Trance legends John O’Callaghan (#24 DJ in the world) and Christopher Lawrence (#40 DJ in the world), alongside locals Eric Allen and Danny Taylor, blew the roof off of BOSS Nightclub for VIVID Entertainment‘s Trance Legends on October 29th, 2009.

Exactly one year ago, I saw John O’Callaghan for the first time at Dooms Night 2008 from the dance floor. Today, it’s really nice knowing I’ve had the chance to be a part of the scene (and shake a lot of famous hands).

Now, it’s just a matter of when I’ll be spinning myself.

Straight out of Kelowna, British Columbia, “Swagga” by Excision and Datsik is a sinister, unrelenting bass ride that will have you stepping whether you want to or not.

Imagine that there’s a giant robot whale living in your subwoofer – and he wants to eat you. And he has a bat. That’s Swagga.

Back when Marketing Ruined My Life (my now-defunct, marketing blog) was still around, I had a number of posts dedicated to clever outdoor ads. Helping us revisit that tradition are two upcoming billboards for Sega’s highly-anticipated action game, Bayonetta.

Each board reaches six feet wide and will feature a panel of detachable flyers, covering what one can only assume to be a naked Bayonetta. Or not. The only way to tell is to swallow that pride and grab a flyer.

These ads are set to run between October 26th and November 1st in Shinjuku Station, Tokyo, so if you’re in the area, don’t forget to grab a shot and fill us in!

Update (2009/10/29)
The ad went live and the flyers are gone. What’s underneath? Hair.
