GETME!

DANIEL DAVID FREEMAN : DEITY

Inspired by an eclectic mix of culturally specific and cult references
such as action heroes, comics, colourful B-movie posters and dancehall
album artwork, DDF works in felt-tip pen and pencil to create his own
comics, self-published zines, editorial illustrations, commissioned
posters and clothing artwork.

Deity, an imaginary Afro hair care brand conceived and existing in
DDF’s head, is an installation of both drawings and adapted
ready-mades inspired by traditional hand-painted African barber shop
signs and the message of faith and happiness that both these and early
House music (another one of DDF’s influences) are founded on.

Deity dictates a positive propaganda and a belief in the ‘Good Life!’

Daniel David Freeman graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2008.
Throughout the three years of his BA Illustration course he was a part
of the Crystal Vision collective, exhibiting with its other members at
the ICA and Jaguar Shoes. Since graduating DDF has exhibited in a
group show at Chapter One together with Marcus Oakley, Jiro Bevis and
Colin Henderson amongst others and a 2-man show at Old Shoreditch with
Paddy Jones. He has also produced commissioned work for clients like
Vice Magazine, Dazed and Confused and Adidas.

P.V : Thursday 20th May - 7pm onwards.
The Old Shoreditch Station,
1 Kingsland Road E2 8AA
Drinks provided by Russian Standard Vodka.

LP COVER COMMENTARY WITH KING BB

LEE FIELDS - MY WORLD

New soul is up there with world music in the list of genres I never ever wanted to like. But it’s time to face facts: there are some amazing new soul artists, and people outside of America and the UK can make some decent music. World music is a sloppy and pretty much invalid term, but we won’t get into that now.
I bought this album sort of based on the cover and was overjoyed to find out it is fucking brilliant. It is almost as good as this video of Lee practicing with his band of skinny white geeks. Peep the spider web doorag:

oh- and a pretty sick handkerchief arrangement here:

RIDDIM DRIVEN - MESHACH DANIEL FALCONER ROBERTS

FILTHY RIDDIM

One of my greatest fears is that on the night I propose the very moment the request leaves my lips the filthy riddim will drop to which my wife will respond to by singing Lady G ‘Breeze off’ I imagine that she will be so enraptured that by the second verse she will begin to aggresively rock her hips and violently slap her thighs as if caught up in some sort of rejection Haka. Upon finishing the song she will tell me the whole relationship was a joke and she never wanted the two bastard children we have. Both Beenie Man and Mr Vegas use this riddim to offer sentiments of female independence with ‘Let him go’ Beenie man calls for women to find self initiated liberty and Mr Vegas’ ‘Heads High’ propagates rarely for dancehall both female empowerment and oral chastity.

MR VEGAS - HEADS HIGH

LADY G - BREEZE OFF

GENERAL DEGREE - TRAFFIC BLOCKING

LP COVER COMMENTARY WITH KING BB

THOU - TYRANT

Not the sort of thing I have a lot of in my designated ‘white music’ wodge of vinyl, but the artwork is fucking amazing. I bought this at a gig they played in Brixton a while ago - which was set up my my good friend, and all round music freak/genius, James knight (whose alphabetical compilations you can see here). They played with Moloch and Pombagira in The Grosvenor, a pub with a history of crusty punk doom screaming shows. The show was utterly amazing. Probably the best gig I have ever been to, not least because I was expecting to hate every sludgey scream and ended up entranced, or possibly mentally stunned by the sheer volume and relentelessness of it all. I am a very sensitive person after all.
The record comes with a beautifully produced zine/liner note insert that is every bit as grim and scary as the music… Here is some it (on my sexy new rug):
