The Foreign Exchange 's sophmore LP, Leave It All Behind, is out now....and it's a must buy!! This album is on constant repeat in my house, work, uni...everywhere! lol
A video has been released for the album's debut single "Daykeeper" featuring all round fly girl, Muhsinah (Please check her out if you haven't already). The video isn't high with drama but I love the blue tone effect and it works well with the song.
Directed by Salih Abdul-Karim and Dana Kinlaw. Edited by Salih Abdul-Karim.
A while ago I posted a video by a fly chickMishal Mooreand since then I've been eagerly awaiting her mixtape. It was due to come out in September, but unfortunately you have to wait a little while longer :-( The good news is Mishal has been kind enough to provide links for 6 songs...check it out!
The London Design Festival was established in 2003 as an annual event to celebrate and promote London and the UK’s design creativity.
The festival brings together a diverse and unique group of partner organisations from across a range of sectors to stage London's biggest annual design event. Each year it enables new collaborations which bring exciting new projects covering every aspect of the creative industry and beyond. Last year an estimated 350,000 visitors attended Festival events and its supposed to be double that amount this year.
Designer Block Usually this show takes place in a darkened, dilapidated industrial building somewhere in the East End, but this year the renegades of the London Design Festival are moving uptown to Covent Garden. You can also find a Designersblock pop-up shop on Selfridges' 4th Floor. No 1, The Piazza, Covent Garden, WC2E
