Busy P - Procrastinator

The Ed Banger boys are back in town with an all new compilation, called Let The Children Techno, and it marks a return to form for the infamous French label.

The whole compilation marks a return to form for Ed Banger Records, it’s weird and wonderful and not the usual blend we’d expect from them.

Sneaker + Shoe = PUMA BONANZA DIGGER LX

Puma have released a reworked version of their Bonaza that’ll come in a pack of three. The pack manages to achieve classic styling on this pack, as Puma get this formula on point and show their best work to date.

They feature the unique Bonanza stamp embossed on a distressed tongue- preferably in gold – and antique metal hardware by the lacelets, giving the kicks a work-boot look.

Frankie says don't relax.........PARTY !!

So the hangover has finally gone from what can be described only as an amazing night with Frankie & The Heartstrings......... they did not disappoint. With some of the best new music with the odd classic thrown in there for good measure, they made this a night to remember !!

Big thanks to Frankie & The Heartstrings and Co. for coming along and putting on a top night. A good set of lads.

Also thanks to Kris Heslop and Chris Parkes for their DJ slots.

Cheers to everyone that turned up and got involved xx

Nas & Damian Marley - As we enter

Korg iMS app for ipad !!

Color me impressed. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants more than just a toy for making music on the iPad. I will definitely integrate some of the audio from this into my own workflow.

With MIDI implementation coming in iOS4 how the iMS-20 reacts to that development and the live capabilities it presents are yet to fully reveal themselves.

Turn up the heat !!

Stone Island Heat Reactive Jacket. This garment has been treated with a thermo-sensitive coating that changes colour at high temperatures. Beginning at 27°C the molecules within the microcapsules of the external strata undergo a rotation modifying the light course. The colour of the garment gradually begins to morph from a first colour to a second brighter colour. When the garment returns to normal temperature it recovers its original colour. The possible wearing off and shading variation of the material will not modify its thermo-sensible characteristics.

Jacket is available to buy @ http://www.vanmildert.com/

Eagulls - Council Flat Blues

Leeds quintet Eagulls make a shambling racket akin to No Age doubling up with a studlier Cloud Nothings — or something older and scuzzy from the ’90s Pacific Northwest.

cassius - i love you so

Re-birth of a legend

Persol is an Italian eyewear company specializing in sunglasses The name is derived from "per il sole," which, in Italian, means "for the sun." Formed in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, Persol originally catered to pilots and sports drivers. Presently, the company is famous for its durable sports sunglasses. Its trademark is the silver arrow, and several of the company's glasses feature this symbol.

Steve McQueen (below) popularized two Persol models: the 714 folding sunglasses and closely styled 649. He wore a special pair of 714's with blue lenses in The Thomas Crown Affair and was often photographed wearing the 649 model.

The Castells. - Romance

The Castells are a new bunch of upstarts from Durham. They've just finished recording their first EP titled 'Relatively Unknown'................ Turn up the sound and check these guys out !!

Frankie & The Heartstrings - Hunger

Homegrown....

Frankie and The Heartstrings are a five piece band from Sunderland. You might have seen them supporting The Futureheads on tour, you might have seen them at a festival or you might not have seen them at all - either way you’re bound to love them. Their mix of quick fire wit and smart indie pop combines with a soppy sentimental heart and romantic sensibility to make for a quintessentially British indie band.

Noizu are proud to join forces with the band for a live DJ set @ Osbournes bar (behind Van Mildert Durham)

............... The noise is set to go up a notch. Get involved !!

Big sorry from noizu

As the blog shows we ain't been keeping up as late (technical difficulties)!! A lot has been going on in noizuworld....

Movember was a huge success. Facial hair at it's best. Great turn out. And also the important bit...... Money and awareness was raised for the event.

December we stepped up a gear. The Castells played live. Packed to the rafters not a dry mouth in the house.

.....So after the festive season (and a drunken one it was) we've recharged our batteries and are back........ LETS PARTY !!

Ps....... Massive thanks to The Castells, Peter Warrier, Rob Oxley and DJ "shit lips" Mr Chris Parkes

....... And also a big thanks to everyone who came along and got involved !!

Keep it up !!

Noizu present........ Frankie and the Heartstrings

Ready to start feeling all gooey about homegrown grassroots indie? I know, it's been a while, right?

Frankie And The Heartstrings are the excellent Sunderland band who've been putting the lead back in the pencil of proper indie fans up and down this fair nation - a yellsome clatter here, a horsed Geordie swoon.

Noizu will host Frankie and the Heartstrings live DJ set @ Osbournes Durham.

......... Get ready for a party !!
