Goldie interview on Huck



Huck Magazine is currently acting as a media partner for Soul Heaven's Kicks N Canvas exhibition. This is a group art show featuring a lot of internationally respected artists including drum and bass pioneer Goldie.

I spoke with the revered DJ, label owner and graffiti artist about his involvement in the project and found that he is a very approachable, funny guy. Essentially, he is the complete opposite of the persona he portrays in music videos and films!

You can read the interview HERE.

PMKFA interview



A few weeks ago I was invited to the new DC Shoes x Sixpack France collaboration launch. The collection consisted of two pairs of shoes, a T-Shirt and a New Era cap, all designed by Swedish artist PMKFA.

I got the chance to speak with the talented designer and found out that in addition to designing products for other companies, he also has his own T-Shirt company called It's Our Thing and their stuff is pretty good!

Check out the interview HERE.

Shlohmo (the future of bedroom production)

I got put onto this guy by someone at my work and I was instantly impressed. He does not play any musical instruments and relies solely on production packages to make his sounds. Plus, I am not entirely sure the results he comes up with are entirely intentional. Still, this guy produces material that sounds similar to Flying Lotus, Samiyam and Gaslamp Killer for all the right reasons.

Shlohmo is only 21 but the San Francisco based bedroom producer is going places - fast!

For now, check out the video for his amazing song Hot Boxing the Cockpit.

Modeselektor Interview on Huck Magazine




The interviews just keep coming...

Last week I got to speak with Gernot from German techno duo Modeselektor. He seemed like a nice guy and even though some of his answers were pretty short, he also came out with some pretty funny responses. Check out the interview HERE.

Now writing for Huck Magazine




It has been an exciting month for this baldy adventurer. I have been working on some interviews for The Skinny, got invited to write for The List and tomorrow I will be starting work as an intern for Huck Magazine.

For those of you not acquainted with the publication, Huck Magazine is a pop culture magazine that focuses on music, skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding. Although I come from a rollerblading background, the principles are generally the same: The main focus is the icons of the relative sports that display progressive attributes and inspire the minds of their young followers. I have always been a fan of surfing and skateboarding so this will be a chance to learn more about cultures that share many similarities with rollerblading. I will also get the chance to feature artists that I think are pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.

I am a little nervous, which is natural with any new job, but I am very excited about working with like minded people and researching some fascinating topics. Bring it on.

The latest issue features interviews with Mos Def and skateboarding poster boy Ryan Sheckler.
