Some awesome footage of some night surfing. The stars are amazing. I wish we got to see the stars in the city.

Another El Mac Vietnam world tour video. Seriously this dude's skill is incredible. That kind of control with a spray can!?!?

ME AT NINE, PERFORMING TO MADONNA IN SUMMER '91! from Robert Jeffrey on Vimeo.

This kid has moves. Definitely not holding back, that's a good age, he doesn't give a fuck. He will vogue the shit out of some Madonna and not with one hint of irony. It's a beautiful thing.

Spy - Beat Assailant (feat Ben l'Oncle Soul) - Official Video from discograph on Vimeo.

Ben L'oncle will be playing at Stern Grove this Sunday. He will be opening for Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, so it's kind of the greatest lineup for a free concert ever. Guaranteed awesome instrumentation and soulful grooves.

BEN L'ONCLE SOUL -SOULMAN- English Version (Official Music Video) from // Videodrome on Vimeo.

Just by checking out Ben's videos and the aesthetic he has chosen to employ shows me that we will get along. His album is awesome by the way. It has a Donny Hathaway, Lauren Hill, John Legend blend going with his own signature coolness that just ties it all together. He is signed to Motown France which I didn't really know existed. I think they do big things over in France though, in August of 2010 Ben had the highest selling album in France. Over here it was Eminem, when I went to check the charts, I was afraid it would be Katy Perry or something and I was prepared to say we have horrible taste compared to France. I mean we still do, but I understand how Eminem would be at the top of the charts. I doubt Ben's album would make it to the top of the charts here even though it's a really solid album. Needs more autotune!!

Look out for some of Ben's album to be sprinkled throughout the next Soul mix, and if at all possible get yo ass to Stern Grove and see him live for free.
