“Derek Ridgers captures the dance floor spirit of the 80's”
Impassioned kisses on the dance floor, heads of hair whipping, exhausted revelers crumpled on the floor near the wallflowers – all of it has been captured without reserve by Derek Ridgers in his new book, The Others. The book, published by IDEA, comprises a selection of 100 unpublished photographs taken in London clubs and parties during long, unraveling nights in the 1980s. Visit here for more visuals.
“Meet the designers of NYC's Latin club night posters”
Sometimes, the same design is taped, stapled or wheatpasted over and over on the facade of a building, contributing to a kind of wall effect. Other times, different designs are thrown up side by side in a more indiscriminate fashion, on scaffolding or lamposts. This subeconomy is remarkably efficient: once an event is over, the flyers disappear seemingly overnight, only to be swapped out by new ones just as quickly. After they’re posted, they seldom stay up for more than a week or two, earning them the name short-run posters. For more info click here.
“Prince interview at Paisley Park Studios, Minneapolis”

“The John Lewis Christmas Advert”
This is very personal and all so pleasing to hear that our girl Aurora got the chance to showcase her talent on a massive scale, when she preformed the song that lead the John Lewis Newest Campaign with lyrics written by no other than Noel Gallagher. This nice article showcases different sides to how we treat ourselves in this vigorous world. And its written to perfection. This view on consumerism and advertising is super interesting. Nevertheless we are still very delighted to hear the soundtrack though. For extra reading click here.
