When I was 5 years old, there was a tv-monopoly in my country, which meant one single tv-station run by the state, called Denmarks Radio – DR.

Little off topic hiphop flashback. Back in the mid 90s, the DJ world was taken over by a white, tall, skinny dude from Denmark called DJ Noize. Check out his two routines from 1995 and 1996, earning him a second and a first place at the DMC World Championship.

We continue the ILG series of classic graffiti shit with this little clip from the FX Video. When this video came out in 1998, the world had never seen nothing like it. FX had an allstar lineup of great writers from NYC, Germany and Puerto Rico and had been doing major mural productions for a few years in NYC and with this video they raised the level of production graffiti worldwide. Filmed and put together by Tommy Marron of Abstract Video, who later went on to do the Cope 2 – Kings Destroy video. If anyone know what Tommy is up to today, please let us know.
