Living Inside The Speaker (A Dubstep Documentary)


Even casual fans of dubstep can relate to a title like Living Inside the Speaker, which happens to be the name of a dubstep documentary that’s been getting some love of late.

Two Mashup Mafia crew members—who simply go by Mike and Mark—created the film a couple years ago, but recently decided to release it to the masses for free.

Interviewing the likes of DJ Pinch, Peverelist, Bubonic, Hench Crew, Stealth, Dub Boy, Skream, and others, the filmmakers track the dubstep scene in Bristol, England, often considered second only to London as a U.K. leader of the genre.

The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall


By far the most bizarre book I have ever read. The title itself is play on words of "Rorschach Tests", which are inkblot tests, meaning, i think, that the author intends everyone to interpret this book in their own way and take away a very personal experience from reading it. Fantastic stuff. Buy it or borrow it. Its a must-read
