Here at Do It! we pride ourselves on bring you upfront Music, Art and Film but in order to move fwd it's important from time to time to take a step back and look at where all things new come from.

Subnation's "Scottie" was released on Future Vinyl back in 1993 and is still to this day one of the most underrated fwd thinking classic Jungle / D n B Bangerz ever made...
No one will ever touch those backwards drum arrangements, completely insane but completely in time..

Defo one for the Roller Express / Evil Dead Massive..

Major Awkward




"When interviewing a Band, DJ or DJ's in a Band at least make it fun and somewhat interesting. 
Ain't nobody got time for the same played out Sh*t questions N Ga*h Banter.

This woman clearly didn't read the above email and proceeded to hold one the most awkward interviews we've seen in a while.

Thank God she’s only got a radio show…

Daftside: random access memories memories



Without a doubt Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is one of the most Hyped LP's of our time.

As an LP it had to power to split the world of dance Music in two.
On the right we saw people who love and understand real music regardless of its BPM, how it was made or genre and on the left we have a load of wanna be know it all EDM Clubbers who in fact know very little about the history of the music they clam to worship every weekend.

Up steps "Daftside" also know amongst the Imperial fleet and Rebel Alliance as "Nicolas Jaar" a Jedi intent on totally laying wast to any clams that 'R.A.M' was a somewhat mediocre LP (and hopefully have a word with the twats on the left)

Will his remix LP reunite and bring back peace to the Dance Music Galaxy or will we see more blood on the dance floor?
Who knows and who really gives a fu*k?
All we know is that this is an amazing Remix LP which some might even say is even better then the Robot's original version.

What ever you do, don't believe the hype use your own ears, think for yourself and enjoy it for what it is...

Richie Hawtin, Skrillex & Luciano join Bridges For Music At Sonar by Day / Friday 14th June / Barcelona




Richie Hawtin, Skrillex and Luciano will join Bridges For Music director Valentino Barrioseta for an exclusive talk and screening about the Bridges For Music project at Sónar+D. Taking place on Friday 14 June at 4pm, there will be a short documentary trailer about the project, a discussion about current and future plans for the organization and the three founding ambassadors for Bridges For Music will share their experiences from recent workshops in South Africa.

Bridges for Music is a non-profit organisation supporting responsible development of electronic music in emerging areas. The initiative, which aims to use music as a tool for empowerment in disadvantaged communities, is supported by revered music industry personalities and companies.

Bridges for Music launched its first program in South Africa in February 2013 with project ambassadors and global music legends Richie Hawtin, Skrillex and Luciano. A series of free music events and workshops took place over 2 months in the townships of Soweto (Johannesburg) and Langa (Cape Town). The ambassadors were joined by local DJ icons Black Coffee, Vinny da Vinci and Niskerone amongst others, to talk about the power of music and how to harness its opportunities.

This first successful project aimed to bridge the gap between black and white communities by bringing together people from all backgrounds and offering an inspiring experience with eye opening insights into the genuine opportunities around the electronic music scene in the townships. These "township" areas are infamous legacies of the Apartheid segregation and still represent the day-to-day struggle for the majority of the population in South Africa. In recent years, electronic music, in particular House music, has become an integral part of the culture in these communities, developing into a strong local music scene, which is already being used as a foundation to overcome socio-economic boundaries.

Showing its commitment for the longer term, Bridges For Music is starting a music school support program for selected schools in Soweto and Langa. In the coming year, Bridges for Music will also look to develop further projects in the rest of Africa, South America and Asia.

Bridges for Music- South Africa - Richie Hawtin & Black Coffee (TRAILER)

Richie Hawtin, Skrillex, Luciano and Bridges For Music director Valentino Barrioseta will all be present for the Bridges For Music talk at Sónar+D on Friday 14 June at 1600h.
