There Are Parties And Then There Are Parties
Get ready for a massive update in the next 24 hours about what it’s like to travel across three continents within 5 days whilst trying to design two collections, get a dream team together to help grow Twelve Bar, work on a whole bunch of collaborations and relocate from London to Los Angeles amongst other things.
For now though let’s get back to what really matters and that’s good music. As everyone knows, there are parties and then there are parties. The last real party I went to was back in August during Magic at the soon-to-be-opened Undftd store in Las Vegas where the one and only Ninth Wonder got on the decks around Midnight and didn’t play one bad tune for the next six hours. Since then everything has been a bit of a disappointment until last Saturday night in Tokyo. Fresh (or not as the case may be) off a 12 hour flight from London I found myself at the Cerulean Tower in Shibuya for the Jazzy Sport party featuring Wajeed from the Platinum Pied Pipers.
Sponsored by New Balance - and boy did they pick the right party to associate themselves with – Wajeed got on the decks and tore the club which was absolutely packed to pieces. From Chaka Khan to Jay Z with a bit of DJ Spinna, Marvin Gaye, Masters At Work and Black Moon thrown in for good measure this was just one of those nights that got better and better the later it got. Given that I was the world’s most tired man I was planning to leave after about half an hour but as it approached 5 in the morning I was still going strong. Good vibes and spectacular tunes – That’s what it was all about and huge props to Tetsuya from New Balance and Taro from Jazzy Sport for making this one happen. Get ready for the big update shortly – I’ve got to go and talk about girls with my boy Yone now!
