I came across Killspencer a while back when someone mentioned a company making bags from vintage military tarps and cloths. Then i noticed that they have since then, included accessory bags and hardware into their line. Now, seeing as how many of us (I), are ballin on a budget these days, it seems kinda ridiculous to drop 4-500 bucks on a bag and then 15-30 dollars (a piece) on matching minutiae (aka nails, velcro, and shoulder straps)… but on the other side of the coin, it kinda makes more sense than not.
As a guy, i want my gear to look good. but just as importantly, i want it to perform and hold up even better. if i had a metal lathe and a drill press in my garage, you can trust i’d be making custom stamped nails, bag “hubs” and such n such.

details and durability.

on a bit of a tangent, this line reminds me a bit of my grandfather. he was always taking stuff home from the dump (or as he called it, the happy hunting ground) and using those items in the garage. not only was it free, but it’s true… they don’t make things like they used to. i’m sure had he found some, he’d have made a bag or at least a rain poncho out of some old army tarps.
and had my grandfather had a computer, im sure his garage tool wall woulda had usb cables and hard drive enclosures strapped up and hooked to his tool wall next to his crow bar and hammer.

i got hip to tokimonsta after she did a remix for shing02’s big city lights. and after more digi digging i became a tokifan. toki’s style is pretty random and diverse… however not styleless. she ranges from breakbeat sampley loop sounds to grimey syth glitch slap (i don’t describe genres. i invent them) without sounding random or unfocused.
she has a mix up for takeflightclub. it’s a free download so peep the linkage and cop some new music.

google has notoriously cool offices. ive seen pictures of incase’s sweet diggs and i came across this post on abduzeedo.com about facebook’s well designed work space.



(yo facebook, if you need a dj, holler in the squalor!)


ive always felt that good workspace fosters good output, i think the facebook offices are a clear example of that. (myspace whats your office game like?)

so before the end of the year i just wanted to highlight some musics/artists that i have been listening to.

suzi analogue. she keeps it pumpin. a lot of her music definitely has that grimey electronic dilla infused sound. but on the other side of the coin it’s panty droppin music to F* to.

ive been listening to a lot of devonwho instrumentals and remixes. he did nice little remix of the suzi analogue track i posted. you can peep the remix here

a fellow dj from the LA put me up to MeLo-x’s album Mustafa’s Renaissance. Then after Maxwell but out Blacksummer’s night, i heard about MeLo-X’s remix treatment to that album. i keep it in one itunes playlist with Blacksummer’s night. MeLo managed to flip songs off the album and make em different while keeping the original vibe and/or emphasizing certain emotions off the song he flipped. in anycase, ive been knocking his maxwell remix project for a minute

180 grammes in paris is redefining how you color coordinate.

they have a deal with nike and are color matching almost anything you can think of.
