Jump Style
by The Liars were in the Netherlands recently and we came across some kids doing this dance. It’s really bizarre to watch. I was ridiculed for not having heard of it. I love how it references the popular Japanese video game, Dance Dance Revolution.

London DJs The Nextmen have a cool new video out for their soon-to-be-released single Lion’s Den, which features the vocals of Ms. Dynamite and Andy Catois and is set to burn down dancefloors. We asked the guys to give us a rundown on the music they’re listening and they started with the Jack Penate track, Todays Tonight: ‘This is an extremely difficult one to explain. I guess it’s Afro-Folk-Pop, or something horrible like that. It’s a great track with a lovely atmosphere and a welcome return from Penate. This one was produced by the mighty Paul Epworth, who manages to give it a unique and classic sound’. Read the rest of The Nextmen’s Secret Playlist.
Hailing from The Netherlands, Chris Berens works predominantly with ink, varnish and acrylic. Although, by his own admission, his paintings are not made with a particular message in mind, he works from recollection to create his very personal and intimate images. ‘I treat every painting as I would a diary’, he says, ‘in which I paint my thoughts and feelings’.

Nowadays it seems that the best viewing is on the internet, not TV. Though Vice magazine tends to be mostly fashion and trendsetting, Vice TV happens to be worldy and informative. It’s mostly comprised of documentaries but incorporates artists as presenters and programmers. [see also the Portable Film Festival]
I first came across David Shrigley’s funny and disturbing postcards a little while back. More recently I discovered a book of his that looked like a record full of lyrics for songs entitled The Empty Sleeve. Cool! He’s since asked musicians to make songs from these lyrics for a new project called Worried Noodles. Read more

I’m from holland, and this Jump thing is a big hype at the moment. The music they dance to is JumpStyle, which is a form of HardStyle Trance. So this IS the music to dance on.
It was fun at the beginning, it was something else then Gabber/Hardcore/Hardstyle … Only it got really overhyped. It’s all over TV with “Jump Contests” and all, and nowadays “Jumping” is mostly performed by 12-year olds.
It’s the first time since 20 years or so, that this music scene has developed it’s own dancing style (since Gabber/Hardcore, i mean), so this new style proved to be the next best thing, but now it’s becoming kind of ridiculous, just search for Jumpstyle on Youtube …

OMG, that was the most wonderfully retarded thing I have ever seen.. Do they bust that out at the techno clubz??

This is just a choreographed version of Chicago footwork set to techno, but way less complicated in the delivery. The best video I’ve seen with “footworkin” is probably the “Walk it out” video by Dude ‘N Nem but that doesn’t really show the mastery of “footworkin.” You have to come to Chi-town for that.

I preferred it when it ’s hardcore/gabber, I’m not really a hardstyle fan 
The jump thing has never caught on here in Canada, but the ravers here all know about it

Another bunch of white people proving we can’t dance. Very embarrassing

That is quite cool and yes I know I am sad for thinking this =]

I’m from Belgium and the first time I saw this dance style it looked ridiculous but I kinda grows on you. Now this dance is just ordinary here and everyone is doing it: boys, girls, kids, … When I actually tried learning this dance (just for fun) I found out that it isn’t as simple as it looks like and I respect the ones who can do this properly.

Yeah, and by the way, it’s done at raves and clubs, but I just do it in school and I can use it for nearly any beat given to me. I have actually found that some of the songs by Rammstein make good jumping songs, if you are into jumping to a darker/heavier beat, which I love. Owe it all to Patrick Jumpen, the “I’m a Jumper!” website, and my friend who introduced it to me a while ago. If you would like to contact me or chat about it you can find me at:

DFA Records need little introduction to dancefloor devotees, but Hold On, a recent release by lesser known artist Holy Ghost!, may not be on the radar just yet. It will be though: we nominate it for track most likely to receive stereo overplay.
With its long history in poster design and with a younger generation of artists who grew up with both Eastern and Western European influences, the ‘new Poland’ is booming. I had a blast when I visited Warsaw about a year ago and met all the movers and shakers in design. My friend just sent me a link to Tymek Jezierski’s amazing comic works. They’re so fresh! The only problem I have with them is that I don’t read Polish.

I don’t care if Jimmy Hendrix was dragged kicking and screaming from where he lies, put through a torrid round of detox, and handed an invisible guitar – a Flying V carved out of the bones of Robert Johnson. It would still pale in comparison to this. Read more
If on a picture perfect summer’s day, you find yourself wishing for a blizzard, something is wrong. Very wrong. But don’t panic, this weather preference has nothing to do with hatin’ on sunshine, and everything to do with an infamous leather bomber jacket from Claude Maus. It’ll have you hooked with its luxurious soft leather, stitched front paneling, Italian wool lining and the very necessary detachable hood. If you’re somewhere cold, then chances are you’re nowhere near this Australian-based label. So if you’re looking for a push in the purchase direction, it’ll be pleasing to know that the Aussie dollar ain’t doing too good. Gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘investment piece’, doesn’t it?

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.

Almanac Market in Philadelphia is slightly pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. Offering fantastic bread, cheeses, produce, and cured meats such as sopressata and pepperoni, it was a great pit stop when my band played in town, and definitely more economical and tasty than hitting a greasy spoon for road snacks.

Wow, that is truly bizarre. Do they really do it to hardstyle techno, or was that just the maker of this video?
