House Of Harrington







Curtis Harrington began making films as a teenager in the 1940s, beginning with his take on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" on 8mm. During his fifty year career as a director, Harrington made many horror films dealing with the unseen and the macabre, featuring legendary Hollywood stars. "House of Harrington" profiles Curtis' fascinating career, which ended with a full-circle return to the work of Edgar Allan Poe in 2002

♪♫ The Bug ft. Flowdan - Dirty


The Bug has put together a new video for Dirty ahead of the release of the 'Filthy' EP next week. As one commentor on the video points out, "Didn't he put Danny Brown on this beat before????" The answer is given by none other than The Bug's label, Ninja Tune: "Yes indeed - one riddim, two versions, carrying on age-old traditions!" For those that may have felt that the concrete-smashing sub bass of the original riddim was too rooted in London and an ill-fit for Brown's American accentDirty should rectify that, featuring grime MC (and previous collaborator) Flowdan in Brown's place.
Ninja Tune will release the 'Filthy' EP on August 12th
