Rappers and slappers infested the Perv Circus Boat for a night of debauchery and damn right rude electro and jackin’ beats. DJ’s Harlow, Minimal Animal SoundSystem and Your Niece supplied crate’s full of top brass tunes keeping the rammed boat afloat till sunset over Poole Bay.

Wall to Wall Fidget, Bassline, Jackin & Electro – standard. Saturday July 10th 2010, dusk till dawn paid witness to some serious pressure from DJ’s Harlow, Meow and 46.XY. As the night grows in popularity it was fantastic to see the venue brimming with dancing heads and vibe’ed masses right up untill close. Massive respect to all the crew that made it down, it was by far the best one yet – here’s to the next!
Photo’s are on our facebook like page right now, expect them up in the gallery soon

We made it down to Dusk till Dawn on Saturday the 12th 2010 for Bournemouths own, home grown label night ‘BomoBeats’ – We had one of our own (46.XY) playing along side London based, Hed Kandi DJ & producer, Chris Bailey and Label don & Fire Radio, DJ Luke Dubyah.
One of BomoBeats latest and most exciting signings, Gemma Mewse made it down for the night so of course we had a little meet and greet!
Check out the Photos from the event.

iBar played host to another quality Audio Kink night, fuelled by the best in Dirty Electro & Fidget. Resident DJ’s Harlow & Meow didn’t fail to keep the venue on its toes, smashing out some serious grimey electro bizniz until dawn break!
This Months Special guest was none other than Record label, BomoBeats owner, Fire Radio 107.6FM & Slinky.FM legend Luke Dubyah. Dubyah’s renowned for keeping punters throwing shapes till the wee hours and this night was no exception. Check out the full gallery for more flicks.

This summer will see a influx of content for Many Chefs Broth and also some very exciting news – which unfortunately cant go into just yet.
Any how – do you ever get an idea that makes you think “That might just work?” and feel the urge to try it there and then? On the walk home from work I was thinking about shooting with DOF adapters and the many frustrating little issues with doing so – like the Horizontal and Vertical flip expected though the optics, the tricky cumbersome payload without propper rail/rod support system’s, the lack of Auto Focus (although not a big problem for many, as this allows for much greater creative control) and issues with vibrating /rotating focusing screens. Shooting with DOF adapters is not the answer to achieving ‘great looking cinematic shots’ but what it does do is open up plenty of creative possibilities.
With this in mind i was deterred from going out and shooting with my Camera and DOF adapter, with the very limited time i had before i ran out of light i needed to shoot what i had in mind in super time. I would also require to have full and speedy control over aperture, ISO and shutter speed. Of course, my film camera has these controllable options but not quite like a DSLR.
This lead me to the possibility of stop motion, it would allow shallow DOF (the kind of stylisation I had in mind) and I would be able to set up quickly and shoot instantly. The main issues being 1.My D50 is limited to shooting at about 4 frames per second in JPEG mode, this is a country mile away from the standardised 25 fps usually used in film and 2. Camera motion is exaggerated when using the 70-300mm lens. You’ll notice (2) in the first jerky shot of the glass of Orange juice.
This is a first attempt at stop motion in an outside environment. This summer i’ll be making 4 stop motion shorts. This being the first, which is purely for experience and experimenting.

Being a massive fan of Metal Gear Solid my friend Tim Ward stumbled across http://www.abbyshot.com. A wicked site devoted to recreating the famous garments from not only the Silver Screen but from some of the best Video Games EVAR! . In their own words “AbbyShot Clothiers is a privately held corporation founded in July 2002. AbbyShot’s garment designs are styled after clothing worn in movies, anime series, TV shows and computer games, yet completely wearable as high-end, durable, everyday apparel.”
Naturally if you have played any of the MGS games (MGS on the PSX notably for this garment) and love them as much as we do you will find it pretty damn hard not to fall in love with this awesome long jacket worn famously by Liquid Snake
As soon as the garment arrived we set on down to Lulworth, Dorset to take some sick photos of Tim in the jacket. Pleased with the shoot Tim added the photos to AbbyShot’s facebook group. Not long after that AbbyShot checked the photos out and emailed Tim and Myself in order to use the photos for their site, of course we were happy to oblige.

I heard rumblings in the underground that an intimate Dirty Electro and Fidget monthly event upstairs @ iBar in Bournemouth is making a few ripples in the scene. To be perfectly honest we’re all getting a little bit tired of the same old, same old in Bournemouth. Thus; I insisted I would investigate and go on a little photo OP to Audio Kinks April event with DJ’s H[s]Z, Cockney Nutjob, Harlow & JQ

I find it hard really hard to find a night where all the DJ’s not only KNOW their tunes, but they LOVE their tunes, specially in the world of ‘House’, maybe im not going to the right places?
In anycase all three Audio Kink DJ’s oozed vibes from their Electro & Fidget infested pours, smashing tunes from the likes of Wolfgang Gartner, Aquasky, Mighty-fools to name a few and crate loads of ones I couldnt even dream of naming! ..what made it special is they all danced their tits off as they did it, VIBES!
You can tell this night wasn’t for fashionista’s and posers. Thank <Insert religious figure here> for real DJ’s playing tunes they adore and know, thats what really makes you want to come back for more.
‘Implosion’ is downstairs, which is Hard House/Hard Style (not personally my thing) but the massive and crew in the basement love it to pieces. Fair play, leave ‘em to it, I personally just wish it was two floors of Electro & Fidget, but you cant have it all!

If you’re a Electro/Fidget head then you do have to check out Audio Kink, every Month there’s an impressive line up guaranteed to please, with the likes of legends Jon Merrit (One half of Dirty Inc) and many others having graced the ones & two’s in Audio Kinks existance [update - Luke Dubyah (Bomo Beats label owner & Fire 107.6FM DJ) is playing May 15 2010, Quality!).
If Electro/Fidget isnt entirely your thing, but you do want something different and more rewarding from your Saturday night, judging from what I witnessed, i would without a doubt recommend Audio Kink.
Good Vibes, Good tunes, Very Very Impressive DJ's for a free entry event and all in such an intimate quality little venue. Sweet!
Peace
James Williams
[Update] – The next Audio Kink is May 15th 2010 with DJ’s Luke Dubyah (Fire 107.6FM/Bomo Beats), Harlow (Enter/Frolic) and Meow (House Cat/Implosion)

Its been a while since i posted here, its been at the back of my mind in all honesty.
>To those who are not as sad (or passionate, you choose) about the Technological side of film (if you don’t bum articles about certain lens compression, shooting with UBER large apertures or would die for a REDROCK adapter) then you MIGHT not know what a DOF 35mm Adapter is (Honestly i dont mean that to sound patronising, in ANYWAY!)
