The KiD
MVM: Major Lazer – Get Free
There were a bunch of great music videos that premiered last week, so it was hard to choose which one got the Mondaze spot today. My final decision was between Diplo’s “Set it Off” video which featured the best pole dancing in space that I’ve ever seen, and Major Lazer’s… Continue »
MVM: PSY – Gangnam Style
If the 40 million something views on this video don’t speak for it’s quality, then take a look at the absolutely stunning visuals on this K-Pop slammer. A friend forwarded Psy’s hit music video to me last week, and as a filmmaker myself, there is so much inspiration in this… Continue »
GET SHIFTY (08/11) with KILLER CAM & SLEEPYHEAD
It’s that time of the month to get weird again. Get Shifty returns to The Central SAPC tomorrow night with a special Summer Olympics edition slamfest (unfortunately Gabby Douglas will not be tearing it up on the decks, sorry creeps). Instead we got a freak faction of DJ adonises well-conditioned for… Continue »
A Public Announcement
I felt compelled to write something special today because, until I really thought about it this morning, I didn’t realize how weird it is going to be to lay “The KiD” to rest at Get Shifty this Saturday (Aug 11). For those of you that don’t know already, I am… Continue »
MVM: Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools (Drank)
K-Dot just released the music video for his latest single “Swimming Pools (Drank)” last week, and has already racked up a collective 3 million views on this sucker. No doubt in my mind that Kendrick is hip-hop’s fastest rising star right now. If any of you have been around me… Continue »
MVM: Passion Pit – I’ll Be Alright
I’ve been waiting since early last week to post this music video. Passion Pit’s new single I’ll be Alright, itself, is already a fantastic new song, filled with so much optimism and energy. When Greg Barth added a visual direction to this piece, something truly bizarre and wonderful was born…. Continue »
MVM: Nas – The Don
If you weren’t already aware, Nas came out with a brand new studio album last week, entitled Life is Good. This is his 10th official LP to date… what a vet. Life is Good has already been getting great reviews across the board for Nas’ innate ability to blend meta-realism, taken… Continue »

MVM: Justice – New Lands
With a video this big from Justice, no matter how much I like it, I felt that I had to post this for today’s MVM. Directed by CANADA, this video for the next single off their Audio, Video, Disco album takes place at a professional football/baseball/lacrosse/rollerball hybrid game in the… Continue »
MVM: Jeff the Brotherhood – Sixpack
Now it’s been over a week since I’ve been back from vacation, and I still can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m not a kid with a 3 month long summer vacation anymore. That said, I think this is one of the worst summer fevers I… Continue »
GET SHIFTY with LOL BOYS
As Get Shifty evolves aesthetically and continues to serve the people, we have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best up-and-coming talent in the game. It appears that tomorrow, July 7th at The Central SAPC in Santa Monica, marks yet another momentous occasion as we welcome LOL BOYS… Continue »
MVM: Groove Armada – My Friend
Shifty Nation, I’m back from vacation. If the lack of KiD activity on your social media experience was uncomfortable for you, then I’m sorry… but I’m sure that wasn’t the case. Regardless, I’m back in action with your weekly MVMs once again, and this time I’m taking you back to… Continue »
MVM: Woodkid – Run Boy Run
Woodkid put out a new music video last week for the 2nd song off his upcoming (and still mysterious) LP, coming out late 2012. Woodkid, if you didn’t already know, is Yoann Lemoine, an already more than accomplished music video director. He has done videos for Lana Del Rey, Drake… Continue »
MVM: Bonde Do Role – Kilo
Diplo Alert! Bonde Do Role’s newest single has come fresh served with more fruit than any song I’ve ever seen. This video is so funny and entertaining that I simply couldn’t resist posting it today for MVMs, even though it’s a couple weeks old. Big deal. Even if you’ve seen… Continue »
VERSUS FEAT. BRENMAR
DANCEiSM and GottaDanceDirty are bringing me back to VS this week, a party I’m sure all you shifterz are more than aware of now. If you’re not, this is the best weekly dance music night that you will find on the westside of LA. Along with the homies, Planet Rock,… Continue »
MVM: Swizz Beatz – Street Knock
The new Swizz Beatz, featuring A$AP Rocky, produced by AraabMuzik, music video shot by TAJ is probably one of the most swagged out collabos to hit the streets this year. To be honest, Swizzy, who I consider to be one of the OGs of the “swag” movement (if you… Continue »
MVM: Roland TR-808
Although today’s video isn’t necessarily a “music video” in the traditional sense, I felt that it was more than appropriate to to spend today discussing the Roland TR-808 and how deeply it has penetrated every corner of the music industry. It’s funny because the term “808″ has become such a… Continue »
Brian Polar – 1973 Mixtape
Mr. Brian Polar, 1/4 of Random Citizens, and producer-turned-DJ extraordinare (You may have seen him perform as The Brians at our J*Davey show a few weeks back) has released his first full length mixtape. From the mouth of the man himself, “ This is on some backyard BBQ, summertime fun type sh*t–got some old… Continue »
