Tune of the week V.19 — Sorry I haven't been posting here too much recently, I've been flat out with things. This kid is 15/16 years old and is insane. Some say he's jacking Blawan's style, I can't decide, but the more there is of this the better. He's done a promo mix for Mixmag recently, released his first record, as well as getting a legitimate release for this remix. In other news, I've been interning at a new studio for the past couple of weeks - it's been great so far. Completely different environment and processes to what I was used to, so I'm learning more and more each day (no complaints there).

Tune of the week V.17 — It's a mix, not so much a tune, but it's full of great bass music that'll get you moving around in your office chair or wherever else you're sitting. RL Grime has become a big player in the future-trap/trap/bass/hip-hop side of things very quickly. Stream/download the Halloween special here.

I've got a new project to upload to my personal portfolio tomorrow - here's a sneak peak. I should have a few more recently completed projects coming soon too. This one is a new construction management/development company based in Thornbury.

I like Eddie Huang - he's got a fun personality and articulates food & cuisine at a level that I can understand / relate to. His latest little documentary is through Vice, called "Fresh Off The Boat". To be honest, I wasn't expecting half of the content seen in the flick, it's pretty graphic and no-doubt offensive to some. I'm not sure what aggravates me more; the live slaughter of a rabbit (which based on the ever-trusting YouTube comments was done the wrong way), or the fact that it's completely okay to shoot guns and drink in the same environment? I think this video is a better representation of this dude.  EDIT: Annnnd it's been removed from YouTube already. No surprises there.

Beaver Brook is a cabin built out in the woods in NY, which has been documented from start to finish on this website. Big images, beautiful scenery, and an amazing structure. If this doesn't make you want to leave your desk and go outside, I'm not sure what will.

Tune of the week V.16 — Fantastic little house refix featuring one of my most favourite vocal samples of all time. Think Faith Evans, not Fatman Scoop.

Lundgren+Lindqvist have been a favourite studio for some time. They just updated their site with an incredible new project for Yoshida Design, which perfectly blends Japanese and European design traits and styles. The attention to detail in this project is just incredible.

Tune of the week V.15 — Forthcoming Night Slugs release. Can't wait for this aquatic monster which everyone has been referring to as the "submarine tune". L-Vis 1990 can't do any wrong (unless it was his "Neon Dreams" album which I think lacked a clear direction), his earlier release of "Club Constructions Vol.1" was out of this world too, proper badman tingz.

Kenzo. Full screen this one.

Tune of the week V.14 — First heard this one in Shlohmo's Boiler Room set (which I posted a couple down), and then heard again in Joy Orbison's most recent Resident Advisor podcast. Production in this is next level, and that stuttered vocal that just floats about within the track is to die-for. No doubt we'll see a couple remixes of this tune sometime in the near future (fingers-crossed).

Here's an interesting short-documentary on the essentials required to live out of a van. It's a bold and risky move packing up your life into a car and quitting your job, but this fella has his reasons which I highly respect. This is another great blog about van-life. This one's great too.

Some of my recently-uploaded work has found it's way to the front-page of Australian Infront. A very exciting thing to wake-up to, thanks to Damien Aistrope.

Shlohmo takes over Boiler Room LA for an hour. It's worth watching for all the bizarre characters in the crowd... There's some true odd balls in there. Tracklist is solid too, mixing not so much. EDIT: The YouTube video has more issues than Vogue... Watch it via Vimeo.

Tune of the week V.13 — Featuring the lovely production by Supreme Cuts, topped with the mighty-talented, young-gun Haleek Maul (& Deniro Ferrar) on vocals. You can download this album (which is full of gems) for free here.

This is a really nicely-shot little documentary of some friends, motorbikes and a quest to find "what's over the mountain". Would love to do something like this one day.

Tune of the week V.12 — Such a beautiful tune remixed a true master. Jacques Greene's take on 'Lost In Tokyo' brings the originally hypnotising track to a new level. Love the melodic chords in this teamed with the enchanting wails. Need to work this one into my dj-sets for sure!

The MAKR Blog is something I often return-to. It's great source of imagery highlighting the simple life/outdoors/DIY/things you want to do but don't have the time to etc. It always inspires me to go camping, grow a beard, or build a shack. You'll also find a couple of shots featuring the female body form in there as well (no complaints). MAKR also produce some very fine leather accessories for yourself, and around the home.
