REVIEW: Michael Jackson – This Is It

That effortless moonwalk, a pair of white socks, a single glove: these are the images that spring to mind when you picture the ‘King of Pop’. No one did it like Michael. The film This Is It revolves around his final days of rehearsal putting together what looked set to be an amazing show. With the help of director Kenny Ortega, the team worked very closely on trying to make every detail of the spectacle as amazing and unique as his iconic music videos.

Incorporating clips from old movies, Michael goes black and white, turning into a smooth criminal capable of fighting off 1940s gangsters, including Bogart and Cagney. MJ may have been in a league of his own but he was more than capable of showing his appreciation of other greats.

At first, they show clips from his rehearsals and what some of his dancers thought about working alongside the man himself. The small team working with Michael seems to be in awe of his presence. Who wouldn’t be when he rehearses the famous ‘Billie Jean’, one glove and all? With countless talented people rehearsing with Michael, he still stands out on top, outshining the others in an attempt to create the perfect experience for his ever adoring fans.

Even during the rehearsals you witness a genius at work. Conjuring magic with every song and dance move, MJ entertains with consummate ease. Working with the band, he shows a personal side which, if it wasn’t for This Is It, we may never have seen. MJ demonstrates the qualities that truly made him one of a kind. Ever the humble soul, Michael made sure he spread the love, saying ‘God bless you’ and ‘I love you’ repeatedly to the rehearsal team.

For every Michael Jackson fan, This Is It gives us one last look into what we would have enjoyed at his planned tour. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Michael live in action. Still, his music and memory will live on with the help of this latest installment. Michael Jackson will always be remembered for being the legend – ‘The King of Pop’.

DELARBOUCHE presents…. ‘Jimmy Choo’ @ H&M

 

Ok, so for those of you who haven’t heard about the unveiling of ‘Jimmy Choo’ @ H&M, shame on you!! Well thank goodness Delarbouche is here to reveal all…well part of me doesn’t want to say so, reducing the numbers that will be queuing up for those limited pieces on Saturday 14^th November 2009.  LOL!

Don’t get it twisted, it WILL be busy, so get your elbows ready, get that extra sleep and get there early if you want to get your paws on some of these lovely pieces. All together now, ooohhh, ahhhh….. Yup that’s what I thought.

 

 

 

Ranging from shoes, bags, accessories and some rather nice clothes, so be sure to get there on time.  It’s said there will be a ‘wristband’ system handing out a variety of different coloured bands to the ‘Jimmy Choo hungry’ customers waiting to get a glimpse of what’s available. Seeing as I’m planning to make it to an H&M store, I’ll let you know how it goes down and if I manage to grab myself some Jimmy Choo-ness!!

This collaboration also includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories, so don’t feel left out all you guys wanting to be involved too, join in, although somehow I see the women’s collection to be more in demand.

 

 

 I hope to be one of the first 160 people in the queue so I get that much needed ‘extra’ time to shop. The bracelets are only needed for the women’s shoes, bags and accessories, there are no bracelets needed if you’re there for the men’s collection or women’s garments. So what they’re really saying is, the shoes are going to be the top sellers, so forget about the clothing and get straight to the elbowing! I mean, grab a shoe!

Also, be sure to check on H&M’s website for which stores are getting involved and if they stock that certain item you’re hoping to get, you don’t want to be one of the 160 people wanting to get yourself that leopard print pair of shoes, when they don’t stock it in that store. Shock horror! – Delarbouche warned you…

Watcha Clan First UK performance Sunday, 7 December @ Components, Brixton Jamm

more about “Watcha Clan“, posted with vodpod

The first birthday of the monthly Components night features the UK debut performance by WATCHA CLAN. Hailing from Marseille, the melting pot of France and one of the oldest cradles of Mediterranean culture, Watcha Clan have already left their mark in continental Europe with their latest album ‘Diaspora Hi-Fi – A Mediterranean Caravan’.

Watcha Clan’s music is a colourful mix of electronic dance beats, drum’n'bass, dub and reggae, combined with traditional Mediterranean, Arabic and Balkan sounds, reflecting the band members’ different heritages and influences. The group’s singer, Sista K, and guest vocalists sing in a multitude of languages: French, Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish and English.

Bridging the gap between Afro, Jazz, World & Hip Hop culture, COMPONENTS is a platform displaying an intersection of multi-disciplinary Afro-creativity amid poly-layers of smooth outer national breaks and soulful global sounds. Also performing on this night, Components’ first birthday, will be South London’s favourite ghetto songbird MPHO SKEEF. Mpho Skeef was born to a mixed couple in South Africa at the height of the struggle against apartheid (her name means ‘gift’ in Zulu). The evening will commence with a TRIBUTE TO MIRIAM MAKEBA. There will be screenings and an Open Mic session supported by The Vibe Ologists, with Kyazi Lugangira, Jon Speedy, Ife Piankhi & Drea Parks and special guests, hosted by Leetho Thale & David J, plus DJ BEWARE and of course AFROGROOV DJs.

Zavvi placed into administration

Zavvi is the UK’s largest independent entertainment retailer Music, games and DVD chain Zavvi has gone into administration, Ernst & Young has announced, threatening 3,400 jobs. The troubled chain has been badly affected by the demise of Woolworths, which forced it to stop taking new orders via its website. Zavvi’s main supplier is Woolworths’ unit Entertainment UK (EUK), which went into administration on 27 November. All of Zavvi’s stores should be open as normal on Boxing day, for its traditional post-Christmas sale. KEY FACTS ABOUT ZAVVI Formed in 2007 after a management buy-out of Virgin Megastores The first Virgin Megastore opened in 1971 The largest entertainment retailer in the UK It has 125 stores, including 11 in Ireland The group employs 3415 people The retailer is the latest victim of the slump in High Street sales that has seen the administrators called in at tea and coffee specialist Whittards and menswear chain The Officers Club. It employs 2,363 permanent staff and 1,052 temporary staff. Zavvi Ireland is not currently subject to any formal insolvency proceedings. Problems at Woolworths Since Entertainment UK went into administration, Zavvi has had difficulties in sourcing stock and has been forced to enter new trading arrangements. Business Analyst Greg Hodge explains why Zavvi has hit financial trouble “This has resulted in considerable working capital difficulties,” an Ernst & Young statement said. “Since EUK went into administration, and perhaps before, the impact of problems at EUK on the Zavvi group has been significant. “Minimal deliveries, no returns and worse trading terms are just some of the areas impacted,” said joint administrator Tom Jack. “In the absence of a buyer for EUK, and with dire trading conditions on the High Street, the Zavvi group has seen a material fall in sales and the directors have now been forced to place parts of the group into administration,” he added. The administrators intend for Zavvi to continue trading with a view to selling all or part of the business. The group’s founding partners Simon Douglas and Steve Peckham said: “We have done all that is possible to keep the business trading, but the problems encountered with EUK, and particularly its recent failure, have been too much for the business to cope with.” “As soon as EUK went into administration, the writing was on the wall for Zavvi,” said Greg Hodge from Planet Retail. “Is there room for a music store on the High Street? The answer is probably no,” he added, highlighting the intense competition from digital downloading, online gaming and cheap CDs from the supermarkets. The Zavvi group is the UK’s largest independent entertainment retailer with 125 stores, 11 of which are in Ireland. It was formed after a management buy out of the Virgin Megastore division of the Virgin Group in September 2007.

Baka Beyond ‘Beyond The Forest’ Out 4 May

www.baka.co.uk / www.bakabeyond.net / www.youtube.com/user/bakabeyond

For review copies, images, interview requests and more information please visit:

www.myspace.com/ilkamedia | www.youtube.com/ilkamedia  | www.ilkamedia.com

The haunting, mystical vocals on the album Baka Beyond’s forthcoming CD, “Beyond The Forest”, were recorded on a solar-powered 8-track machine in the middle of the Cameroon rainforest which has been inhabited by the Baka Pygmies, an ethnic group of hunter-gatherers, for thousands of years. At night time the Baka Pygmy women perform powerful ritual singing (“yelli”) to ensure a successful hunt.

Back in the UK, Baka Beyond leader Martin Cradick deconstructed the original interwoven vocal lines and replaced some voices with bass and acoustic guitar.  The result is a stunningly beautiful, unique, other-worldly album.  As well as offering a rare glimpse into an exquisite disappearing musical culture, buying this album also directly supports the Baka who face various problems such as being disenfranchised from the forest.

There will be a special album launch show taking place at Bush Hall in London on 8 May.
Also, please check out the EPK for some great footage from the recordings in Cameroon’s rainforest Click HERE

Baka Beyond are Martin Cradick (UK) – guitar; Nii Tagoe (Ghana) – balafon, percussion, drums; Kibisingo (Congo) – bass; Su Hart (UK) – vocals; Molara (UK/Nigeria) – vocals; Tim Robinson (UK) – drums; Paddy Le Mercier (France) – violin, whistle, bombarde.

Performing Live At The Spotlight Sessions October 8th: Joker Starr

There isn’t that the talented artist Joker Starr can’t turn his hand to. From performing in New York as part of Jonzi D’s Lyrical Feater, to producing a track on MC Ty’s Mercury nominated album, Joker Starr doesn’t limit himself and certainly isn’t held back by a lack of talent. 

Humorous social observations jostle with serious statements, witty-one liners counter-point shout outs and put-downs. There’s no aspect of life the rapper won’t break down into Joker Starr sized pieces before reassembling to create a picture of the world the way he sees it. 

A potent mixture of talent, vision and dynamism, Joker Starr is ready to add a new facet to Hip Hop music, with a distinctly UK flavour.

www.flukebeat.co.uk / www.myspace.com/jokerstarr

Check out a track from Joker Starr, featuring Sway Dasafo & Genesis Elijah called ‘Revenge of the Sith’

The Spotlight Sessions in support of The WAYout Project

Performing Live At The Spotlight Sessions October 8th: Jesse Gamage

Jesse Gamage is a twenty-something acoustic soul singer/songwriter. who grew up listening to the classics and later developed further with the help of some of the more recent soul legends.
His style is always developing, he doesn’t pretend to know everything, and he always keep an open mind to new ideas. The material he writes is based around the reality, the truth, the hope for change and the fact that nothing in this world is ever just black and white, love or hate… never that simple.

Canibus and Keith Murray are The Undergods

 

Keith Murray and Canibus are emcees that define what it is to be underground hip-hop.

Each has had a measure of commercial success, toured the world, sold hundreds of thousands of records and established their names to several generations of fans.

But more than that, there is no doubting the credibility a 16 carries when it’s attached to their name and it’s made them recognized rap heavyweights for nearly 15 years.

Respected for their raw lyrics, unique voices and grimy deliveries, the two have joined together in an era when mainstream hip-hop is dying and independent success is no longer measured by record sales. As The UnderGods, Keith Murray and Canibus are ready to bring their brand of Hip-Hop to a place it’s never been before.

The Fall – short film trailer

Here is the trailer for the forthcoming short film The Fall – starring Leon Rainee, Zakary Momoh and Errol Clark, from first-time writer-director Michael Chandler and the award -winning Wilderness Productions.

Ancient Astronauts release ‘We Are To Answer’ on ESL

 

 Their very name, “Ancient Astronauts,” implies a mash-up of the distant past and the far future; traits exemplified in their melding of old school hip hop, funk, and dub reggae with forward-thinking flair and production technique. The Ancient Astronauts are Kabanjak and Dogu hailing from Cologne, Germany . . .via outer space! Coy with their true origins, the duo can only confirm that they returned to planet Earth in 2001 after traveling the musical cosmos for thousands of years. Those familiar with the phenomenon of “ancient astronauts,” a belief that extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in ancient times to mingle and trade ideas with early human civilizations, won’t be surprised that upon returning this particular spaced-out duo quickly set up a terrestrial sound studio, a record label (Switchstance Recordings), and a successful production, remixing and DJ career dropping sound bombs all over the world. Already having remixed for Fort Knox Five, Up Bustle & Out, Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, Zion I, and Dr. Rubberfunk, the Ancient Astronauts have linked up with a variety of new sonic collaborators including Bootie Brown and Imani of legendary hip hop group The Pharcyde, Azeem, Tippa Irie, Bajka, Phat Old Mamas, Ulf Stricker, Raashan Ahmad and Entropik to record their debut album We Are To Answer! A block-rockin’ boom-bappin’ sonic tour-de-force, We Are to Answer is a musical vision of life on Earth and beyond!

Soul Avengerz Vs. Butcherd Beats ‘The Trumpets Shall Sound’

Soul Avengerz strike again! ‘Trumpets Shall Sound’ is a sound clash of rhythmic brass hooks and kick ass house beats that all gel to give an overwhelming feeling of summer time carnival and gives the track full-on Balearic status.

The original mix comes at you in a more radio friendly package and geared towards the more chilled but funkier venues. Has a happy vibe and sound great in the sun. Soul Avengerz ramp things up on the Club SODA mix gelling Izzy’s latin summer brass hooks with some big dirty tribal house beats, cool drops and the usual phat production associated with the SODA label. Already huge across some of the worlds sexiest dancefloors..
