Amazing Super Powers

Tiger Woods 09 - Glitch or God?

American pro golfer Tiger Woods was unstoppable until his knee surgery. His near God-like ability allows him to win championship after championship. The newest release of his video game Tiger Woods 09 projects his abilities a little too dramatically, which some players called a glitch. Electronic Arts, the maker of the game, insits it kept the accuracies of Tiger's play intune with his pre-surgery performance.

You be the judge,

Daft Punk @ Coachella 06

The comeback set in electronic music. If you haven't pumped in on your 52" plasma yet, GOOGLE and download a quality version.

For those of you who can't wait you can catch pretty good quality, but small footage at URB. And it is the full 60 minutes too!

NO WAY DUDE!

One of those 'you gotta watch it' and 'omg!WTF!!!' videos.

Safe for work. Not safe to be pulled in a tube behind a truck in the flooded streets of Florida.

Simian Show

Ended up in talk over Simian Mobile Disco vs Gossip and on my rounds of comparing live performances a neat little goodie popped up. Hear and watch Simian Mobile Disco talk about their live road gear. Lots of distortion effects and some very powerful and fun equiptment. Especially love the wire and plug boxes with the numerous inputs and loops.

See how it all comes together with a video performing It's the Beat live at a Seattle radio station KEXP.

Santogold

About time people started appreciating a true independent. Born in Philly, currently housed in Brookyln, Santi White's moniker Santogold has been touring relentlessly in Europe this summer (including losing her voice and cancelling dates several times in the process.) Also known for her bad outfits and direct sense of humour, it is her voice and live performances that have been solidifying her success. Her self-titled debut album released to acclaim in April following months of leaks of unmastered and incomplete tracks.

A great track complete with video:

Santogold - L.E.S Artistes


“They have this stupid alternate-side parking rule, so four days a week I have to get up at 8:45 AM and find another parking spot,” groans White, as she lounges wearily on a hotel couch. “So I roll out with a scarf, huge glasses, the worst random outfit, seriously whatever’s on my floor, then I go outside and move my car. No-one used to care, they’d be like, ‘Oh, it’s just another crackhead.’ But lately I’ve been hearing stuff like, ‘Oh, my friend says he’s your neighbor.’ I mean, I have a neighbor? So they’ve been watching me do this and thinking, ‘There goes Santogold,’ every morning.”
URB - Santogold: Silver & Gold :: The ups and downs of bad outfits and worse parking spots

Explicit genre bending proves Santogold is more than a voice behind a good beat. She is an artist capable of adapting and approaching many areas. And still, working with good friends Diplo and Switch, her good beats are not far to find.

Could'a Been a Crack Head

House Arrest Con Back In Jail After Unbelievable Rule-Breaking Crime Spree

Wednesday August 20, 2008
CityNews.ca Staff
A Waterloo, Ontario man is back in jail after somehow managing to violate just about every single provision of his release conditions.

The unnamed felon had previously been convicted of drunk driving when cops collared him in 2007 for weapons possession. He got nine months for the offence but the court had mercy on him and allowed him to serve that sentence under house arrest.

He seemed to be doing O.K. but gradually began taking drugs and drinking again while serving his time.

The lid of this boiling pot finally blew on July 30th, when he allegedly went on the kind of inebriated crime bender that broke just about every rule in the book - and perhaps a few that aren't actually in there.

Cops caught up to him that night driving his pickup drunk, stoned on crack, and stark naked in the front seat. But that's not all. He was also caught masturbating beside an equally naked prostitute. And he was speeding, going so fast that he wound up smashing into a parked car.

Witnesses say he grabbed his clothes after the accident and tried to get dressed while at the same time running away in his inebriated state, leaving his unclad companion in the truck behind him.

Needless to say, he didn't get far.

It won't surprise you to hear his freedom has been revoked again, and he'll serve four months for his latest misbehaviour - but this time in a real jail cell.

Reprazent

On a kick of Roni Size, a Bristol-born producer and DJ known around the world for his creation of the renound Reprazent Drum and Dass collective. The performance truly brought the heads of popular Hip Hop and D'NB together, with the likes of Rahzel, and Method Man interpretting sped-up Hip Hop beats and samples and elements of Drum and Bass.


Of course the legendary Brown Paper Bag


And a track I have on vinyl,

FUEL POSTPONED

FUEL for August 23rd has been cancelled/postponed due to personal injury to the promoter.

We hope to bring as big a line up during the school year as we strongly agree that sharing great music with great people is the key to our success, and to the success of the nite.

However, not being able to walk, work, or move down/up stairs has severely hindered my ability to wrap this party into the package it, and you deserve.

Sincere appologies for those who have been waiting long and hard for this event.

Groove Garcia

Dj, musician & producer


Groove Garcia ventured into the world of music with his first piano lesson at the tender age of 4. Solfeo, piano, harmony and composition were the classes that occupied his time as a child and have been a fundamental part of his life ever since.

The foundations for a musical carrier were laid with him dedicating many hours to music theory it was now up to him in which direction he should focus his talent. Groove stumbled across electronic music a few years ago. As a new comer on the electronic music scene he was embraced and with his fresh insight and sound. Labels such as Sushi Productions, Nitro and Cassagrande jumped on the chance to release his material. You may have heard his name from his releases on Cassagrande called "Spanish Guitar" which has been the labels biggest releases to date selling over 4000 vinyl units and featured on numerous compilations.

In 2006 Groove GarcĂ­a found working with labels very frustrating and decided to establish his own called Khazuma Recordings. The label has emerged as one of Spain’s most respected underground labels. Khazuma has gained recognition and support from some of the world’s major players.

We must not forget to mention his remixes for artists such as Matthew Dekey “The Deep Show” on Electronic Elements which allowed him to demonstrate him musical talent and add an edgy groove to create a classic remix.

On the decks Groove is an energetic and forceful figure. A very mature sounding Dj for his years and has demonstrated in his sets a very elegant style, which mixes the fundamentals of house with deep minimal grooves.

He has recently been featured in the top ten list at number 9 in the very respected Spanish Deejay Mags listing. Spain’s best kept secret to date.
