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. Check the projects section for more information.

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.

Under Your Tree #2 (Shafiq Husayn - En’ A-Free Ka)

27.12

Posted in Archive

Een artiest waar ik dit jaar veel van verwachtte. Shafiq Husayn zit immers bij de futuristische neo-soul groep Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Met het album En’ A-Free Ka trekt Shafiq de sound van de groep door, maar weet er toch ook zijn eigen draai aan te geven. Meer Afrika dus, met diepte, spiritualiteit en trommels. Luister maar eens naar tracks als Lil Girl, Nirvana of Evil Man (Flying Lotus remix) Een nieuwe weg voor deze eigenzinnige producer. Hopelijk stimuleert het Sa-Ra om in 2010 een album uit te brengen dat van begin tot eind klopt. Tot dat moment, koop je dit album.

Het album En’ A-Free Ka is ondermeer verkrijgbaar bij Rush Hour.
