It's all in the number

This is the year 2007 and also the year that I will turn twenty-seven. Ever since I was a child I was fascinated by the number twenty-seven and truly believed that when that number became my age I would be in a great place.

Back then, the picture involved me living in my own house in London, with a family, car and a dog. However I find myself far away from that picture. Now I live in Tokyo, with friends, no dog and a provisional license. But one thing rang true I am in a great place. ShantellMartin.Com will give you a little window into my world.

yes yes granddad

Today Shantell Martin headed up to Coppe’s studio to record her vocals for a track called koob’s, which will also feature Coppe’s vocals and will be produced by the super skab/t. Shortly before the recording started Shantell received a phone call from the U.K and was informed that her Granddad had just died. This was very upsetting news as Shantell was very close to him. Shantell decided to continue the recording dedicating it to Jim Martin...... her Granddad who lived to be a Great Granddad and experiencing life fully up to the grand age of 96!

Warning..... this is only for the strong eared!
Last year February at Test Tone Vol.20 Shantell Martin collaborated with the complex, noisy, free-improvisational circuit bending band (e)BOMBERS. Up until now this live show has only been up on Youtube split into 3 shorter videos, but now the whole live has been put up in its hotwired entirety for your all. Check it out HERE.

great stuff in Tokyo

Shantell Martin was invited to do live visuals at the ”Great Stuff Records” party this past Sunday. It was an afternoon affair, starting from 4pm and going on till midnight. Shantell Martin performed her signature live club illustrations to two of the world great house DJ’s Tom Craft and Ko Kimura, who was one of the very first DJs to spin House music in Japan and now is known as one of the most influential and most talented DJs in Japan. This event took place at a new club in Hamamatsucho called “Black room” which was fully equipped for the job! PingMag posted a few photos of Shantell Martins Live Club Illustrations up on their flickr page.
