Freshly returned from the 2012 tour de force of the USA, Gumball is revving up for a spectacular year of elite luxury culture, international style and VIP entertainment as they celebrate 15 years as the world's premier supercar rally. Gumball 3000, an annual international road rally takes place on public roads featuring over 100 of the world's most exotic, powerful, and sometimes strange, vehicles battling for nothing more than bragging rights. No prizes are awarded for top finishes, indeed there is no official timekeeping of any sort, and yet Gumball 3000 has become synonymous with dazzling luxury, style, and celebrity.

Founded in 1999 by businessman and former model Maximillion Cooper, the Gumball 3000 race began as a road-trip adventure for 50 friends, and has since evolved into a cultural extravaganza for global elites.

2013 sees Gumball return to its home ground in Europe for an Anniversary Route set to be the most exclusive road trip adventure in the world. Driving from Copenhagen to Monte Carlo the route reflects Gumball’s celebrated position as the most fashionable motor event on the international calendar.

At each international pit stop Gumball will bring its own unique brand of entertainment to the city, hosting music concerts and VIP parties alongside public-access car displays which draw crowds of thousands.

The incredible vehicle line up on 2013’s rally will include multi-million dollar Bugatti Veyrons, McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Jaguars and Porches along with a selection of custom tuned, vintage, and utterly unique vehicles.

The 2013 grid comprises rock Stars to Royalty and film Stars to Philanthropists in a staggering mix of energy, achievement, and passion for adventure. Past Gumballers include DJ Sharam, DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill, rapper Snoop Dogg, Chris Pontius + Loomis + Johnny Knoxville from Jackass, actor Jason Statham, NBA star Dennis Rodman, Sheik Mohammad al Thani, rapper/host Xzibit, Heisman Trophy recipient (at least for a while, right?) Reggie Bush, the one and only David Hasslehoff, Supreme skater Tony Hawk, professional assclown Bam Margera, TV hosts Danny & The Dingo, the members of Avenged Sevenfold, prankster extraordinaire Alex Roy, supermodels Mellissa Bradbury and Jodie Kidd, skater Rob Dyrdek with Big Black, actor Matthew McConaughey, fashion designer Donna Karan, the Lord Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, comedian Vic Reeves, F1 World Champion Damon Hill, drum n bass legend Goldie, actors Billy Zane and Jason Priestly, musician Dannii Minogue, and entrepreneur Justin Etzin.

V Motion Project Revolutionizes Visual DJing

Ayre — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:20:17 +0000

Always a fan of unbelievable technology, I think Christmas may have come early this year in the form of the V Motion project. It currently looks like this.

Utilizing laser tracking technology through two Kinect devices, each movement or action of the performer has become tied to a sound generator or effect in Ableton Live. To see this in action, view the following video from the beginning instead of at my time marker, and you’ll see the dancer testing the sound responsiveness. It took a very very dedicated and diverse team of technological wizards to build this program from concept to crazy cool. Even better, this technology is currently Generation 1 (if even attaining that level), so imagine how this might look in a few years’ time.

Okay, so it’s beyond cool. Especially when you consider that this is how it all began:

On an interesting side note, the client for this project was New Zealand soft-beverage manufacturer Frucor. Who’dve guessed.

For a fascinating discussion from the project leads on their own experiences creating this technology, check out the following articles:

Stafford Bros sign to Young Money

Ayre — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:20:06 +0000

Recent headliners and Control friends "Stafford Brothers" announced that they have signed to the Cash Money roster headed by Birdman and Lil Wayne.

This signifies YMCMB's first real venture into EDM, although Young Money artists have previously released tracks flowing over electric beats including this gem by Birdman spittin' over "The Longest Road". Of course, this was before Pitbull and Flo-Rida had really begun pillaging iconic sounds.

Birdman explains;

“The Stafford Brothers blew me away with their energy, superb production skills and strong remixes... Their music may have a party vibe, but that didn’t fool Slim and I. With their ownership of nightclubs, their own reality television show, international tours and dedication to their craft, we knew the Stafford Brothers were serious and would fit right in with the hard-working YMCMB family.”

This move represents Hip-Hop's next major venture into the global Electronic movement since Jay-Z signed Dutch heavyweight Sander Van Doorn to Roc Nation, joining the UK's Chase & Status.

The Young Money relationship blossomed out of the Stafford Brothers collaboration with Lil Wayne and Christina Milian called "Hello" to be released soon. The as-of-yet-unreleased track has been tearing up clubs across the country, and sounds like this:

In the words of the brothers themselves; "Every artist that we were keen to collaborate with seemed to be part of the YMCMB family,” says Matt Stafford. “We had the chance to attend Lil Wayne’s 30th birthday party and spend time with Birdman, Slim, Lil Wayne and the whole crew and we felt right at home amongst the family. We knew we could do great work under Slim & Birdman’s direction, with the YMCMB artists.” Adds Chris Stafford, “There was no question. Hailing from Australia, what could be better than signing to Cash Money Records, an iconic US label that has a global fan base?"

Taking the time to answer some questions direct from us, Matt Stafford had the following to say:

WL: What made you choose Cash Money as a label?

SB: When coming to the USA we really wanted to collaborate with US artists. Cash money has an amazing stable of artists, with several we wanted to work with. The fact we are EDM producers and performers makes it something different, new and exciting for all involved.

WL: Is the rumor true that you guys were/are required to get YMCMB tattoos once you signed?

SB: I have always wanted to get a squashed ant tattooed on the underside of my big toe. If the cash money crew need us to do it Im down!!

Someone tell Weezy to jump on that ink challenge!

Matt and Chris Stafford came to Cash Money Records through a dance music joint venture with CHM, and also are the stars of an Australian reality TV show on Fox8. Nima Nasseri of CHM will be spearheading the Stafford Brothers project.
