Elusion is a non-narrative experimental documentary that is like a waking dream. It takes the best tricks from the myths, legends and ghosts of the North American Flatland community and blends them from one scene to the next in fluid motion with an original score that pulls its viewers inward.
Meant as an historical document for future generations, the film shows flatland as we flatlanders see it while maintaining the elusive nature of the riders themselves.

So kids, the moral of today’s story is never judge a book by its cover. Or in this particular tale, never judge an album by its cover. Don’t let the No Limits style, Photoshop extravaganza put you off. Mr Drastick, aka the Trak Bully, has skills pon da mic. And beats. Lots of lovely beats.

Hot off the virtual presses, we have some info for you guys fresh from the e-mail I got sent from NamedropBrian TunneyNamedrop...
It was a close call in the first heat.. Everyone smashed it, standards were high. standards are gonna stay high. We’re here to rep the UK, defenders of the International EOW MC Challenge title.
Three more heats will take place every two months from now until August when we will have four champions for our final this September which will determine who defends the international title won by Stig Of The Dump in 2007.
This year we host this event in London UK joined by champions from the USA, Germany, Spain, France, Brazil, Argentina & Holland. Thats something big to look forward to.
On the same day, Mutiny and Fit both released the webvids they've been working on for the last few months. Both have an interesting take on how videos should be done, and both provide a pretty entertaining watch.
So the third instalment of Life’s solo project is here. "Outside Looking In" brings more views of the well established UK artist to the fore and dishes them out with the familiar rapid fire flow that made him a hit, along with fellow emcee Si-Philli, back in 2000 when "Millennium Metaphors" first dropped.
While this album has definitely moved on since then, in terms of production and substance, Life’s style on the mic doesn’t seem to have varied much over the years. And while die hard fans won’t have a problem with that, the less forgiving hip hop heads out there might want some sort of lyrical evolution to occur. Don’t get me wrong, I like Life, but his stuff doesn’t seem to get me buzzing like it used to. I remember first hearing him and Philli on tracks like "Drop Bombs" and "Cordless Mics at 20 Paces", and thinking they were the best thing to come out of the UK since London Posse.
At the end of 2007 SpeakersCorner closed its doors at the Jamm in Brixton. We didnt go to sleep.
The EOW:UK MC Challenge is up an running strong. More events including stages at festivals & a national tour due for 2008. Keeping our heart pumping on the monthly since Jan 2008 we've also been hosting a showcase & open mic event under the banner of The Peoples Army.
Picture this.. 10 days, 10 dudes trying to find sweet skate spots in the dirty south of ...

Swedish pop-punk legends Millencolin are back for the first time in 3 years with their 7th studio album ‘Machine 5‘. Due for release on May 6th, ‘Machine 5’ upholds the Millencolin sound whilst progressing and evolving throughout the album. The record begins with a solid drum-beat and before you know it the defining voice of vocalist/bassist Nikola Sarcevic is screaming through your eardrums, sounding better than ever before.
Pendulum release the single ‘Propane Nightmares’ on April 28th as an exciting taster ahead of their second album ‘In Silico’ that follows on May 12th.
The groundbreaking eclectic crossover dance act will also be taking their full live band experience on the road with a UK tour throughout May.
I've been a fan of this artist for a while now. There is something about the mood, simplicity, originality and pure genious of Anthony Lister's work that proves our generation has moved to forefront of the Art world. We did an article a few weeks back with Melbourne based jewellery creator Hayley Mei which was just a small taster of what our generation of this nation have to offer.
I sometimes feel the creative talent that pours out of Australia sometimes goes un-noticed to the majority of the world. Thats why I chose to do this feature, focusing on the work and life of Brisbane-born, Brooklyn-residing painter and installation artist, Anthony Lister.
