Just the Tip mix by DJ Shingo

Posted on DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 2:34PM

I finally got around to doing a mix! This is the last mix in our ‘Just the Tip’ series. I was supposed to keep it at 30 minutes, but I went further with 51 minutes. It’s a bit difficult to include all types of music that I’m into one short mix of course. Regardless I’ve kept it pretty much on the fun side of things, with tracks that I instantly loved. (ie: Dam Funk, Apiento Edit of Sade’s ‘Paradise’, NSI, etc.). By the way, anybody going to catch the Dam Funk show at the Drake Underground tonight? Haven’t seen him perform yet…or is it a DJ set? Not crazy about the venue, but Dammmmmm Funk! (somebody bring me a coffee). Hopefully see you there!

Anyhow, back to this mix… it’s pretty laid back and chill for the first 2/3 then kicks in the last 1/3. You can download it below. Enjoy!

Web Girl (2010 mix) print for sale!

Posted on DateWednesday, February 24, 2010 at 1:45PM

 

I've remixed one of my previous works called 'WWW girl' originally commissioned for WEB magazine in Korea. Lately I've started experimenting a bit with patterns and colours a bit, and wanted to see what this image would look like if I had done it nowadays. I like the result a lot. This will be offered as a giclee print as well over at Inprnt.com, very soon.

BUY!

Popular Mechanics

Posted on DateMonday, February 8, 2010 at 2:56PM


Just finished a batch of infographics for the April 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. I approached the colour with a more retro feel, and with the line work kept it bold and simple. I love doing these because I've always loved the aesthetic of them. Although, I haven't seen any lately, when flying, that I've liked. Would love to redo Air Canada's...

Naughty or Nice?

Posted on DateThursday, December 24, 2009 at 2:00AM

So another end to a rather tough year, and what better way to go out with a bang? I'm not sure myself what I will be doing, but I know it's been tough for many people this year. All I know is that we all deserve a good party, especially for New Years. Forget the crap, bring in the positivity! So whatever, wherever that party may be, enjoy it like it's your last. It won't be, but it's always more fun that way.

Anyhow, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your families! Thank you for your support over the year, and hopefully you lovely people still will in the new year! 

By the way, I have some upcoming products coming up very soon in the new year, so be sure to sure to come back. All the best in 2010.

Much Love.

The Return of Hot Sauce: Tabasco Beats.

Posted on DateWednesday, December 2, 2009 at 3:14PM

 

 

DECEMBER 12, 2009


HOTSAUCE: Tabasco Beats

DJs: SHINGO / MISSRUCKUS / URBANSTEVE


>>> UNIT BAR <<<
1198 Queen St. W, Toronto

 

It's been quite a long time since we last played out. There's been so much great music being released these days, that we can no longer ignore the temptation to DJ once again. (Not that we quit.) I usually keep music news and thoughts to my HOTSAUCE blog, but I'll still drop announcements here for events. As with 99% of my flyers and posters for my events it's my original work. This time around I've dropped the G.I. Joe motifs (totally random I know), and went for a more retro typographic approach (more fitting). Let me know what you think!

The Fate of Abra-Cat-Abra.

Posted on DateMonday, November 30, 2009 at 12:09PM

So as you may know, my T-shirt submission for Threadless, which was entered into it's 7-day voting thing, has ended. Thank you to all those who voted for me! Thank you for the high fives!

On the flipside, I got a lot of votes, but not a great score. Feeling a little disappointed. (Love that graphic!). I won't know officially until after around two weeks or so. We'll just have to see... fingers crossed!

Published in Idea magazine.

Posted on DateTuesday, November 17, 2009 at 4:43PM

The good folks at Idea Design magazine (Taiwan) have published me in their latest Illustration special issue (Oct/Nov). There are 11 works from the last few years featured. Not only that I'm on the front and back cover. Goes to show that working on a series, does pays off rather than one-offs. Oh, and if anyone happens to read what it says in Mandarin Chinese, please let me know!

Bunny and Panda.

Posted on DateTuesday, November 10, 2009 at 9:00AM

I've uploaded some sketches for some recent T-shirts I did for Bluenotes. I'll upload photos of the shirts once they come out. 

On a different note, musically I've been really feeling the cosmic disco stuff lately. Check out the new mix by Pocketknife & Cousin Cole called 'Tambourine Dream'. It's insane! Highly recommend to all the Indie music lovers out there. And if you don't like Indie, then it may open you up to it. Amongst the many highlights in it, my favorite is definitely Joanna Newsom's 'The Book Of Right On' (Pocketknife's Scowling Owl Remix)'. Hit Play. It's awesome.
