Long known for his signature drum and bass style, DJ Zinc has, as of late resorted to classifying his dubthumping tracks as “crack house”. With a new single out on February 8, featuring Ms Dynamite, Zinc returns to the top of my playlist with his imperative plea to Wile Out. Watch now and let the rubbery-dubbery radness move you! And if you know what “Wile Out” means – let us know!!!
Wakeskating with a winch
•January 19, 2010 • Leave a CommentWakeskate winching involves “an engine, spool, rope, handle, frame, and some sort of simple transmission. The person being towed walks (or swims) away from the winch and pulls out all of the rope.” When the winch lets loose, the boarder can go 15-25 mph. Check it!
Stereogum & team9 – MySplice 4: ‘09 Mashed Up
•January 5, 2010 • 1 Comment
There could not have been a more apt ID3 than that of Freelance Hellraiser’s “Stroke Of Genius,” the MP3 that launched this decade’s most fitting musical legacy. Parts of two or three or thirty tracks mixed into one supersong? What better than mashups to soundtrack a generation of smartphone-wielding Adderall chompers coming of age in a world where all music is free. In the years since Freelance Hellraiser (and 2 Many DJs, Go Home Productions, DJ Earworm, Party Ben, et al) raised the bar for bastard pop, we’ve seen bootlegging go mainstream in the hands of Girl Talk and Danger Mouse, not to mention 2004’s chart-topping Collision Course and the dozen questionable Jigga x [rock band] torrents in its wake. This year, bands like Passion Pit and Phoenix distributed stems of their hits as blogbaiting publicity stunts. (It worked!) Still, when it comes to remixes, few are more thrilling than hearing the vocals of one song over the instrumental of another and have it absolutely work. Which is why we’ve again collaborated with our favorite mashup artist, Australian producer Neil Mason aka team9, to mix our favorite tracks of 2009 with familiar oldies, creating something more than the sum of their parts. The process — Stereogum acquiring exclusive audio and making playlists, Neil working his ACID Pro magic (i.e., the hard part) — started months ago, with an eye on this holiday deadline. One of the best MySplice yet. Enjoy…

Cool, it looks like 2010 is gonna be full of desert epic battle films! Personally Im really looking forward to Prince of Persia. I loved the games and even though I wasn’t sure about Jake playing the prince (as he doesn’t really look that Persian, does he?) the trailer looks awesome!!

Having said that, the remake of Clash of the Titans looks great too. And with a cast like Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator 4), Liam Neeson (Batman Begins, Taken, A-Team) and Mads Mikkelsen (cool baddy in Casino Royale) it should be quite something.
Interesting the stunning British actress, Gemma Arterton, managed to get into both films. top job..
