China Eco-City

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately into cities of the future and how technology and creativity can go hand in hand to create a liveable environment. So this was a great watch.

Sorry for the dodgy video (just enlarge it to full screen)

KiD CuDi: No One Believes Me

Kid Cudi’s new song “No One Believes Me,” was produced by Dot Da Genius. The tune will also be featured in the upcoming remake of the 1985 horror-comedy film Fright Night, but until now the song had been under wraps. Not only did Cudi release that song today, he also let loose the Craig Gillespie-directed music video for it.

The Antics Roadshow from French Kiss on Vimeo.

Attention all artists, appreciators of art and general renegades. This is a great watch!

For our readers who aren’t located in the UK, you probably haven’t seen Banksy’s one hour TV special, The Antics Roadshow, which aired on Channel 4 over the weekend. Titled as a pun on theAntiques Roadshow, a long-running British television show, Banksy explores the “history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics” including many interviews and re-enactments with the actual protagonists.

Beers, beats and burgers at South Bay Beach Club HK

When summer time rolls around in Hong Kong the city can become quite a steamy dumpling. So there’s nothing better than getting a crew together on a Sunday afternoon and heading to the other side of the HK island to a little spot called South Bay Beach Club. It’s a cool little rooftop cafe/bar where Steve spins some nice cruisy summer beats, the BBQ’s fired up and plenty of cold beers and jugs of mojitos. The scenery is amazing looking out to sea with the beach full of people soaking up the western sun and a fan of boats off the beach. There’s no better way to recover from the night out before or just relax before the start of another busy week.

A day in the life of DJ Mick Boogie…

Mick Boogie is one of my favourite DJs and always does killer mixtapes. Read his story of how he and fellow DJ Jus Ske had the privilege to spin at the top secret after party for Jay-Z and Kanye’s new album ‘Watch The Throne’ –

Sometimes life as a deejay is amazing.  Sometimes life as a deejay is repetitive and monotonous, like any career.  Last night fell into the first category.  I got a call from my 4AM homie Jus Ske like “stop what you are doing and meet me at The Darby.”  I finished up what I was working on and headed over there… and what a night.

We ended up deejaying the top-secret afterparty for Jay-Z and Kanye’s exclusive “Watch The Throne” VIP listening event and it was amazing.  A who’s who of pop culture in 2011 was in this room… Jay, Kanye, Nas, A-Trak, Khaled, 88-Keys and more.  And everyone was partying to the soundtrack we provided.  The best thing about playing for a room of music insiders is you can just play from the heart, and not worry about throwing in silly top-40 girl anthems.  And that’s exactly what we did.

Jus started off with a great set of Jay-Z rarities and Jay/Nas collabos (“Success!”) and Jay was sitting in the corner bobbing his head, rapping with all the songs.  The highlight for me was when he played Biggie’s “Realms Of Junior Mafia” and Jay went nuts.

Then it was my turn… as I got on, Kanye jumped up on a couch and took control of the room so I intro’d with “Dark Fantasy” and so we began.  After running thru my favorite Kanye hits and album tracks… (my favorite: “Thru The Wire” – his favorite: “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”) it was time for the big moment: “Otis.”  I swear, we must have stopped and restarted that song about 5 times and Jay and Kanye enjoyed the crowd mouthing every word to their new classic.

After that, I was able to dig a little deeper, playing some remixes from my Viva La Hova project, some old Kanye/Jay blends I had in the stash (Jay’s face when I mixed “Heart Of The City” over “We Major” was priceless), and even some live Jay-Z “Unplugged” audio.

The personal highlight for me was when I played “Big Brother” and Kanye basically rapped the entire thing with Jay right there.  Seemed like a perfect way to end a night celebrating a momentous album from the two most talented people in hip-hop right now. All in all, an amazing night.

HK Urban Terrain

I love riding my fixie in Australia but unfortunately Hong Kong isn’t the best town for fixies. All the hills and the roads and footpaths are so dodgy. Not to mention the 24 hour traffic of cars, trams, buses and people. So I recently took up Mountain Bike riding. There’s a huge MB community in HK but most of the spots take a bit of planning to organise a mini van or ferry to get to the tracks. That sucks for me because I never know when I’m going to have some free time, so instead I’ve taken the challenge to find some urban terrain around the city. I’m still getting my head around all the gears and weight distribution when going down stairs and off drops, but it’s f#ckin’ fun! I love any sport with an element of danger and gets the adrenaline going. Here’s a few pics burning around central.

The Flake

The Flake, Da Feng’s latest design, is covered in hinged carbon-fiber pieces. Each one is connected by carbon nanotubes to tiny solenoids that can make them stand up or lay flat, like an angry cat puffing up its fur. Each “flake”, is made of carbon fiber, and can go from perfectly flat and streamlined to standing up nearly vertically. So if you want to go fast, all the flakes lie flat, but when you turn, all the flakes on one side of the car will stand up, helping lock the car down to the road. The Flake car, its wheels are made out of twelve independently extendable leg-things, allowing for an adjustable contact surface. Their 12 “legs” extend and contract in response to the road surface and vehicle speed, the bottom part of the “wheel” flattens at high speeds, turning the circle into a D-shape, so Feng calls them D-wheels.
