Walk down the right back alley and you’ll find a Sin City review…

October 1, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Frank Miller is back with the next instalment of Sin City – A Dame to Kill For. This time the main story of four is about Dwight (previously played by Clive Owen and now Josh Brolin) being played by his seductress ex Ava (Eva Green). She essentially uses her excessive naked-ness to turn everyman around her, into a mess to work in her favour of becoming powerful. The weakest story is ‘Just Another Saturday Night’ which is a prequel just like […]

Bad Grandpa Review

March 2, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Bad Grandpa is a comedy movie from the guys that created Jackass, with the same hidden camera layout of some of the sketches in the TV show. This time it focuses on one character paid by Johnny Knoxville – 86 year old Irving Zisman. Irving is tasked with taking his daughters son Billy across America to his dad. This simple plot-line is what strings together the different range of events to create the sketches – from simply awkward conversations with […]

A few things I’ve forgotten to blog about over the past months…

December 31, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

Well as the year has been wrapping up a lot of things have happened. Firstly I got the chance to hang out backstage and see everyone from Example to Little Mix. Artists can be so different when they’re off the mic! I also was asked to film hundreds of elves passing a toy from one end of the Millennium Bridge to the other all in support of Cash for Kids! The elf costumes didn’t end there, as other supporters were […]

North Road

December 1, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

I got the chance to film an acoustic band from the Durham in the North East. North Road is comprised of three members, Jack Robinson, Josh Henderson & Charlie Griffiths. They cover a range of instruments but primarily use acoustic, mainly guitars, their vocals and a Cajon drum. North Road was formed in the summer of 2012 as all three of them studied for a diploma in Music at New College Durham. Prior to becoming North Road they played music individually and often […]

30 Seconds to Mars with You Me at Six

November 19, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

You Me At Six opened the night to warm at the crowd. They got everyone raising their fists and screaming with popular songs like Underdog and Bite My Tongue. Josh Franceschi, the lead singer and frontman encouraged people to mosh as much as they could, crowd surf, and basically be as maniac as they could. This was a sign of things to come. Jared Leto opened 30 Seconds to Mars by slowly descending onto the stage from a small platform, […]

Songs to chill out to over Summer!

July 13, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

No Diggity was a classic R & B track by Blackstreet way back in 1996. It was the track that many people grooved to when R & B was ‘in’. Now Alice Jemima, a 19 year old singer songwriter from Newton Abbot, Devon has given a fresh take on it. Her version is more chilled with a rich tone that anyone can relax to during this hot summer. To me its got the same kind of vibe heard in The XX. […]

A Few Songs That You Should Definitely Check Out….

June 11, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

It has been a while since I came across a songs that worthy to put on repeat. Daft Punks ‘Get Lucky’ was great, but has been heard everywhere so I wanted to find something that wasn’t getting the playback it deserved (I sound like a hipster!). The first song that has to mentioned is by Roxie LS, a singer songwriter based in London who I can barely find anything about other than she likes surfing. Every link to information about […]

The Most Anticipated Release of the Year? Daft Punk!

May 14, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

The French duo Daft Punk have finally got around to creating their fourth album. We’re not including the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, since it was a soundtrack with various short bits of music that were amazing but….no. Random Access Memories, which is set for UK release on the 20 May, has been in the works possibly since 2008 while they were also creating the Tron: Legacy score (one of the songs does sound a lot like something from Tron). The album […]

A little late to the Daft Punk party

May 1, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

Daft Punk are finally back to give us some new music for a proper album rather than a soundtrack, not that I’m saying the Tron soundtrack was poor, quite the contrary. I enjoyed it most when driving through snowy conditions while epic music boomed out the speakers amplifying the dreary conditions. They’re latest track, Get Lucky, is the first off they’re upcoming fourth album Random Access Memories. The album is to be released on 17 May, and judging from the […]

David Bowie and his big surprise.

January 10, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

David Robert Jones, or David Bowie as he’s known, is making a comeback. The 70s music sensation has released his new single ‘Where are we now?’ to much celebration. David Bowie first set the world alight in the 70s. Born in 1947 in Brixton, London, and raised by mum Margaret Mary and dad Haywood Stenton, Bowie was considered an adequate choir singer with above average musical ability. After many attempts to break in to the pop industry, Bowie’s success came […]

My Top 10 Youtube Videos of the Year

December 20, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Well the end of the year is nearly upon us (or the world depending on how you look at it), and I figured I’d list my top 10 videos of the year. This list has come from videos that I have shared with friends and family, or videos that I have just watched over and over because of the talent used to create it. So let’s begin! Runner Up: Why You Should Never Celebrate Too Soon Figure I’d start with the […]

6…1…6…1…2…1…2…1

November 18, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

The numbers! What do they mean?! Well it’s actually to do with a musical style calls Gamelan, a traditional ensemble from Indonesia. It consists of a range of percussion instruments, plucked strings and flutes. During our taster session at Gateshead college, we got an hour to learn how to play the various instruments, although it was only the percussion items. This was being taught by Pete Smith, who came from Oxford to show us what it was all about. The […]

Santigold – L.E.S. Artistes (Brummer Remix)

June 25, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

I have no idea how I missed this remix, but thankfully I stumbled onto it this morning resulting in it being on all day. Santigold was an artist I listened to back in college after hearing her song ‘Creator’ featured during the Alberto Vo5 hair commercial. The odd genre bending style mixing fast rap over synth beats was enough to make it sound amazingly fresh and awesome. It pretty much resulted in her being constantly on repeat in the car […]

Temper Trap – Need Your Love (RAC Mix)

May 10, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

I can’t say I’ve heard much of Temper Trap other than Sweet Disposition which I’ve played to death. If I’m honest Need Your Love is the second song I’ve probably heard by them, and I gotta say it is awesome, its an epic style of song if that can be called a genre, much like Florence and the Machine. The video for it pretty much sums it up, a Karate Kid 1.5 sequel in which we see what happens to […]

The Fontains – An Epic Band

May 2, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

During filming an event at Kirkley Hall, the evenings entertainment was a live band by the name of the Fontains. While they were setting up the drums, the fender bass and guitars, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My initial thoughts was a simple indie band hoping to get themselves heard, who wouldnt really be any different from the millions of other indie bands, big and small, that sound exactly the same. How wrong I was. Okay, they played covers […]

Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans ft. Azealia Banks (Smims&Belle Extended Remix)

April 29, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

For the past few months I’ve been constantly listening to Lana Del Rey, but not her own work. She does have a half decent album which has been doing very well, but I’m more interested in the amount of remixes of her work that are hitting speakers left, right and well below the safe bass line. Thanks firstly to the PatrickReza dubstep remix of Blue Jeans, I started collecting any quality remix of her work that I could find, such […]

Created Intros

April 26, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

OriginalPeopleEvolve and WhoIsDhillon A friend needed some help to put together a video to go on his site at OriginalPeopleEvolve. I figured I would give it a shot since I had some free time, and I liked the concept of promoting people who don’t really get noticed. The video may turn up soon, but who knows for now, instead I’m giving a small sample of the trailers created to promote his site, and mine. The annoying part of the OPE […]
