Overthrill’s new Fame and Filth mix, was put up on mixcloud.  Sebastian from the band gave us a heads up on it yesterday, but we waited until Overthrill had their three fave mixes up on mixcloud.  We at Panik love the guys from Overthrill so much that were able to get the (re)mix-masters as a featured artist on mixcloud.  Here’s the latest mixtape, check the others out on their mixcloud page:

Fixed, global fixed-gear bike culture – book

One of the many friends of Panik, dropped us a heads-up to this book being out. For all you fixed gear nuts out there, this looks like a book which covers the craze from several angles; the history, use from the track to the modern design and style trends we see on our roads today. There’s also loads of pictures of HOT fixies to perve at/over!  Check out a preview of the book at the site

OVERTHRILL – Kings of the mixtape?

I came across these guys when looking at In Flagranti’s page (who incidentally, I love!).  I know the mix is a bit old from last year to be precise.  Overthrill is a two man outfit from Germany, who are in my opinion some of the best electro/grind house remixers in the business.  They tirelessly release new stuff, mixes and mix tapes via their MySpace page – their Devastate EP is now out.  I just had to mention them on Panik as I they have a unique style and have some great artwork done by band member, Sebastian Bentler aka thirtythr33 some of which have a haunting SUPERSTUDIO style to them (look below).  For a full track list go to Discodust.  The mix encompasses music all across the genres, a bumper 82 tracks to be precise!  Check ‘em out, big tings ya know!

Dash Snow – Photos

Dash Snow died on the 13th of July 2009, days before his 28th birthday.  Though I have never seen or know much about his artwork (aside from internet articles) I saw a link to some images of his.  A variety of polaroids taken mainly by himself and some by others documenting his, some might say shambolic life.  Illegal graffiti, tagging, drug taking, sex and partying.  The photos explore a darker side of New York life of a mis-spent youth some might say. The images make you laugh, smile, turn away in disgust and some make you think what pushed Dashiel Snow of the famous de Menil art aristocracy to become an outcast from his own family.
All I know is the pictures are an amazing documentation of a child of my generation and depicts youth culture in gritty reality.
