Melvin the Machine by HEYHEYHEY
WATCH THIS!!!
If the Honda adverts float your boat…….then this arguably more creative and better. Very interesting design studio who take a special interest in whatever comes their way. “We are not limited by any visual style or medium. We create exclusive communicative ideas for each specific client, project, medium and/or moment.” I was certainly grining all the way through this! Especially at the parachutes!
In this movie filmed in a warehouse on the outskirts of Eindhoven, the ringing of an alarm clock triggers a chain of events that opens umbrellas, spins paper windmills, starts a fire and releases a set of parachuting toy animals.
Dutch design studio HEYHEYHEY originally constructed the machine, named Melvin, during Dutch Design Week 2010 but reassembled this improved version a year later.

Batemans Row by Theis and Khan Architects
Hackney architects Patrick Theis and Soraya Kahn explain the ideas behind the forms and detailing of their combined home, studio and gallery and discuss how they feel the building responds to its location in Shoreditch, the “naughty relative” of the City of London.

Subb-An
Spectral Sound [SPC108]
Real bad-ass tune from the pairing of Subb-An and Beckford again. A swinging metallic bassline coupled with some nice claps and Beckford’s whisperings. Decent.

Old Workshop by Jack Woolley
A project to rehabilitate a run down carpenter’s workshop by increasing its size and converting it to live/work.
The original workshop is set behind an old wall that links two nineteenth century terraces, forming a gap that frames a borrowed landscape of tree canopies. The aim of the design was to double the inhabitable volume without compromising the integrity of wall or landscape.
A new basement level was inserted under the original, but offset horizontally to allow daylight to penetrate through structural walk on rooflights running along its length.
Materials salvaged from the derelict structure were used to restore the original building with small interventions to accommodate changed requirements of day lighting, thermal efficiency and circulation.
The street wall was pierced to create the main entrance – integrated into the brickwork but visible only as a rectangular witness line.
Sodden timbers from the original roof were dried out, cleaned and used to make the kitchen.

Heavenly disco edit from the master of edits. Looped intro and slow build up is on the button.

This to me is true Deep House, not the stuff populating the Beatport chart currently.

An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.

Dogmatik Records [DOG018]
For those who have followed Maya’s path from her very first recordings. You’ll be aware that Maya’s first release and subsequent releases were on Alex Arnout’s wonderful Dogmatik label. Well shes back with a sweet summer house groover featuring a delicious piano riff and that usual MJC woozy feel.

A new piece of street art bearing all the hallmarks of a Banksy appeared overnight in north London.
The stencil of a small boy sewing Union Jack bunting has already been interpreted as a comment on the Queen’s impending Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The worker is hunched at his work on an old fashioned Singer-style machine, the inference being that it is criticism of overseas child labour being used to produce cheap decorations or souvenirs for the British celebration in June.
Some people say design is about solving problems. Obviously designers solve problems but so do dentists. Design is about cultural invention.
