B boy masters

Let's see how closely you guys are paying attention :) Who are these two and where was this competition held?

These guys are amazing! People seemed to love the B-Boy Junior vid, so I thought I'd throw up another video of guys battling it out for the bragging rights.



Man, makes me wish I could actually dance! Guess I'll stick to deejaying!

Ah, old skool!!

Ya, so this isn't exactly an electronic related item, but we always here old skool party kids (Ravers or just random people) talking about the "good ol' days". Everyone always talks about how good things used to be and how things are so different (And not in a good way) now days.

Well, enjoy the old skool!

Good track but a video not really worth watching...

Well, in our previous posting with the Pendulum video we talked about how many electronic music videos just seemed to be an after thought to the music. I thought I would provide an example of just such a video. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the song and I love the sentiment that the video is trying to get across, but for a major artist remix, this just doesn't seem to do the song justice... I could have slapped this together on my PC.

The track (In my opinion) is amazing... I love the remix (And I also like the original), but the video just seems to be a 30 second after thought ("Hey, let's put together a video and throw it up on the 'net and see what people think"). I'm not saying that the videos need to be a big $$ investment, but they need to be creative and well though out and this just doesn't seem to cut it.

Well, check the video out... It isn't a complete waste of time, after all, the track is awesome!

Scratch Master Netik - 2006 DMC Champion

A while back we brought you a video of some amazing break dancing... This got me thinking about life back in the day and I started to think about a club night where we had the pleasure of watching Q-Bert scratch it up for an hour or so. This quickly led to a search of youtube for some video of today's scratch masters.

This is a video of the 2006 DMC champion hard at work and man, is it ever inspiring.



If you're interested in more videos and the like from Netik, check out this page (YouTube search results).

OOOOOOH MAN!! Someone needs to bring this guy to a party

Wow! One of my favorite dance styles has always been break dancing. I love seeing breakers at clubs, parties, whatever... I don't see many out and about these days (Is that because there are fewer breakers, more club kids or am I just lame and staying home more?).

The guy in this video is SICK! If you're going to check one video out, check this one out!!! Man, this guys is amazing!!! Someone needs to seriously get this guy out to a party here! I'd love to see this guy throw down.

Anyways, enjoy the video (Courtesy of youtube.com). Oh, and this Frenchman's name is Junior.

A video you must watch!

You know, I rarely see electronic music videos... I just don't think many groups or producers have enough money to front the cash needed (Or the marketing to make it viable), but with the advent of YouTube I think we'll start to see more and more electronic music videos pop up.

Overall, I think the quality and entertainment of those that I have seen were pretty low... The music was definitely the driving force and the video always seemed an after thought. This Pendulum video definitely breaks the mold and I was laughing from beginning to end!

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Pendulum, but for those of you that aren't, you should really check out their drum n bass offering! The song "Slam" is a good example of their work, offering a hard bass line that just seems to keep my feet tapping. The whole CD is amazing, it is exactly the type of dnb that I love to listen to. Check it out if you get a chance!



Someone was kind enough to post the Pendulum - Slam video on YouTube and I think this is something that all of you guys need to watch!!! Check out the video and enjoy!
