Weekend Adventure Review: The Hydra x Electric Minds
Last Saturday (3rd October) we adventured down to East London’s Studio Spaces, to attend one of the most talked about winter series “The Hydra.” Teaming with Electric Minds and featuring the talented acts of Levon Vincent, Move D & Mr.G, this line up, this venue, and these promotors sure set its bar high. This was the first time we had visited Studio spaces, with many of Londons Venues closing down, its great to have something like this about. 3 rooms, a friendly crowd and enough space outside to grap some fresh air, this may just be my new favourite spot! Move D’s selection of songs (like always) were on point, Levon Vincent mixes were…

Happy Birthday David Bowie!
Yep, today one of our all time favourite pop stars turns 66! He has also very excitingly announced that he is soon releasing a new album – his first in 10 years! David Bowie is no stranger to fashion experimentation and along with his music, it is for this reason that we love him so (oh and also Labyrinth; 1980’s styling + Bowie in lycra + The Muppets = one of the best movies ever!) Take this image from 1973, where Bowie is showing us all how to rock the monochrome stripe – along with a handbag and bracelets. An outfit so timeless it still looks fabulous today. So grab…
