Modern Fairytale Club

Originally drawn on the back of a bus ticket, these unique, interesting tees ooze style and simplicity. Only available in Kano's Dais Boutique (Byram Arcade, Huddersfield), these are a product of the Modern Fairytale Club and AnyWhichWay co-founder Tom and are likely to sell out quick. They even come with a free mini-pizza box so don't sleep!


At £10 a tee, you can't go wrong can you?
With a subtle blend of art and slick fashion, Tom has created a range of t-shirts that are sure to take Huddersfield by storm. At the moment there are only a few designs to choose from, however, sources close to the creator have suggested there are many more on the way, including the possibilty of a limited edition Slow Cookin' special. Just watch this space...

Slow Cookin' Vol 2 -J.Cub (E.A.R)


As promised the series continues and up for the second installment J.Cub co owner of strictly vinyl label E.A.R and ex co owner of Baker Street kindly sent us over a mix to use in the series, this is a mix slanting more towards the house side of things from the "eclectic" vinyl collector. The mix is a nice change from all the serious "cool" music that seems to be the flava of late and shows the groove and the soulful aspect of house.The mix contains some unknown to the majority classics and some totally fresh tracks (well ive never heard them anyway) as well as some you'll recognise and they will stay in your head all day.

The E.A.R gang have been releasing some seriously good tackle lately too from the likes of Ryan Shaw,PBR Streetgang,Joshua & J.Cub himself as well as throwing some insainly good partys too most recently with Rob Mello & Jay Tripwire as well as there first London showcase at the Horse & Groom.

 Get the mix downloaded and have a whirl yourself.


 
J.Cub kindly did us an in depth interview when frst started out which you can read here, you can also keep up to date with all thing's to do with the label E.A.R

This week the tracklist is for you guys to find out for yourselfs.

Chuck Chillout- KISS FM radioshow August 28th 1986.

Chuck Chillout & Red Alert


Here is a rap/hip hop mix in it's truest form, on the mix there's track from the likes of  a young LL Cool J, Boogie Down Productions & Run DMC. This is before all the Gangster shit came in to play and radio was the place to hear these records. I wish i'd have been around for these days as everything was fresh and new. These are the sort of shows that were ground breaking at the time as anyone with a radio could tune in and listen. Chillout Chuck was big name around this time on the NYC radio waves and this mix show case's why.

Chuck was also one of the first hip hop djs to break Japan and introduce them to the likes of  ATribe Called Quest,Busta Rhymes & Run DMC.Chuck’s affiliation with old- and new-school hip hop and R & B has helped him land the title of one of today’s most sought-after D.J.s


Get it downloaded get ya ghetto blaster out and enjoy it as Chuck mixes it all impeccably, taking us back to stripped down, sample-heavy days. WORD!

Slow Cookin' Vol 1 - Jamie Low

This is the first in a series of exclusive mixes which we are aiming stick up every other week (all being well).

First up is good friend & Slow cookin' favorite Jamie "Fatneck" Low (We Love. Ibiza, KSD). The mix is filled with tracks old/new & flows like an old lady's knitting needle. It also highlights why he is flown out to play the We Love Parties @ Space on the rave capital at least 4 times a year. He's been around a long time and selects the cream off the top of times gone by & was playing this "disco" sound well before the kids in vests latched on to it.

Jamie also runs the KSD partys which myself and Frase have been lucky enough to play at alongside Jamie's good friends/guests such as Greg Wilson, PBR Streetgang, Unabombers and Neil Scott.

This will be the first of many more to come and what a way to kick things off...
