All around excellence from performers (LOVED Bassnectar's dubstep version of Dead Prez's Hip Hop, dug FlyLo when he gave a shout out to Soundmurderer and dropped the heavy idm/jungle.)
I got turned on to the Mighnomy Bros. and was so psyched to watch Kero blend a track in with Flying Lotus' set. KILLERRRRRR xD

Media City Film Festival

MEDIA CITY 15 Experimental Film and Video Art Festival starts Wednesday, May 20th through Saturday, May 23rd at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Windsor.

Media City is a festival that is recognized for the unique type and calibre of each program. This year there were over 1,100 submissions from all over the world, from which a selection of 50 new films and this year's artist retrospectives (Jean-Claude Rousseau, Robert Frenz) were chosen. Not a lot of narratives here; most, if not all the films are short in length and abstract in content, to find the side of you that wishes to experience the medium of film without cliched story lines, films that engage a variety of visual and technological aspects, such as Sunday 6th April, 11:42 a.m. by Flatform of Italy. This 6 minute video "describes a landscape as a complex network of connections that guide relationships between people. The video focuses on actions and places, movements and the environment, and underlines the reciprocal connection between environment and its inhabitants, where territory plays an inevitable role in anthropomorphic transformations." +

www.houseoftoast.ca has the festival's history, and the full program is available here.

TICKETS: all programs are Pay What You Can, suggested contribution: $5. Festival pass: $20. Tickets & passes are available at the door.

You can also volunteer, and there will be afterglow parties at Phog Lounge each night with live music, and you can meet with many of the exhibiting artists and filmmakers. Come and say hello!

Hip Hop Plus Pop With Soul

Detroit CYDI says it all. Can you dig it?
Their danceable, fun-lovin melodies with heavenly hip hop delivery from super producer Dr. Illingsworth, Rufio Jones & Sean Uppercut.

Their latest, The Rhyming Dictionary is available on their myspace for free download (click the name) and was produced in part by Erik L, a producer all the way from Sweden. This alliance is what immediately appealed to me about Detroit CYDI - the fusion of european electronic sounds plus the easy to hear lyricism is highly agreeable. This compatible group works closely with Stryfe, Stray and Nic Notion, among many others. I think (hope) Stryfe (who has a new release available here) will be in the studio this week with us as well. Check him out at Blue Collar Gentleman tonight at The Old Miami!


Tune in to Minced Meat this Sunday May 3rd at 12AM to CJAM 91.5fm for a live interview, and maybe some live performances too!
