This song just popped into my head the other day and googling "de de de de" didn't help. Thankfully my sister got it straight off, and now its stuck in your head.

Greek Tragedy

New Material/ Threshold

Excerpt from Martyn's blog, he nails exactly how I feel about music (specifically electronic music) growing out of and in response to an environment. So on a trip to Berlin I could hear the deep techno and electro occupying the geometric empty spaces between the city blocks. Here's Martyn on London...

In the mid 90s, I trooped to London to experience what drum 'n bass was all about. We stayed with friends in the Peckham area and on one night we drove to the Leisure Lounge. It was raining the way it only rains in London, a sort of "half-rain" and it was late so the only people I saw in the streets were of the 24hour kind. There was a scent of samosas and I observed the multiple layers of the metropolis, the cheap shops on ground level, the billboards of major companies above it, and the expensive apartments and offices at the very top - in true Blade Runner style. Dillinja's "Threshold" played on the car stereo and for me this was a defining moment, these rainy melancholic chords and haunting voices combined with the aggressive beats and enormous bassline were the soundtrack to this city. The music describes the environment, and the person in that environment.

Dillinja: Threshold

Ps Saw Blade Runner Re-cut in cinema on Monday night in Dublin. The (large) auditorium was rammed at 6 in the evening. The film just gets better and better. The vangelis tune in the nightclub scene is so ahead of its time; big warm electronic dub sound. will find and post later..

Steve Dunn On Art Direction

Graham Fink's first words to me after many a moon were “ I see you’re still in advertising’ Truth is I’m not. I do it. I try to make it stimulating. When I started seeing ads in my head, 3d ads that I had no hope of committing to paper, especially given my limited technological capabilities, I gave it all up. I never went near art direction in the same way for five or so years.
I started wearing suits and talking about brand values. And presently, like all reforming addicts, I’m gradually taking every day as it comes. God knows, I still try to find value in it. But it should only ever be a small part of any creative life. Creative enrichment can be found in so many activities and places, so my final words of advice are: do advertising, but don’t let advertising do you.

Mmm, Pixels...

So good. The drumsticks and camera flash are lovely.
