Heard he is coming to OZ/NZ later this year so a bit of a heads up for those that might not be familiar with what he does.

DJ Baku (Bio lifted from Hearjapan.com)

“An ever prolific indie/alternative DJ and track-maker, DJ BAKU’s foundation is Hip Hop with a healthy dose of turntablism. His highly-acclaimed mix series released on his own label, DIS-DEFENSE DISC, has become something of a collector’s item. In June 2006, he released his long-awaited first album, “SPINHEDDZ” on POPGROUP Recordings, which reached No. 1 on the Tower Records Indie chart. Later in the same year, he performed with D-Style, Kid Koala and Q-Bert. In December that year, DJ BAKU joined forces with the legendary Guitar Wolf, releasing the single, “ULTRA CROSS Vol. 3”, on Sony Music. In 2007, BAKU embarked on a new project, assuming the alias, “Noizd Phank”, incorporating a variety of artists like Bug (ex Techno Animal) to do remixes.
Lastly, in 2008 will see the release of DJ BAKU’s second album, “Dharma Dance”. Along with his forte, sampling, BAKU has introduced the usage of guitar, bass, drums, and Chinese stringed instruments like the er hu, as well as a diverse range other natural/acoustic instruments in his new album”

Spin Headz is somewhat of a masterpiece:

and his second recently released album “Dharma Dance” is a lot rockier but has some fine tunes no doubt.

My man Meat Katie smashed Brown Alley here in Melbourne last night. Thanks to you, I’ve got the worst hangover known to man, I’ve locked my girlfriend out of the house for 2 hours while I was passed out, I’m on my first meal in 24 hours, I’m also on my second bottle of red in as many minutes and things are looking up for a lazy Saturday night.

Meat Katie, thanks for a rocking show! Enjoy the T.

That’s right, get them here.

Red Bulls policy of fostering development of the arts while keeping a low, low profile means that they are one of the  most overlooked contributors to the development of Australia’s arts culture.

But with amazing projects such as the Red Bull Music Academy launching the careers of the likes of Flying Lotus and countless others, the BCONE events as well as Red Bulls support of the local arts community, over the years RB has build up a strong family of artists and designers.

In order to promote these artists to other members of the RB community, on the sly as always RB has launched Bulls Eye. A series of remixed logo’s by artists adorning the monthly slabs sent out to the friends of Red Bull as well as bio information a about the artists, this project is aimed at bringing the far corners of the RB creative community a little closer while spreading the word about the talent brewing in Australia.

The end result is 5 dope remixes of the Red bull logo by the likes of;

Bonsia

Timba Smits

We’ll find out, soon enough… hold tight.

Since the debut of his short movie, Blu’s been keeping his good self nice and busy with a series of pieces around Europe, these are taken from his blog.

To me this is the epitome of street art, large as physically possible, commentary that falls under the category of “pisstake”  instead of “political”, unique style with a strong emphasis on interacting with the environment. Putting the check list away the main point is that its really mad, so enjoy.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, check his blog out for more, as well a before shots of each site which adds allot to the experience.

The artist known as  “Ignore Por Favor ” , which means ” Ignore it please”,  created a new serie of paintings called “Privacy Invasion – Orkut Victims”, consisting in taking photos from friends on his orkut network and painting them with spray on canvas, with such an incredible quality and realism that I have no words to describe, see it for yourselves !!!

Like that wouldn´t be enough he also produced videos of the whole process, each one with a different and great soundtrack, complementing and making even more beautiful his masterpieces.

This is one of my favorites, he painted a very talented artist and personnal friend, Yusk.

Watch Yusk´s video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN1NFHna5o4

The original photo so you can see what I´m talking about.

All the works and videos from this serie on my new blog !

I also like to show you his previous works from the serie called  “Essential Light”, he painted photos took on our chaotic traffic and turned into amazing artworks.

I went to see this one, live, the other day and I still couldn´t believe my own eyes !

Keep it REAL like THAT !
