Street Art in Music Videos: Shepard Fairey's Work Featured in "Money" by N.A.S.A.

Graffiti and hip-hop have long had close ties, but the selection of Shepard Fairey’s street art in the “Money” music video for N.A.S.A. gives this pairing a decidedly highbrow edge.

We’ve covered a wide variety of Shepard Fairey’s work at LoveThatTune. As you’ll recall, he was the artist that designed the infamous Obama “Hope” posters and “Obey” guerrilla campaign. The music video for N.A.S.A.’s “Money” uses Shepard Fairey’s work throughout.

N.A.S.A. is a collaboration between Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon; the acronym stands for “North America, South America.” Other artists featured in “Money” include David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, and Z-Trip, according to Chunnel. The video was directed by Syd Garon and Paul Griswold.

Love That Hoodie: House of Bendie bespoke, hand crafted hoodies

House of Bendie is a UK clothing line, run by 2 ex-philosophisers Tom and Dan, that takes classic, British suiting fabrics and creates unsuit-like clothes for men and women . They specialise in bespoke hoodies: hand-made, made-to-measure, hooded jackets crafted from exquisite suit materials. There are 30 odd outer and inner linings to choose from. All of which are pretty special. There is also the special feeling you get, knowing that No-one else out there has got your hoodie. It's a good feeling. Trust me.

Each jacket has pockets made from the lining fabric, within which there is a personalised label. I opted for a wool/cashmere outer and a paisley inner. It all looks awesome, especially the pockets which look completely amazing. Definitely worth a purchase if you got £170 odd quid to spare.

There would be a picture of the one purchased but its seems it might have been lost in during travel. Great!

Check out the House of Bendie !

Nudism to Promote Drinks (Pepsi)
This is a raunchy but fun print ad promoting Pepsi Raw, a drink created by PepsiCo made of natural ingredients such as apple extract, plain caramel, acacia trees, sprinkling water, and other natural ingredients.

This ad, which is called “Pepsi Raw: In the Raw,” plays off the concept that getting naked is natural and so are the ingredients in Pepsi Raw.

The print ad campaign was created by advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, UK.

Some great images that work. Very refreshing to see someone like Pepsi doing some creative with an edge ... Love It!

Glade festival needs a new home
This year Glade won Best Dance Festival at the UK Festival Awards, and around 10,000 “dance music and free spirit aficionados” attended the event, with performers that included Pendulum, Noisia, Drumattic Twins, Cassette Boy and DJ Rubbish.

The organisers behind the UK’s dance festival Glade are currently scouring the country in search of a new home for their 2009 event, which they hope to run from 16th-19th July.

Nick Ladd, Glade Festival’s chief said, “Wasing has been a great home for us for our first five years, but as part of the natural evolution of Glade we have decided to find another beautiful bit of England, in particular somewhere where we can run it later on all nights including Sunday, and make some proper noise!”. Thank fuck for that. How you can have a dance festival ending at 4 0'clock I'lll never know?!

It’s hard to describe Glade in one punch, but an electronic music version of Glastonbury might fit.

Bring on a Somerset or beachside location! Lovethattune would love that!

mp3: Skream delivers 30 min track for Nike (plus Essential Mix)
British dubstep producer Skream is the latest dance artist to have been tapped by Nike for a 30 minute track for their ‘run’ mix series.

Skream follows a long line of electronic music producers who have been asked by Nike to produce 30 minute workout pieces to help market their Nike Sport Music campaign including LCD Soundsystem, Cassius, The Crystal Method and Simian Mobile Disco.

Skream was the first name to come to me in regards to the dubstep movement, which seemed to emerge from the grime scene but most people seem to see it as another splinter of the UK garage scene of the early part of this decade. Whatever, it's one of the most exciting things going today, its sparse rhythms, massive bass and dark vibe fit today's world a lot better than most of the stuff I put up (and LOVE!). Skream, amazingly, is only 21-year old, based in the Croydon area of South London, who has been producing tracks since he was a teenager. He found himself working at the Big Apple Records shop, which was an early epicenter of dubstep. We'll have more to say about him as we put up some of his tracks, but for now, it seems important to note that Skream was perhaps the first to bring a melodic sense to the genre in 2005 and 2006, while maintaing its distinctive syncopated rhythms and dark basslines.

You get a great chance to hear this on the 2-hour mix he did for Pete Tong's radio show. Amazingly, dude almost exclusively uses tracks by himself or his mix of someone else's song, as he clearly does not lack for confidence. Why shouldn't he, though, if he's responsible for so many excellent tunes? A few quick observations, before you download - I had never realized how much dancehall/reggae influenced and overlapped with dubstep, it's one of the few genres that works just as well without vocals as with and the basslines, oh the basslines you will hear. More to come on this front, this is a good intro if you'd like to jump in and a really great mix for those of you who've been following this scene closely.

Check out Skreams Radio 1 Essential Mix here!

mp3: MeNeO
Barcelona electropical duo MeNeO combine reggaeton and electro-dancehall beats with live gameboy melodies. Rigo Pex brings the beats while VJ Fruity Booty provides the visuals and they’ve been playing naked (and getting the crowd naked) for a while now around Europe’s underground. There’s an album on the way called ‘Salta Nanga’ in which the duo’s inner video game nerd meets some booty dance and it’s been mastered by the guys at Mad Decent. Genius.

mp3: meneo - mami.
mp3: meneo - licuadora.
