Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.

Getting Old with Sonic Youth
I was born on March 26, 1979. I will be turning 30 this week and while others fret as they come up on that ripe age, I sit back and enjoy! Getting older just means getting radder! I mean watching all my role models still rock is just a promise that I will continue rocking despite the number I might happen to be. So don't let the man keep bringing you down. Instead rock n f-ing roll.
Smile now, die later!
Smile now, die later!
Random Got Beautiful
I came across Nikki Farquharson's blog Random Got Beautiful, and was drawn in by color! Nikki's mission was to create a space to take photos out of context and add them to a bigger idea and canvas. With this she creates a whole new concept. Through color combinations, she retells stories and creates various moods of attraction. Check it out here and see what inspires you!
Destiny's Young
I really can't tell you exactly when or where I first met Destiny, but I can tell you it was a miracle. Never in life have I met someone with such a great spirit. She always knows what to say and how to heal whatever is troubling you. She is magic!
Down With Hanna Montana
I forgot to tell you that I know Hanna Montana. She used to live in Humboldt and she has dreads now.
When You Have Time For the Beach House
I really really really love this Baltimore based duo. RAD!! They are the essence of where 60's psychedelic sound left off. A mix of the Mama Cass meets Roy Orbison. Check out their new creepy video. I totally love it!
ZAZA
If you could imagine holding hands with your lover and jumping on pillows of opium smoke then you will love ZAZA's new Ep, Cameo. Originally from the West coast, these Brooklyn based musicians create dream like sounds that gently ease you into melodies like beautiful sirens drawing you into infinity. ZAZA's new Ep is like drowning with a smile on your face. You can really hear and feel the passion that this duo has created.
Make ZAZA your new favorite band! Click here to listen to their awesome sounds and download their new Ep Cameo.
Enjoy!
Dj Katcha
Yo just was checking out my homie Yurgin's webpage and came across a rad drum n bass 2001 remix. Dj Katcha has some massive sounds! I got this info from her myspace page:
DJ Katcha is one of the prominent figures on the czech drum and bass scene and she has already been showing off her mixing skills for more than nine years. She regularly spins records at prestigious events as well as at the big music festivals. The list of top drum and bass DJs next to whom she has already been performing is really extensive. At random: Grooverider, Roni Size, Dillinja, Lemon D, Ed Rush, Andy C, Pendulum, High Contrast, J.Majik, Simon Bassline Smith, Nicky Blackmarket, Shy FX, MC Det, Dynamite MC, MC Jacob, Jumping Jack Frost, Aquasky, London Electricity, Teebee, Bad Company, Doc Scott and many others.
Another important point of fact showing her prominence on the Czech scene is that DJ Katcha has been sponsored by Carhartt Europe since 2001.
Now, Katcha is also working on producing her own music and plans to release her first tracks by the end of 2006. In 2004 she took part in the international Red Bull Music Academy workshop in Rome, and also in a DJ workshop in the Chinese capital city Peking in May 2006.
As a DJ she has also played in Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Israel, Russia, Italy and China.
Honestly, I am not the biggest drum n bass fan, but 2001 + girlies who rock always fit in with my style. Check out her 2001 remix here.
Pretty rad.
GOLDIELOCKS - UK!
I got this interview from Danny Johnson's blog Media Contender
Media Contender is a portal for brand management and artist development.
At Media Contender they make great efforts to introduce you to fresh new music across the globe. Eric Foster (Mr Boxed, pixelfactor) reached out to Goldielocks, the latest artist to come out of Croydon, a South London area that is known for the birth of Dubstep. Goldie has made a name in the UK underground not only as an mc, but her production skills are also heavily requested. Download the exclusive mini mix from Goldielocks made just for us.
Here is what Goldielocks had to say…
Mr Boxed:
Hey Goldie, let’s start out with asking what the word “Dubstep” means to you?
Goldielocks:
Beer, Spliffs, and Croydon
Mr Boxed:
The US club scene differs a lot from the UK scene, especially the London scene. What can someone expect these days from the underground club scene here in the UK if they have never been?
Goldielocks:
I would say its pretty cool without trying to hard. Obviously there are some people out there who only go out to check what everyone else is wearing but you usually find at the good nights that the people are more into the music. I run a night called ‘Hardknock Wife’ which started out as a way to showcase my own music but now it’s become more of a little scene. We have live grime, hip hop and other UK underground music, and then live DJs playing dubstep, garage, grime etc. It’s pretty sick, not to big myself up or anything ;)
Mr Boxed:
Could you explain when and how you started to produce/MC?
Goldielocks:
It started back when I was really young, I used to play music in primary school and do motown cover songs in assembly with my friends on the xylophone and shit, looking back it was well good considering I was about 7! Then I played the flute Drums, so I always had musical stuff going on but never knew how it was all going to fit together. Then I found this college called CM (www.cmsounds.com) and learnt how to make beats. Then I started doing vocals as a bit of a joke and people seemed to like it…god knows why!
Mr Boxed:
Your from South London. How do you think this has inspired you and your musical style / flow ?
Goldielocks:
I have a south London accent so I guess that affects how my music sounds, some people don’t like it but that’s how I speak. I often get compared to Janet Street Porter…cringe! Where I live inspires me to write about stuff, things I see, people I know etc.
Mr Boxed:
Your new record “Kids/ Drug-Dee-la” just dropped this month on the infamous Locked On label. How did that come about?
Goldielocks:
Well I signed my publishing to Puregroove, they are basically the same crew as 679 and the old garage label Locked On. When I signed to them they thought it might be cool to resurrect the label after like 10 years and put my stuff out, so we did.
Mr Boxed:
You have a collab coming out later this year with Benga aswell…tell us a bit about that.
Goldielocks:
Ha! You will have to ask him about that, we started a few bits but we’re both really busy so can never find time to finish them off! It will happen though, I promise.
Mr Boxed:
What are some of your musical influences?
Goldielocks:
Food, weed, alcohol, money, lack of money, love, Lee Scratch Perry, Dr Dre and Hall & Oates.
Mr Boxed:
Your current top 5 producers:
Goldielocks:
1) Dr Dre 2) Wiley 3) The Bug 4) Semothy Jones 5) Me
Mr Boxed:
Your current top 5 mc’s:
Goldielocks:
1) Giggs 2) Frisco 3) Random Impulse 4) Illaman 5) Jeeday Jawz
Mr Boxed:
Your current top 5 tunes:
Goldielocks:
1) The Game - Dope Boys 2) Paramore - Crush Crush Crush 3) Tinie Tempah - Tears 4) The Bug - Skeng 5) Time To Pretend - MGMT
Mr Boxed:
Thank you for taking the time to do the minimix and short interview with us. Any shouts to friends or the crew ?
Goldielocks:
Just all the people who reach Hardknock Wife every month and all the people who are buying my music. Kids / Drug Dee-la is out on iTunes now and 7inch vinyl on Sep 15th.
