Hi.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

This video for 'Spheres of Fury' by Hecq vs. Exillion (please, feel free to forget these names at synaps-firing speed) is a very silly idea, very well executed. Come to think of it, that could be the motto to my entire life. "A very silly idea, very well executed".
Mr. Lupe originally dropped this Mixtape 'cassette style', which means it was one long mp3, but I prefer the 'chopped' version with separate tracks. I haven't listened all the way through, but I've picked up the rhymes 'I'm doing this for the block and the blogosphere' and 'I am on my 'uh hu' they are on their 'oh no', I've heard him rapping over Radiohead, chuckled at what I can only describe as the first MC'd advertising on a mixtape (basically an ad for the HP DM3 laptop with Lupe saying 'yeah' and 'you got that right' on top) and you can be damn sure I'm gonna be bumping that singalong 'Angels' Remix in my car for the rest of the day. 'Cuz I'm commercial like that.
It's 8-bit ultraviolence with strippers, money shots, blood guts and a whole lot of poo. Like a car crash with a truck full of porn stars. Can't watch. Have to watch. The 'Trucker's Delight' track itself is from 2008. You might remember it popping up in the Soulwax Essential Mix on BBC last year. What's that? Don't have the Soulwax Essential Mix yet?
I've been working on a new project. Can't talk too much about it right now. What I can do is share some of the stuff that's inspiring me along the way.
Faris Badwan, the slightly eccentric frontman of the biggest hype of 2009 The Horrors, has been working on a side project called 'Lumina'. This is his self-directed video for their first (and only?) release "I'll be with you", a Black Lips cover.
Personally, I don't get the Nina Sky thing. I mean, yeah they look good and one of them knows how to DJ and all. But this could easily have been a new J.Lo track, too. That being said, the video is very much NSFW and I don't think J.Lo will be releasing a video with mutated strippers with rockets for legs any time soon. Her loss.
Aux Raus are playing at the Diesel U Music party in BXL tonight. And by 'playing', we of course mean jumping naked from a giant inflatable tongue. We sent them some questions. This is the filth that came back:
Mixtapes by Lindstrom (feat. ABBA and Black Sabbath) and the XX (feat. the XX bootlegs, Four Tet, Skream, Burial and the XX edits)
Answering the age old question: "So what you done good?", Buraka Som Sistema goes back to Buraka -their original neighbourhood in Portugal- to throw their peeps a bona fide block party.
A mix by Justice? In 2009? Really? Yes! Well, kind of. Annie Mac re-broadcast an old mix from when Justice mixes were still a big thing, see?
We are giving away 1 duo ticket to the Anarchic spécial D : U : M edition in Brussels this Friday!
Fafi, the girl whose name now actually means 'fresh' in Dutch (no kiddin'), goes back to the roots of her first collection: all-out sparkles, rainbows and sparkling Fafinettes lounging about in rainbow-coloured panties and stockings.
