Chris Joss – You’ve Been Spiked
Label: Cristal Records
Release Date: 2004
Genre: New Funk Disco?
Want disco? Don’t own a time machine? Chris Joss delivers some of the funkiest sounds I’ve heard in this new millennium. Potentially the new soundtrack for whatever is the next Austin Powers movie, or the theme music for ‘Under Cover Brother 2′. Overall a mediocre album due to the lack of variations, then again if you looooove da funk, you shall looove da Joss. 7/10
4Hero – The Remix Album
Label: Universal Korea
Release Date: May 3rd, 2004
Genre: Downtempo / Remixes
Watch closely.. 2 CD’s first one = 4 Hero remixes, second CD = mixes of 4 Hero. Ok, now you’re up to speed. Less funk than Chris Joss, and more classic cause it’s 4 Hero, but skippable cause it’s not really all that special (did I mention it’s $42 USD?). Stick with the original releases from 4 Hero. 4 / 10
Rae and Christian – Northern Sulphuric Soul
Label: Grand Central
Release Date: March 9, 2004
Genre: Downbeat
If you haven’t heard R&C before they are worth slowing down your music piracy for. Having produced several killer albums already, they continue to mash out original new tracks that mix hip hop, breakbeats, turntablism and even sometimes pop music. This album however is a remastered of their original 1998 release but also includes 3 previously unreleased tracks: Time to Shine, Premotion and Bacalau. This album is worth every penny, even if it was just for the new extra tracks. 9 / 10

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain
The festival attracts a lot of outsiders, but the Mediterranean, Spanish and more specifically Catalan nature of the people makes the festival what it is. Catalan people are passionate and this passion is infectious. The atmosphere is electric in Barcelona as a city and heightened by music and intoxicants at Sónar.

Summer Party Naval Styles at Seven RestoLounge
Oysters, like wine are affected by terroir and these Miyagi’s flavor profiles ranged with one showing a cleaner, almost tropical profile and the other being more salty, marine driven. As I was devouring the seemingly endless plates put in front of us, I sipped on a glass of fine sauvignon blanc.

Predictions 2010.. and beyond!
So 2010 eh? Almost but not quite (no year zero they say) another decade? It seems like just yesterday that the world was waiting for Y2K. R4NT started publishing in March 2001, so we’re not quite 10 years old yet, but in internet years we are already a senior citizen.

Invictus
No matter what, the reality of Nelson Mandela is something that deserves screen time. Should this film even remotely intrigue the masses to take interest in this figure, the world would likely benefit greatly from it.
