Mixin’ a Movie

Addictive TV remix film trailers into dance tracks

Addictive TV have cleverly edited this trailor for Mark Wahlberg’s new film ‘Max Payne’ turning into it a dance track.

They have made quite a few of these edits, used as viral tools by the Hollywood studios to promote new films.

As well as Max Payne, they’ve worked on Kristin Scott-Thomas and Colin Firth’s new film, Easy Virtue, and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ from Trainspotting director Danny Boyle.

Carl Craig goes Classical

November 2nd, 2008 by Arianna Radji

Techno innovators met Classical musicians when Carl Craig teamed up with Les Siecles orchestre for a concert in Paris.

The event was organised by Frenchman Agoria for C2 to showcase his groundbreaking project.

The skills of pianist Francesco Tristiano and half of the legendary Basic Channel Moritz Von Oswald, were enlisted to supply the respective keys and rhythm sections.

The performance aired classical arrangements of hits from Craig’s back-catalogue, including ‘Darkness’, ‘At Les’ and ‘The Melody’, written with the youthful Tristiano.

Craig follows in the footsteps of Jeff Mills, Paul Oakenfold and Laurent Garnier as electronic artists to perform with a symphony orchestra.

Sexual Sportswear

Sebastien Teliier’s third studio album, Sexuality, was produced by Guy Manuel Homem-Christo (Daft Punk).  Whilst being available on CD and LP, the album has also been the source of inspiration in the fashion realm, and more particularly in one of my personal favourites, American Apparel.
In honour of Teliier’s lastest release, they are selling limited edition SexualiTs or SexualiTanks while supplies last.

What’s the Matter?

September 26th, 2008 by Arianna Radji

After two years of talks, designs and speculation, the secrets of the UK’s most anticipated nightclub in a decade are finally revealed!!

MATTER, inside the O2 areana (formally the Millenium Dome), is a multimillion pound, custom-built nightclub, designed, funded and managed by th masterminds behind Fabric.  MATTER is a three-floored club, with 2,600 capacity.  Its colloseum-like main room is surrounded by 2 floors of balconies overlooking the main stage.  Under the dance floor, a BodyKinetic system transmits bass frequencies via 80 transducers through the floor into your body, allowing you to actually feel the beats, as well as hearing them.  Eight projectors on robotic arms and a horizontal projection screen above the dancefloor reate a 360-degree immersive environment on the computer-ampped walls.

Upstairs, the 450-capacity room has LEDs set behind its sheet steel walls.  VIPs on the floor above get to walk over the crowds below the main dancefloor bia a sky bridge.  Their private booths have their own lighting and volume controls.

MATTER have developed a state-of-the-art cloakroom system which scans tickets so your coats will be waiting for you when you get to the front of the queue.  They have aso arranged a deal with Thames Clippers to baot people via the river to and from two drop offs, 15 mins away in central London.

The 24-hour license means opening hours are at the discretion of the venue, though I’ve heard that club nights will probably run until 8am.

The type of acts appear this month are: Carl Cox, Yousef, and Arno Cost, whilst John Digweed, Mark Ronson, Armand van Helden and some of the Ed Banger Crew will lead us into the next month…!!
