Since his very first release on Ram’s sister label Program, Frankee has continued to make progress across Ram’s vast back catalogue of music. Now in its twenty fifth year, Frankee has become an integral part of its roster, with his anticipated debut LP coming closer with every successive release. And following over a decade of dedicated graft, after discovering the world of drum & bass at the age of thirteen, it’s unsurprising that his last string of singles have been heralded by fans and tastemakers alike. Whether it’s the vocal crescendos of tracks like ‘Nobody Cares’, or the imposing chaos of ‘Gully’, Frankee caters to a vast audience; an audience who’ve been waiting for his forthcoming album with baited breath. 

The next single from Frankee is ‘Skuttle’, more reminiscent of his fiercer productions yet also dipping into new sound territories. With skittering percussion, crunching snare and snapping drum peddles, ‘Skuttle’ takes you into the murky world of Frankee whilst living up to its namesake. Giving a snapshot into the vast soundscape Frankee has stretched across his debut album, ‘Skuttle’ prepares you for a journey which will once again see Frankee as one of the most interesting and divisive newcomers to push through over the last five years. 

If you’re looking for a track which is apt to send the record collections of tech purists ablaze, yet still create devastation on the dancefloor, Frankee certainly delivers. ‘Skuttle’ stands for not just another stepping stone towards his album, but also for his entire career, creating a milestone which will resonate throughout his discography. It signposts a major feat for Frankee as a producer, an embodiment of what he has in store for 2017 and his lifetime dedication to drum & bass.

Whiney (feat. Inja) - Flash Light (Official Video)

Buy Talisman here: https://Whiney.lnk.to/Talismanyb


The official video for 'Flashlight' (feat. Inja) is part of Whiney's album 'Talisman'.

Whiney’s underground drum & bass flare has flourished since signing exclusively to Med School. Now he’s set and ready to present his incredible debut album ‘Talisman’ - a symbol of his dedication to D+B with a strong 12-track collection of dancefloor weapons.

The hard-hitting album opener ‘Talisman’ sets the pace with epic musicality, industrial bleeps and fat, meaty basslines. Matching up with the heavyweight business are ‘Archive’ and ‘Rock Hopper’. Plus ‘Minds Collide’ can’t be missed – a middle-eastern influenced half-time stepper that matches up with the exuding attitude of ‘Portal’ that's already received support from neuro giants Noisia.

Whiney’s joined forces with Hospital’s Brazilian mastermind on ‘Sun Kissed’, balancing choppy vocal snippets with Urbandawn’s signature percussions and growling subs. Turning to melancholic movements is ‘The Farthest Shore’ and ‘Never Too Long’ the latter a collaboration with long-term label mate Keeno and lead by a strong vocal topline from Whiney himself. A final collaborative effort comes from Med School’s resident MC Inja who’s brought his lyrical genius to Whiney’s deep roller ‘Flashlight’.

SIGGRAPH 2017 - Art Papers Preview

The Art Papers Program at #SIGGRAPH2017 investigate the roles of artists and the methods of art-making in an increasingly global, networked, and technologically mediated world. Art Papers contribute to our understanding of the history of art, inform contemporary artistic and critical practices, and anticipate and stimulate future trajectories. 


This year, the Program explores the contributions of artists to the development of virtual and immersive experiences, bridging the digital-physical interface through engaging our embodiment within virtuality: the emergence of consumer VR and AR, how immersive experiences are shaping the cultural landscape, and their potential contributions to human creativity in art, entertainment, analytics, gaming, medicine, science, engineering, robotics, space exploration, communication, tourism, transportation, and cultural exchange. This theme is supplemented with invited talks by emerging-technologies luminaries and panels of experts from industry and the arts.

Authors present Art Papers in 20-minute sessions with five minutes of Q&A. The papers are published in a special issue of Leonardo, The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology. The issue also includes visual documentation of the works exhibited in the Art Gallery. This publication coincides with SIGGRAPH 2017 and will mark the ninth year of collaboration between SIGGRAPH and Leonardo.

New for SIGGRAPH 2017, the Best Art Paper Award recognizes excellence in contributions to the literature on digital arts, computer graphics, and/or interactive techniques.

New York State of Mind: RRDBlocks & The Cycle Squad Maniaccs

You've probably seen them, either in the streets or online, weaving in and out of moving traffic, wheels in the air, pedals spinning wildly. It might even have made you flinch while sitting comfortably at home, how close they come to getting hit by oncoming cars. That risk is the point. Getting as near to the edge as possible.


Calling Harlem's Polo Grounds projects home, RRDBlocks picked up the Ruff Ryders name from the New York motorcyclists back in the day and applied it to bicycles. Along with his team of young riders, they're the bane of the NYPD, mobbing Uptown streets, doing wall rides on buses, and manual stalls on top of cabbies. RRDBlocks and The Cycle Squad Maniaccs are a team of kids that blend off-road racing culture with BMXing.

MASS APPEAL took a trip Uptown for our new series "New York State of Mind" to rock with them as they do the thing, pointing their tires to 12 o'clock with one hand hanging lazily below, skidding sideways in front of oncoming cars, and ollying other bikes. The trip isn't without injuries though, and DBlocks himself even gets nicked by a car that he fails to weave away from in time. But he gets up with a smile and keeps it moving.

The smiles never go away.
