about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

SPOEK WENT TO US FOR SXSW AND CAME BACK

Post date Wed 18 May 2011 9:21 PM
A couple of months ago I went to America on tour with the biiiiig homey, Chllngr aka Steve Borth aka Stevezey aka Saxophone Messiah and we played about 12 pretty shitty paying but fun gigs in San Fransisco, LA, El Paso, Boise (the white supremacy capital of the US), Seattle, Portland, San Diego and about 4 at SXSW in Austin...most of the shows we played we did in conjunction with out LA homeys Rainbow Arabia. The tour was peaceful after that much traveling together you might expect some epic weirdness but all in all it was a good family affair.
Best memories...We opened for Puff Daddy at the Fader Fort (and didnt stop talking about him for the next couple days). We ate tons of tortillas, nachos, enchilladas and quesedillas...stayed with a Texas drug dealer(unbeknownst to us)... driving through Colorado mountain ranges...being in a partytruck with some 10 insane Oakland arthippies, including an asian gyal hat designer who was wearing one of her creations, a hat made up of 10 little hats spread all over her head...aftermath of Trash Talk  at Fader Fort...producing songs with Steve in the back of the car(songs that are makingf up my Spoek Mathambo debut on SubPop)...shooting the 'Drunk Like That' music video in Brooklyn with Cerebral Vortex which'll be out soon enough. 
The funniest/weirdest thing about SXSW:
ALL PICS BY MY MANAGER JULIE VERGEZ
Driving, driving, we supposedly cleared about 8000km...some fun, some crazy, a lot scarey with paranoid Steve checking local laws on open container et al on his iPhone. 

 

This is Stevezy aka Chllngr
Emeka of GCTC swagging the fuck out, before we hit the midnite pizzaria and saw some fixed gear bike dude fighting in the street...definately contender for one of teh funnest nights!! Seaeeeeeeatle
At emily's house, who can be seen throwing up dueces behind my head whiles her man is faaast asleep behind us...about an hour later he had to go, 'Emily...come on...you gotta get to sleep...COME ON'...we were having two much fun. They were both incredibly nice hosts!
You know what I was thinking...mexxxxxxxxxicanfood!!
Still at Emily's house
Still at Em's house...producing beats on the blowup!!
At the Sub Pop office...I just signed the deal and am gasssssssssed!!
'Ei, this is Stevezy...I think the track needs more flavour'
Saxophone Messiah...we definately brought a lot of flavour on this tour with that horn!!

Watched og so much Basketballer's Wives. cheeeeeses!
Hangin with the Rainbow Arabia familia
and now for a commercial break:

 

SPOEK MATHAMBO ON BSTV...BIGSHOT NOT BULLSHIT

Post date Thu 23 Sep 2010 12:38 AM

THEY SAY:

Brandishing a hybrid dance floor sound he’s dubbed township tech, South African Spoek Mathambo’s profile got a significant shot in the arm this year by way of heaps of international press and blog accolades he received well before he released his acclaimed debut album, Mshini Wam. Mathambo has been in the mix for years in Johannesburg, making beats, mix tapes and tunes long before the eyes of the world focused on him and his homeland who played host to the recent World Cup, so it was no surprise that his party-perfect album lived up to the hype.

After recently profiling Mathambo, Big Shot caught up with the man himself last week at Bryant Park in New York City. A little worn out from playing DJ gigs in Los Angeles and New York City, and suffering from an understandable case of sensory overload (“all those lights in Times Square freaked my brain out!”), in this exclusive BSTV interview Mathambo talks about Mshini Wam, first impressions of America, his current live show and new single “Don’t Mean to Be Rude.”

PLAYDOE - BUBBLE & FREEZE EP

Post date Sun 21 Mar 2010 10:41 PM

 

Playdoe – Ice Cream (Kaptain Cadillac Remix)

Playdoe – Ice Cream (Riot Kid Remix)

BUY IT!

The EP contains a track called 'Champoon' and 'Ice Cream' and a HUGE bunch of great remixes by Riot Kid, Kaptain Cadillac (peep below), Zôl & Illstm, Square Tune Magician, Digital Fighter, Club Cheval, D.L.i.d and Chris de Lucais.

I listened to the EP whilst drinking my soda from Lidl and suddenly I caught myself standing on the couch in stiletto heels (tube socks) and my soda tasted like champagne. It's that good people, Simon and Spoek brings that likkle je ne sais quoi to our everyday Lidl life, come awn when was the last time you had Champagne, let's all admit we drink Champoon. Champoon is Champagne in Lidlanian. CHAMPPOOOOOOON IS FOR THE PEOPLE!

OH and Ice Cream is soooo good, I will forever hold a grudge for not being asked to sing on it. Instead a 3 year old got it. No not really, Chi Chi's voice is sooooo nice, but the whole thing is a bit MJ (R.I.P)

here*s a tasty little teaser-piece made by Elroy:

How do you know Spoek is writing? CAPS LOCK MASSIVE. Well look small letters have come to the Zombo blog, must mean Spoek is on vacation. Spoek didn't write a pre-nup therefore am I, the wife entitled to half of EVERYTHING, including this blog. Naw, he asked me to write, so I'm doing favours here. I'm a poser, not an imposer.

Anyways. I've come here to tell you to start stretchin cause tomorrow is friday and it's AYOBA DAY. AYOOOOOBA!
