The NuFunk sound of Nu Dance Music that NuClubbers like

What's all this NuFunk about then?

Its the new sound of breakbeat and I loves it. Artists like A-Skillz, Featurecast and Def-Cut are churning out funky, hip-hop/funk influenced breaks which are slaying parties, clubs and festivals all over the world.

The cool thing is many of the tunes use recognisable hooks, raps and samples, so it really gets the crowd grooving.

Its like breaks, but less ravey and more lady-friendly, and that's a good thing. :)

I will be playing a gig in Brixton Jamm shortly (as B-Roll), details and sample mix to follow later, but in the meantime enjoy this superb promo mix from Featurecast.

Trust me and listen to it. It's the shit.

Iron Man 2? Nowhere near as cool as IRONING MAN!!!

Crysis 2 "The Wall" trailer

This new trailer for Crysis 2 has been doing the rounds for a few weeks now, but it is still an excellent piece of work and worth a look. The whole clip was rendered using Crytek's latest iteration of the CryEngine, and demonstrates the in-game graphical fidelity we can expect from Crysis 2 when it releases towards the end of 2010. The game will be available for Xbox360, PS3, and PC, and is sure to challenge Halo:Reach and Call of Duty for next-gen gamers' attention and cash.

Google Chrome Speed Tests

Filmed on super high-speed Phantom cameras, this Google Chrome promo aims to show that the browser is pretty much the fastest thing you could ever imagine. Pitted against a rocket-powered potato, a keytar and Tesla coil-induced lightning it certainly looks like it could be.

His and hers "laserwear"

After seeing Daft Punk live a few years back and their movie Electroma, I have really wanted my own robot helmet and flashing racing suit. Add to that a love of the original Tron film and huge excitement for Tron: Legacy. Motherboard TV introduces us to Janet Hansen of Enlighted Designs, who is the genius behind Kanye West's light shades and Daft Punk's Alive Tour suits. I have all my fingers crossed for a retro-futurist fashion revolution!

Adidas Originals get it right

We are big fans of clothing with stripes, especially those with three of them. These Adidas Originals commercials are achingly cool, their parties look awesome, and the Pilooski remix tracks just finish everything off to perfection.
