Launcing Space

Category: Music, Myspace, News and Announcementsrob @ 10:17 am

Space is a new single from DJ Rinsa and JD Sykes - a British HipHop / Rap / Electrafunk outfit who have just managed to get their first single release through Native Restless Native records.

It’s not like Shared Creation to cover the music industry. However the pair have been friends of the Consumed project on Myspace and used that organ to let us know of their new release. This gives us an example of how a new UK artist has managed to gain success and also of course how cross pollination can really work between different endeavours - such as music and film.

It also reminds me that perhaps Shared Creation should cover more music - I’ll look out for that in the future.

In the meantime here’s the link to their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/djrinsajdsykes

Collaborating in the Pretty Shitty City

Category: Art, Music, Myspace, News and Announcements, Web, YouTuberob @ 10:15 pm

Its time to introduce Swansea… I’d best stop there before offending anyone.

Pretty Shitty City is a blog / collaboration project based around the promotion of the Alternative Design and Music Culture of Swansea. It aims to network with local artists to regardless of media to encourage collaboration and support.

If you read Shared Creation you will know that I think these are pretty great aims. I’ve been taking a look at Pretty Shitty City and found out about an Internet TV project, Welsh bands in a Channel 4 podcast, video activism, cool videos on You Tube, an art exhibition,a sustainable living project, the Welsh Digital Media Consortia and coverage of (BOO….HISS) DRM.

Thats a great lineup I think the idea of this kind of coverage whilst focusing firmly on a city, and (because it is Swansea) a pretty active city works wonders. In addition there is compact but good what’s on guide.

Ok so I’m gushing a little (happens when I get to cover something I like), but it’s a really good project and close to my heart (artistic collaboration again). I’d say - take look , go on pop over - there’s plenty of good things happening the in Pretty Shitty City.
