Modern japanese graphic patterns →
I’m enjoying those classic modern japanese patterns a lot, for their colours and simplicity. Available for Illustrator. Ah. Nothing better than classic modernism, except postmodernism. Maybe.

Justice for Dior Homme →
Sneaker freak and grandmaster of style fireabend informs us about Justice’s mighty mix for a Dior Homme show. Didn’t listen to it yet, will do now. I’m sure we won’t be disappointed.

Color Trends + Palettes. Meant to bookmark this ages ago.
Just a quick note to myself: Olympic Airways is still the best song by anyone, this year. The combination of those dreamy guitar sounds and the driving vibe just completely hits the spot. Amazing song for travelling by train, too. An all time fave.

Awesome summer muxtape by Kriesse. Nice blend of harsh dance tunes and some pop for good measure. Love it! Makes me want to do a new one myself. Writing Lorem Ipsum on our Hands is collecting dust.
Plus: I’d love to see custom artworks as an additional Muxtape feature. I just love to throw together a quick sleeve design.
Get Weird Turn Pro writes: “So Cansei de Ser Sexy are minus one member and have upped sticks and moved to London. Their new album ‘Donkey’ is on the horizon and on the evidence of ’Left Behind’ it should be a goodie. There’s a synthy Midnight Juggernauts remix of this track floating around which is good, but the original rocks nicely and is officially out July 14th.”
