October 24, 2012When I first saw this it definitely had the vibe of a Preacher inspired art-hoax, but from what we can tell (including satellite imagery) this is 100% legit. I’d never heard of “earth-art” before the start of this year, but I’m coming to like the ideals behind it, of which one Michael Heizer seems to be the embodiment of. Heizer’s…
September 13, 2012Alex Digard aka Tape-Echo is a constant source of fan-boy fascination for us. The Tape-Echo ideals of print, design and wax align with what brings us joy, and the Tape-Echo newspaper publication as well as the Analogue Love exhibition were massive highlights of 2011. Gutted then that we’re not around to see the new exhibition which launched this month, celebating…
August 5, 2012I think the best thing about My Wife Makes Dioramas is that for about a month no one actually knew who the real artist was, now announced as one Abby Goldman. It was in fact her husband, best known by his Reddit handle CapJax, who shot her work to fame, as it was he who posted the murder oriented, and…
July 5, 2012Although we didn’t specifically go looking for it, I couldn’t help but be taken in by some of the street art in Timisoara. The Romanian city’s culture of music, art, clubs and vibes is something unique, and infinitely more special than what I’d been expecting. We’re fortunate to have a link to the city, with who:ratio based there, and he…
June 13, 2012Kicking off Friday (15th) of this month (June) and running for about a month in their Soho locale, The Outsiders are hosting the first ever group show from The Chrome Angelz. Considering their impact on European and British graffiti scenes and styles, it’s surprising that this is the first show of this kind that’s been put together. Perhaps it’s due…
May 24, 2012Designs for AWK007 have been finalised, stamps for the outer sleeve and the record inners have been created and tested, and it’s all looking good. We’re staying tight on the details for this one until it drops (though the clues are about if you look for it), but we can tell you it’s a limited two-track 12″ with an original…
May 11, 2012Out to Night Slugs crew and Phonica for a wicked in-store last night. Girl Unit, L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok were all in attendance taking it in turns on decks to smash up the party from behind the decks. The full 4th Birthday night is going down in London next Friday, 18/5, at Crucifix Lane, get on it. Phonica…
April 25, 2012Though Daojia’s ‘Riego Street‘ is still heading out to stores, thought we’d get in early and share a little information on what’s coming after. Namely, the design behind our sixth release dropping in a few weeks time. NKC is returning to Awkward Movements, bringing some proper anthemic love. Two new tracks backed with heavyweight remixes from the one Maddslinky and…
April 2, 2012Mike Corbett aka Maccy is a proper hip-hop don, with whom I had the pleasure of living with many years back in a (chaotic) share-house in Australia. During this time he opened up a whole new level of music appreciation for me, from digging in the crates for jazz to beat production, to his late night freestyle sessions and history…
March 28, 2012Possibly the best studio decoration we’ve come across, Rob Ricketts A3 designs are the electronic image equivalent of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston when he first won the world title. Much like the Ali shot these are a simple, & clean representation of a turning point in a culture, the changing of a guard ignited by a brash youth that…
