+81 Magazine
Posted by admin on February 3rd, 2010
This week I made my way down to Japan Center at Piccadilly Circus in search of print publications. I was initially after Popeye a popular menswear magazine that has had good reviews. A little on the commercial side apparently but I’m still keen to check it out. With a trip in mind to the Far-East in September, I’m gaining more information and as much knowledge as possible about what’s happening over there right now. I’ve a fairly good understanding of some of the more left-field inclination of Japanese sub-culture, but I really want to garner a better understanding of popular themes right now.
The magazines at the Center are a great reference source, they had a number of Bape catalogues and also the recent Supreme publication which came with a free gift, through the cellophane it looked like a leopard print towel, I’m more than likely wrong. I am slightly obsessed with digital design and layout, always searching for innovative sites and formats, but print is really where it’s at. A dying medium that should be treasured, I’ve got rid of stacks of magazines over the years and have been buying them since as long as I can remember. It’s this love of magazines and magazine journalism which probably has led to me blogging.
One magazine which I did pick up while I was there was +81 Magazine. The issue is a photography special featuring interviews with and work by Ryan McGinley, Desiree Dolron, Risaku Suzuki, Stephen Gill, Peter Sutherland, Tim Barber, Marcelo Gomes, Eugenio Recuenco, Cozue Takagi. A wonderful source of photographers, compiled in a beautifully put together magazine.
Barbour To Ki To (Limited Edition)
Posted by admin on February 3rd, 2010
Some incredible new Barbour product over at Oi Polloi so much choice but I’ve chosen this limited edition collaboration with Japanese designers To Ki To. Fans of ACL will already be familiar with this, as Michael Williams posted a mini-feature at the tail-end of January. He got the scoop, which already alerted fans of Barbour across the globe.
I’ve discussed Barbour a great deal in branding terms and have used them as a case study many times. They’ve retained their classic British heritage while introducing collaborations, new styles, new language and themes, without alienating either end of the market. These jackets are outstanding and if I didn’t already own a Barbour I would certainly be investing in one of these pieces.
My jacket is around 18 months old now and has been put through some heavy handed wear, I’ll be sending it off for a clean and re-wax for the first time this summer. I’ll probably blog that process as I’ve looked into re-waxing myself, and in all honesty it looks like a total hassle I really could do without.
More images of the To Ki To jacket after the jump and the rest of the collection at Oi Polloi HERE.
Jamangle – SO SHAPE IT SPECIAL!!!!!
Posted by admin on February 2nd, 2010Jamangle has come through with an absolute banger of a mix. A good friend and an ally of the White Horse bass and beers massive, has put together an incredibly dirty and dark mix for your mash-up pleasure. A monster on the decks, this one is pure filth. The tracklisting is testament to that. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I am.
Cooly G – ‘XLR8R Podcast’
Posted by admin on February 2nd, 2010
Cooly G, she’s just dropped her own online TV show (see above) and a rather banging XLR8R podcast. You can download that with the tracklisting after the jump. So Cooly G, probably the most exciting thing happening in London’s underground world of hybrid Funky-esque, Techy, Minimal, Vocally Great, Running Out Of Superlatives Awesomeness. Gotta catch her playing out sooner rather than later.

Mad Decent even do promo videos for free downloadable podcasts. Now isn’t that something. Labels, step yo game up. Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix have put together a rather melodic, dare I say it “sensual” Dubstep mix for Valentines Day. Normally the memory of St. Valentine is treated as a cash cow for Clinton Cards and Florists up and down the country cashing in on Milk Tray, loveable Gorilla bears and crap cards with corny copy. Mad Decent though have taken it upon themselves to give you the best in “wobble” why you sit at home waiting by the phone for that special someone to call. Rave your lonely hearts away.
