Attention all Grimers / Dubsteppers: Photographer Simon Wheatley has a nice gallery up which documents his time hanging out in South London. Apparently these large knives are popular with the kids these days. (Link via Futurefeeder)
Meanwhile, Matthew Herbert has some great videos documenting the recording of his latest record up on his site. There are clips of him recording drums in a hot air balloon, under water and while speeding in his car.
As a bonus there's also footage from the excellent Matthew Herbert Big Band's 2003 performance at The Queen Elizabeth Hall. (Link)
WOW. Doron, thanks for posting this. Really gripping stuff and put together with an acute sense of style. Really, really great!

Good lookin out!! Interesting stuff going on in South London underground - dubstep & grime have essentially taken over the pirate airwaves, just like Jungle did in the early 90s. Anyone travelling to London who'd like to check this out - hit up Third Bass or DMZ in Brixton if you get the chance. Unbelievable sound system @ the latter, apparently....

Thank you for this link man. I really think that this is one of the more interesting posts I have stumbled upon. I was just in London, so I related to the topics of grime and the underground scene with awe really. I will now proceed to go and buy a Dizzy Rascal cd.
