Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

The clubbing capital cities

I found a new club music website which has some cool DJs and clubs streaming content 'live n direct'.

I loved listening to the Colette music and tuning into some clubs in Chicago on Friday night. I thought I'd found the ultimate worldwide clubbing guide and was kind of oddly satisfied that Los Angeles didn't make the grade. But then I noticed that Miami was also missing and Fabric in London was invisible too, so I think that the list is incomplete...oh, well. The quest continues...

Ed Banger @ Viper Room

Ed Banger Records is killing it. It was a gradual, but constant fixture in my head. First, I saw the t-shirts on the trendiest web retailer's update, aka We Sold Out...(I didn't buy...now they're ~$100+...damn!). Then I saw the fresh Justice D.A.N.C.E. video (sent to me by Alex in Oz I think). Next, the Busy P podcast mix rocked my Audi Bose stereo...oooh. And then Ja brought it on with an invite to Mr Oizo and Kutmah's session at the Viper Room.

The pressure has been building since last summer, leading to Justice getting a distribution deal with Canada's Vice Records. Seems the hype is bubbling over, but there's a lot of heritage behind these Frenchies. See the video clips below. I'm buying my Flat Eric on eBay now...!

Mr Oizo, Flat Eric *classique*


Kutmah at DubLab
