Morning Warm Up

Nice little bit of parkour and tricking courtesy of Dustin Shepard (one half of the team who made my Bar9 Remix video)

Ace & Vis Interview

Caught up with these lads in Bangor the other week...

Example - Dirty Face (Benga Remix)

Just promise me you won't listen to this on laptop speakers. Use decent headphones or play on a heavy system...

This remix is available on the bonus cd if you order my album now from HMV.co.uk

HIS CLANCYNESS

"Jonathan Clancy is from Ottawa but now he lives in northern Italy. He makes pop music that is marinated in reverb and double-tracked vocals. Taking the most compelling attributes of the past fifty years of Western pop, he turns them into something his own"

Nike x A.P.C

Two of my favourite brands collaborate to create something truly delicious for the human foot...



AVAILABLE THIS AUTUMN

Oh and whilst we're on footwear - here's some creps that you probably won't look cool in - the La Colorama Graff Hi-Top Sneaker by Pierre Hardy >>>

STREET ART IPHONE APP

Is there a bit of legendary graf lurking just around the corner?? Just by simply switching on your GPS this App will let you know all the nearest street art spots. However it's not clear which cities this works in to me yet. I doubt for instance that you can switch this App on in Milton Keynes and be directed to the undiscovered Banksy Chicken hiding in the oven in the Greggs on the High St...

TOUR VID 13: "Science With Melvin"

"What's it like when you fling a can of Diet Coke at a brick wall at 230mph !!!??"

Watch Science with Melvin to find out...

Big Boi - Shutterbug

One of the best music videos i've seen this year...

POCKET TV

Filmed this recently with Matt Edmondson for Sony Ericsson Pocket TV

It's pretty joke. Don't believe everything that comes out of my mouth though...

ADIRISE

You may have noticed me rocking these recently on tour - i've got em in Black and Red

Kickstarts (Bar9 Remix Official Video)

Having studied film at university and also had involvement in all my own videos (including the video for Me & Mandy which took 4 days to shoot, £500, about 50 cast & crew and a weeks editing) I know just how much time and effort has gone into the video below

A short while back I noticed that some talented dudes based in LA were knocking out some pretty impressive martial arts / parkour videos, they were fast-paced, homemade, low-budget but utterly brilliant. They were also nearly always edited to a dubstep soundtrack

I got in touch with them via YouTube and after a few email exchanges I sent them my Bar9 remix and they wrote me a delicious video treatment.

A month later they delivered this

A truly astonishing piece of gritty cinema made for next to no money

TOUR VID 12: "Hooligans Live @ Bristol Academy"

TWO ANGLE

Got sent some wicked bits the other day from Two Angle

This crazy Paris Hilton meets Disney tee being my fav...



AVAILABLE FROM HERE

NIKE GLADIATEUR MID

Now if you read this blog a lot you'll know that I regularly post pics of my fav new creps

I occasionally post pics of truly disgusting footwear as well

This is one of those occasions

Meet the new Nike Gladiateur Mid, clearly capitalising (about a year late) on the female trend to rock gladiator inspired sandals

But they've also spelt Gladiator like a bunch of spazzo's - the french spelling does not make these any more likeable

MASSIVE NO FOR ME SORRY

The Black Keys - Tighten Up

This is one of the most charming videos I've seen in recent times...

Metric - Gold Guns Girls

RADIO 1's BIG WEEKEND - PICS, VIDEOS & MP3's

Clip of my Live Set...



Clip of my Live Lounge (including cover of The Big Pink's Domino's)...

20 GIGS DOWN. 14 TO GO

I haven't posted on here for over a week. I'm so sorry. My laptop got injured in a beer incident backstage and as a result I haven't been able to stay up to date with the blogging and tour video diaries

The tour so far has been pretty delicious. Every show has been banging with Preston, Norwich, Glasgow, London & Bristol particular highlights. Manchester was messy too but a young girl got carried out on a stretcher due to heat exhaustion. Poor thing

I now have another 14 gigs to get through before my single KICKSTARTS is released on June 13th. Please pre-order this now if you haven't already on iTunes

This weekend I was at Radio 1's BIG WEEKEND. And it was quite simply A BIG WEEKEND. Too much fun was had. Too many faces to remember. My lasting memory will be of Chris Moyles giving me a big sweaty hug and getting to touch Cheryl Cole's arm. I also caught up with my pals Tinie and Pro Green who's new videos you can watch below...

PHOTOS FROM MY ALBUM PLAYBACK PARTY

TOUR VID 11: "Cocktail with Mario The Guy"

TOUR VID 10: "The Reading Factor"

Wire had no chance, I was rocking the Avatar creps...

LIQUID MOUNTAINEERING

This is hilarious. Such a genius piece of viral promotion for Hi-Tek Footwear

WHEELCHAIR PITCH INVASION

Just you wait til it gets to 30secs in

A pitch invasion happens. And a lad in a wheelchair wants to join in the action. Love the fact his dad gives him a clip round the ear as he wheels him away...

TOUR VID 8: "Kickstarts - Live on stage from Norwich"

I know you all want the jokes videos but I figured as I'm on tour I should actually post some footage from one of the gigs

So here goes...

(I love the fact there's small youth crowd surfing even before the song has started)

NEW DRAKE

VANS 'OFF THE WALL' ALOMAR & BEDFORD

DELICIOUS !!

FUTURE NO.1

TOUR VID 8: "Example & Ed Sheeran Freestyle The Nando's Skank""

Ed Sheeran is a serious talent. He will be running tings very soon, you just watch!

He supported me in Norwich tonight (one of the best gigs of the tour so far btw !) and the two of us decided we should head out the back of the venue and record a little freestyle about our favourite thing... Nandos

Ed will be supporting me on my Uk tour for the dates Bristol to Oxford

TOUR VID 7: "Sanitizing The Ear"

Don't ask...

Primary 1 - Princess

Been a fan of this guy for ages. Met him a few years ago after one of his gigs and I'm still eagerly awaiting his debut album. This song and video is enough to keep me satisfied for a while though...

NIKE AIR PRESTO RETURNS

When I was about 18 I had 5 or 6 pairs of these

They are the comfiest things ever and made you look like a rudeboy with ease

These orange/black badboys are launching soon in select retailers. I have nicknamed them "The Burnt Ends"

BANKSY IN TORONTO

Nice bit of social-economic commentary...
