Get sweaty, you know you want to

Should be a fun night. I have some Jazzercise VJ clips ready to go. Should complement the hip hop nicely.

Last Month at Hive was Halloween.
Spooky night of music and art.

It was called "Tales of Sin" and it was a good night with everyone dressed up and into the Halloween spirit. 2 small things, got my VJ named spelled wrong on the flyer "VJ Shepp" not "VJ Sepp". Also the way the room was set up the DJ booth was covered by fabric which I was projecting onto, because of this lots of people assumed I was the DJ. So I had to field requests ranging from K-pop to Aeroplanes by MIA. Also got told a few times that the music was "shit!". I ended up making a sign that read "I am NOT the DJ" which I just pointed to when people came up.

Last few months were Space Academy 3,4 and 5.

3 was the first one held at the Hive, which lead to my recent VJing at the Hive in Seoul. 3 was also the first one with 3D glasses given out which corresponded to some anaglyph 3D VJing from myself.

4 was down in Busan, venue was amazing at the Novotel Hotel nightclub. Treated very nicely down there. Superb show.

5 was the next night in Seoul back at the Hive, rocked it hard!

Next show is coming up sometime in December.

Here is a video I made to advertise the shows. Illustration from Mr Fudge animation by me.



To finish on some animation I entered the Marvel motion comics contest on Aniboom. Check it out below.

I am back at work on the Fade music video. Should get it finished by the end of the year.

Came and Coming Shows

I will start with an upcoming show first.

Space Academy 2 is on this Friday the 12th of June 2006. Links: Facebook Myspace This event will be at Club Tool in Hongdae in Seoul, South Korea.

From DJ Swingsett "SPACE ACADEMY... 2nd Edition with super DJ/Producer MILES MAEDA ( CHICAGO ) http://www.milesmaeda.com <<< Comin' FRIDAY, JUNE 12, with... The SPACE CADETS: DJ 'S' :: MYKIAN :: FELIX :: SWINGSETT & Visual Commander VJ SEPP... Many people ready for DIS 1 ! Watch the RIIIIIDE!!!!! :D =o ;]"



Last weekend the 6th of June I rocked Club Via in Hongdae again for Twisted which is a long running foreigner run DJ night. "A night of twisted tech, jackin & electro house!" It had a Star Trek theme and I cut up some old school Star Trek TAS (The Animated Series).Also some nuke and swine flu references to stay topical and twisted.



Last month on May 30th I VJed for Glue another long running party night here in Seoul. Again at Club Via. Another good night. I debuted some new Indian inspired video and animation in honour of the crazy poster.




On a final animation note. I won last months Animation Club!!! Secret Handshake Challenge. Check out my video about pants below. Sorry about the singing!

What?

It has been a very long time since I updated this blog that no one reads.

In my last post I mentioned my band "Brokin Machin". We played a couple of times at Hard Rock Cafe in Seoul and rocked the house on one occasion and vaguely entertained on another couple. We got a good video out of it thought. Perhaps look forward to seeing some more Brokin Machin in the near future.



I also mentioned Konkrete Jungle in my last post. VJed there and killed it, had lots of people coming up to give me respect for the visuals. A little of my visuals made it into the video for the night.



I ended up VJing a lot for The Wise Guys which is a great rock band based here in Seoul made up of really talented musicians. We played a lot at Hard Rock Cafe in Seoul and a few other places around town. Most of the other gigs didn't get much visual love but my VJing really shone at Hard Rock. Hopefully it will open up again soon and we get back to being the semi house band. Check a video with some of my visuals.



I VJed at the start of this year for DJ Vadim and Yarah Bravo as One Self for their recent Seoul show. Really cool night with great music although the main promoters Riskei ended up being dicks and I still haven't been payed! The Korean Times wrote an (online) article about the show here. It was a great show from the underground hip hop legends with awesome support from Windy City (cool Korean reggae band) , J-Path, Solegene, and Mr. Fudge. Take a look at the video but watch the sound, not the best.



I VJed the other evening at Space Academy which is a new party night here in Seoul. It was at Club Tool in Hongdae. The DJ's killed it with great tunes all night combined with some cool live music components. The DJs were Swingsett, DJ_S, Mykian, Felix and the special guest DJ: Madrid from Chicago.



This is turning into a massive post. I will try and make a separate post for each event from now on.

Another cool night I VJed at here in Seoul was Glue at Club Via. A very nice club with a good VJ set up and all the people there made me feel very welcome. I hope to VJ again there soon. The DJs for the night were Seoul Secret Service supported by DJs Airmix & Kuma & Eugene Blake.



Also quick animation news, the new Animation Club!!! presents Secret Handshake had kicked off in Melbourne at Loop Bar. I am going to try and enter each month. The last month's topic was dinosaurs. The next months topic is pants.

I will leave you with my video for the dinosaur one. Thanks for reading!!!
