Blänk - 'Doing My Dance'
Swedish trio, Blank have a new video for 'Doing My Dance'. The track was recorded in Atlanta and the video was partly recorded during a late night wedding party in Sri Lanka by the band's creative director Martin Sjölander. We can promise that you haven´t seen anything like this video in a while. If you ask the band themselves 'Doing My Dance' is,
"...about the internet, and our right as human beings to be whoever we are on the internet, despite of the awful forces of the worlds big name brands who want to control what we see and who we are up there".
A couple of years ago, Blänk came out of nowhere and became one of Sweden’s most blogged-about bands, both in their own country and abroad, with fans in XLR8R, Discobelle and Palms Out Sounds to name but a few.
Their breakout single and video Shirt Off from their debut album 'You’ve Never Been To Sápmi' was praised by some of the world’s largest electro music blogs.
After opening for acts like Lupe Fiasco, Wale and The Cool Kids, Blänk is back with the release of their new EP, 'Áurinko Rising Again' on the 27th August. The 5 track EP will be released on Blänk's own imprint Grind Records and was recorded in Atlanta and Ryssbält – a small place by the sea a few miles south of the Northpole in Swedish Lapland – where Blänk originates from.

Skryptcha - Dance, Dir. John-Paul McElwee
Jonathan is a regular guy, with a regular job. He doesn’t stand for much, doesn’t stand up for himself, and lets others walk all over him.
One thing that makes him forget all that is ‘60s-‘70s funk. It's his escape. One day when everything seems to go wrong for him (losing his job, public humiliation etc.) something changes... He unknowingly taps into his favourite funk artist ('Dancing' Hilton Denis) and starts busting moves on anyone who gets in his way. Hilton is everything that Jonathan is not. He is funky, strong, savvy and he can dance. He acts on all the things that Jonathan can't. It soon dawns on Jonathan what has happened, he realises that Hilton has taught him how to dance and stand up to the people bringing him down.
SPIRITWO: Bjork 'OCEANIA' Video/Cover (Dir Yael Claire) july2012
Bjork's OCEANIA Middle Eastern Cover
As the Olympic took over her neighbourhood in Hackney- Singer Yael Claire, the versatile singer leading SPIRITWO, a band combining Epic Rock and Electro Cabaret, from the East London's Art Scene, thought to create an alternative activity ... Bjork's 2004 performance in the Olympic was the PERFECT excuse to cover that special, artistic song she sang in the Olympics back then - a song called 'Oceania' from her Accappella Album 'Medula'.
With the idea was to combine versatile vocal work with Arab beats, flavouring Bjork's song with the Middle Eastern passion - Yael Claire, originally from Tel Aviv ( Israe l) Collaborated with IBO, a London based Palestinian musician originally from Jerusalem, that gave the song original Arabic beats from traditional Arabic songs using the Darbuka (Tableh) percussion drum. The result is a landscape of sound : Punk Rock attitude , Electronica, and Middle Eastern musical tradition a mix that describes the current mixture of cultures that co-exist in friendship in London, thanks to a cosmopolitan, International Art scene. The Animation for the Video was directed and animated by Yael Claire from SPIRITWO, that used to be an animator, trying to keep the video DIY low cost. Yael Claire used stop motion tricks to create a journey from the beach in Tel Aviv to London's Regents Canal, passing through some of the exciting street art,capturing the charm of Hackney.
