Music
Music videos. Various styles. Mostly music that I like. 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s. Hip-hop, punk, electro, trance, new wave, pop and many others collected from different sources, mainly embedded from YouTube. Many less known or forgotten names like Inner City, Company B, Soul II Soul, Dr. Alban, Caron Wheeler. Oriental themes like Rachid Taha, Samira Said. Old Hip-hop oldschool like Grandmixer D.ST, Grandmaster Caz, Grandmaster Flash. Idols like Afrika Bambaataa, Van der Graaf, Madness, Blondie, Depeche Mode and Prodigy.
