King Britt at Melodic.

King Britt at Melodic this Wednesday. King Britt says of himself, "Well, bios are funny because they tell the story of the past of who you are in the present. I try to only live in the present and the future (as I said, try). Even though beginning my career in 1990 on the now legendary house label Strictly Rhythm as E- Culture, being Silkworm in the groundbreaking, Grammy winning Digable Planets, starting Ovum Recordings with Josh Wink, producing platinum remixes for Macy Gray, Solange, Donna Lewis and hundreds of others, winning the highest grant in the country as the first dj/producer, The Pew Fellowship or starting my empire, FiveSixMedia, I still try to live in the NOW and not the then.

So of course, now, I am a father, fiance', musicologist of sorts and media revolutionary. My label and company FiveSixMedia, set the example of an individual who is able to live outside the box and show what freedom truly is. Doing my own thing on my own time and assisting other to move into that space as well."

Crockett's Theme - FPU.

When Turbo packed up and moved headquarters, they hit the jackpot finding a folder of old contact sheets. Turbo says "Some pics are so embarrassing they would destroy careers, but these are still as cool as they were in 2002. This is from the cover shoot for FPU's "Crockett's Theme Remixes / Ocean Drive EP."

To celebrate the nostalgia, back on St. Laurent with summer vibes in the air, they are GIVING AWAY this lost classic.

Richly . Hawtin Clothing.

Continuing in the pioneering spirit that brought you The Cube and Kontakt events, Minus boss Richie Hawtin has announced details of his latest plunge into brand diversification: the Richly.Hawtin fashion label.

Conceived in collaboration with designer Isolde Richly, the range was established in Tokyo back in 2008 after the pair initially met at Berlin’s Club d’Visionaire over six years ago. The release party is set to take place next week at the suitably minimal Apartment store in Berlin's Mitte district. Said to be inspired by the duo's, "shared love of Japanese culture and design" the collection will kick off with a limited run of 100 t-shirts with previews of future designs being aired at the launch. "Perhaps now more than ever as music sheds its skin and evaporates into the digital ether, it needs something tangible, something physical to keep hold of" reads the press release. "The Richly.Hawtin clothing line offers just that by exploring the principles of minimalist design - where fashion and music overlap."

A sneak peak of the collection can be viewed on the Richly.Hawtin website
