The upcoming documentary To Skin a Cat addresses the alarming loss of leopard populations in southern Africa to illegal skin trade and poaching, and its close ties to the Shembe Church religion (over four million strong) which uses the hides in ceremonial rituals. Ironically, the Shembe Church reveres these beautiful animals, but believe they are […]

VBS.TV and Agnes B present "Umshini Wam" short film
The paring of South African zefs Die Antwoord with fringe indie director Harmony Korine seems like a no brainer. The white trash obsessed director must’ve first seen Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er and had his heart explode. Now they’ve worked together on this 15-minute short, following the exploits of two daydreaming, wheelchair-bound, gun toting costumed gangsters […]

Blood Bros "First Blood" Mixtape on Mad Decent
The raison d’être of Blood Bros — a DJ duo comprised of Dirty South Joe and DJA — is simply (and awesomely) to create mixtapes culled from the best 80s action movie and kung fu flick soundtracks. What on Earth is there not to like about that? Sure it’s not as cerebral as, say, Chris […]
