Gnarls Barkley – Listen today!

Gnarls Barkley are DJ Dangermouse (remember the grey album – most downloaded music in history) and singer Cee-Lo who just made history with the first UK number 1 hit that was based on online sales alone.

From today until sunday you can listen to their album “St Elsewhere” on their MySpace-site. Album release is the 5th of may. What a hype! But: Cool music: funky, techy, souly and defintely Stylewalker-approved.

Danger Mouse is a workaholic. In between he produced the Gorillaz-album and among others an album with MC Jemini. Listen to a legendary interview on Radio One.

Sven Väth is alive

Sven FäthFoto von Christian JakubaszekThe godfather of techno is in a good mood and his message is cristal clear:
“Gude Laune, Aldaaaaaaaaaaaaa..!”

Love, peace and crazyness, ecstasy and ayurveda..
Everybody who thought Sven Väth these days is only about vegan food and healthy lifestyle was obviously mistaken. Voll drauf, Alda!

Landsky P3P..with Martin Landsky in Brussels. Watch a video packed with clubfeeling. Deep, sexy, sweaty music and party impressions from P3P-club in Brussels.

The P3P-people have more movies and music on their, in my opinion, brilliantly designed page. It’s clean, it works, it’s stylish, it’s all there.

We need more club documentations! If you see any, tell me!

Barcelona Street ArtWhile looking for Pian&Hase on Google (because they failed to give me their press information.. artists – you need an agent!) I found Mr. Case.

Let math and design mingle

ButanglasanimationRicard Marxer Piñón is an artist who combines the mathematics of signal processing with the esthetics of font, fotos and sound. On a highly abstract level he e.g. uses reduced letters to create new shapes out of words.

The animation on the right side is a processed picture of burning gas in a glass. He is also working with the (to me, until now, unknown) programming language Processing I recommend his highly entertaining website ricardmarxer.com.

I got to now him about a common friend who is an astrophysicist. Oh, it’s nice when the worlds blend..

Guns for sale in GB?

Guns for saleDid you know, in england, they sell guns on TV? Here’s a the Teleshop that put the Movie Icon spot even online!

It seems funny, in the end it is rather sad. More guns than ever sold today. This viral campaign by Amnesty International UK wants to raise attention for an international arms trade treaty which should be initiated by the UN and signed by as many countries as possible.

More info about the viral campaign.

The Beastles

BeastlesThis might be not in the web for long: MP3 IconThe Beastles are mash-up remixes between the Beatles and the Beastie Boys. The producer is DJ BC, a DJ from Boston. He certainly got inspired by the “grey album”: a project of the now famous DJ Dangermouse who took the Beatles’s “White Album” and remixed it mash-up style with Jay-Z’s black album. The “Grey album” became the most downloaded piece of music ever and Dangermouse was eventually hired as a producer for the second Gorillaz album. The Beastles is not as good as the grey album, but has its charme. Actually, I like his crazy mix of Dee-Lite, The Doors, Salt’n’Pepa and Donna Summer more: MP3 IconGroovy Burnin’ Heart.

Blinkenlights documentation

Blinkenlights1One of the most amazing media installations ever was “Blinkenlights” in Berlin 2002. I just found the Movieicon documentation video via their podcast. You must watch it, it kicks you off your feet!

The hacker commmunity Chaos Computer Club (CCC) used the abandoned skyscraper “Haus des Lehrers” on Alexanderplatz to turn the windows facade into a gigantic monochromatic screen. Over 8 floors with 144 spot lights formed this huge interactive display that could be seen even hundreds of metres from above.

Open Logo and update

Open LogoBefore I upgrade to WordPress 2.0 I want to wite about a nice project of the very succesful company Spreadshirt. “You think it, we print it” is their claim, their strategy is to encourage people to build shops with their help and then sell products with their own designs, like all sorts of clothes, buttons or bags. The Spreadshirt community is diverse: Political activists, bands, celebrities and so on. Maybe I should start to sell stuff with the Stylewalker-Logo.. Would anybody buy this?
