Freeze London

Winter hits London this week – British summer time ends on Sunday; the Relentless Freeze Festival arrives on Friday. The UK’s biggest winter sports event, the festival lures the world’s best snowboarders and skiers to Battersea Power Station for two days of intense competition. Here, competitors will whoosh down the specially installed snow jump as thousands of spectators look on. Friday’s Ski Big Air Comp and Saturday’s Snowboard Big Air Comp are the bouts to watch for the most adventurous aerial displays. Away from the slope, there are musical performances from the likes of Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Mark Ronson & DJ Shadow.

Weekend passes are sold out but individual day passes are still on sale HERE!

I'm looking forward to this! Snowboarding & Public Enemy? AWESOME!

T. Lipop AW12

As with last season I once again did show music for T. Lipop, remixing a bit of Lil Wayne, editing some Jay-Z/Kanye action and splicing together bits of Matthew Dear and Shabazz Palaces with my favorite track from the new Sleigh Bells album for the finale. Tom's AW12 collection was simply fantastic, featuring some particularly nice blazers, shirts and jackets. Check out a front row video and some backstage photos:

What Lies Beneath, Mert & Marcus for LOVE Magazine

Mostly known for their portraits of sophisticated, powerful women, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's photos typically lend an air of grace and unmistakable perfection to advertising. Their shoot for the latest issue of LOVE caught my eye as it veers away from their usual style, equal parts beautiful and disturbing it recreates Jeff Bark's 2007 series Woodpecker and reminds me a little of Gregory Crewdson's Beneath the Roses (2003-2005), with models bound & gagged and floating lifeless in water wearing Converse and the odd piece by Charles Anastase or Marc Jacobs. It also reminds me of the scene in Sam Raimi's The Gift where Katie Holmes' dead body gets dragged out of the lake, remember that? Anyway, I really like this editorial and so I thought I'd share it, check it out:


Here are two shots from Jeff Bark's Woodpecker series and below that is one from Gregory Crewdson's Beneath The Roses:


The latest issue of LOVE is out now with 6 different cover stars. Lara Stone was out of stock so I picked up Elle Fanning.

Ingrid Vlasov AW 11/12

I was chosen to do the soundtrack for Romanian designer Ingrid Vlasov's AW 11/12 show for Paris Fashion week. The show took place at the Westin Paris, Vendome, on Tuesday the 8th of March. Vlasov recently garnered an influx of attention when Lady Gaga was photographed wearing the finale dress from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Below you can see a video of the AW 11/12 show with my soundtrack and a backstage video from the day, as well as a photo of Lady Gaga wearing the aforementioned dress.
