DO IT! Norwegian Special!

******NORWAY special******** For one year we have been scouring the coasts of the UK for new unheralded talents while promoting local acts who we feel deserve a part in the future music/retro mash up and visual spectacle that is DO IT! While residents M.O.C., SIO, BEN and dj WHITE CHOCOLATE have held down the monthly cellar bar sessions, dj URAKI RIDDIM has been spreading his granite wings to the familiar yet relatively unknown land that is Norway. Reports have come back that our Norsk brothers really diggit - none more so than the current wave of talented indie/electronica/house producers and djs coming out of Bergen on the west coast of the country.  So please raise your glasses and put your hands up for one of this years most exciting Norwegian acts... PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR NEO-TOKYO live (Nabovarsel, Bergen)From one of Europe's coldest countries comes a warm fluoro duo who live to make sweet, society-saving electronic pop. Within the space of just a few months of airpla...

Mood of Collapse x 10 at Kekun Studio!

Its almost a month since the MoC x 10 show and I don't think I've had a minute to stop and think about it all. It  came about in a whirlwind and 9 days later it was over. Although we did have some late visitors who managed to get a look before the photos and artworks came down. It was a real pleasure for me to show artwork from such talented friends, most of whom I met through the blog and looking back through a decade of photos and videos really brought back some happy memories. But before getting into the show I really need to jump back to the start. So 10 years of writing about art and culture in little old, boring Aberdeen , the place where nothing cool ever happens and everyone's just sitting counting their money in granite castles.

'The Bestiary' by Phlegm at Howard Griffin Gallery!

Phelgm is the alias of Sheffield based graffiti artist ....... Phelgm? Ok so I don't know his real name and to be honest it doesn't really matter. What matter is that his work is incredible. What also matters is that I was told about his show and given directions by a member of staff at StolenSpace Gallery and although I took a couple of wrong turns when I finally found the derelict shop front and saw the work I was in awe! The first thing is the sheer volume of work on display. Floor to ceiling of painted jars containing all manner of mythical creatures, many of Phlegm's own signature characters but also a few guest appearance from some other big names in the graffiti / street art world. Your sucked down into this world of caged creatures, floating heads, amputated limbs and then you come out into a clearing, an open space where the characters and the animals are literally coming out of the walls! I don't think I've ever really seen a show like it, the paintings...
