…in the music industry.
Inspired by a copyright discussion in an interview I had today, I remembered the important history lesson from the video above. The second half gives proof as to why loosened copyright laws in music will encourage creativity. Music startups like Mixcloud are at the forefront of a push for increased access to tunes. Increased access is giving listeners a plethora of influences from which to be inspired – heightening the opportunity for originality through variety and assimilation. This is why Laurence Lessig and Creative Commons points to the future. Lessig acolyte – Girl Talk and his pay-what-you-want album Feed the Animals is what pop music should have been since the 80s, were it not for stringent copyright laws:
Yes, the video avoids the UK YooToob ban – because it’s licensed through Creative Commons! Also, go check out (trailer here) the first open source documentary, which is about all of this – RiP: A Remix Manifesto.

Inspired by my matey Murkules I’ve been vibein on some Schlachthofbronx. Describing themselves as a cake mixture of “kuduro, uk funky, bassline, dubstep, bootyhouse, miami bass and b-more” – they’ve cooked up a rich sponge of bass and bounce. Be sure to keep yo yeye peel fodem.
And I couldn’t resist envisaging the socasummer to come…

First clocked this breh on the super dope Bok Bok and Manara mix they did for TRASH MENAGERIE and recently picked up a few of his tunes over at IN ROBOTS WE TRUST. ( Which features a very similar introduction to this. Great Minds! )
He/she/it makes funky, techy, ravey parcels of noise fun. Heavy on percussion and gritty synth work. Definitely not a reflection of the art work. Mr Spliffy anyone?
