The most exciting recent news from the shores of Brighton, UK is electro-pop band ‘Movement Ten’. A collaborative effort between Shadowless Man and The Sweet Chap, the project is completely artist made, promoted and released. On their debut album, which has received BBC airplay and a lot of positive feedback, you can hear a wide array of sounds, styles and influences ranging from Brit Pop to the more recent House/Electronic genres. The fusion of traditional sounds with elecronica is seamless and works very well on tracks like Gravity and Machine girl, which are my personal favourites from the album. However, to each his own, so choose your own posion by listening to their mixtape here:
If you like what you hear, the album and tracks can be purchased at their very informative and entertaining website: http://www.movementten.co.uk/

Karan Khurana ( Born in 1982, Mumbai, India) makes photos and mixed media artworks. By using popular themes such as pointlessness, old monuments and nightlife, Khurana creates intense personal moments by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.
His photos don’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.
His works are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, he makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of consumer-oriented superabundance and marketing.
His works often refer to pop and mass culture. Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created.
Karan Khurana currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany!
