I just spent the last half hour wandering the online magazine from Jalou Gallery which is great! I fell into the section NEW TALENT which is currently hosting the photographer Benjamin Stasola. Im not 100% sure, (please correct me if I am wrong) but I think he writes some great music also?? Anyway, the photos are gorgeous and you should check them out. Jalou Gallery is very wonderful also x

Would you agree that when you stumble across something really extra, the first thing you want to do is tell somebody? This is exactly how it went down when I found Samurai.fm. Celebrating their fifth birthday earlier this year, the Tokyo based internet radio station have been connecting their online audience with mixes from the industries best. Often the artists’ sets available are made to measure for the site or recorded live from an event, amplifying the exclusivity of the selection. As an opened minded/forward thinking collective Samurai.fm have developed strong ties with the UK, running party circuits between Japan & London. Their philosophy; ‘we play anything that we think is new and exciting.’ The simple truth that has made this station one of the most respected guides to the freshest international music scene. Currently featuring Samon Kawamura from Jazzy Sport fame; a mix not to be missed. It’s time to tune in.

Edo Bertogolio came to New York in 1976 as a young film student looking for …anything. He left the art crazed city in 1990 as a celebrated artist and staff photographer for Interview Magazine. He was in the ‘right’ group along with artists, musicians, writers and whatever else was surrounding Andy Warhol’s Factory. With a serious drug addiction that he kept alive by selling everything he owned, he managed to make exception for his two chests full of photographs and negatives of past lovers and friends, some of whom did not survive the AIDS and OD epidemic of that time.
After fleeing his situation to Italy for fifteen years, he decided to come back and face the city that stole his friends and lovers and reconnect them to his photographs. In doing so he has created a documentary film, Face Addict. Based on his journey back to NYC, the film is confessional and at times dark. A piece of art history made of a remarkable time. Out this week, Dazed Digital talks to Edo Betogolio about his latest work.
