The folks at Stussy hook it up once again with a first sneak peek of the collaboration between Stussy Deluxe and Reyn Spooner, that will be dropping this month. For their Summer ‘10 line Stussy teamed up with Hawaii- based Reyn Spooner. Having a collabo with a company that has taken the traditional Hawaiian shirt to the heights and level of casual American classic goes in line with Stussy’s move toward American West Coast authentics.

The Stussy X Reyn Spooner capsule collection features an iconic Reyn Spooner print modified with Stussy’s iconic handscript across sixteen pieces including shirts, walking shorts, swimwear, windbreakers and a range of accessories including bags by Japan-based Porter and a slip-on, cork foot bed sandal by Japan-based brand Tatami. All feature Reyn-Spooner’s classic inside-out construction.

Also be sure to check for Stussy commissioned legendary book creator and art director Tom Adler to oversee a photo shoot for the project that captures the essence of a Golden Age in California. The collection will be available at Stussy Chapter Stores and online.

Altamont x Bill Owens x Underworld Live

A collaboration between Altamont and Underworld Monteral brings the long awaited and much anticipated reopening of Underworld Live Venue with custom graphics. It will feature the iconic imagery of Altamont contributor and legendary photographer Bill Owens’ actual photos from the ill-fated festival at Altamont Speedway in 1969.

Before getting closed down by the fire department in the mid to late 90’s some of the best hardcore and punk bands in the world such as, Strung out and Anti Flag, played the original UW Live Venue. Now UW Live Venue is back again with a brand new location in downtown Montreal, right above Underworld’s new Montreal store at 251 St- Catherine East.

The new venue is still all ages and is hosting all the best touring bands in the world. When in Montreal be sure to catch a show.

Palladium Boots Pirate Radio

To coincide with the re-launch of the legendary boot brand in the UK market, Palladium’s intrepid explorers took to the rooftops of London’s inner city tower blocks to find illegal pirate radio antenna, and into the hidden studios of the pirates themselves.

Born in the 1960’s, the original pirates found an offshore base of operations in rusting anti-aircraft towers standing in the mouth of the River Thames.  These strange structures remain today and Palladium took a boat ride to climb aboard and see where pirate radio started. Today, pirate radio is everywhere in London, hidden in plain sight.  While the internet is changing the landscape of radio broadcasting, the pirate’s role of breaking new music remains the same.

London Pirate Radio is now playing HERE

Palladium’s UK launch was marked with an event in conjunction with retailer size in East London’s Shoreditch, at The Old Blue Last, voted the UK’s best live music venue by the NME. The event included the first public screening of Palladium’s London Pirate Radio documentary film, and performances by DJ’s and MC’s from the film, including Logan Sama, J2K, Jammer and Ms Dynamite. Featured in the documentary, London-based grime DJ Logan Sama has put together an exclusive mix for Palladium.
