1987-1992, to be perfectly honest, it’s a period in my life I don’t really have strong memories about. My guess is around that time the weather was always nice and flowers were blossoming all day every day. Whilst yours truly locked himself in, to actively be involved in the reconstruction of the world on miniature-scal [...]

Tomorrow (Friday) you’ll find a special issue of Le Focus Vif Magazine in stores, Which will have me running to my magazine dealer by the crack of dawn. The issue is entirely illustrated by 17 contemporary artists, many of whom you’ll have read about on this here very blog. Here’s Dave Decat‘s contribution, which is… [...]

This is how Hongkong’s ghetto used to look like: Hak Nam, City of Darkness, the old Walled City of HongKong’s Kowloon was demolished in 1993 and had a strong reputation beingt a haven for criminals and lowlifes. It was said that the city was so dense you could walk across the rooftops without ever having [...]

Formerly known as Antwerp’s last record ninja, internationally acclaimed cratedigger and backbone of the After Hours collective our man Ame continues to amaze us. Him and partner-in-crime Flo (equally legendary in the fields of sneaker freaking and dusty groove inspecting) are preparing the launch of A Cut Above. A Cut Above promises to be Antwerp’s [...]

You’re sleeping if you haven’t subscribed yet: it’s free, it’s classy it’s delivered to your friggin’ doorstep on top of all that, you’re being served ace quality content and you know it. Then again, for the internationals readers, and for the [...]

The rise and fall of the 1970′s Blaxploitation filmmaking era. Now that’s a documentary. And where else to learn about it than on this here favourite blog of yours? For all you Quentin Tarantino fans, Pam Grier lovers and Tupac Shakur afficionados, it’s all there, sit down, relax and dig it:

Remember the photos of the monstruous Japanese draining system? In the same line of amazingness, check out this set of photos, dedicated to Japanese highways, more specifically the junctions and intersections. Over 70 photos in total, so I made you a selection, now drop your jaw and just go: “huh?”

A little while ago, I received this email, supposedly by a clever marketeer, asking me for my postal address, to send over a letter about a mystery to be unfolded in Brussels, in the months to come. Always a fan of snail mail, I replied where to find me. To break it down to you, [...]

A message to all smokers: stand still whilst smoking your smoke. It’s especially stupid to make wild airy gestures with your smoking hand, on a crowdy dancefloor. A cigarette in the eye, is most likely to catch you by surprise, always. I think it burnt some eyelashes away. Feels like I caught a good punch. [...]

Not until quite recently I didn’t understand the whole sneaker craze. But then I was introduced into this culture type of thing by a couple of addicts, and well, for a part I can understand their obsessive shoe collecting. Personally I’ll probably stick to my Wallies for the ages to come, yet the sneaker culture [...]

Now that you’ve seen Wild Style, graffiti’s classic cinema piece, it’s time to dig just a little deeper, with the father of all graffiti documentaries. Tony Silver & Henry Chalfant present: Style Wars: “Style Wars gives a remarkable view into the graffiti subculture (as well as urban New York City life in the 1980s), documents [...]

New York City… Rooftops… Here I go again…This time around water tanks are what’s up. I just found out about this book: Water Tanks of Chicago: A Vanishing Urban Legacy, which is about water tanks in Chicago, so I went looking for more of this, and it seems like I’m not the first. Ineke Hauer [...]

New York City… Rooftops… Bees… That’s red hot on the Ghost Dog alert, if you ask me: “Urban Gardening in its most extreme form: David Graves tends to half a million bees on the rooftops of New York City.” (Don’t forget to join Ghost’s Facebook group if you didn’t do so already) Credits: jynxproductions Thanks [...]

With the Summer kicking in with a blast, I figured there’s no sense in putting any more long video features up here. Then again, it might be raining on the other side of the world, right? I’d dug quite deep with the latest long plays, so it’s time to hit you with some classic material [...]

José James‘ debut ‘The Dreamer’ is most likely to top many a 2008′s album-of-the-year listing. And only rightfully so. Without a doubt my favourite late-night music of the moment. Feel the vibe as Brownswood just put the first video online: Park Bench People: As for José, catch him live at Het Depot in Leuven next [...]

Quite proud to announce, Tuesday 10th of June, On-Point TV has been invited to the Contre-Temps Festival in Strasbourg, France. As a part of the Panimix night, a selection of video features will be screened in the Strasbourg cinema. On Tuesdaynight the festival is envestigating the link between cinema and music, with a killer list [...]

On YouTube, it seems to be a popular practice, to download videos and put them online again. Making doubles, or something. I’ve never understood this, unless with illegal content, where these second versions could then function as a back-up, maybe… But as of today, On-Point TV seems to be copy-pasted for the fist time! This [...]

It’s been awfully quiet over here, hasn’t it? I’m sorry for that. Really, I am. Rest assured though, we’re still on it, more than ever actually. It’s just a bit too early to speak upon it, and I haven’t found any time to write some proper blog posts recently, so I prefer to hold silence [...]

On weekdays it’s around 2am, a couple of hours later in the weekends. That’s the time my local nightshop closes down. I know this because the nightshop happens to be my opposite neighbour. Nighttime also happens to be when I get a lot of video editing done. Now imagine this big bright white neon lighting [...]
