Disco Rocks.

lovely little mirrored bling bling sculptures by LA artist/designer Steven Shein. Titled 'Rocktubes', they remind me of 3D kaleidoscopes. Nice piece on a visit to his studio here.

Blinding !!

South Side 17.36

Respect.

Great little documentary about DJ Derek. Derek was born & raised in Bristol, & during the late 50's & early 60's fell in love with the music & culture of the West Indian immigrants moving to Britain. He picked up the lingo by hanging around in barber shops & listening, & picked up the groove by buying & selling reggae records around the country.

Now in his late 60's Derek tours the country armed only with a backpack full of killer tunes, his bus pass & an unquenchable thirst for real ale. If you get the chance you have to go see him.
