1-2-1 w/jeffstaple: Paul Mayhinney of Record-Rama (Video)



Via Hypebeast.

"In jeffstaple’s 14th part of the “1-2-1 w/jeffstaple” interview series, the founder and creative director of Staple Design and Reed Space finds Paul Mayhinney in an honest and casual chat about his deep love of music and endless racks of records. Paul Mayhinney is the founder and keeper of Record-Rama, the world’s largest record collection. Having begun his collection in the early 1950s, Mayhinney then started a business after amassing numerous thousands of records, and also commenced cataloging every passing record in a historically invaluable archive. This business thrived up until the turn of the millennium, when record prices lost almost all competitive leverage to CDs and MP3s. Record-Rama shut its doors in 2008 during the global credit crunch for lack of consumer or archival interest. While Mayhinney rues how technological advancements have combined to erode the value of his passion’s work, he diligently continues to seek fund-raising options and a worthy buyer here."

BONUS! Here's an interesting story about Paul helping launch David Bowie's career.

Benga "I Will Never Change" (Music Video)



Here are the latest visuals from Benga, from his forthcoming tune “I Will Never Change.” The stop motion-esque video makes use of 960 pieces of vinyl to create a straightforward and creative way to let the music speak for itself and create a mirrored image of the digital waveform.

“I Will Never Change” also serves as an official teaser for Benga’s forthcoming album Chapter 2, which is due out on Columbia later this year.

Directed by Us, the same guys behind Wiley's "Numbers In Action" music video.

Drake Feat. Lil Wayne "HYFR" (Music Video)



To be fair, this joint is actually quite dope.

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 1 (MIXTAPE)

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 1 (Teaser)



Apologies for the lack of posts recently - it's been a mad couple of weeks with gigs, rehearsals, and mixtape work for a few clients.

Anyhow, if you're familiar with the blog, and regularly read my ramblings on Twitter then you'll be aware that I'm in a DJ crew/unit called The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

For those not in the know, it's a crew made up of arguably the best DJs in the UK scene - Dixon Brothers, Bruce Wayne, CJ Beatz, Mr Vee, Risco, Cavalry, G2, Mikael Diaz, Stylus, Complexion and DJ Cable (myself, obviously).

This Friday (Good Friday no less) will mark the release of our first Mixtape – each DJ was given 5-6 minutes to do their thing, and the end result is pretty powerful I must say!

Make sure you check back on 6th April, and peep the rather nice video that Adrian Dixon put together in the meantime.
