La Roux - Bulletproof

The Music Video for Bulletproof by La Roux was released exclusively by the BBC on May 7th. I was excited to see the positive response to this Video. It has created somewhat of an internet sensation with it being re-posted and popping up all over the place. Well done too all the team at Mathematic TV for creating one pretty slick promo.

CLAPTON NOW RATED 18

Clapton is Good & Dalston is Gay!





We had the delight of visiting 71 Powerscroft Road that's next door to humble Live Art & Fashion House, for the Launch of MK|| a very special addition to our already very exciting street. The Launch was somewhat un-planned, the space un-finished. Disfunctional Flurescent Lights provided us with a light show, a smashed mirror ball lay in the corner and people danced to sounds of Youtube requests played from the MAC in the centre of this tardis of a space. We also had some sonic art played.

Meanwhile in Dalston I dropped bye the Supermarket to see how the decorating had turned out. I'm sorry to say I wasn't pleased to find that within 3 weeks this beauty of a construction sight I had the pleasure of visiting before had turned into a fully function GAY bar, with neon lights and a que as long as a Nando's Chicken PirriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiPirriiiiiiiiiiiii It just goes to show how quick London is at making somthing 'big'. I had hoped that the Credit crunch feel and the rawness of the minimal space had felt the weeks before would have continued a bit longer. Perhaps it was the paint fumes that were missing.

One thing's for certain right now, is that I prefer sawdust..... to glitter dust.

La Roux


We have had an extremely busy few months recently at the 'Old Peanut Factory' creating and with some truly exciting projects. Perhaps one of the most challenging was a visual treat of a collaboration with the wonderful La Roux, one of the most important new acts around at the momement. If you haven't already heard about them and their two amazing sinlgles Quicksand and In for the Kill check out their myspace now. We especially love the Quicksand (Joe and Will Ask Remix) fantastic on the dancefloor.

Bulletproof the 3rd single is still unreleased so unfortunately we cannot give you too much info on it, but hopefully we should be hearing more of this single in the forthcoming weeks. And look forward to you all seeing the new Video! We shall keep you posted. And well done for La Roux coming in a No.2 in the UK charts for two weeks running.
