If you wanna grab some A.IN.T for summer I’d do it pretty quick, it’s been selling like hotcakes. Very minimal amount left.

Brooklyn Radio…

Friday, May 30th, 2008

This is SUCH a good site, Jamie & I are rinsing it right now. There are hundreds of mixes, have a look about n see what takes your fancy. I really recommend “The Rub” section, they’ve done a History of Hip Hop section which is awesome, there is a mix of each year going all the way back to 1989 (1995 is a really good mix) all track listings included. Also I would suggest “U-Tern” section, great mix from Dam-Funk in there…all this 80′s funk up in here! Right now I have on the “MJ Mix” ARGH! It’s really good, good old Jacko. BROOKLYN RADIO.

21:MC…

Monday, May 26th, 2008

I just love it when clothing brands on myspace add us & we actually really like the stock. Some things just aren’t suited to us but sometimes they really are. Coming out of the big ol USA is 21:MC….I can see it sitting perfectly alongside Tonite for Autumn/Winter & also Rockers NYC. Trying our best to get an order together, so if your real lucky you can see it in Donuts soon. They are planning a European trip in the summer with tour dates in Bristol & London, hopefully we can team up. As always will keep you posted. Here are some photos & some info quoted from the myspace

“21MC (21st Century Maroon Colony) is a S.F. based conceptual streetwear company representing the west coast of the Afro-Triangle. Live from the Afro-Triangle, our purpose is to provide Tropical Wear garments to the urban Maroon Colonies of the 21st century. The patterns, rhythms, textures, and colors of Africa and Her diaspora, passed on to us by our ancestors, inform the way we create our collections and the way we wear ourselves on the streets. Each collection 21MC,, creates, tells of how we are living, our rebellions, and our survival”.

Sub Urban..

Monday, May 26th, 2008

This was a site I discovered a long, long time ago & fortunately today I stumbled across it again. These boys trek about the country taking some serious photos of the underground, sewers, mental asylums, old hospitals…very creepy but very intriguing at the same time. Here are a couple of my favourite snaps & a link to Sub Urban. Go check it out.

Donuts facelift..

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

If you can’t find our store at the moment it may be due to the fact that it’s entirely covered in scaffolding!  The upper building is being repainted bright orange in coordination with the businesses/owners above us – The Orange Factory (Gingersnap modeling agency and Dangling Carrot PR consultancy).  We’re still undecided about the colour hmmm……
