AngelBreaks - Sex in London’s ear

Sony Audio Europe have this week launched a Fantasy Festival game based on the successful model of fantasy football but inspired by the brand’s passion for music and sound.

It is an entirely digital campaign and via its partnership with Last.FM it asks users to put together their ultimate festival line-up, which is then scored according to their acts real life popularity, i.e. online activity.

AngelBreaks has decided to indulge and you see can our festival line-up in the picture above and here. We have gone more with our heads than our hearts, (although we really are secret Cheryl Cole fans,) in a bid for not only the many prizes on offer, but of course the glory also. How can the holy musical triumvirate of MJ, Justice and Daft Punk fail us?!

My only cricitism of the website is that there isn’t an option to navigate through the leagues of available artists. When our budget was starting to get very stretched after dropping a bomb on the ubiquitous Kings of Leon, it would have been great to file through a list of the artists that we could afford, instead of having to search blindly.

Nonetheless, we are very excited about the prospect of this campaign and we encourage you to get involved. It is running for the next six months and hopefully we will see you at the summit of our digital festival superstardom!

Malibu Drinks Mixer

Malibu has managed to digitally hybridise the art of DJing with the art of cocktail making as part of their new marketing project, Radio Maliboom Boom. They have created an app which is an interactive mixer interface, allowing users to mix cocktail recipes with corresponding beats. With the use of EQs and faders you can even finesse the 85 flavours/sounds into your own unique compositions.

[Guardian Article]

We are very excited to discover that Soundwave festival in Croatia, where AngelBreaks performed this summer, has been voted in the ‘Top Ten festivals to try in 2010′ by the Guardian (see link to article above.)

We had a brilliant experience and still have to pinch ourselves that we came on to stage after the legendary DJ Format. We’re not worthy!

But as a general point, massive props need to go to our our good friends at New Bohemia, who ran the whole show exceptionally. They managed to get a stellar cast of bands and DJs to this eastern outpost and they really did harness all the good vibes that a great festival needs to survive.

Bravo Soundwave. See you in 2010.

Evening chaps. I decided to take a brief break from rocking back and forth in the dark, crying, to point you towards this little stab of magnificence provided by Simian Mobile Disco. By now we’ve all heard a fair portion of their new LP, but a new development has arisen in the form of a lovely new HD video for new single ‘Audacity of Huge’ featuring Chris Keating. I won’t bore you with the grisly details of either the track, nor the odd rash that has appeared near my left nipple (It’s shaped like Lithuania!). Instead, I will simply post the video, which has it’s definition level set to high. Especially good news if your “bands” happen to be “broad”.

I’ve resized the video to fit this blog, you’ll have to click it to receive it’s full girth.
