Beautiful.
Probably NSFW without headphones, this short film about a jack-the-lad named Jela, is definitely worth a watch. Beautifully shot and utterly compelling, it paints an honest portrait of London’s East End.
It’s not all bagels, popup shops and media startups you know!
Will Robson-Scott is an exceptional talent, and I have been a fan of his work for a while – featuring his film about the batshit crazy photographer Ricky Powell on this very blog.
In my opinion, Jela is Will’s best work to date. Agree?
Late afternoon, early evening, exactly 16.45 on a Saturday vibe…
“Too old to be new, too old to be classic.”
Well, @RBMA have only gone and made yet another on-the-pulse film. This time the Red Bull Music Academy explore the story of DFA Records – the independent label that’s celebrating its 12-year anniversary this year.
Founded in 2001 by Tim Goldsworthy, Jonathan Galkin and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Death From Above not only helped spawn a fresh generation of night owls (or, as cited in the film, “dorky white kids”). But has been home to some seriously infectious records, including gems from the likes of Holy Ghost!, The Rapture and, my personal favourite, The Juan Maclean, all of whom feature in this 13-minute doc.
This really is a must see, whether you’re a fan of the label, an all round music nut or just someone who fancies running the time until the weekend begins with a great, and fairly LOL inducing, film.

On Friday, I’m flying to Berlin with my girlfriend. I’ve visited the city a couple of times and it’s pretty fair to say that it’s a place that has helped shape my taste in music.
This film from Resident Advisor perfectly illustrates the forward-thinking musical heritage of this great city.
Here’s the ever-so-wavy visual accompaniment to Mount Kimbie’s atmospheric builder, Made To Stray (available to download for nowt here).
Dom and Kai’s sophomore album ‘Cold Spring Fault Less Youth’ is out 27th May on Warp Records. That, if this single anything to go by, looks set to be a great record.
Could it be better than Crooks & Lovers?
“There’s a reason why I’ve never worn a tie, there’s a reason why I listen to that album at least once a week.”
Who wants it?
