Isssue number 2 of the No Ice Cream Sound fanzine is about to drop on August 22nd. It features:
Exclusive interviews with Sizzla, Ward 21, Solo Banton and Carolyn Cooper. A feature on Japanese Dancehall. Illustrations from GABE (SEEN), Smutlee (YoYo) and Karen Cazabon (HDD). An exclusive chart from Al Fingers. Gabriel Heatwave’s review of Showtime! and more … 50 pages of hand-printed bashment madness.
Now, number two is available: The »Boogie Down Live It Up« illustrations comes on various cuts – a simple short sleeve T-shirt and a racerback tanktop being my favourites.
Grab it at your favourite Stüssy dealer (German fans e.g. check Frontlineshop or HHV.de).
General Trix is a reggae artist from Amsterdam, Netherlands, who just released his brand new video for the first single »Walk Alone« included on his forthcoming album titled »Green Light« and produced by our favourite digital stylers Rough Lynx from Sweden (Digital Devotion, anyone?).
Besides the fact that »Walk Alone« is a nice tune, I really like the animations/illustrations in the clip which were contributed by Vasile Adnan.
Those who have been following our art director GABE‘s activities, might have read about him doing work for legendary streetwear brand Stüssy back in 2010.
»Today is a Good Day« because today, the first GABE meets Stüssy shirt – with that same name – was released. It is available in five colourways in Stüssy’s online shop and soon at a Stüssy dealer near you. GABE to the world!
Summer is near and the day will come that all your SEEN T-shirts are in the laundry and you need nice alternatives. We highly recommend the new collections/designs from our friends at Shimmy Shimmy and Dutty Artz as well as the latest Toddla Tee to master that situation:
After the successful first run of Shabba tees that sold out faster than you could say Mr Loverman, we’ve produced 5 new dancehall designs. The 5 tees are rooted in dancehall history, from the 80s to the present, from the iconic look of Shabba to a phrase made popular by one of 2010?s biggest songs.
Emeka Alams is my favorite “street-wear” designer – except I don’t know any other crews putting out gorgeous leather moccasins and imbuing their work with street-fresh historiography that goes thousands of fathoms deeper than your average hood-repping fitted or all over print tee. Gold Cost Trading is simply THAT SHIT. After selling out of our first run of DA logo tee’s last year (don’t worry there will be more in the Fall) I wanted to take our apparel game to that next level. With his its-just-clothes-but-more-than-just-clothes approach mirroring our own desire to push deeper then net-label or dj-collective would suggest it was a natural progression to link Emeka for a mini-collection.
