Check out the tracks below. The soundcloud playlist and youtube videos are a sort of conga line of what people on the internets are talking about right now including new releases, re-issues and some just reified. The Verlaines – The Lady and the Lizard: If you like Joy Division and Pavement, you’ll love The Verlaines. Their 1985 […]

Diplo selects the best and bangin’est tracks from 2013 for a year-end sonic review. Fittingly, he starts the obese two-hour mix with Baauer’s game changing “Harlem Shake”, arguably the biggest most overplayed track of the year. Then it’s onto RL Grime and A$AP Skrillex, and you can pretty much tell where this is going. At nearly 60 […]

As is the case almost every year, 2013 was loaded with amazing music put out by the most creative artists of our age. We posted mixtapes from some of the biggest names in hip-hop like Pusha T, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Killer Mike x Big Boi, Jay-Z + 9th Wonder and then other tapes by […]

Well it’s that time of year again when we recap what we think were the best footwear offerings of 2013 — be they boots, slippers, high-tops, low-tops, sandals, whatever (OK, clearly no sandals).

LA streetwear powerhouse The Hundreds tap photographer Van Styles’ V/SUAL brand for a collaborative holiday collection for 2013. There’s also t-shirts involved in the collection, but really we’re just interested in Van Styles’ nifty camera work (much like with his “MIA/LA” Skateboard Deck Collection), because nothing says Xmas like a nice pair of sweater pillows boobies. […]

Converse Japan takes the timeless Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette and crafts them in three high end materials, packaging them as their “Workcloth” collection. The three high-tops feature the Chuck’s tractional All Star patch on the side, white outsole and white eyelets, but switches things up with three premium materials:  “duck” beige (below), “herringbone” grey […]

We jump into BMW’s renewed third generation M6 Coupe supercar, just to see if Bavaria’s regained its mojo. With menacing authority — and 580 horses + 500 lb-ft of torque — the carbon fiber crowned sled definitively says yes. The high performance GT is about all you can handle. All images by James Bailey. I’m […]
