Crazy Birds

A 21st century guide to new music, art, media and lifestyle. In a digital world where so many new things can be discovered, this is the place where the good things in life collide.

Digital Playground

Crazy Birds started out as a digital business card for Amsterdam based entrepreneur Gijs van der Togt, trained as an urban sociologist and experienced in media, concept development and (copy) writing. After working for several media companies, the urge to develop something new emerged. Crazy Birds, a daily updated digital playground for a savvy audience was born. Nowadays fuelled with help from contributors in media, music, fashion and art.

Crazy Birds is a platform for advertising agencies, media companies, record companies and ofcourse brands to highlight their products. Do mind we only curate good things.

Meet Mayer Hawthorne

When we found out promising soul artist Mayer Hawthorne was in town, we got excited and decided to do a short film about him with help from our friends at Mamamess and Rush Hour.

Viral

We strongly believe in content-driven short films, made from the heart. Because we discovered this artist in an early stage, the amount of attention from various print magazines and internet-media was overwhelming.

Blackmagic by Jose James

03.11

Posted in Archive

Friendswelove sprak met soulzanger Jose James, die begin volgend jaar met Blackmagic komt. In de film zitten een aantal snippets van dit tweede album van de zanger. Ik heb trouwens de eerste vijf tracks mogen horen. Die klonken meer dan goed. Briljant zelfs. Ik twijfel er dan ook geen moment aan dat dit de grootste jazzrelease van volgend jaar wordt. Helemaal niet gek als je bedenkt dat elite-producers zoals Moodymann, Flying Lotus, DJ Mitsu the Beats en Benga zich ermee hebben bemoeid. Volgend jaar is eigendom van JJ. De man met die fluwelen soulstem.

Van de door Flying Lotus geproduceerde eerste single Blackmagic, zijn een aantal remixen uit, ondermeer de Joy Orbison’s Recreation, geproduceerd door new kid Joy Orbison
