The Corner Society Welcomes Producer Dominic Barber (a.k.a. MrDMBeats)

MrDMBeats is a 21-year-old producer from the UK. He fell in love with Hip-Hop after hearing Lupe Fiasco’s debut Food & Liquor. As a producer, he’s always loved using epic sounds to make a beat. He’s been drawn specifically to movie scores and is currently working on a tape on which he samples music from the film Gladiator.

His last major project was called Fellowship of the Bling. It came to fruition after his friend challenged him to flip a track off the “Lord of the Rings” soundtrack. It can be downloaded in its entirety on his DatPiff page. 

The Corner Society Welcomes Graphic Designer/Typographer Iain Budgen

Iain Budgen is a UCA Graphic Design student with a keen interest in typography, minimalism and illustration. His current project has been to create a new font he’s called “Kruptos.” The undertaking stemmed from an interest in disguising secrets. After several trial versions, the cryptic typeface was created with the intent of encouraging people to hide information in the public domain. It also has a few additional characters to encourage people to keep messages short.

You can download the font here

The Corner Society Welcomes Producer Jarion Alexander (a.k.a. JAYBeatz)

JAYBeatz is a 19-year-old music producer. Born and raised in Charlotte, NC, he grew up on hip-hop and R&B. He’s influenced by many artists, such as Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Kanye West, The-Dream. As a senior in high school, Jay decided that he wanted to learn how to produce music as a hobby. He searched for tutorials and guides to learn how to make music. He decided to make a few beats and get his friends opinions on them. After they gave him good feedback, he sent them around to some major hip hop artists.

Thus he entered a few production contests and excited when a major artist, MIMS, replied to one of his emails saying that he liked his work and was going to use it and put it on iTunes . He also is a mashup artist, and has had success with such mashes such as “Drake & The Weeknd - Trust Issues” and “Beyonce & The-Dream - Ghetto Dancin For You”.

Currently, Jay is a member of the Best Played Loud Music Group, and with his knowledge of hip-hop music production, he can help other artists get out their dreams and express their love for music.

You can download his music on his Bandcamp

The Corner Society Welcomes Artist Senhor Ricardo

Rather than a conventional biography, the piece accompanying Senhor Ricardo’s work speaks volumes about his character: “Blah blah, born in Lisbon, blah blah, based in London as a freelancer, blah blah, active in advertising, arts, and music, blah, blah.”

The Corner Society Welcomes Illustrator Chris B. Murray

Chris B. Murray is an artist / illustrator. Born in Upstate New York, he relocated to Philadelphia after graduating from R.I.T (Rochester, NY), with a chip on his shoulder and very little work experience. He still lives there and spends countless hours creating stimulating visuals, feasting on good eats with his girlfriend, Emily, and scolding their boxer puppy Chunk from chewing up everything in sight.

                    

He’s currently collaborating with Mariusz Zubrowski on a short animation entitled Simple Jesus Lovin’ Folk

The Corner Society Welcomes Illustrator Mat Pringle

 

Mat Pringle was born in South London. He spent an idyllic childhood climbing trees and drawing dinosaurs. After a few false starts, he studied graphic design at the London College of Communication, eventually stumbling his way into the murky world of illustration. He now spends his time doing fantastical figurative illustrations with epic attention to detail; working predominantly with dipping pen and ink. He has since expanded into print-making with the guidance of Print Club London and has since set up a ram-shackle screen-printing studio of his own. He continues drawing dinosaurs (only not quite as well).


His work has been featured in several exhibitions, such as: Multiplayer II (Gallery 1988, L.A), MuTate Britain, DIY London Seen, Pictoplasma Paris and Blisters On My Fingers. It can be found on album covers and sleeves which, as a self-confessed record nerd, makes him very happy. Clients include Threadless, Get A Grip, Cure Studios, Tor Press, Proper Songs and 2nd Drop Records.

Pringle is currently in talks to collaborate with Mariusz Zubrowski, The Corner Society’s lead administrator.

The Corner Society Welcomes Rapper/Actor/Poet Dominic Serendip

As an actor, Dominic Serendip has been on several off-Broadway productions. However, his main squeeze has always been music. His upcoming Hip-Hop album is entitled Live Lucid.

When interviewed by us, he described it a lifestyle, rather than an album. In making the record, he wanted to relate to his listener by getting past his own faults. He believes in inspiring his fans to reject limitations set by others and control their own faiths. 

The Corner Society has snagged his talents (and that of his recent collaborator, Alcohol&Ecstasy) for our first collaborative effort, Gorgeous
