Big Dada Videos
For those moments when music alone is not enough, Big Dada bring you the visual goodness. Three new videos from three very different artists in three very different locations should keep you going through this neverending winter situation. Feel the warmth…
The Rootical One plays the rakish Lord Manuva on a stately home vibe and gets challenged to a duel for his troubles. A host of famous character actors, a couple of young lovelies, flintlock pistols, the works innit? Stanley Kubrick eat ya heart out.
Roots Manuva – Too Cold
Diplo flew out to Rio and shot this gritty, vibrant piece of verit? in the heart of the favelas, ably assisted by Pantera Os Dandinhos herself, the girl who provided the vocals for this version of the “Diplo Rhythm”. Raw and beautiful, the video is causing a stir back in Rio itself…
Diplo – Perc?o
The LA native Busdriver flew to Toronto to shoot this live-action / animation hybrid with director Jason McFarlane, whose previous credits includes work for Badly Drawn Boy. The result is a funny, self-deprecating and quirky take on life as an “indie rapper” with Bus’ showing his Jimmy Stewart-style star potential.

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.

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.
