Shop is a weird and wonderful multi-disciplinary creative space which offers a complete creative service. We work in all areas of art and design including graphics, screen print, web, multi-media, film and fashion design. We also have an extensive track record of organising and hosting exciting events. Feel free to sign up to our mailing list below for updates:
This Saturday (14th August) we have our second screening of Trash Humpers. Before the main feature, we will be premiering a short film by DJ Rubbish and DJ Johnny Crump called The Order To Come. Here’s the blurb:
The audio design behind The Order To Come was to challenge the way we hear music and to brake some fundamental rules of music production. The goal was to create a piece of “Art” rather than a “Mix Tape”, and hopefully construct something that wouldn’t fit comfortably into any specific genre.
The music comprises chopped-down pieces of audio, put together to allow interest through its indifference, using ambitious samples, scornful styles and dejected lyrics.
Ultimately, this was to become a piece of video art.
The visuals use the original audio from The Order To Come as a creative starting point, following its tone and rhythm to create a visual collage that is both evocative and provocative and spans generations and continents. Viewers enter a sensory dream world where nothing is certain and the barely visible is free to create meaning of its own. The intensity of the music is compounded my the hypnotic repetitious imagery.
Years pass in seconds and memory turns to dust as Johnny Crump and DJ Rubbish present their vision of The Order To Come…
Shop’s Ajay Stevenson is running a series of acoustic sessions every Thursday evening at The Bodega Social Club from 7 until 10pm. This is to coincide with the launch of his Creative Notts project which also runs as an online campaign which encourages Nottingham creative’s to blog together on Tumblr. You can see it and join up at www.creativenotts.org. You can also find out more on Facebook.
To celebrate Shop’s latest event in conjunction with SIZE? on May 6th we are giving away Leth’s latest mixtape for free! It’s a colaboration of sorts with Shop’s very own Rikki Marr who has provided the artwork for this very special venture.
This one is a party banger for sure, very much in keeping with the Shop vibe you are all used to seeing at our shows.
Download, enjoy, and we will see you all on the 6th! Click the Image for more.
Last week, Shop held the after party for Nottingham’s Breakin’ Convention. Breakers from New York, Korea and Nottingham got together to break it up albeit some strange looks from the neighbors!
