UNKLE – Runaway (Pointman Re-edit) from UNKLE on Vimeo.

John Nolan, animatronics designer and director at Streetlight Films UK, whose credits include Where the Wild Things Are, Harry Potter, Clash Of The Titans, Hellboy 2, Warhorse, Brothers Grimm, Dr Who and Being Human, created an incredible UNKLE robot based on Futura’s Pointmen from the Science Fiction and Never Never Land albums.

The robot itself formed part of the ‘Daydreaming with …James Lavelle’ exhibition along with an accompanying video sound-tracked to the instrumental re-working of ‘The Runaway’ (Lupe’s Revenge). The original track appears on UNKLE’s most recent album ‘Where Did The Night Fall’ — with its vocal driven hip-hop counterpart featuring on The Answer EP.

Its splintered synths and shuddering bass-line create an aggression and energy which Nolan harnessed within the robot’s marching stomp towards the camera.

Sub City New York from sarah klein on Vimeo.

It’s a short film – a visual poem – about that moment in New York when you emerge from the subway and find yourself in a new and sometimes unexpected world. By Sarah Klein and Tom Mason.

The video for Sleigh Bells’ “Rill Rill” came out this past month and it is Just Excellent. Not since Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” have I heard a track so beautiful and melodious loaded with such clearly corrupt euphemisms.

Big congratulations goes out to Matuse Family Member, Jamie Sterling, for winning the 2010-2011 Big-Wave World Tour.
