boys present a trailer for their new album, it should be posted on NW. Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 is released May 3rd, while 1 is still delayed. Make Some Noise!
Rockband Soulwax used all kind of video footage of their performances and interviews to create surprising (and randomly played) loops. With a nice result!
Strangelove, an advertising agency in Amsterdam, came up with the idea to ask music professionals to create their own Mixed Tape. Just as back in the days, but this time on Spotify. I like the simplicity of this concept.
Job Roggeveen is not only part of the inspirational trio Job, Joris & Marieke, but also a gifted musician. On his latest project Happy Camper he collaborated with a lot of nice Dutch artists and top notch rock label Excelsior.
Las Vegas based band The Killers have switched to HTML5. With some nice stuff hidden in the website.
American mashup mastermind Girl Talk released his new album All Day for free. Another fine mashup of pop songs. Travis McLeskey created a player with which you can actually see what samples are playing as you listen to the album. Just like he did with Feed The Animals.
Can’t wait for TRON (December 17). To keep the fans happy (and the blogs writing) a new Daft Punk track has been released. They also make a cameo appearance in the video, in which they’ve changed from fine musicians into sharp looking torturers (the quote “electrify the boys & girls” could also mean they’re still DJ’s, which would be kind of boring).
Since Harald is not around to post Momkai’s latest opus himself… A new website for Dutch singer/mc Pete Philly that will double as an album. A new track will be added weekly. So it’s free music, in one of the fanciest music players on the web. Super slowmo, low saturated footage by Momkai & Daniel Ashes accompanies each song, no editting, just the footage and the music. Tight.
A nice short giving a glimpse into the mind of Ninja, frontman of peculiar South African group Die Antwoord. Directed by the beautifully named Kobus Holnaaier.
