++++N€W TRVP ØRD€R++++



Here's something new for you. Seeing as the latest wave of Trap tunes are taking influence from EDM, I decided to put this little DJ tool together for my sets. Anyone who's seen the first Blade movie will recognise the New Order sample.




Hope you dig it.

Mario - Post It Life (Video)



Just stumbled upon this great little piece, where Super Mario comes to life through the use of over 7,000 post it notes in this stop motion video, which also features a quick cameo from arcade legend Pac Man.

BONUS! Check out the behind the scenes footage here.

Datsik's Firepower Tour



Check this for a sneak preview of Datsik's Vortex Booth, which he'll be taking on tour over the next few months. With all the crazy production that's going into EDM shows these days, we're bound to see some next level stage shows.

More info on the booth itself here.

Spotted over at RockTheDub.

People Just Do Nothing: Noisey Freestyle (Video)



Apologies for the lack of posts over the weekend. I only just recently got back from DJ-ing in Corfu. It was hot, and I still didn't get a suntan, but I digress...

Anyhow, peep this hilarious freestyle with the geniuses behind BBC Three's People Just Do Nothing, which is a mockumentary about a fictional UK Garage-loving pirate radio station in London. 

You can peep their equally funny interview with Noisey HERE.

Big up Sniper & Beats.

AAPE by A Bathing Ape x Pepsi 2012 “MOONFACE CAMO” Cans






I didn't see this coming at all.... Bape & Pepsi have teamed together to produce a limited run of “MOONFACE LOGO” Camo cans.




This Hong Kong-only release will hit Circle K convenience stores on August 13 in the military camo, while select locations will carry the blue colorway beginning September 13.




Odds on they will be overly expensive!

Baauer plays "My Nose" Live in Chicago (Video)



I think I've reloaded this video about 10 times already....

Baauer is proving to be an unstoppable force with his recent productions, and with the Trap Music subgenre really starting to take off worldwide, it's safe to say we can expect big things to come over the next year from this kid.

Ewing Athletics 33 Hi



Now these look dope....

In 1989 Patrick Ewing became the first professional basketball player to offer his own brand with Ewing Athletics. Making his debut with the 33 Hi, this month brings it back with a re-launch in multiple colorways.




Featuring a classic reversible ankle strap, reinforced heel and full leather or suede upper, various other Ewing-related features include name and number as well. The 33 Hi will be released in limited quantities on 31st August for $100 at Kith Manhattan.




It's all about the white/blue/orange pair for me.

Style Of Eye feat Gina Turner - Ray Dee Oh



House Music heads will enjoy the latest release (particularly the AM mix) from Fools Gold Recs, which consists of three new dancefloor orientated tracks from Style Of Eye, featuring the chopped up vocals of Gina Turner (no relation to Tina).


  


For me, the standout tune on the EP is Norway, featuring Bessem, which is a great slice of chillout/end of the night vibes. Perfect to stick on your iPod whilst you're out and about in the sun too.


You can now purchase the release from Beatport.

Faded @ Rhythm Factory Tonight!




Before I head off at 3am on Friday morning to play at Pukkelpop in Belgium, and at Lowlands in Holland, I'll be spinning at Faded tonight, which will be at the Rhythm Factory.


I'll be DJ-ing from 1am - 2am, taking care of all things Trap/Hip Hop/Grime, with a little bit of UK Bass if the crowd is up for it too.

Ab-Soul - Nibiru



Produced by JMSN. Make sure you hit the TopDawgENT Soundcloud page for more great music, including links to purchase songs from iTunes, and for the odd free download too.

Being Bruce Wayne (Video)



No, it's not a fly on the wall documentary about Gotham's favourite billionaire, it's actually a promo video of my good friend DJ Bruce Wayne from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen rocking Proud Galleries in Camden, London.


I'm yet to party with Bruce & the Dixon Brothers on a Friday night, but I hear (and can see) that this place is proper lively!

Nike Air Force 180 High



Nike are set to re-release David Robinson's Air Force 180 High sneakers.

No doubt I'll be copping a pair or two.

Nardwuar vs. 2 Chainz & Nardwuar Vs. Juicy J



More bizarre (and comedic) interviews from man like Nardwuar.

LOL @ pulling out those stripper tunes from the 1960s.




Previously: Nardwuar Vs. El-P


Lupe Fiasco – Lamborghini Angels



The first single off Lupe's forthcoming Food & Liquor II.

Be warned though, there is some controversial material in this track.

Nike NSW x Coolrain “Dream Team” Figures



Korean toymaker and artist Coolrain pays homage to this year’s 2012 Dream Team with two series of action figures. featuring gold medal-winning athletes Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James.






Decked out in the Team USA jersey, with some realistic details such as neoprene sleeves and signature sneakers, there is also a series of lifestyle appropriations that were also created, featuring fashion-based NSW attire in black and white figure format.








No news on availability yet.

New Balance 2012 Fall 1300NG “Navy and Grey”



New Balance come correct with another release for the Autumn. This one features a slimmer toe box, as well as 3M reflective material on the heel.




Added to my ever-growing shopping list of sneakers.



Damien Hirst UK Flag @ 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony



I only watched a little bit of last night's closing ceremony, but was really impressed with the whole stage layout, including this Union Jack flag.

Pac Div - Bank




Pac Div drop their new single, which is about robbing a bank. Scoop DeVille comes through with stripped back, bass-heavy beat.




Taken from their forthcoming album GMB, which is due out October 16th.

FRONT Trainer Meltdown: The Bounce Test



Here's an interesting and "educational" video that lads' mag Front Magazine produced for their “Trainer Meltdown” feature in issue 167, testing the bounciness of different types of sneakers, with women in skimpy outfits.

Shouts to Soleheaven, who provided the much sought-after cement Jordan IV's, as well as the Supra Skytop III's.

Air Jordan VI & VII Retro “Golden Moments” Pack



If the Olympic VII's weren't enough, Jordan continues to churn out quality retros in the shape of the Golden Moments pack, which features both the Jordan VI and VII.

Available in a white/metallic gold and black/metallic gold colourway, the box features a gold Jumpman logo with “VI” and “VII” printed on either side.



They're scheduled to drop on the 18th August. I'm definitely copping these, if just to sit on for a couple of years.



Dream McLean - Network (Music Video)



It's been under wraps for a while that Dream McLean had signed to MTA Records. Finally the secret's out, and we're treated to his debut single Network, produced by label heads Chase & Status. The production on this is sick.

I'm glad to see someone from Essex...in fact....someone who only lives 5 minutes down the road from me get the shine they deserve. Rest assured you'll be hearing a lot more from Dream over the next year.

The track will be available for download soon, along with a remix by Chase & Status.

Sir Michael Rocks - Lap Of Lux Mixtape




Sir Michael Rocks from the Cool Kids releases his solo mixtape Lap Of Lux, which features the likes of Mac Miller, Casey Veggies and Rockie Fresh.


Download it HERE





BONUS! Here's the video for Now You Do (Prod. Flosstradamus)


Aaliyah Feat. Drake - Enough Said



Timbland should be the one exec-producing Aaliyah's posthumous album, not Drake. The only thing worth giving credit to is Noah "40" Shebib's production. If there's a Drake-less version floating around, please let me know.




Sorry kids, but it wouldn't be a proper Aaliyah record without Timbaland and Missy Elliott at the helm. Enough said.

Batman “Dark Knightfall” Stop Motion Video



Hong Kong-based directors Derek Kwok and Henri Wong (of Parabucks Co.) recently produced a stop-motion animation as a tribute the two most popular villains in the Dark Knight Trilogy: The Joker and Bane. They created the film using the detailed Hot Toys action figures.

Weird ending, but fun to watch nevertheless.

LUDWIG VAN x Quintin “Tour de Force” 6 panel caps




It's all about the mint green hat.

Glow-in-the-Dark Skatepark in Brussels, Belgium



This looks nuts!

Designed by Korean artist Koo Jeong-A, OTRO (the name of the park) was built from green, phosphorescent concrete which glows at night.

Durag Dynasty – The World’s Most Dangerous



Taken from the album 360 Waves, the upcoming debut from Durag Dynasty (Planet Asia, Killer Ben, and Tristate). The album will be produced entirely by The Alchemist

Sound promising.


Rick Ross Feat. Dr. Dre & Jay-Z - 3 Kings



Definitely getting a lot of spins from myself at the moment.
