Lifetime – Uniform Standard Fall/Winter 2012 Video

Vancouver’s Lifetime have just released their newest video for their Uniform Standard Collection for the fall/winter 2012 season. The video is shot in the wilds of British Columbia, which for me is very relatable as I just spent the last week driving through the Rockies from B.C. to Alberta and back. The video is directed by Brock Mitchell and features Jeremy Wallace, with narration by Gustave Many Bears and music by the Constantines. This is a beautifully shot video featuring Lifetime’s collection alongside our always impressive B.C. landscapes.

A$AP Rocky Live in Montreal

Here’s a slick short video of Harlem’s own A$AP Rocky preforming four of his well-known tracks on January 29th in Montreal. Show was opened by the dude Lunice (wish we had a clip of that), then A$AP came through and got the place going buck by the looks of it… so much good NYC rap right now, from the whole A$AP crew to Vinny Cha$e to Action Bronson to Mr. Muthaf***in’ Exquire. Ups to Lookout for doing this show, and rad to know Rocky can get across the border… Van show soon?

Trusst by Flavie Halais

Here’s an extremely well executed video featuring two of my good friends, Andrew Ly and Melissa Matos, the founders and directors of Trusst. The black and white treatment here really fits with their aesthetic, and I think the pari do a great job explaining their inspirations, motivation, and direction. A bit of an aside from the type of stuff we normally cover here but a great watch if you’ve any interest in the more conceptual ‘high fashion’ side of this biz.

Ensoe, Andrew Young, and Scott Sueme at Art Basel 2011

Presented by Montana, Graffuturism, and Catalog Creative, here is a recap video of Scott Sueme and Andrew Young’s trip to Art Basel in Miami, putting in work on both the facilitated walls and the streets. These guys are two of my favourite artists in Vancouver right now, and Young has a solo show coming up at Catalog Gallery this week, full of his highly impressive realism works. Shot by Bikes and edited by Rob Squire, this vid also features an unreleased Garde + Eames track that didn’t make the album and just happened to suit the cut pretty well. Enjoy.

Iron & Resin 2012 Brand Video

A pairing we can definitely support: Scott Toepfer recently hooked up with Iron & Resin to shoot their 2012 brand video, and even though it’s been out for a couple weeks and we’re a little late to the party, it’s just too good not to post. We’ve been super impressed by both parties over the past year, especially Toepfer for his It’s Better In The Wind series/video, and for his work with Iron & Resin last summer… expect more quality from all involved in 2012.

HBTV Presents FUCT – 20 Years of Erik Brunetti

HBTV recently put up this great short vid featuring interviews and footage of Erik Brunetti, as shot by David Gallardo during Bruntetti’s retrospective show at LA’s Union. From the writeup,

‘Concisely recapping 20 years of Erik Brunetti’s involvement with FUCT is difficult; the artist and graffiti writer founded the label in 1990 and has since attracted many people with re-interpreted cultural themes and iconography and above all else a strong opinion’

Nothing but respect and admiration for Brunetti and his many artistic outputs from the 84/85 camp, and this vid is definitely worth the watch.

Action Bronson & Statik Selektah – Well Done


There has been a bit of a resurgence in rap over the last year or so, with lots of new cats coming out such as Aesop Rock ASAP Rocky, Danny Brown, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Maffew Rogazino, Casey Veggies and many more, but one that has really stood out for me is Action Bronson. The Queens bred, Albanian descent, Ghostface-esque rapper has taken it back to classic NY rap shit. One thing that has been lacking in rap and rappers for that matter is style, charisma and character, and Bronsolini has all that. He rolls with the Smart Crew, and the Woodsmen (Mayhem Lauren etc.) who are two NY crews that are really doing it right now. He recently released the mixtape Well Done, produced by Statik Selektah, the combination of the two makes for some great new NY rap that I highly recommend you give a listen to. Bronson also keeps it real in the style dept; Polo, Carhart, Knicks hats, Oakleys, and shorts year round. Keep reading for a few of his videos as well as his Action in the Kitchen video series which is hilarious…
