(Grace/James)

Hey james
want to talk about your music?
Sure thing :)
this is going to be an ultra modern, slightly depressing virtual interview
mainly due to the fact that i know nothing about music, even though i am excellent at pretending.
Gota move with the times.
and also i have a huge boil on my face haven't been in public all week, lol
Fuck that shit. I havn't got out of bed for 2 days cause im ill. :(
No way. You making 'sick' tunes still?
Haha nice. I just put something fresh up today actually.
Frist dnb track i've finished off.
For the Kmag competition, remix of Seba - Painted Sky
Check it out.
http://soundcloud.com/jameshk/seba-painted-sky-hkay-remix
OK, i'll turn of Aqua and listen to this
ok ok here we go, describe your sound do you have a signature sound?
I guess I do have a certain style. But it depends what genre you're speaking of, Cause I currently make and dj alot of genre's. Mainly Hip-hop, Dubstep and DNB.
However no matter what genre im making, its always melodic and usually ambient.
There's always a nice topline melody and movement to the track, im generally not a fan of filth.
Loads of random squeals to a generic beat just don't appeal to me.
Ok, i really like 'deep blue' what genre is that? should i be able to guess it's so chill
Well when starting a track, I don't usually aim for a genre. I just sit back and start creating and see where it goes.
Although I guess that track is closest to Ambient Dubstep.
Half time beat at 130 bpm, so yeah my best bet would be some kind of dubstep.
don't get all this jargon, but it is nice to sway too, what and who inspires you to make yo music?
Usually my main inspiration comes from real life, my friends and situations. But musically at the moment my main inspiration is ital tek, he's got some amazing and totally unique going on.
http://soundcloud.com/ital-tek
oh yeah yeah, my ears are being opened to a new world of sound.
alright, so, where do you see yourself in 12 years time?
You've been missing out, theres loads of great ambient stuff floating about.
in 12 years I should hopefully be making atleast a comfortable living of djing and producing.
Don't want to be rich or famous, just to be able to make ends meet.
what ..
no money or fame?
what about the playboy mansion and the gucci loafers?
Money would be lovely.
I don't know if i could deal with papparazzi
I'd probably end up smacking one and getting nicked.
do you like fighting?
Nah, im strongly against it.
Im something of a neo-hippy.
passive warrior?
I promote peace and love.
<3>alright, so we've asserted you want to make ambient dubstep, make money and make love not war.
what are you going to make for dinner?
Im not sure.
Tasha just arrived so it looks like she's cooking up something delicious soon.
Our outside fridge packed up just now aswell so theres a wide selection
blessed with a full fridge and a hearty lady OK so
word association, to round off, you ready?
I guess so.
sound excited
WOAHOMFGNOWAYLETSGO!
ok, so you have to be alert
first thing that comes into that mystical musical mind -
SHOE
horn
SIX
HUNDRED
HATE
LOVE
WEATHER
MAN
QUEEN
TEA AND BISCUITS
DANCE
GAVIN DANCE
DRUGS
SEX AND SAUSAGE ROLLS
PARASITE
MAJOR LABELS
(oh controversial) FINISH
END
Exactly, thank you and good night
Bye bye

Danger Sound #7

back to 1999...

Danger Sound #6

2010-11-29T21:48:00.002Z

Bjork, what can I say. A fabulous cover of Betty Hutton's version in 1951..

'It's oh so quiet...'

Literally heart broken.

2010-11-29T21:22:00.007Z

I am the most emotional person to ever grace this earth, i cry at the parts of films which aren't set up to be sad, i cried when i finished twilight - just because it was over (and now i feel like crying after that pitiful confession).
But its true, as far as the metaphorical representation of the heart being the core of all sorrow, love, hate, lust.. whatever, my heart is a complete cop out.

As of last Wednesday, however, i discovered that my heart was actually (in physical reality) being attacked by something other than my feeble and usually melo-dramatic sphere of emotion.

I was diagnosed, after waves of pretty severe chest pains (accompanied by screams, squeals, wails and any other ghastly noises i could muster from my aching lungs) with Pericarditis which is when the Pericardium (or the protective 'sack') around your heart gets infected.

Why this happened? As a secondary factor after getting tonsillitis, why can't i do anything without there being a fuck load of drama involved.

SO i've been pumped with anti-biotics and painkillers since then until today, in which i have finally been released into the outside world, drowsy and disorientated.

Scary times, hold on to your hearts home sluts.

Lots of love from my bloodbox, still ticking!

G xxx

P.s. many kisses to everybody who came and kept me company at my time of need, you helped me retain what was left of my panicked mind.

Audrey Hepburn is just a goddess, throughout the whole of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Her elegance emanated across her career. When beauty was classic; a time when dignity was divine.

Not only this, but as i have recently found out, the late Hepburn dedicated the last 5 years of her life to humanitarian work, traveling across developing countries on behalf of UNICEF, illustrating the provokingly heartbreaking reality of children fighting to survive, fighting for their human rights.

A year after her death in 1994, The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund was set up by her two children Sean and Luca, which supports many organisations across the world.

You can donate to the fund, or simply delve into magnificent life of Audrey on her website:

A woman who casted inspiration into many spheres.

Magnetic Man ft. Katy B - Perfect Stranger LIVE; and her voice is still as pitch perfect and astounding. Marina from Marina and the Diamonds also does a hypnotically mystical and exceptionally mellow version of it, listen here.

'Are you from another world

I never seen someone who looks like you

Beautiful stranger how do you do?

Tell me is there something I can do for you...'

Christopher Kane's spring collection is a bold look of flower embroidered leather, cashmere and lace, cut and tailored into wearable creations only possible from Kane's perverted fashion mind. The season sounds oddly like 'Granny meets Biker slut', however, far from this Kane has managed to create an on trend feminine look with a rebellious edge. The collection is based, quote the man himself, 'on a delinquent teenager'.

A love letter for you.

2010-10-18T19:36:00.005+01:00

Over the pond; in Philadelphia, is a unique project mastered by the graffiti artist, Stephen Powers. His work, known to others as ESPO (Exterior Surface Painting Outreach) is now combined with members of the Philadelphia's community and Philadelphia Mural Arts Program to create a series of murals about love, painted onto walls of buildings facing the Market elevated train line.
The project aims to have 50 painted walls for everybody to see and will provide training areas for youths and free signage for businesses. A love letter for you really is something special, unique and touching. Unfortunately for Britain whilst there are no such 'love letters' here, maybe, we'll get some for ourselves soon!

Visit their website at and admire the work for yourselves!

My, Oh, Mulberry...

2010-10-17T21:25:00.006+01:00

Mulberry is an English brand at its most luxurious; Reaching 'Fashion classic' status with their Bayswater and Roxanne bags.Shit if you wan't British class elevated through your arm-wear then bitches you need to save your pounds, or find yourself a rich (and generous) lover, to grab you one of these babies. The Alexa bag is the Mulberry on the tippety-top of every fashionista's wishlist this season inspired by Britain's very own it girl, fashion icon - Alexa Chung. The blend of the traditional bayswater basic structuring with a vintage twist is so beautiful and so -god damn- out of reach.
Heres to wishing ladies!

The Pixies are just another one of those bands, that makes you wish you'd been born amongst your parents generation. This music just touches something deep within my cynical soul.

I can not imagine another song, that moves me with the entirety and sincerity that Radiohead - Reckoner does. We had the honour of seeing them headlining Reading Festival last year, and it urged a few precious tears from my stony eyes.
So for this reason, here you are.

Barbour

2010-10-03T14:03:00.006+01:00

It has been too long, and the winter months are fast approaching.
An influx of boots, fur and anything to keep a girl warm and dry without looking like a bundle of layered knit and squelching waterproof; have cropped up on my wish list.

Most desirably my want (need) for a Barbour coat has returned stronger than ever, and i can just about afford it this time - A blessing in wax form.

V FEST

2010-08-27T15:45:00.012+01:00

Sunday 22nd August, we venture to Chelmsford in Essex to go and support our Brothers in Chase and Status at V Festival, the festival was also boasting acts such as David Guetta, Groove Armada, Kings of Leon and Florence and the Machine on this smashing Sunday.

On arrival, we qued up for about an hour and then were told we had been in the wrong que the whole time; at which point we were put in the direction of another que, although much shorter, at the end of the que was a bootalicious ghetto mumma. This lady had obviously got out the wrong side of the bed, possibly banging her head really fucking hard too - because she the picture of complete domination and rage.

We had a ball though, here are some pictures from our day!

Renowned for his flawless re-introduction of the 80's slogan t-shirt and his best friend, model royalty Agyness Deyn; Henry Holland is now a well known fashion house and thanks to his 'H! by Henry Holland' line, a well known name on the streets too.

The brilliance of Holland's H! is that as well as being sweetly swanky they are blissfully affordable. Meaning Henry Holland can be adorned by the masses, the beautiful masses.

Comme Des Garçons - Menswear 2011

2010-08-13T15:55:00.006+01:00

The spring 2011 collection of Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garçons is based upon one theme, the skull. The singular theme opens many doors to a variety of techniques able to be used on the garments, such as; photographic prints, engravings and also appliqued onto the models themselves. The checkerboard pattern is another theme throughout the collection, which compliments the skulls with the same 'simplistic' approach; as does, the blood red accents shown on selected pieces. Kawakubo also manages to blur the lines of sexuality by creating feminine shapes combined with the bold, statemented patterns and motifs.

Not only does the entire collection cause a stir among the usual, spring trends, the hair styling does too!

Lets hope this new, darker side of menswear will makes its way onto the high street to really create a statement in the Spring trends.

Comme des Garçons available at Dover Street Market, London. http://www.doverstreetmarket.com/

Three words a girl never gets tired of hearing?

'Shoe Shop Sale'

Kurt Geiger's Carvela recently enlightened my very own shoe fetish fantasy with a massive reduction on tons of their beautiful footwear.

My guilty pleasure is the Carvela Atone, they are to die for and at a less deathly price too.

Johnny's Bird; the beautifully candid website of London photographer, Moni Haworth.

Haworth successfully manages to capture personality within her photos, yet combing it with her eye for vintage style and interesting location choices such as a strip club, a London high street and skate park!

Among her many gorgeous models, she has shot 18 year old, American singer, Sky Ferreira and son of Nick Cave; Jethro Cave with model, Sophie Willing.

Definitely a website worth checking out!

Inner City Dwellers, sound massive even behind the computer screen.

We can't wait to see the real deal live, going to be an explosion in our minds; catalysed by the ridiculously sick vocals of Patrick Williams and his band of brothers, Sam, Chris and Jake on stage.

You can download ICD tracks FREE at their website:

They just keep on giving!

Chase and Status release the official video for their new single, 'Let you go' featuring Mali.

I can't stand Jeremy Kyle and his cheap suits; the self righteous talk show moron so the embedded parody which presents us with 'Patrick Chase' makes me feel smug inside.

LET YOU GO - Chase and Status ft. Mali is released on the 15th August

BIG UP!

DANGER SOUND

2010-07-28T22:06:00.012+01:00

Not brand new or nothing, but i've recently been alerted to the sound of The Dead Weather Comprised of The Kill's Alison Mosshart and The White Stripe's and The Raconteur's Jack White.

This song in particular, with its super sexy, stroppy and dark video makes a girl want to go rampaging into the streets clad in leather, screaming 'Fuck Forgiveness' and 'M-A-N-I-P-U-late'.

On top of all that, it gives me serious lusting for jet black locks to thrust around in rage, so cool!

Guilfest

2010-07-22T14:26:00.020+01:00

Last Sunday, a rowdy crew of Danger Daughter warriors made our way to Guilfest. The sun was beating down on stoke park and everybody was glorious, enjoying the weather and the extortionately priced pimms (i did manage to briefly pass out in the pimms tent but did move swiftly after a stern word from the security guard).

After this, I'm ashamed to say that i actually don't really remember what happened too tidily. We drifted round the festival for a bit, amidst various 'herbal' high stalls and trying on the finest Indian headdresses Surrey could offer, but it does seem a bit of a fine blur. I think i had sun stroke.

The bulk of my conscious time at Guilfest was spent in the 'Funky End Dance tent' where we came to support our brothers Chase & Status with MC Rage whom were crazily amazing. Mc Rage (a.k.a Patty!) gave Danger Daughters some loving on the mic and we even snagged a radio interview with the brand spankin' new 103.7 Kane FM: ears open kids.

Introducing Danger Daughters.

Brought together by a small series of unlucky events, we have successfully battled with Satan, been captured by alien pirates whilst cruising the universe and Sarah once made it a whole year in an Amsterdam brothel without even transmitting an STD.

We are as brutal as they come and Danger Daughters are ready to take on the world, one fight at a time.
