Gone are the days of a good rum coming from some white-sanded Caribbean island. Now is the time when the cane juice comes straight from the original 13 colonies. Massachusetts-made Privateer Rum is kind of on the Plymouth Rock tip, priding itself as being a “true American rum”.  The claim is that the changing seasons […]

As you indubitably recall, Terry Guilliam has a new movie coming out: Zero Theorem (which we previously covered here). And apparently, although we’ll believe it when we see it, the upcoming film is reported to have all the weirdness needed to harken back to the brilliance of Brazil. Christopher Walz, who won our attention since Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained, stars as a […]

Disclosure have been killing it pretty much all over the place lately. In case you haven’t noticed, they played the Brit Awards with Lorde, ran Coachella, rocked the Infiniti/Red Bull boat at the Monaco GP last weekend and pretty much rule the house universe with an iron fist.

More Motor City Drum Ensemble than Joy Orbison, Disclosure’s production is foliated […]

“Our goal wasn’t to create a label but rather to develop Bromance as a brand that would work as a guarantee for successful parties. Our brand is all about Music.” Words from Manu Barron, co-founder of the esteemed Bromance label. And indeed, I was originally drawn to Bromance by its sounds of SPK as stereo-totaled by Gesaffelstein on his album Aleph. Which […]

Los Angeles-based Meister — aka MSTR — has just launched a new collection of watches for their upcoming 2014 season. While they maintain the rugged male-oriented aesthetic Meister is known for, the newest line moves away from the large, bold-faced watches of yore and evolves toward a slimmer, more refined style — one heavily influenced […]
