The respected streetwear and skateboard store, Fifty Fifty have teamed forces with fellow Bristolian artist Rich T to produce a T-shirt paying homage to De La Soul’s 1989 debut album ‘3 Feet High And Rising’, whilst cleverly referencing the ‘black Bart phenomenon’ of the 90′s. For those unfamiliar, the black Bart phenomenon was the metamorphosis of the infamous cartoon character, found on bootleg T-shirts in every corner of the globe. [Read more →]

Simian Mobile Disco Announce Unpatterns
22.02.12
SMD have remained key figures in the UK electronic scene since forming out of the willowing embers of their former band Simian. Along with Justice and Digitalism, they were the axis of electro house brashness that ruled in the Kitsune and Ed Banger years; however the duo’s longevity and enduring talent can be demonstrated in their gradual move towards an arid, heaving techno sound.

Introducing: Mokona
22.02.12
Few producers outside the Night Slugs camp are ever championed by Bok Bok. Mokona is one of them. Describing the music that he makes, however, is something of an uphill battle. Calling it “bass music” is something of a cop out, as his music isn’t purely focused on low end. “Oh, the genre thing haha. I like to overly simplify things by saying “electronic music”, usually that satisfies people. In reality though, to me it’s a bit of “wot do u call it”. I don’t really feel like I belong to a certain genre.” [Read more →]

Supreme S/S ’12 Collection
21.02.12
New York City’s iconic skate brand Supreme really know how to build hype when it comes to releasing a new collection, and in a similar vein to previous drops we see the label teaming with British supermodel Kate Moss and getting sticky with their viral add earlier in the month, plastering NYC walls with all the signature ingredients; super-hot super-model, Supreme trademark red bar logo tee, and loud cheetah print fur. For the brand that needs no introduction this year’s release will surely bring plenty of discussion between its intense internet lovers/ haters, but you will be hard pushed to find something you don’t feel from this broad Spring/ Summer 2012 clothing range now previewing worldwide for us to take a peep at.

Review: Gerry Read – Yeh Come Dance
21.02.12
I feel old. That moment when a family member turns a bit mushy and tells you what a ‘fine young chap’ you’ve grown into is not something I was expecting to relate to at this age. But it’s a similar feeling I have towards Gerry Read. If you hadn’t heard, he’s had a fairly decent year. With a limited edition collab on RAMP with Kevin McPhee and a string of release’s on the RAMP offshoot Fourth Wave, Cosmin TRG decided to put Legs into his RA mix and now Maya Jane Coles has selected Youandewan’s remix of Roomland to go in her DJ Kicks.
