Filmmaker Benn Veasey’s music video for Sub Focus’ Vibration is a globe-spanning ode to the power of dance and community. Through an impressive collage of AI generated imagery, Veasey whisks us through time, space and history, taking us on a tour of humanity’s relationship with expressive movement. For his video Veasey utilised MidJourney, a generative artificial intelligence program, which allowed him to create the incredible mass of images needed to pull off his ambitious idea. Dn is delighted to premiere Vibration on our pages today and is joined by Veasey for a thorough conversation where we dig into the challenges of using AI to create art, the importance of not being blinded by style over substance, and the lengthy process it takes to not only create these images but edit them together in a way that offers emotional resonance.

New Delhi, June 15 (Ians) West Indies fast-bowling legend Sir Andy Roberts has slammed the Indian men’s cricket team after their 209-run defeat to Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship Final at The Oval, saying that arrogance has sneaked into the national set-up.
“There is this arrogance which has crept into Indian cricket and through this, India have underestimated the rest of the world. India must decide what their focus is-Test cricket or limited overs cricket. T20 cricket will run its course. There is no contest between bat and ball there,” Roberts was quoted as saying by mid-day on Thursday.
Roberts, the spearhead of West Indies’ fiery bowling line-up in the 1970s and 1980s, pointed out that India have some very good players, but they have not put in worthwhile performances away from home.
“I expected India to show their batting strength. I saw no bright spot in the final...

Mulder would have loved this one. Former Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association Philip Mantle recently released a book about the grainy black-and-white film footage that surfaced in 1995 claiming to be autopsy footage of the Roswell aliens taken in 1947.
All the details on Roswell Alien Autopsy: The Truth Behind the Film That Shocked the World are below. To purchase a copy, you can go right to Roswell Books.
From the Press Release
After the alleged recovery of a UFO and its occupants near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, did the U.S. military conduct an autopsy on the fallen creatures while cameras documented the eerie event? A new book closely examines the autopsy film. Sixty-five years ago, a strange object crashed in the desert north of Roswell, New Mexico, and witnesses claimed that the bodies of "extraterrestrials" were recovered by the U.S. military and taken to...

Documentary about the heyday of the West Indies cricket side of the 1970s and 80s. It has detailed insights, but more interviews than match footage
The second cricket documentary in a couple of weeks examines a subject slightly less familar to UK audiences, perhaps, than the Botham-powered From the Ashes. Here we are enlightened as to the backstory behind the "blackwash" – how the West Indies assembled their fearsome pace attack under the leadership of Clive Lloyd in the mid-70s, and went on to obliterate all comers for some 15 years, including that famous 5-0 thrashing of England in 1984. The battering they got in Australia in 1976 is revealed as the turning point; though hampered a little by a paucity of match footage, forthright interviews with the key performers – Viv Richards, Colin Croft, Andy Roberts, Lloyd himself – provide detailed insight, harnessing the rising tide of the 70s black power movement to engineer...

How I managed to come out alive after facing the feared West Indies fast bowlers in their heyday
Last winter, by chance, I found myself travelling to Australia with Viv Richards, who was on his way to do some "King and I"-type gigs with Rodney Hogg, the former Australian fast bowler. We've known each other a long time, Viv and I, but I'd never got round to asking him one particular question. So I did.
"If you had to choose four fast bowlers of your time with West Indies, which would they be?" He replied: "Well, I would have Malcolm. And I would have Andy. And I would have Mikey." He pondered a little longer. "And I would have Curtly." So there you have it, Viv Richards' dream attack: Malcolm Marshall, the slithering genius; Andy Roberts, cerebral, calculating, the Godfather of the modern West Indian pacemen; Michael Holding,...

My Ayrton-Senna-as-panto-villain stance had never been properly challenged until I saw a preview of Asif Kapadia's upcoming documentary
I have only the vaguest idea where I was when Princess Diana died, and hopefully you'll have guessed from the photo that I wasn't around for JFK. But I remember exactly where I heard about Ayrton Senna's death. I was in my dad's Volvo 245 Estate on the A1081 from St Albans to Harpenden, coming home from choir rehearsal. We'd seen him crash, live on television, earlier in the afternoon. They hadn't shown a replay. Now, two hours later, a radio bulletin was explaining that his brain injuries had been too severe for him to survive.
I remember feeling surprised and even a little guilty as the tears formed in my 15-year-old eyes, and Dad drove on in respectful silence. Senna, it's fair to say, had not been a much-loved figure in our household,...
