Danny McDermott is a graffiti writer in Glasgow who found his passion through street culture. “I was into skating and shortly after I fell into graff in a big way.” Graffiti culture is strong in Scotland, with multiple artists working in the field, but it remains an illegal and dangerous activity. “Some appreciate graffiti and work with graffiti artists on projects, usually regenerating run-down areas”. “I wish graffiti was more supported by the local councils and offered artists legal spots so people could express themselves in a safe environment instead of under bridges or down tunnels out of sight, like it doesn’t exist. That we could speak up instead of hiding all the time. Let us show our socialness, our creativity.”

The book No Risk No Reward: A History of Scottish Graffiti, will be released by Cargo Publishing in Winter 2011, and there will be a live graffiti jam during Social Media Week in Glasgow!

There are two types of travelers. One is the traveler open to meeting people, not shy to start a conversation and ever curious. The other is the traveler who fences himself from the crowd with his iPod, iPad or notebook. They can go through their journey without having had any contact with anyone except for at customs. The iPad is the latest addition to these means for seclusion. People from different industries and backgrounds make use of this inventive machine, and the most beautiful accessories and cases have been created for this device. Last time I was waiting for the plane, I was listening to some music on my iPad. My intention was seclusion, not to be social. I got quite annoyed when a gentleman tried to draw my attention for a conversation. He kept pointing at my iPad. He asked me, “Is your iPad case the one made by Travelteq?” I laughed, and proudly said yes. He saw it on a blog and mentioned that he was impressed to see it in real life! We then embarked on an amazing conversation during the flight. He turned out to be someone who owned a bicycle brand in Milan. Now we are possibly going to do collaborate with his company… Thank god for the persistent type 1. And of course the handsome new iPad 2 sleeve.

Popular Glasgow music collective, Numbers, bring us this post-dubstep/house track from Jamie XX with a big, summery sound and an undeniable reggae feel. The seven-minute long tune constantly progresses throughout, with the producer’s brilliantly crafted use of steel drums, big bass lines and endless buildups and drops, creating a relaxed and enjoyable, but eminently danceable end result. The single’s cover art of warm pinks and oranges match the vibe of this beautifully infectious song perfectly.

The extremely talented, Huntleys & Palmers Audio Club-signed, Glasgow-based electronic producer and DJ, Auntie Flo produces this addictive, upbeat samba/house remix of the Crystal Fighter’s track, Plage. The song features a delicately woven series of buildups with constant and extremely effective developments throughout. Its use of hard and energetic drums along with carefully placed guitar strings and soft vocal melodies work together to create a brilliantly danceable yet wonderfully laidback sound.

S-Type’s use of strong adventurous synth lines, incredibly intricate drum patterns, clever breakdowns and well-worked change-ups throughout, combine to carry this huge track through its various different stages of progression. This, combined with the soft melodic and folky vocals of Found’s Ziggy Campbell, turns an originally reflective, ambient and thoughtful track, into a hard-hitting club tune with enormous playability.
