DJs B-Cause & Matthew Africa | Soul Boulders 2
Nov 15th
My month has been made — Soul Boulders 2 from the homies B-Cause & Matthew Africa dropped today. This is the sequel to volume 1 which dropped some years back and was one of the most popular DJ mixes during my adamant attempt at giving Amoeba back to the DJ scene. I feel like I was calling those dudes for a restock every damn week, along with their ‘Night Of The Remix’ and ‘R. Kelly’ tributes.
Preview the mix here…

DJ PLATURN X JOHN COYNE | ‘THE BONES’
Nov 3rd
“DJ PLATURN X JOHN COYNE | THE BONES”
An original audio/visual composition between yours truly & the uber talents of John Coyne.
This project, which took several months to make, consists of over 90,000 HDR still images along with HDR video.
DJ PLATURN X JOHN COYNE from John Coyne on Vimeo.
A brief explanation of the title: the ebony keys of a piano always reminded me of bones along with a sort of skeletal feel of the pictures taken, as in the inner workings of a society and those aspects of your day to day that tend to be ignored but can be viewed in such intense detail when you splice 90,000 HDR still images into a 4 minute and 44 second video.
Enjoy and please help spread the word!
