.: Video - Plan B - ill Manors

Apologies if this old news but it's new to me.
Not the London Riots, but this clip explains more than those lip-flapping media c*nts could manage in the days following the LDN Uprising.

.: LHF - Akashic Visions

Just looked in on Blackdown, [It's been one of my favourite blogs for a while now],
and this track and video instantly grabbed me, and I had to post.
It has a Detroit/to/London/via/Afghanistanfransico atmosphere that resonates across 20 years of culture [that I have witnessed], whilst sounding like the future.
Oh yeah, ..and then the beat drops.

 "Akashic Visions" is a cut taken from the forthcoming LHF début and double album,
 "Keepers of the Light" on Keysound Recordings. |   Video Directed by the mighty Skely Tor, a true Light Keeper.

Available as 2xCD with exclusive sleeve notes and artwork and as digital on April 2nd (2012).

.: Until AM - Soundcloud Dj Interface

If you like Soundcloud -  you need to check this out.

Yes. Now! [link]..

Until.AM is the brain child of two Helsinki based developers / music lovers Aaro Väänänen and Tuomas Karhu.
It is still in the early beta stage - and lacks a cue monitor or nudge buttons, but it is very fun to play around with and it works well, even if beatmixing is a challenge.
Simple but effective, Until.AM looks like a very promising project, all in all.
The application is cloud-based.& it runs in your browser [it can also play files from your HDD].
There is nothing to install, and you don't even need to log into Soundcloud.
Just click this link...
Mix.Until.Am
Too easy, 

Now you're a Dj

...and so is your Nan.

Tip: If you want to find all your uploaded Soundcloud tracks easily, search your "user name" in quotation marks.

Call me out of touch, but I just heard Death Grips for the first time.

.: YouTube 'hacks'.

Ok - Not really hacks, as much as URLs that utilise youtube in a novel way.

SHOW ME x NON-STOP - This URL allows you to type in a search term and you will be streamed nonstop fullscreen clips. Good for party visuals, stitching up co-workers and wasting your download quota.

Network Awesome - A kind of retro web-channel, lovingly curated from the well stocked bowels of youtube. Presenting 6 hours of thought provoking and eyeopening footage everyday, along with original reviews and companion articles. Network Awesome also has an impressive archive of obscure and esoteric video gems.

Create Your Own Mixtape This site is a kind of advertisment (for some movie called  'Submarine') - however, it's also a very good idea. It lets you compile a mixtape from any youtube clip and share the result. Because, youtube is now the easiest place to find obscure recordings on the internet, obviously...

TWOYOUTUBEVIDEOSANDAMOTHERFUCKINGCROSSFADER.COM - This may be the best website ever made.

.: JDilla - Last Donut [On eternal rotation]

J Dilla's "Last Donut of the Night" was originally released on Donuts, the last album he finished in his lifetime. Donuts was released February 6, 2006, three days before he passed away.

Some YouTube comments:

Dilla R.I.P. you changed my life :)

 who else got chills?

 This album is amazin'!! - I've never heard anythin' quite like it before. I dunno if it was because he was on his deathbed which gave him the superb inspiration but he managed to convey a story to his listeners just through beats!!! Beautiful Soul!!! Peace!!

 I couldnt imagine anyone's final goodbye being more beautiful or heartfelt. Dilla forever!

 J Dilla (Last Donut of the Night) is a thing of true beauty, unspoiled perfection installed within an instrumental

 if you dont know jdilla you dont know hip hop

 What is the shape of a donut, homie?

J Dilla made you feel things that you didn't know you could

 i could listen to this for years.

This is one of the most personal and greatest records that has ever been made. Produced whilst he knew he was going to die. You can hear both his pride in what he has achieved and the sadness that he has to leave this world. "Young man went out and made a name for himself." An autobiographical sample, and eerie because it's like he's imagining what'll be said at his own funeral . Then the track ends abruptly, just like his life.
