Relentless presents –Lives Of The Artists: Follow Me Down

The new feature-length documentary from Relentless Energy Drink, ‘Lives of the Artists: Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
Enter the twisted and unpredictable realm of intense personal obsession and heroic artistic pursuit as we journey to the ends of the earth for the second chapter in our award-winning cinematic adventure, Lives of the Artists.
Featuring James Lavelle and UNKLE and legendary freeriders Jeremy Jones and Xavier De Le Rue, ‘Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
We travel to Antarctica, spurning the usual ‘heli-drop and ride’, big-mountain approach in search of the more visceral rewards that come with scaling each near-vertical face on foot. And we join UNKLE on tour in Tokyo, St. Petersburg and London, immersing ourselves in the uncompromising sounds and beliefs of a pioneering musical outfit that has strived to push the boundaries of artistic expression while retaining total integrity for close to 20 years.
The film vividly merges two disparate stories from entirely different worlds into one beautiful and compelling tribute to human perseverance.
The soundtrack to the film, scored exclusively by Unkle. Inspired by dreamy experimental electronica, sixties soundtracks and the ambient masterwerks of Brian Eno, the score act as an extraordinary tribute to the inward-looking nature of the film, as well as the vast and imposing locations where it was shot. A dark menace lurks beneath the surface of both soundtrack and film.

Vacation in Style

Vacation in Style

If you’re looking to spice up your next holiday, then try a different accommodation option. Many of us go on vacation every year, and even though we enjoy the same destination, we might be looking for a different experience. The best way to change up your holiday, and still enjoy familiar surroundings, is to can that old hotel, and grab some stylish accommodation. Holiday villas in Spain, for example, are the most popular among summer time vacationing tourists. Those traveling with their families, or just their spouses, enjoy the privacy and style a villa can offer. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway with all the comforts of home, or just extra space and bedrooms for your family, a villa is the way to go.

Villas can accommodate any budget, from the most pampering of properties, to simple and comfortable. They can include your own private pool, a beachside location, and plenty of facilities to make you feel right at home. The use of your own kitchen is a coveted luxury many enjoy. Communal spaces, such as a spacious living room, is also a nice change from an impersonal hotel room. Bring the family and enjoy the relaxed environment a villa can provide.
