Originating from capital city, London, Lazy Oaf is a highly creative clothing label and they have just released their Spring/Summer collection. Here's a breif description taken form their website...

LAZY OAF IS FAMOUS FOR IT'S BRIGHT POP GRAPHIC T-SHIRTS, REVERSIBLE SWEATS AND ACCESSORIES COLLECTIONS.

So far the collection is getting a serious amount of online hype for the relatively small label, with articles appearing on a number of massive fashion blogs, such as the US fashion, arts and design digital magazine Hypebeast. The label is now available in over 150 stocklists worldwide, such as Leeds' new mens boutique Dirty Girl Store

Norse Projects Headwear - Spring 2012

In recent years Denmark has seen many great labels emerge. And after years in the mix Norse Projects - one of Copenhagen's finest boutiques launched their inaugural collection. Since the launch of their own clothing range in 2009, the brand has seen a remarkable rise to success. What should you expect from Norse Projects?? Basic, functional but highly aesthetic Scandinavian clothing...

The collection sees Norse adapting their fans favourite 5-panel cap, in the form of the 'Saxpop Solid 5 Panel.' The main release of the classic Norse hat comes in 4 simple, but solid colourways, Black, Green, Cream and Navy, each seeming to complement each other perfectly. But this is Norse we are talking about and the collection would not be complete with a slice of flare. With such a success in the highly patterned Hector Rug Caps or Floral & Hawaiian 5 Panel Caps, Norse have again gone bold with an allover corn print, in Navy and, my personal pick of the bunch, Light Blue.

The collection does not end their, also being released is the very unique 100% wool Baseball cap. Opting to change the normal 'N' print on the front to 'NORSE' i can see these being a big seller. The style coming in both navy & grey, and is sold in fitted sizes. Norse have also released two bucket hats, for those special times when you want to go fishing, but with a bit of style, and finally two wool beanie hats again in navy and grey.

Solomun

The BFG of dance music world. Standing at 6"3, the big croatian certainly holds a big presence when he gets behind the decks. This physical presence is without a doubt mirrored by his current status within the house music industry. Through his own productions, music label and djing career, Solomun has played a major role in redefining the european house music scene in the last 10 years.

David August, Left, and his mentor Solomun, right. Performing B2B at Motion, Newcastle.

From his own music, edits and remixes Solomun has seen his profile continuously rise within the last 10 years into one of the most illustrious and well like artists in House music. With releases on Buzzin Fly, Get Physical, Mobilee, Compost, his own label Diynamic Music and Sublabel 2Diy4.

Solomun founded the Diynamic Music imprint 5 years ago with close friend Adriano Trolio and has now built up an impressive Roster including Stimming, H.O.S.H., Ost & Kjev, Kollektive Trumstasse and one of the brightest stars of 2011, David August. His hands-on approach to running his label has been evident in the past year, releasing weekly Diynamic Radioshow's alongside artists & guests of Diynamic music, whilst also celebrating their 5th year with the world tour '5 years of Diynamic.' Solomun has also added club owner and promoter to his impressive CV, hosting regular parties at his EGO Club, Hamburg.

Something We All Adore EP was released on Barcelona based Supernature label, and is Solomun most recent work. The EP's main feature the title track 'Something We All Adore' including a quite excellant sample of an Interview called Fortune & Fame given by the late, great Tupac Shakur. Although this is definitely the highlight of the EP, Solomun also provides the highly atmospheric 'He Is Watching You' and finally the slow bouncy beats of 'Girl Slow Down.'

      

Brilliant EP, hope you enjoy it!
