Check this video from Selah, one of the UK’s most talented up and coming singer/songwriters. Her voice is supreme soul, and with Sadie’s sweet vocals and Mz Bratt’s smooth rhyme, the three of them together makes for a sure hit.
If the intention of the video above was to make me laugh and to never look at cucumbers the same, then mission accomplished! Cooler Than Cucumbers Records brings you the first episode, of many to come, titled “Cuuuuuuuuuucumbers”. In this video, there’s an original one minute beat by Portuguese beatmaker Jo Jetson and a stop-motion video (photography/editing by Pinxit) with dressed up cucumbers (Good Bye June) — mustaches, bandanas with eyes, and a cape. And only one wins at the end.

Remember when I posted the music video “Hot As Hell“, by Brooklyn-based electronic producer Drop The Lime? He’s been getting a lot of love and support through the US and Europe for that song.
Oh, Luca Venezia, you know you look so good. Hot as hell, like a bad boy should. So hot… that this month, he was selected for the first series of “Featured DJ Playlists” on iTunes. Only a select number were chosen, and DTL stands among other electronic music acts such as Diplo, A-Trak, Armin Van Burren, Boys Noize, DJ Harvey, and David Guetta. Now head on over to iTunes to download DTL’s playlist.
If you didn’t see him perform at the Electric Daisy Carnival in June… check tour dates below, if you want to see him live.

Whoooooa. About a month ago, while on the East Coast recording with Ski Beatz, Murs chopped off his dreads. And if you know Murs, he visually stands out with his hair. The chopping happened at Frank’s Chop Shop in NYC. Watch the video above to see the process and the final outcome, if you haven’t already. He’s looking cleeeean and, still, good.
Along with the change, he has a new album, “Love & Rockets, Volume 1: The Transformation“, that’s set to release this fall on Dame Dash‘s DD172/BluRoc label.
