Kleptonite - my first VJ gig

(Picture is me VJing a Koyaanisqatsi vs Cosmic Voyage cloud sequence by Simon Payroll...nicked it off his FB but I'm sure he won't mind ;-)


Last night the VJ gig rocked and I'm definitely doing that again, lots of wowed people coming up to me after and I think 3-4 years of work kind of clicked together in that moment...Not to say DJing has gotten boring but I've not felt excitement about this sort of thing since the Bastard days...also I think we're a bit in a bubble - many people hadn't really seen my sort of video mashup, nor got mashup as a concept at all. Which in London in 2012 is pretty amazing...got comments after from people who quite rightly loved Soundhog/Freelance Hairdresser video and my video for Edit, which was great since Ian Fondue was there.

Here's my video I did for the night for Monolith's excellent remix of Stevie Wonder's Superstition - here rocking out with the kids on Sesame Street which was one of the subthemes of my set:

I even I worked Obama into the VJ set with the Vote For Black Thunder over No Church in The Wild, as well as Stonewall movie clips (which along with Celluloid Closet which also made an appearance is very important to me). Yes I did some topical/heavy stuff at the start, even some Kenneth Anger and Len Lye got rinsed, or whatever the VJ term is for that. I even got applause at the end of several videos, which made me giggle and was mad...

Also they were crying 'one more set' after The Kleptones. That's a new one :-D



I said Sesame Street was a theme - here's my new video for the Pinball Count remix by Braces Tower, also an exclusive to Kleptonite:

and I've done a new video for Burn Yr Radio:

But Batty Dub didn't have time for (nor another of my new videos!) so next time - there will be a next time, and very soon I think. Even had someone come up after and try and hire me!

Posting another 3 videos over the next few days so watch this space. Well that space over there on Vimeo or Radio Clash, or something....
