Yo! Some of you might have already noticed the little picture on the top right - Rotaug's very own CLRCDD and Gandl have just finished the first full-length video of Vertual Vertigo's Sparkies Bungalow LP called Wowzers and it's definitely worth watching. Check it out! Props go out to Mosch @ DuzzDown, Ben & 8Bit @ blncty, Thaiman, ...

If you want an HD version, head over to the project page or watch it at YouTube directly.

And here's another one for 'ya:
In March of 1980 two young rappers from los angeles appeared on the "Chikara Kurahashi Hit Station" variety show in Tokyo. It was the first time rap music had ever been performed in Asia and here is the lost tape of that performance. (text taken from youtube)

But I ain't stopping yet: Since I managed to experience two wicked audio-visual performances at Jazz Café London last night by Cheeba (Solid Steel) and Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw) right after, both doing their Serato-Video thing (although PBW played 2 1/2 h straight with only one turntable due to technical *cough*serato*cough* difficulties), I thought I'd share these with you as well, although most of you will know them already since back in the days - anyways, brings back some good memories.

Long time no project I thought and got to renewing stuff you might already know and adding things you most definitely don't....

As you can see in the column above, I posted a project from 2008 called "Mode X", which is a 50 minute video installation playing with the concept of ripping the meaning from retro video games. Check it out here...

Also, I've finally updated the documentation of my 2007 gem "Yeah, Yeah, The Birds", an audio installation dealing with feedback and reflection in architectural space. Check it out here...

Last but not least, I've completed part of my photo series "This Is Tunnel Vision!", which, as the name already suggests deals with tunnel architecture and its decontextualisation. Part 2 here and Part 3 here...

Enjoy!

And don't forget to head out to Florido Independent Beach Today and Tomorrow for some action featuring Mr. Wisdom, Sweet Susie, Cut-ex, Lens J. and so forth....

We've been hard at work digesting the Release Tour of SOR002 Return of July / Blessed and are proud to present to you the first Live Cut of Rider Shafique's Son of Man over the Live production of myself, DJ Kompact. Enjoy as we enjoyed having this fabulous evening!

But that's not all, I've got a couple more news for y'all. Since 215 The Freshest Kidz are showing us Random Love on their Myspace Page, I guess we have to show some back and make you aware of their futuristic collaboration with Berlin based producer Robot Koch. Check it out HERE. There is even a free bonus track available for download HERE. Freshhhhhhh! Try to check back once in a while on our Releases section, since you will be hearing more of 215:TFK later this year on Sonido Ojo Rojo!

Last but not least, Icke&Er, originators of the infamous Richtig Geil, have their own website now and rumor has it that they are planning their comeback as we speak. Furthermore, they're commenting a little bit on the financial crisis in their own geil way, with a free download track called Finanzpolka. Get it HERE.

Blessed
