Let’s start the day with a jazzy hip-hop summer vibe! Y’skid is a Dutch producer who is in the game for a lot of years now and has done great tracks for people like Extince, Brainpower and Fresku. Now it’s time for a beattape from his own hand. As Y’skid quoted; a perfect sound for a nice hot coffee in the summer evening.. I hope you enjoy this tape as much as I do, cause Y’skid will be making a nice mix for NRFTO in a couple of weeks. Stay Tuned!
Colorful Sounds
LUX expo
Today my expo at LUX café will start. From 5 pm till 7 pm there is an official opening and you can have a drink or something to eat. Three paintings will be shown till the 14th of September. Together with the new website, photos of the new paintings will be uploaded. Hope to see you tonight, your all invited!
You must think first before you move
New collection is out now, available now at : As It Is, Oh My Tees, Mac Fly and Devotee Apparel. It’s a small but solid collection. Going out from a color-combination of white, blue and ‘khaki’. I tried to mix these colors on a shirt and that t-shirt will be matched with other apparel. In the next weeks we’re making a official photo-shoot for these items. It’s a new thing that I’m working on. I’ll keep you posted!
take it out on the streets
I made a poster for Devotee Apparel. One of my early ideas was to make a advertising poster out of a painting. I think it’s interesting to play with quantities. If you make one painting; the value is bigger than when you make a dozen. People like to buy exclusive stuff and prefer if there is a limited stock. Everybody knows how it works. Thinking about bigger brands and there products like Porsche for example, gives it an other effect. A Porsche where there are thousands of made is still exclusive, and puts you in a higher range of products. It has the same effect on paintings from famous artists. As I’m also interested in street art. For me the poster gives a more wide perspective, people can see the painting as a poster on the streets. And there is not just one hanging above someones couch, instead of a painting. A like both ways equally, however to play with these directions, makes it more interesting! In the future I’ll be making more of these, I like to take it more in the streets and maybe even bigger. Kinda like Daniel Buren who took his brush to the streets. Some plans are running wild in my head, so I better start writing some shit down now..
DISCO DISCO
All famous dutch bloggers already posted this mix and it’s seams kinda irrelevant for me to blog it too. But after listening to it a few times, it really keeps me going and I want more people to get a hold of it. Rotterdam finest Dj , Jeff Solo made this mix for the party called Don.

Comments »Stock & Dimes
Finally; tomorrow will start the first event of Stock and Dimes. A market where die hard sneaker collectors can sell, trade or buy sneakers.
The whole day talking about shoes and shoes.
If you are not interested in sneakers then again you should check it out. Perhaps you find something nice. Or you can buy some t-shirts and other stuff that’s related to streetwear. And Dj’s will be spinning some records all day long. I’ll have my stand ready for NRFTO and I’m selling some sneakers too.
