The SNOB is Back!!!

Snob is doing his Farewell Monkey Tour at the moment and is dropping back into Empire after his show to do an after-party!!! He may be "Snob" by name but to be real... Sean Raye (Snob Scrilla's real name) is doing ALL he can about using his fame to bring it back to those less fortunate... With his lyrics entrenched with meaningful undertones, when you actually listening to his work, you get the real Sean Raye and find out what his alter-ego, "Snob Scrilla" is really about....

I'm gonna throw down a couple of clips; First up is his Clip for "Chasing Ghosts", well.. It really isn't but what Snob Scrilla did was let the gang from the Charity "Youth Off The Streets" fill the song with footage... Followed by when he went back to the group to show them the clip...
The "Chasing Ghosts" Clip starts off with this;

This is not the video clip for "Chasing Ghosts".

There isn't one.

Snob gave the scrilla to
Youth off the Streets - www.youthoffthestreets.com.au
and shot this with the youth from Mac Fields and Airds.

Thanks to everyone who was involved
- the volunteers, the Bboys who came down, the band -
and thanks for making this clip super rad.






Thought I'd also throw down a clip of my favourite Snob Scrilla track, "Heartbreak Scorsese"
PLUS
below is a remix by AWESOME "Up & Comer" Blaze Tripp




Snob Scrilla - Heartbreak Scorsese (Blaze Tripp Remix) - Get IT!!

Stereosonic '09 - Feelin' The Buzz IN THE AIR!!

Thought I'd take the time to plug something fucking AWESOME (Even if you'd prefer your Bloody Beetroots than the Fedde Le Grands).... Stereosonic is coming up fast with tixx available from the 20th of August and with headliners from Deadmau5 & John Dahlback to Crookers & Surkin, its OK if you jump around screaming like a little bitch fellas....

Dudes and Dudets... I give you...
Swidish House Mafia
Comprised of 3 MASSIVE DJs - Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell who is playing at this years Stereosonic. With honorary members like Eric Prydz and Laidback Luke (only because, according to their passports, their place of residence is not in Sweden - which i think is great) the Swedish House Mafia have their own club night in Ibiza and Tour under the SHM bannerall over the world.

But, and this is whats Fucking AWESOME, when they're in Ibiza for the full summer of parties they invite DJs from all over the world to collaborate on anything and everything. Last summer the gang from TV Rock (Whom Goodwill is long time friends of the Mafia) got together to work on a track that is worthy of awesomness!! It features at the end of the Mafia's "Dark Forest Opening" in Ibiza video.... Watch and Enjoy!!

This year's Stereosonic sees a star-studded line-up with further additions to be announced in the coming months. From Canadian mouse and all-round live festival favourite Deadmau5, to Sweden's seminal hit machine Axwell, Stereosonic this year presents its biggest lineup to date. Holland's Fedde Le Grand returns after a massive 40,000 people headline performance at Sensation to launch his new album ‘Output’ and new show, whilst Axwell's fellow Swede John Dahlbäck finally makes it to Australia after years of topping club charts with remixes and dancefloor anthems. From Italy, the kings of modern dance-punk and nu-rave The Bloody Beetroots return to Oz for a killer new show after a national sell-out ‘Outrage’ tour in June this year. Touted as the new Justice, be prepared to witness the chaos, mayhem and all-round madness that is taking Australia by storm. Fellow Ferrari fans The Crookers return to Stereosonic for their second year running, showing the nation why they are one of the buzz acts of 2009.

Miss Kittin & The Hacker who’s new album ‘Two’ has been already hailed a classic, hits Stereosonic for their first live shows in years in Australia. Minimal master Marco Carola makes his eagerly awaited return to Australia showcasing his amazing sounds and technical brilliance that has made him a festival favourite the world over. France brings us wonderkid Surkin, one of the youngest kids in the business whilst London's Chicane who's massive hits ‘Saltwater’ and ‘No Ordinary Morning’ perform on the main-stage. With a classic album ‘Polyfolk Dance’ on the UK's legendary electronic/indie label Warp Records, Hudson Mohawke cuts it up and shows us exactly what all the fuss is about...

German horror movie fan and electro wizard Zombie Nation presents his latest material including delights from his already cult classic ‘Zombielicious’ album that has been getting a hammering from the likes of Sven Vath, Luciano, Richie Hawtin and more. For the first time in Australia Stereosonic is proud to announce the performance of one of Germany’s best exports: Alter Ego, that have been making techno and electronic dancefloor monsters for almost 15 years and who's live shows need to be seen to be believed. Slovenia's Umek joins the bill whilst Stereosonic debuts Australian performances for buzz acts Drop The Lime and Renaissance Man.

Juan Kidd aka Jason Herd who’s current hit ‘Now You’re Gone’ stormed the charts recently showed he's a force to be reckoned with worldwide. Australia’s Cut Copy programs the band stage with supports from Tim Sweeney from the UK's cult DFA outfit, Grafton Primary, the UK's uber group Kidda, Canyons, Knightlife and Bag Raiders, with more to come. Los Angeles based celeb photographer-blogger The Cobra Snake joins us for the second year running to document the event picture stylee - Awesome.

Local onelove faves Grant Smillie, Acid Jacks and the loving Andy Murphy return nationally to rock the socks for the locals, alongside further acts to be revealed over the coming months, so stay tuned.

Ministry of Sound Mashed 5 ft Miami Horror & Beni

THE CD

This 2CD set is an off-beat, unpredictable and at times down-right bizarre collection of indie-electro-pop-marvels. Genre, style and era are bent, crushed, melted, disassembled, and finally welded back together to bring you a track-listing that is as unlikely as it is faultless.

Once you’ve worn your headphones down to frayed metal threads, make sure you check out the Mashed National Tour as it brings complete mayhem to clubs across the country. With Beni, Miami Horror, and their many guests and friends, things will quite simply never be the same again.

FEATURED on the CD - In Flagranti, David Bowie, La Roux, The Juan Maclean, Bag Raiders, MEN, Yuksek Amanda Blank, Little Boots, Lost Valentinos, NASA, Phoenix, Tiga, Digitalism, Jesse Rose, Classixx, Herbert, Van She, Sebastien Tellier, KIM, The Golden Filter, and Zombie Nation

BENI
- InTheMix.com.au
Despite his career as simply Beni being relatively short so far, the man behind the mask, or in this case, the bandanna, Beni Single has been tearing up clubs for years. As a founding member of local larrikins the Bang Gang Deejays, Beni’s been an inspirational leader for the Australian club scene, and with his work in the now defunct Riot In Belgium, he showed off his skills as a floor-crushing studio tweaker.

Check out his Streaming Audio Interview
