Its been a good week for music, highlighted by Flying Lotus releasing his “Between Friends” track with Earl Sweatshirt. Now comes the other shoe from SBTRKT (aka Aaron Jerome). Like the London-based producer previous release via SoundCloud, “Gamelena”, “Gloss” was captioned with minimal text: “#gloss #sbtrkt analog music”. So here we are again, thankful that […]

The rise of the subvertisment movement. Resistance is (not) futile.

England is recently home to an international subvertising campaign hosting 25 artists from around the world. The artists designed large scale subvertisements to fit over public space billboards in a convention that has come to be known as Brandalism.
