Did you know über-talented illustrator McBess has a band called The Dead Pirates with fellow designer Simon? Well, the two teamed up with superhouse the Mill and created this music video for their band. The result is a fantastic piece done in McBess's signature drawing-style, all in black and white, and with a fun little story. Looking forward to seeing more from the two and hearing more of their music.
Here's another set from Selektor veteran, Simon. He's been keeping busy with his XM Redux radio show alongside John B and Tiga and doing mixes for radio shows abroad! Here's his Redux set for Ministry of Sound. Tracklisting below:

Yes, I know...4.20...but I didn't have time to organize a "marijuana" themed episode of Subdrive, though that would have been something wouldn't it? Anyhows, I have a special Subdrive Selektor pick for you all from the excellent SIMON (Sleaze DC, Redux - XM Radio, Just Say Agency). I met up with him at the Winter Music Conference and he passed me this set from his show on XM called Redux. Founder of the infamous 'Sleaze' events, host of "Redux" on XM Radio, this no wave pioneer has been blurring the genre boundaries for nearly a decade, pushing and pioneering the electro house-technowave-nouveau revolution! A true taste-maker, Simon's always two steps ahead of the pack and he's certainly caught on fire! From major remixes and exclusive parties to warehouse raves and super clubs, Simon's unique sound and superior mixing have had an incredible impact on dance floors around the world, and have placed him firmly amongst the US nu-electro elite. Oh, and he's from Washington, DC too.
