So the annual Notting Hill Carnival is going down this weekend in London and with the London riots still fresh in everyone's minds I'm interested to see how things go this weekend. Last year I was lucky enough to be in London at the time of the festival and it was one of most enjoyable and memorable days of my life so I am hoping everything goes well this weekend! "HERE":http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/aug/25/importance-notting-hill-carnival-riots is an interesting article talking about this year's carnival and what the effects of the riots will likely have on it. 

Also check out my post + video + pics from my day at last years carnival > "HERE":http://sampology.com/blog/notting-hill-carnival-2010

Also... check out the video I've just made for the VIP mix of "Africa Hitech's":http://warp.net/records/africa-hitech track 'Out in the Street' which I have been hammering in all my recent DJ & AV sets.

All the black and white footage was actual taken from my mate Ben Osbourne's home movies from his time in the UK in 2001, most of the footage is from the St Paul's carnival in Bristol although there are a few clips from London Carnival as well.
