This is exactly what it looks like… DIY electro generator. Turn your keyboard into a French Electro drum machine, complete with massive rave sounds, huge thumping kicks and 90s vocal and piano samples. A hip hop kit can’t be far behind…

Talk about an old technology embracing a new technology, these iPod cases made from old 45 RPM records literally do that. Made from a vinyl 45 with a clear plexiglass window and a cork liner, these iPod cases finally take those old records off the shelf and put them to good use. Note how the center hole of the record has been lined up exactly with the scroll wheel of the iPod. These cool cases were made by Contexture Design, but unfortunately they are completely sold out of the 45 cases- although they still have (the significantly less exciting) blank cassette tape iPod Nano cases.

This week we’re delighted to introduce his most fragrant straight outta Lex Records Will Skeaping the man responsible for all the cool shit you listen too and now blogging for Exit Music.
UK radio presenter Zane Lowe has apparently escaped from BBC studio captivity and in his absence bands and musicians have been filling in.
Recent replacements have included Damon Albarn who debuted new material from Gorillaz and wisely waxed lyrical about this gem, Omar Souleyman – Leh Jani, check the video opposite.
The album Highway To Hassake album on Sublime Frequencies label.
Gorillaz will apparently be taking a middle-eastern field trip in March and they’ll be hot on the heals of London based hip hop producer Valhalla – who spent most of last year collecting samples in Syria for his forthcoming album. With World Music reclaimed from the yogurt-weavers and one of the worlds biggest bands on board, this could be just the pop-cultural exchange we need.
Yalla! Yalla!
