RADIO SOULWAX ➔ MACHINE

If you like to dance until your shoes melt to music that makes your face turn inside out, then you’re probably one of those people that goes to Soulwax gigs. Even if you’re not, have a watch of this new promo for Soulwax Radio which demonstrates just how they create their shiny black logo…Oh, just to let you know this video becomes inappropriate to watch on trains/at work at about 1:36. Stick it out, it’s worth it, but don’t say we didn’t warn you….

Simon Monk ➔ Secret Identity

Don’t worry, Spiderman hasn’t been trapped in a bag by the Orange Goblin and hung on a giant brass hook. It’s just a plastic toy Spiderman being lovingly displayed in dust-free surroundings and painted with precision detail by Simon Monk. Phew! Panic over. Simon’s paintings, entitled Secret Identity explore the incongruity between the epic nature of super-heroism and the inert and unimpressive nature of their plastic counterparts. The Hulk can’t smash anything in his polythene prison.

BEAT ➔ OR BAR-EL

Or Bar-el is a recent graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Jerusalem. This film, BEAT is his graduation film and his first attempt at 3D animation. You will discover the story of a cubic character who tirelessly repeats the same task, until that moment when his pencil falls which changes the rhythmic sound that was previously the same. Then, the music changes and the character comes to life. MAD!
