I awoke at 5am by a stupid text message from my sister stating 'bloody beetroots are sic'. I assumed that this was a drunken rambling and shuffled back under the covers. Only recently, I decided that maybe this incoherent text was actually her raving about some new music she discovered whilst on her travels to Miami. Therefore, I decided to check out their Myspace.
Their electro-punk remixes are undoubtedly unique, with contributions on their forthcoming album from Peaches and Vicarious Bliss. This music is made with the intention to RAVE to.
Plus, the guy behind it all studied classical music (so you KNOW he's not some random scenster eager to please the teenagers to hear a random blippy sound), and he reads 1970s comic books. I'm already a dedicated fan.

J Smith Esquire.
J Smith is a brilliant bespoke milliner designer, with such a friendly and artistic character. His three design lines, include Dance with Me, Kaleidoscope and his current collection THREE.
Dance with Me is J Smith's first official Bespoke Millinery line and was great for AW08. With his innovative feather designs and the 20's and 30's inspired looks, they supply a vintage feel to his collection.
His latest line is much more commercial than Kaleidoscope though. 'THREE' involves a basic denim look while Kaleidoscope is a collection of individual hand-made pieces that ranged from pearlescent headpieces to origami headhands. Each of his design lines are entirely distinctive, all displaying his unique style in every piece.
I was lucky enough to experience his installation show at LFW 09, which included some quirky animal noises played in the background by Chris Watson (a specialist in natural history and documentary location sound).
Here are his following designs from his AW 09 collection, "THREE".

Behind the Seams.
Alistair Guy had the impressive idea of capturing the lives of women in the fashion industry by photographing their workspace and homes in the hectic build up to London Fashion Week 09.
Hannah Marshall is seen taking a cheeky pause from work in her studio obviously dressed head to toe in black and you can catch a glimpse of designer Ben Grimes smoking happily on a cigarette at her flat in East London.
From this exhibition, I cannot wait to discover how the fashionistas really are away from prying eyes!
BEHIND THE SEAMS. 17 April- 30 April @ Tapestry Gallery. 51-52 Frith Street.

Electro-douche.
Daito Manabe is a Japanese artist, creating a choreography of grimaces and twitches, by applying electrodes onto his face and harmonizing them to a homemade electro soundtrack.
Watch his crazy video art in the below link. Looks like the famous Cadbury's Dairy Milk Advert may have taken an idea or two from this talented young chap...
