A nice bit of visual dopeness from SPACE CAMP Death Squad, Joe Dassin is powerful in its simplicity. The crew is known for their highly energetic live performances, but this video catches the kinetic energy of the crew via framing and editing rather than having the members jump around like crazy people. Reminds me of Upright Citizens Brigade with boom bap. Share it around!

Nothing is more gratifying than watching an artist embrace the aesthetic of DIY, and slowly improve over time. J-Kid, already a solid emcee, has been embracing his visual side, and Learn To Fly, a collaboration iwth Flotation, is one of his stronger achievements in the realm of music video. Solid song, multiple locations, linear visual narrative and callback shots… we just might have a budding filmmaker on our hands.

Crew54 has been working on Wyld Gentlemen for quite a while now, and if this taste that GChrist gives us is any indication of what the whole is about, then I already know what I’m copping come October first.

Sole Glow Collective representer Artificial Earth Machine is ready to release Biosphere Simulator upon the world. The initial shot is in the form of Secrets. Created by Artificial Earth Machine, with an editing assist from Man-of-the-Downtrodden, the video is a quick journey through a glitched broadcast. Take a moment to get lost in another world.

Recently, the legendary Mystikal graced The Belmont with his presence. A small handful of Austin groups set up the night, and among them was The Undergrind. Already known for seamlessly mixing politics with poetry, the fellas took their moment to reflect on our importance as individuals in our daily walk in light of the recent death of Sandra Bland. After dedicating the set to her and her memory, the fellas left their heart on the stage.

Austin area music never ceases to surprise me with its depth and versatility. Just when I thought I’d heard all of the ‘reggae’ that central Texas had to offer, I came across Lady Shacklin, and let me be the first to tell you, she is RAW. War is everything I don’t hear from stateside reggae… high energy, straight from the heart, and BANGING. Dig it and dig it good.
