MTV Video – Belfast’s Thriving Music Scene

djhix — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:54:12 +0000

Now that the dust has settled on what was a truly incredible week in Belfast, it's great to see MTV producing this video, and spreading it globally on their sites to showcase the thriving music scene here. Both Belfast Music Week and it's monstrous conclusion in the form of the MTV EMAs were nothing short of epic, and a resounding success story for all involved. Check out this video which simply underlines the fact that this is just the beginning... Exciting times lie ahead for our fresh & vibrant Belfast and Northern Ireland music scene.

Video: Sway – Still Speedin’

Lead single from his forthcoming album "Deliverance". Genius use of the sample - it could've went so wrong, but it went sooooo right! Big tune, and big video....

Video: Beyonce ft J. Cole – Party

djhix — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:26:47 +0000

She does it every time. Love the vibe in this video. Beyonce is non-stop....

Video: Rihanna ft Calvin Harris – We Found Love (shot in Northern Ireland)

djhix — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:38:45 +0000

So, after all the anticipation, Rihanna has finally unveiled the official video for her latest single "We Found Love" featuring Calvin Harris. The video, as you know, was shot here in Northern Ireland (Bangor and Belfast to be precise). What ya think?...

Video: Foy Vance “I Got Love” for Bushmills Brothers

djhix — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:20:02 +0000

Check out this really cool video of local musical stalwarts Foy Vance and Mark "Mash" Ashbridge chilling over a Bushmills, chatting about music, friendship, and growing up... It then switches to the lads' impromptu busk right in the heart of Belfast City centre, with droves of people looking on, tapping their feet while recording on their phone. This was all to celebrate the launch of the Bushmills Brothers campaign, which sets out to recognise timeless friendships and brotherhood, and the creativity that stems from both. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this short video. It's awesome, and it makes me want to do 3 things... ... invite my mates over, grab my guitar, and sip on a Bushmills! I'm a big fan of Foy Vance, and it was a pleasure to interview him and Mark last week for my radio show. Foy performed an live acoustic track for my show also, and it was just breathtaking. Check him out at foyvance.com. And you can get more info on the Bushmills Brothers campaign by visiting their facebook page here: facebook.com/Bushmills1608.

Video: Labrinth ft Tinie Tempah – Earthquake

djhix — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:12:35 +0000

Possibly my favourite song of 2011 so far, this video more than does it justice. The best way to describe both the track and it's video is with one word... EPIC.

Video: Beyonce – Love On Top

djhix — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:49:37 +0000

I always liked the retro soul/swing vibe to this track from the moment I heard the album, and now that she's released the video, I like it even more. It's another super simplistic video from Beyonce, yet very effective (in my opinion anyway). Again, she's clearly tipping her hat (literally at some points) to MJ, and also throwing back to some of the old soul groups with the choreography. I like. Check out the video below...

Video: Rihanna’s Behind The Scenes in Northern Ireland

djhix — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:43:54 +0000

I know I'm a little late on this, but if you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth a watch. As everyone knows, Rihanna shot the video for her number 1 single "We Found Love" here in Belfast and Bangor a few weeks ago. The video is still to be officially released, but this comprehensive "behind-the-scenes" look is pretty cool. Check the video below:

djhix — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:32:20 +0000

Now just days away from release, the hype continues to for what must be one of the most anticipated album releases for quite a while. Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaboration album "Watch The Throne" will no doubt be an enormous seller anyway, yet the promotion steam-rolls on. Two things to check out here - firstly, a strange image of both men's faces merged together, and secondly a new trailer for the album which has surfaced. Check both out after the jump...
