Download on iTunes: bit.ly J Majik and Wickaman teamed up with Josh Cole, an award winning stills photographer, to bring you their new video for summer anthem ‘In Pieces’, which features rising star Dee Freer. Having begun his career as a hip-hop photographer, Josh now shoots advertising and fashion and is well known for his hard-hitting reportage work with subcultures and subjects including street gangs, gypsies, breakdancers and graffiti artists from across the globe. For the past 6 years, Josh has been shooting a personal project – ‘Physical Graffiti’ – about street dancers from around the world. As an extension of this project, Josh decided to return to Rwanda to shoot a film about the dancers there and in neighbouring Burundi. Josh first visited Rwanda to do a story for The Independent on his old friend Dicken Marshall, who went to Rwanda to start a ‘fair trade’ recording studio and record label, www.rafikirecords.com. Dicken then acted as producer on this film and introduced Josh to the best dancers in the region. The video to ‘In Pieces’ was shot in the most deprived and poorest parts of the country’s capitals, Kigali and Bujumbura. The idea of the film is to show the powerful energy that comes from personal hardship, which is a central theme of his work. ‘In Pieces’ is out now on Ministry of Sound Recordings. http www.twitter.com www.twitter.com www.facebook.com
