Not quite Jamiroquai Virtual Insanity video but the Upside Down House on Brighton seafront is interesting. My children were into the photos you can take but took us a while to realise that...we were just wondering around thinking they have just stuck everything to the ceiling before that. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Mt89xAQIp/?igshid=r27vxvulm48b

Really enjoyed Camp Bestival this weekend. Big up to @robdabank1973 and the @campbestival team. Had a great time DJing in the Bollywood Tent. Slightly surreal playing some Jungle just before Vic Reeves did his DJ set. The mix up of performers always makes Bestival great fun. #campbestival #bestival https://www.instagram.com/p/B0g5HuUA-xw/?igshid=1fxfdlscbfwr7

I can’t believe we have another person with no empathy as Prime Minister. These photos were a few years ago when I saw Boris Johnson in the street in London and complained about their cuts to youth facilities and schools and even back then there was a queue of people from all backgrounds waiting to have a go at him (pre the “throw milkshakes at racists” era we are now in). #fightthepower #borisjohnson https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QhsPFgXfJ/?igshid=1rebx16f0zhbr

The @miamatangi documentary is very interesting. Well worth watching. You really get to see how people within the mainstream work to attack an artist when they get involved in telling the truth about politics. You get to see, as an artist how brave and strong you have to be to speak up on politics rather than keep quiet and just take the money. After watching I was thinking about Stormzy getting to number 1 with F*** The Government and F*** Boris line and how he is playing to huge crowds and rewinding that part. You have to big up any artist with a more main stream platform who really speaks honestly and through their art, platform real world situations, that the mainstream do not want people to hear. Been listening to my M.I.A records. Lots of them still sound so futuristic....Bird Flu still sounds crazy and bangs! Ofcourse Paper Planes is great and I never realised the chorus was repping that immigrant experience of "they're taking our jobs". Do check it as it is an inspiring watch. #mia #matangi https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OkLFwgRou/?igshid=f5pjnkzhmqtl
