Jazz rap is a fusion of hip hop and jazz, developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The lyrics are often based on political consciousness, afrocentricity, and general positivism. It’s popular in Japan recently, just like house music, but in Taiwan, never see any great singer or rapper bring back that smooth and relaxation music for TW auditors. Until Soft Lipa aka “DanBao”(Egg Benedict in Chinese) shows up from “Kao hip pop music crew” that make me feel tranquil from his music. Glad to see he drops out his first album in Taiwan. Congratulations, Soft Lipa!

Taiwanese found up a Michael Jackson dance commemoration tribute which the concept and choreography all form a Youtude film located at Stockholm, Sweden. The mostly glorification thing is, comparing with Sweden prepared more than 300 dancers for this event, all the Taiwanese guys just volunteer for practicing in a few days on this promotion. It has seen a successful event in Taiwan. Hope everyone likes this meaningful tribute for Michael.

When I saw that idea from the end of the lifelike film, here comes out “Transformer house!!”. It’s totally nice when a projection is visually well balanced within the urban ambiance. All conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. It’s pretty hard to calculate all the details on promoting a vivid film on an architecture, not mention to the fitting sound. Anyway, just enjoy the short!

Look at that genius film work!!! Pierre, Damien and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt), they decided to collaborate for developing a design a font with a car.
