Just like every week, we make a selection of videos you should see. Not the regular you find on every blog, but we try to select visual goodness you haven’t seen yet. This time a remix, live performances, two genuis producers at work and much more!

Title: Louwop, Shad K & Zaki Ibrahim – One Two Check/Get Up (Live)
Info: A very nice video I found on Like That Yo! We are big fans of Canada’s finest Shad K, always stoked when I find new material. And Hip Hop combined with an acoustic guitar, a female vocalist and drums in a live session in the sun can’t go wrong, right?


Title: Madlib @ Red Bull Music Academy
Info: This is a video out the archives of Red Bull Music Academy: a lecture featuring the living legend Madlib. A very interesting presentation and, of course, he plays some of his good music as well. Click here for more information about the video and Madlib.


Title: Skiggy Rapz @ StukaFest Amsterdam
Info: Here in Holland we have a festival called ‘Stukafest’: several artists play short gigs in student rooms and visitors can decide what artists they want to see. Skiggy Rapz also did a short set (35 minutes) in Amsterdam last year, very fresh stuff. January 3rd 2010 he will perform unplugged again at Club 3 Voor 12, hopefully video material will be available afterwards for those who can’t join the show…


Title: RJD2’s Home Studio
Info: We all know that cooking beats is what RJD2 does best, but apparently he has another secret talent: cooking food. This video starts with RJD2 showing off in the kitchen, but after that he takes you on an interesting journey through his home studio. Great to get an insightful look in RJ’s lab…


Title: The Streets of Philadelphia by Charles le Brigand
Info: Remember Nicholas Kopernicus we posted about a while back? This time their music is featured in this video by French photographer Carlito Brigante. Next to that Seon Gomez and Jason Minnis (the two members of Nicholas Kopernicus) are working on an unplugged EP, which will be released in January 2010. Brigante will also release a video by then with a performance by Nicholas Kopernicus, an interview and photos of the process!


Title: Daedelus – Fair Weathered Friends (The Death Set Remix)
Info: And this time we wanted to add something different again. Australian band The Death Set remixed Daedelus’ track ‘Fair Weathered Friends‘, with this as result. Something we don’t post very often, but definitely a sick animated video and an interesting result!


Title: Arrested Development – Inner City (Live)
Info: Got this video in my inbox from Brother Speech. Arrested Development performing their uptempo track ‘Inner City’  on their Motherland Tour (2008) from South Africa to Dubai. Their brand new album ‘Strong’ is out now in Japan and will soon hit the stores worldwide.
