Strange Fruit presents J. Rocc

One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-'80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles. 

Strange Fruit 6 year anniversary this Saturday (14/05/11) in Rotterdam, Westerlijk Handelsterrein.

Winter in Trompenburg

(download)

Another small secret in Rotterdam. Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum is a beautifully landscaped botanical garden with a large collection of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tubers. The garden is situated on the edge of the center of Rotterdam in the district Kralingen. The garden is a treasure trove for connoisseurs and plants a boon for hikers looking for calm in a busy city. 

The emergence of Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum dates back to 1820. By merging a former Kralinger country estate, several plots of pasture and a number of adjacent gardens, the garden has grown into the present area of 8 hectares. Afterwards we went to Madame Massette for some hot chocolat, Glühwein and a piece of pie.

Forget the film, watch the titles

You know what they say about first impressions... Title sequences can be engaging or wildly entertaining, funny, exhilarating, or simply drop dead beautiful. They can be oozing with visual poetry and sophisticated imagery while others hit you hard with their bold and audacious stylistic gestures. And let's face it, everybody loves a good title sequence. This wednesday in Cinerama, Rotterdam!
