Damn rights its starting to look like proper springtime out here in the Pac North West and the 84/85 boys are taking full advantage of it. As of late both Kevin and myself have been getting out as much as we can and doing all of the many things that take up our spare time, and here are a few pics from the last while from the both of us (as always you can follow us here and here).

Montreal label Deadwood reached out with this lookbook for the fall/winter 2012 season and we were quite happy with what we saw. The line is a “a merger of the canadian culture mixed with some darker influences,” and with that you know the 84/85 boys are down. The label keeps it simple with some good looking graphic tees, contrast pocket tees, a hoodie and a few unique accessories. Another strong point of note about the line is all of the items are either printed, casted and assembled in Canada. Read through for the rest of the lookbook and check their shop for the collection.

The collaboration between Sylvester from Brakeless and Meka, here’s the fall 2012 lookbook from Montreal’s Idlehand, a new venture following their Zombie Corp collection from a while back. From their about,
‘Street culture and responsibility: these are the themes at the heart of the first collection of IDLEHAND. Taking off where “Brakeless x ZOMBIEcorp” had left them, this first collection is as much a reference to the duos experiences within their motorcycle club than it is to their deep values: authenticity, positivity, and simplicity.’

Very excited that the video for Ango‘s lead single from the forthcoming Serpentine LP has dropped, directed by Paul Labonte and styled by Melissa Matos. The song Paralyzed was produced by Prison Garde and myself, and I’m very honored to be part of this project which includes tunes from other artists such as Jacques Greene, Kuedo, and Numan, as well as original Ango productions. The LP will be a free release on the 17th through LuckyMe, get ready for one of the most innovated R&B full-lengths of 2012.

This got me stoked when I was doing my bookmark rounds this morning… Meka from Idlehands / Dead Riders shot this GoPro vid of their 2011 run from MTL to NYC for the Brooklyn Invitational. The vid also features some of my favourite people in the world, Syl, Jesse, Yoan and Denis. Riding with your friends, there’s nothing better… just had a great weekend of that ourselves.

Love this f/w 2012 collection from RAD by Rad Hourani at NYFW… mostly because of the deep green with black galore, so much better than it should be. Also, this vid is great, and I am taken aback by the soundtrack, provided by my good friend Mekele. Rad is one of the few high fashion/concept lines I appreciate season after season, and there’s so much more from the designer on the horizon…

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?
