RUNAWAY KANYE

Now I know Kanye West has been recognised as a established artist for a good while now. BUT, after the success of his film "Runaway", the Sweat team are hoping this is a breakthrough concept in the music world, for up and coming artists to follow suit.

Not only were we blown away by the ideology behind this, but the sheer imagination and thought process Kanye had gone through to create, by our account a true masterpiece.
We are massive fans of Kanye as it is, and he isn't known in the industry as one to conform (the Taylor Swift files) but "Runaway" has blown us away. His long awaited album is going to get more publicity then your average HMV advert and poster ever could achieve.
And let us tell you this, he not only acted and participated in this production...HE DIRECTED IT! which means all the creativity and abstract'ness was all his make shift. We for one love the idea of an extraterrestrial (in the form of a hot semi naked pheonix woman, with THE most fantastically formed breasts - sorry mum) landing in hot flames, with no idea of human morals - she obviously didnt get the memo that eve indulged on that apple - into the arms of Kanye, who just happened to be cruising through the forrest in a lamborghini..........as you do.

The shooting is almost dream like and very surreal. The simplicity of the set design (except for an MJ effigy  being carried in parade followed by a cult) makes this film even more concept grasping. Kanye has definitely upped the anti with this piece and we are even more excited to hear his new stuff.
VJ! RUN THE VIDEO!!...........

KATY B

We know that its an impossibility that you general public lot haven't caught a whiff of Katy B's On a Mission, as its completely smashed its way into the charts and it's the only song most people are humming or singing to themselves as they walk down the street. 


Katy B, or Katie Brien is a South London Brit School graduate and incredibly talented singer/songwriter with a wealth of experience at the tender age of 21. She's featured on quite a few tracks which will make those of you who are into Funky House go "Ooooooh that was herrrrrr", like Tell me by Dj NG also featuring Versatile.

Following suit after the RIDICULOUS success of On a Mission, Katy is once again set to have another club banger as she's teamed up with Magnetic man in Perfect Stranger.

Check Out the official video here.

You can find Katy B on Twitter, as well as Facebook and Myspace. BOOM

PATCH WILLIAM

No, don't worry we're not doing a feature on a posh pirate, instead we're dishing out some education about a fantastic new london-based band.

Patch William is a four-piece started by brothers Will and Ed Adlard, and friends George Eddy and Ali Digby. Now we've been following them for a while now, and ever since their debut performance in the summer of 2007 (aaaaah 2007, The Sweat was but a twinkle in its parents eyes), and its very plain to see how far they have come since then.Their song "last bus" (below) was nominated for the Ivor Novello award for the best song lyrically and musically, and we must say its one of our favourite chillout songs of the last few years.....

We're just blown away by how much Patch stand out from everyone else these days, (and the answer to the thought you just had is YES!! We DO think we have the right to refer to them as "Patch!" We feel we've become closer through listening to their stuff endlessly!). Their style just oozes a chilled out, almost Jeff Buckley'esque grace.........see wot we've done there? no? ok. Anyway, this is their lastest video "Skinny White Boy" which was released last Friday. Enjoy.

Go to their Website. Now. Or we will get you.

"Whose Coat Is That Jacket You're Wearing?"

For the last 10 years Mike Ballard has been STEALING coats from London nightclubs and pubs...in fact he managed to swipe over 200 coats and jackets....some of you are probably thinking...O - i wonder if he took mine that time in 2005....probably not. BUT STILL he has made the contents of the pockets into art by assembling them as below and putting them on display at Walker's Tailor until Oct 23rd.

Now we are going to head down there just to be nosey, but some of you might wanna go down to look for your stuff...and weirdest part, you can ACTUALLY claim you things back if you get the coat and the contents correct. So our advice is get down there soon before everything has been claimed back and there is probably just the kitchen knife and fag end left...who keeps a fag end anyway? WEIRD

Love how fascinating the collections are..."what a person carries on their person, speaks volumes about them"...so true in this case. So romantic, love the engagement ring.
