Listen to this: The Mat Zo Mix 002
/Mat Zo has created what is easily in my top 5 list of favourite radio shows. This mix is bursting with energy and creativity that you usually don't see in other more drab radio shows. Mat Zo has recently quit Twitter, and maybe that was ultimately a good decision as he has since let the music do the talking.

Hooks from Zeds Dead shows off his graffiti skills (Video)
/Hooks from Zeds Dead showed off his graffiti art skills to Thump in a video to promote his upcoming Altered States tour starting this Fall:
Apparently Hooks was active in the graffiti Toronto scene from 2005-2008:
"I was really active from about 2005 to 2008, then I started to slow down a lot when we started touring. I was really influenced early on by a lot of writers from Toronto like Causr, Kane, Sight, Skam, Bacon, Kwest, Sent2, Koner, Fathom... to name a few. Also the book Subway Art had a big impact on my style. It's hard to pick a favorite of all time, but right now some of my favorites are Askew, Roids, Rime, Horfee, Revok, Atlas, and Sofles, in no particular order.
Did you ever have any graffiti-related drama?
Hooks: I've been in a lot of sketchy situations through graff. Been caught a few times. Painting at strange hours of the night in weird areas, you see a lot of the seedy underbelly of a city.
