Happy Friday Friends! Party on!

A sign of the DJ times... (Watch)

I've been DJ-ing, in some way shape or form since I was a wee lad.  I've since witnessed the art develop, grow, morph and technologically blow my mind - all of that at varying speeds and waves - over the course of time.  I remember when digital DJ-ing was in its infancy.  I also remember my take on it ("I will never switch over, never give up my vinyl).  While I never gave up my vinyl, I did end up switching over.  The biggest advantage I saw (early on) was being able to leave the (HEAVY) record box at home and how good it felt not to walk six flights with just a backpack.  I've not looked back, BUT this video taking us inside Swedish DJ duo, DADA LIFE's DJ Bag was a heavy reminder of just how far we've come.  FAR.  I am happy.

Take a look for yourself and keep watching for the vinyl/records.  Enjoy!

Bassnectar (Very Thoroughly) explains Dubstep in 3-min!

I found this brilliantly done, both visually (reminiscent of Google's style) and equally well broken down.  I am a big fan of the genres discussed here and felt obliged to share.  Please enjoy!

Swedish House Mafia vs. Knife Party - Antidote (Explicit)

Great video for a electro-house banger by the SHM boys along with Knife Party.  This one is beautifully cinematic.  Deserves a part two.

Film The Police (Ode to NWA)

There's not much that needs to be said about this one.  Poignant message.  Sign of the times.

B. DOLAN's "FILM THE POLICE" pays tribute to N.W.A.'s infamous "F*ck the Police," serving as a call to action for the digitized media movement while responding to the recent explosion of police brutality all across the world.

It features a reconstruction of Dr. Dre's original beat, brilliantly reanimated by UK producer BUDDY PEACE. Label CEO, SAGE FRANCIS, opens the song by picking up the gavel where Dr. Dre left it 23 years ago, introducing a blistering, true-to-style flip of Ice Cube's original verse by SFR cornerstone, B. Dolan. TOKI WRIGHT (Rhymesayers Entertainment) follows up by stepping into the shoes of MC Ren, penning the people's struggle against cops as a case of "Goliath Vs. a bigger giant." Finally, Jasiri X (Pittsburgh rapper/activist) rounds out the track by filling in for Eazy-E, reminding us that police brutality disproportionately affects poor people of color.
