Boxfresh presents Frankie & The Heartstrings live at Liverpool’s Drome store student lock in

Frankie-the-Heartstrings-Hunger-Cover

Teaming up with Liverpool’s Drome Store, Boxfresh are proud to be bringing you an exclusive student lock in where guests can expect a 20% discount on the night and a live acoustic performance from one of the UK’s most exciting new bands, Frankie & The Heartstrings. Boxfresh and Drome will be welcoming in students on Wednesday 26th Oct (5 – 9pm) so don’t miss out!

NME favourites Frankie & The Heartstrings are a Sunderland five-piece with a modern approach to traditional songwriting, hewing infectious songs out of deceptively simply melodies and arrangements. As well touring with Florence & The Machine and The Futureheads, the band played to huge crowds at Bestival, Reading & Leeds, T in the Park, and Glastonbury. This year saw the release of their eagerly awaited  LP ‘Hunger‘.

Drome is a Liverpool based fashion retailer stocking Boxfresh and other aspirational brands. They pride themselves on being locally relevant having been established in Liverpool for over 15 years. There are two stores within the city centre.

VOLUME CONTROL #1 DOT ROTTEN

Have you ever thought to yourself ‘I wish I could work with some of UK’s best MC’s or Rappers’? Or as a fan, ‘Imagine if Tempa T vocaled Pulse X or Dot Rotten rapped over Spartan‘? Well this new project we’re involved in is JUST FOR YOU!

Dot Rotten Volume Control

This New Year sees the launch of Volume Control, a new, original and dynamic project bought to you by Underground Journalist Hyperfrank & Roundhouse’s creative centre. Every edition will bring you the hottest established, as well as up and coming, acts. Music lovers will get a chance to choose what these acts will spit fire over/make a track from. Productions with a choice will range from exclusive content, classic instrumentals and a few wild cards thrown in there (to test the acts on the mic). We at Boxfresh are also excited to be involved as brand sponsor for the first volume, paving the way in fresh style.

The first edition sees Dot Rotten, well known for his Rotten Riddims and vicious flow, step up to take on 3 hectic but very different productions. Dizzee Rascal’s classic Wheel , producer of Tempa T’s Next Hype, Darq E Freaker comes with a remix of one of the best beats of 2010 – It’s Sparta. The last is from Beat Geeks, a production team from Nottingham, who bring their grimey hiphop influenced production forward with Nightmare. With many vibrant artists & producers already on board for future volumes, make sure you get your vote in so your voice isn’t on mute.

Lowkey/Akala/Sway/Black the Ripper Live Performance!

Best collab I’ve seen in a very long time. Akala and Lowkey remain some of my favourite wordsmiths on the scene, full of passion and make me proud to be a uk hip-hop fan. Also shout out to Black the Ripper and Sway on this one, the crowd was going crazy, and not just for Akala’s amazing Africa necklace. (I need to get me an India one). When they start naming countries ‘Afghanistan/Iraq,etc’ I got hip hop chills. Sick sick sick.

Sarah Young + Red Bull = ‘Music Class of 2010′

On August 20, 24 and 25, Sarah Young and Red Bull UK will be teaming up with a string of innovative artists from the music industry to help launch the Music Class of 2010 project.

Music Class of 2010 is a multi-media editorial concept, which includes those musicians and producers who don’t simply top the charts, but create music with artistic integrity.

Twenty-one year old DJ and Stylist Sarah Young and internationally renowned photographer Satoshi Minakawa are the creative team behind the project, the cast list of which is scheduled to include the following: -

Mistajam (BBC Radio One DJ)
Roses Gabor (Artist)
Toddla T (UK producer)
Redlight (UK producer)
Swindle (UK producer)
Jammer (MC)
J2k (MC)
Donaeo (Artist)
Mz Bratt (Female MC)

The editorial will be launched at the Red Bull HQ in London, where in November the artists involved will create an exclusive track in just two hours within the VIP music studios adjacent to the event, which will be streamed live online and into the media event next door via TV screens.

Creative director of the project Sarah Young explains her vision: “As a DJ and Fashion stylist, I deal with music and fashion on a daily basis. The two are inextricably linked – right now the UK music scene is the best it’s ever been and receiving international recognition.

“These artists, dj’s and producers are the people at the forefront of street trends, they are the people who wear what they want, when they want and others follow. As a stylist I am going to take each artists style and multiply that by 10, whilst giving each look a high fashion edge.

“Music is a form of expression, and so is fashion and this project signifies the cultural importance of this fusion.”

Sarah is going to be working with a selection of labels including D&G, Lavin, Vivienne Westwood Man, Armani, Balenciaga, Burberry, Margiela, Marc Jacobs, Matthew Williamson, Nike, and Harrods, as well a selection of ‘New Gen’ designers.
