  • Meneo Interview

    460_1852079Meneo Interview on a new podcast from Forcefed Fistfuls. Details:

    This week we put our focus on latin America (from Argentina to Mexico) for ‘Mas Fuego, Mas Bajo!’, our special on latin American electronics and street music.

    With focus on a few key artists and record labels pushing different unique sounds – we’re putting our south-of-the-equator sister continent on blast, exposing movements in Reggaeton, Cumbia, Hip Hop, Funk Carioca, Baile Funk and more. Find out what all these genres are if you don’t know already and if you do, enjoy some classic and harder to find gems….

  • Garth and Ginny’s Pixel Films

    Garth and Ginny’s “Pixel Films” are about as high resolution as you’re likely to get from a 50×50 pixel square. The latest animation, coming by way of the Brighton Fringe Festival, follows up their first Pixel Film below which screened at the famed Pictoplasma festival last year.
