King Drippa directs animation for ‘No One Knows Who We Are’ by Kaskade, Swanky Tunes and Lights

Swanky Tunes and Lights teamed up with Kaskade to release 'No One Knows Who We Are'. The track was put out on Christmas Eve and was met with warm welcome from dance music enthusiasts. The song is going through its second coming, reminding folks by unveiling the official video. Kaskade was extremely satisfied with the outcome, telling Rolling Stone, “the comic-style animation in this video really helps bring an added visual element that helps lifts the beats and Lights’ vocals, giving the song even more of an electric charge.”


Watch the official video for “No One Knows Who We Are” directed by King Drippa! The track will be also featured on Kaskade’s follow-up to 2011′s Fire & Ice, expected  to  be out later this year.

Watch: Rip! A Remix Manifesto

If you're more familiar with music documentaries, you've probably come across this one. Directed by Brett Gaylor, 'Rip! A Remix Manifesto', came out back in 2008. It had been in the process of making for over six years. Nevertheless, I think the doco tackles the matter of copyright laws in a way that won't be outdated as fast. Even though, the mash-up producer Girl Talk, one of the centric characters in the movie, would say that in retrospect, these problems will simply seem nonsensical.


The Creative Commons licensed movie is a collaborative remix itself, drawing from hundreds of contributors and making it the 'world's first open source documentary'. Enjoy learning about sampling, remixes, mash-ups, laws regarding them as well as the music industry that directs the show!

Rip! Un Manifiesto en Remix

Si estás familiarizado con los documentales musicales, probablemente conocerás éste. Dirigido por Brett Gaylor, “Rip! A Remix Manifesto”, salió en 2008. Su proceso de creación ha tomado lugar durante 6 años. Sin embargo, creo que habla con tanta fuerza sobre el tema del copyright, que no se quedará obsoleto en mucho tiempo. Aun así, la productora de mash-up, Girl Talk, uno de los personajes centrales de la grabación, diría que en retrospectiva, estos problemas simplemente parecen no tener sentido.


La película, con licencia Creative Commons, es un remix colaborativo en sí mismo, elaborado por cientos de colaboradores, y siendo el “Primer documental de código abierto del mundo”. ¡Disfruta aprendiendo sobre el sampling, los remixes, los mash-ups, las leyes que les atañen así como la industria musical que dirige el show!

Official Video for Duke Dumont – Need U (100%) + fresh remix by Skream

Maybe it was the End of the World that got producers to give it their best, we don't know. But what we do know is that the final quarter of 2012 saw new hits springing up like mushrooms after rain. One of the biggest things in house was Duke Dumont's track Need U (100%).  Now it's gotten the visuals to go with the beats, you can check it out below. You will also find Skream's early 90s reminiscent spin on the club anthem. Both tracks will be available to purchase starting from March, 31st via Ministry of Sound. Enjoy!


Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a tape-recorder stuck in your stomach, playing the one of the catchiest tracks around everywhere you go? Well, now you can see what's likely to happen by the courtesy of Duke Dumont and the director of choice – Ian Robertson.

Watch: Official video for Diplo – Butter’s Theme feat. Gent & Jawns

If you still haven't heard of the Potato Will Eat You business, then head to our quick guide to Potato, the new platform by A-Trak, Skrillex and Diplo with a lot of collaborators from around the world. The first music video has emerged, being introduced through the platform. This one's the fruit of Diplo's efforts, with a trademark ridiculousness element evident in the visual accompaniment.


Butter’s theme” feat. Gent & Jawns comes his recent 'Express Yourself' EP. The wicked video goes well with the moombahton jungle beats.
