3 tracks from the Da Bank show this week

Favourite tracks from Rob Da Bank’s show this week that are worth a mention…

Golden Fable – very excited about. They did 3 tracks live at Maida Vale for Mr Da Bank, Always Golden, Be Alive and The Chill Pt.2. Although I preferred the 2 others more, this is still ace and is their latest single. Hail from North Wales + you can download for free from their website or buy a limited edition copy (only 200 made).

Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell — Stand Up Show from their album Kite. Check it out on iTunes.

Crystal Fighters – Champion Sound (Mustang mix)

In two minds which I prefer, this mix or the original version, this is much ‘cooler’ but the other one is so upbeat… anyhow heard this around for a bit, definitely played by Rob Da Bank though – favourite radio dj out there at the moment. Crystal Fighters on iTunes.

Check the original below…video shared from Crystal Fighters

Debbie Smyth

“Debbie Smyth is textile artist most identifiable by her statement thread drawings; these playful yet sophisticated contemporary artworks  are created by stretching a network of threads between accurately plotted pins. Her work beautifully blurs the boundaries between fine art drawings and textile art, flat and 3D work, illustration and embroidery, literally lifting the drawn line off the page in a series of “pin and thread” drawings.

Project featured is Fly Away Home: 8 metres wide by 3.5 metres high

Created for Stroud International Textile Festival and installed as part of the exhibition, “WordPlay” at the Museum in the Park, Stroud. Artists showcased tease the written word into tactile images, interpreting their observations with stitch and mark, challenging the viewer to seek fresh ways to see their world.”

VIB event by Soon

Possibly one of the best things I have seen for a while. Loads of photos on their Behance page, here are a selection…just amazing…

“VIB is a life sciences research institute, based in Flanders, Belgium. They perform basic research with a strong focus on translating scientific results into pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. For their fifteenth anniversary, we did the entire event branding, for which we used only chalk and a huge blackboard. For this event we also designed a box with nine books in it. For the books only we made more then 200 large chalk drawings.

“Soon is a Belgian studio that creates visual identities in combination with photography. Most of our work is hand crafted and afterwards transformed into a digital image.”
