After a fun night of drinking wine, eating pizza and digging through some Hip-Hop records with some friends, I decided to come back to making mixes and publishing them on my Mixcloud. If you didn’t know already, I’m a Hip-Hop head and as much as I listen to a whole lot of styles and genres, […]
I am back
Hi all! I wish you a happy new year, hoping that this year will be yours and that you’ll be able to get/do whatever it is that you want as long as it doesn’t harm others. I realize it has been a year since I last posted anything here. After a year-long hiatus with lots […]

British Chinese-Vietnamese rapper Jianbo is back with a new track produced by Sly Diggers & Slimmoney entitled Chinatown Alley. The video below is meant to be part of a three-part thriller lead by Jianbo himself – in a story of vengeance, love, hate & redemption.

Rolling & Rocking
After curating my 100 favourite Rap songs, I’ve made the decision of doing the same but with Rock music. I’ll admit that it is a bit all over the place in terms of styles but hey… That’s how I roll! As always you can love the playlist on Spotify if this is your thing. Have […]

There is no better way in learning about that than with an interview. Today I have a fellow bilingual: Naud. Naud is a French pop artist, who happens to sing in both French and […]

A year of silence
Films documenting music – fictional or not – are my favourite, right after science-fiction and animation. After a couple of weeks, I started to feature some music films here. Void, One Year Of Silence is the latest one I have seen. At the end of March 2020, the UK entered its first lockdown of the […]
Book Club #01 : Art by Yasmina Reza
Reading is something that I struggled with for a long time. Not because I couldn’t read, but rather because I didn’t enjoy it. Reading came later when I was a teenager. Before that, the only thing I could read without feeling bored were comics and graphics novels. Even then I would still be bored after […]
Making Music: Back to the Bap
The last time I wrote about making music, I mentioned how I started thanks to rap. I started making music on my mom’s Windows Pentium 4 computer in the early 2000s with a loop arranger called Hip-Hop EJay. I loved making beats. Sure all the loops were in the software and all I needed to […]
Loving Covers #02
It has been a little while since I have talked about either album covers or typography, so here’s a shortlist of some covers that I love that feature exclusively typography. They have all been designed in the 2000s.
