David Lynch, not many directors out there enjoy such a dedicated following as this cult director. Personally, I still need to see a couple of his classics, and I’m not up to par with all of his side-projects yet. But I recogn myself a modest fan. So without further ado.. Tune in and for one [...]

Poetry. Slam. Honestly, I’m not to big about it. But after watching Kate Tempest her ‘Line In The Sand’ I caugth myself staring at the screen, all goosebumped. That’s enough to share this video. A rugged boost of energy and passion. Real proper UK styling: “See I’m all city, except I got the hair of [...]

One of the most interesting producers out there at the moment, Martyn, is starring in his first shortfilm, which goes by the same name as his album debut: Great Lenghts, shot by Ramón Gieling. Great Lengths is a tribute to Martyn’s parents, his father, former PSV team-leading scorer Gerrie Deijkers, who died of heart falure [...]

Donny Hathaway, unsung hero of soul, with classics like Little Ghetto Boy, The Ghetto and Roberta Flack’s debut album and work with Curtis Mayfield under his belt, to name just a few (download this tribute mix if you want a nice overview of his career). A lifetime overshadowed by the darkside it seems: “During the [...]

Staff Benda Bilili is a group of street musicians who are paraplegic polio victims living in and around the grounds of Kinshasa Zoo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They call their disability a state of mind. Leader Ricky has dreams of his group becoming the best band in Congo Kinshasa. A documentary crew followed [...]

Downtown Calling was just brought hom to day, only to premiere to a sold-out venue. This sure looks like a must-see documentary for anybody interested in what is most likely the most amazing outburst of creativity in one period of time, in one specific place: downtown New York, 1977 – 1985. (To know the background [...]

Wondering if a rambling movement like the one in the following documentary teaser exists in Europe… Surely it can’t be an American-only thing, right? It sure looks like a beautiful occupation, some sort of mini-graffiti, a lot less screaming for attention, a lot less ego-driven, yet at the same time…very, very much alike. Watch it: [...]

“We had no idea what that song was about, we just needed a b-side.” Well, if only more b-sides like this were made, creating a trademark sound for other genres to grow out off. Melvin Bliss’s Synthetic Substitution is one of those classic breakbeats you’ve heard over a gazillion times, sampled by your favourite hiphop [...]

Like two years ago, I went to Dour Festival (and Werchter too, but that’s less relevant for this blog) to shoot some interviews for the sites of Humo and TéléMoustique. Not all went well, not all were deep, but that’s all part of the festivalgame, isn’t it? The hectic schedules, the freestyled questions, the artists [...]

Fela. One of the artists we should all own as much albums off as possible. For the music, for the message, for the artwork, for the energy. A while ago, you’ve seen this documentary ft. the man himself and all of his wives. Now, with ‘Fela!’, the musical playing on Broadway, more videos are put [...]

Always big enthusiasts of ‘making-ofs’ over here at the headquarters, I happened to stumble upon this impressive series of photographs. Of what seems to be like a real doll factory. Fascinating to say the least, for all you DIY cats out there, get inspired, or cough up a solid $6000. Her lips are full and [...]

Almost a year ago, when we were vi-si-ting New-York City, Matthew at turntablelab tipped us there was a guy in town, which we really should go check out and maybe even meet: Turns out the guy was a boy, and so the day after, we connected with 17-year old Kyle Hall, who was in NYC [...]

At OFFF’10, genius came into play during the Art+Com lecture, when a professor of the institute not only showed how they had made a huge BMW installation and how the first tests dramatically failed, with metal balls crashing into the ceiling, but when after that he presented ‘The Image Fulgurator’, a brilliantly executed piece of [...]

Knife Party is an animation collective, that’s been boiling up a little buzz lately, most notably for their ‘Coalition of the Willing‘ film. In this 15-minute animation, their aim is to explore the ways in which online activism can help in the combat against climat change in a post-Copenhagen world. With the main premise being: [...]

Last Sunday On-Point Records was invited on national radio, as a part of Lefto’s season closing on Studio Brussel. JtotheC & the Bad Mothas were in the building, Nouk was in the building, Title was in the building, LuiGi was in the building, and most notably Delv!s was in the building, alongside the entire Uphigh [...]

Here’s something that wasn’t discussed the last time I met mr. Flying Lotus (watch the video) : the art of his Cosmogramma album. All is explained by visual philosopher Leigh J. McCloskey in this beautiful video. I don’t think I fully understand all of his words, but the art is beautiful nonetheless, especially the vibe [...]

This Thursday ‘Soul Boy’ is premiering in Bozar, Brussels. Send me a mail with a little motivation on why you’d absolutely need to see this movie, and maybe you’ll win one of the 5 tickets! Soul Boy? What’s that all about then? Well, it’s a modern fairy tale, which looks brilliantly well told: Distraught at [...]

Kid Sublime is back! And back with a masterplan, which on-point fully endorses, of course! Download The Alicia Beattape, 1h10min of pure soul, produced by the Kid, on the keys, drums, bass and vocals. I’m feeling this passionate magnus opus of Amsterdam’s finest producer/composer: Download ‘Kid Sublime presents The Alicia Beattape’ (and don’t forget the [...]

Gil Scott-Heron’s concert in Brussels last month is arguably the best concert I’ve seen in a long time, and with that, I’ve grown even a bigger fan of the man than I already was. His latest album ‘I’m New Here’ has slowly but surely grown under my skin, regardless what the critics say, the album [...]

Rough Trade, the name is a myth and a landmark in music’s history. That’s what you’ll probably know already, just because it’s that big a name. But it takes a 1h30 documentary to fully come to comprehend the importance of what the founders of Rough Trade have done. True pioneers. An inspiration and a must-see [...]

The Scraper Bike phenomenon has been going on for a while now, but it wasn’t until I got to see this mini-documentary about it, that I realized the beauty of it. A bit like the speaker bikes in Queens, NYC a while ago. But then again, very different. Watch it: “In order to become a [...]
