Also from Australia, Pogo is a sampling genius and I’ve been hooked on his work ever since I heard his track, “Alice.” He creates amazing music by sampling famous films like ‘Hook’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Marry Poppins’, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, etc. His accompanying videos are cut from the films and are also quite impressive. This is a more recent video from one of my all-time favorite films, ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’, and I’m totally in love with it. I am in awe of his patience and skill; his is master of the mashup. And you can download his music for free! Check out his Myspace or download tracks from Last.fm.
This New Technology – Midnight Juggernauts from midnight juggernauts on Vimeo.
It doesn’t get much trippier than this. Loving this song as well as the video. There are a lot of great acts coming out of Australia these days, (Empire of the Sun, Pnau) and Midnight Juggernauts are one of my favorites. Video by Special Problems, who also have a great portfolio.
This video is sofa king awesome! I’m a huge fan of light painting, and this takes the technique way beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Australian animation company ‘Dee Pee Studios‘ made the video by light painting with glow sticks frame by frame. Unbelievable.
Another trippy music video from Air (do we expect any less from them at this point?) This one’s produced by Mathematic Studio.
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for weeks and have been listening to Miike Snow’s album pretty much every day on my commute. He’s very Brooklyn and sounds a lot like Passion Pit, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. [more…]
