Most folks outside of the UK only know Goldie as the bad boy DnB DJ, head of Metalheadz or maybe have possibly seen him in a movie or two. Those in the know however, can point to many places throughout the UK where Goldie’s influence of art, design & music was felt long before Jungle/Dnb ever had come to be…
So we just heard that POLAROID has decided to do a multi-year partnership with Lady Gaga!?!?!
In Lady Gaga’s own words:
“I am so proud to announce my new partnership with Polaroid as the creative director and inventor of specialty projects,” said Lady Gaga. “The Haus of Gaga has been developing prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation–blending the iconic history of Polaroid and instant film with the digital era–and we are excited to collaborate on these ventures with the Polaroid brand. Lifestyle, music, art, fashion: I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer, and to as my father puts it–finally, have a real job.”

“Will the original iPod become an object of fetishization in 2020, like vinyl records are today?”
I can’t say that this will be the case as consumer electronics are often long forgotten once the newer, hotter item hits the market & even the die-hard fans of older technologies are the first to admit it’s the novelty factor over everything else.
Plus at least for me, there’s not an emotional connection to the iPod like there is with that 1st piece of vinyl you ever touched, the smell of the inner sleeve of an LP or listening to uncompressed hi-fidelity audio, the way it was meant to be enjoyed- the way the Audio Engineer, Producer, Mastering Engineer & Artist signed off on it, not smashed all to hell so that it can fit on the device du jour. The iPod earbuds combined with the audio fidelity of an MP3 is craptastic at best even at 320 and has forced many artists to say “damn the dynamics, just make it LOUD”
All that being said, Matt’s list of music-tech trends I think is pretty spot-on and any artists that are planning on being around for another 10-20 years, really need to focus on what’s coming up and get ahead of the curve whenever & wherever possible.

In case you’ve been living under a rock over the last 12 months, odds are even that if you’re a DJ, you’ve copped a tune from Sublife by now, but for those of you rock dwellers out there, there’s still hope!
Sublife CEO/ DJ Lukeino along with his trusted MC Ax!om break a piece of for the New Year and hit the streets with their 1st installment of their studio mix series, “Sublife Mix Series Vol. 1″ featuring some super smoothed out DnB along with some of the harder edged dancefloor tracks that I’m sure will get you open & make your neck sore from boppin’ to the beat.
