We have been having the greatest time following BLK JKS on their maiden voyage to Europe this month. From Eastnor (Big Chill) to Dublin to Amsterdam to Paris back to Dublin to Liverpool and then to Notting Hill Carnival, KSPACE.TV has been the fly on the amp catching the very first breath of new fans [...]

Anybody who loves dance music may immediately think of London, Ibiza, Miami (WMC) and New York for the best of all of its hybrid and diverse forms. However with the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) coming into it’s 12th big year Oct 22-25, there can be no doubt that our sweet and smokey canal city rates [...]

You never know for sure what you get at a launch party but we’re happy to report that the K-Space Amsterdam launch event for the HEDERUS FOR K-SWISS Limited Edition kicks was all that ! Many thanks to all who came to celebrate with designer on the up ‘n up, Julia Hederus and all the [...]

Wind up your waist! Yeah Yeah its that famous time of year when London blast out that all-in-unison roar of bass echoes at the Notting Hill Carnival. Floats, flags, Don Letts…oh my! Here at K-Space.tv, carnival should never be a seasonal summertime affair, reason we are proudly getting down with the Seun Kuti and Fela’s [...]

The mud at Mantua festival was fine and all–BLK JKS onstage in full wellingtons!!–but the band felt compelled to return to Ireland for a couple of proper shows to fully illustrate its sound, minus the fog and horizontal rainfall so thoroughly enjoyed at the Ireland festival debut a few weeks ago. Three weeks into this [...]

This weekend I had the fortuity to embark on the magical “Mystery” tour of Paris with BLK JKS. Following a packed out discovery performance at La Fleche D’or on Saturday night, the fellas and I decided the next morning to do our own virgin exploration of the streets of Pa-ris. From the early [...]

dateline 9 aug 08 – AMSTERDAM!
Planes, trains and automobiles—BLK JKS made it to Amsterdam late last night, effectively stepping out of the chauffeured Cadillac that squired them from the airport in Brussels (after 2 days of back and forth to Dublin) and on to what is arguably the finest stage in the Netherlands: Paradiso. [...]

Amsterdam’s legendary Paradiso is rolling a mighty fine dice with the European debut performance of South African psych rockers BLK JKS. Our konnected bet is that with one glance at the vids and one listen, everyone in that room will begin calling out for BLK JKS, BLK JKS, BLK JKS!!!! Their independently released debut [...]

José James never stops dreaming. And why should he?! Tomorrow night Aug 6 José and his band will be headlining London’s premier music venue the Roundhouse (supported by Eska). Truly a dream come true for José so early on in his career to have the joy to perform in the same room where some [...]

Attending festivals can be like travelling without maps – sometimes you end up in a field and have no idea which way to turn, the proliferation of so many attractive horizons is too much to bear – man, what a line-up at the Big Chill this past weekend. Blk Jks, Little Dragon, Flying Lotus, Nickodemus [...]
