Asteroids made of compressed broken car parts race along ghost highway overpasses. They thread between the giant stomping legs of galactic rock eaters. The shattered glass of the misstepped sparkles under blue street lights like earthbound stars. Bounce with the rhythm or get squashed like Frogger. Image by Graffiti Technica.

It’s great when something that is so oddly funny turns out to be good music as well. When someone hears about a James Bond sample oriented track, they probably wouldn’t expect much. But newcomer Noisses manages to make a quality dub out of just such a concept. It’s a good ol’ wobbler that obviously doesn’t take itself too serious. Yet it manages to keep enough of an edge to avoid being a joke. The second half of the song feels a bit discordant, but the first half warms the chest like a good martini.

This video installation by Apparati Effimeri, which is projected onto the side of a castle, manages to make the whole structure appear to move with stop-animation tendencies. For more projection mapping, augmented reality videos, peep the Real World Texture Mapping Group on Vimeo.

Comin’ with thorough rhymes and solid punchlines, Flatbush’s Sene looks askance at the dreams of riches that fill the minds of so many rappers. He’s definitely on that underground, late nineties backpacking tip, and it shows on his new release The Future, which features Blu. (Together, the two call themselves Patch Adams). But homepiece got a delivery that’ll keep your head nodding and he’s got a good outlook on life. Even if your shoes are scuffed and your pockets are mostly filled with lint, you can still grab some of his music: “Elevator Music (A Collection of Rejected Excellence)” is a free LP download of his. Below, we posted a couple of the best joints on there. Photo by tellzoe.
