Does FTB2 live in a hotel?

Honestly this set up is just silly. If you're DJing in a dark booth (which tends to be 99.9% of the time) and you're drunk or high (which tends to be 99.9% of the time) you want to limit the risk of hitting that fuckin needle. By turning it upright you reduce this risk. Even the 'L' style has risk.

AND NOTHING is more retarded than a DJ who drunkenly skips a record. HA.

Yeah the reason kids started turnign their 1200s the rightway up was to scratch without the arm getting in the way BUT even if you're beatmixing and just sliding that x-fader over from one side to other you still want that arm outta the way.

So you just got the set up and you're learning the crab n' flare... start with the basics before you get into the complex scratches! Learn to sratch in TIME with a battle record. How many times do you see 'scratch DJ's that just make noise rather than music?? ANd which one do you prefer...

FUCK i need sleep.

I find it way more awkward with them vertical, as I don't like stretching over the turntable - I'm more likely to accidentally hit the arm or have a stray shirt end touch the record or something. Plus unless you play hip hop nights, most places are gonna be set up traditionally and could be tricky to move stuff about when you turn up.

Ignore this suggestion. This show is the worst thing in the history of everything.

Ok obviously he is too unknown to be on that list, but Kenzo Minami is one smooth asian cat.

Here's some notes:

Forget what else you heard, the best sound system in town is at Plastic People under Curtain Road.

333 always looks kinda shit these days.

Boombox and all that other 'polysexual' nonsense should definately be avoided if you're not a tranny.

T Bar is free, but full of Italian tourists and the sound system is awful.

Generally avoid the area in and outside of Cafe 1001 if you don't like Italian tourists eating dirty barbeque food.

Shoreditch House is pretty overrated once you get inside, especially on the weekend/friday nights. Probably worth it if you are in Media or enjoy a nice view of the city at night.

Although I've not been there, I'm hearing things about Melange up on Kingsland Road.

Fabric is too popular.

It's depressing that this is what London is represented by. I thought Aitor Throup was the only vaguely interesting thing at the MAN show.

What glasses are you rocking here? Can we see more?

My only experience of Colette was a few years ago, around the time things like Visvim and APC were getting popular, and I pretty much felt the same way as the above comment. They had barely any men's clothes, most was in this little enclosure at he back, with about 2-3 mannequins devoted to men's stuff. It was a real mish-mash, but mostly very of-the-moment streetwear t shirt brands mixed with the odd avant garde designer. I too didn't like the way it claims to carry loads of designers, but only actually has about 2 (seemingly randomnly) chosen items from each one. It's as though it just wants to be known as having carried it when it was cool - It's like retail namechecking, or something?

That grey jacket is very sexual indeed.

In case someone hadn't seen this, some a/w07 stuff from Men Non-No I found on fragment design blog:

Really like the outerwear. Is this shit in dover street market yet?

Hi,

Which of the new APC jeans is closest to the Dior 19cm? I take a 30inch in the dior (non-selvedge), what should i go for in apc? 28 maybe?

It's kinda cool that some London shit is getting such big excitement from America, but i think it is completely shit and everyone is bored of this horrible trend here. Like the young chap said earlier in the thread, I was shocked to see it downstairs in DSM. IT's not really 'worthy' is it.

If you want to see something a bit more decent from young London designers, check places like B Store on Saville Row or something.

I think the only straight men who do 'nu rave' in London now are the eurotrash italians that hang about on Brick Lane.
