GET FREE!!!

Major Lazer rules... so does Amber Coffman of The Dirty Projectors!
GET FREE (MP3) is brilliant... the video by So Me is perfect:


WILDEST MOMENTS

yes, i'm a little obsessed with Brixton babe JESSIE WARE. here's a Star Slinger remix i haven't posted yet. Wildest Moments is the follow up to 110% and a heartfelt ballad that didn’t disappoint...

WILDEST MOMENTS

Jessie Ware's best friend, whom she shares an intense relationship with, inspired the song’s creation and it was written after said friend threw a mud pie in her face! likening their friendship to the dynamic of a boyfriend and girlfriend, any ladies with a best friend will understand exactly what she means by this. it is a song that is easily related to any relationship. enjoy & share the wealth!

i'll let you go with a slow, deep & funky beat for the weekend:

MY HOME SWEET HOME!

Words by Casey Chan:

This Most Amazing Time Lapse Shows The Beautiful Life of a City

Call it vapid, call it fake, call it soul sucking. Go ahead. Complain about the traffic, complain about the people, complain about the smog. You can say whatever you want but the fact is this: Los Angeles is so very beautiful. Don't believe me? Watch this time lapse video of LA by Colin Rich which shows you all of Los Angeles, as it moves from day to night, in all its gorgeous glory.

The flashing lights, the crowded freeways. The lovely beaches, the beautiful hills. The sometimes stars, the expansive city. It's a unique place, all right. Colin Rich, says this about his video 'Nightfall':

Nightfall in particular is my favorite time to shoot time lapse. Capturing the transition from day to night while looking back at the city as the purple shadow of Earth envelopes the eastern skyline and the warm distant twinkling halogen lights spark to life and give the fading sun a run for her money—this will never grow old or boring to me.

Colin said that most of the linear motion control shots were captured using a FloatCam DC Slider, whatever it was, it's lovely. You might not love the City of Angels but after watching Colin's video, you can't deny its beauty. [Colin Rich, Colin Rich Vimeo]
