Halloween LA styles

Quick catch-ups from state side before I jump on a plane to Blighty (YAY!)

The month of October was gearing up for what ended up as two weekend benders for pretty much the whole city. EVERYONE from store owners to cab drivers made out in costume glory and I felt like I was dipping into that scene from E.T when babs go to collect candy- you know the one. Again, another dripping morsel of culture for the Brit. The penultimate weekend was upon us and one of the big outdoor parties, Monster Massive, played host to the legendary Z-Trip and I was excited to join the crew along with beat-boxing genius vocalist and UK homie, Killa Kela to pre-game in the trailer before the show as Z-Trip got ready for what was going to be a rocking set following Glitch Mob.

Kela was prepping to jump up and as for the rest of us, well, we had a merry old time and what a great crew we had to stir up some pre-show buzzzzz. Shout outs to Ami Drum, Jose, Matthew, Muckley, Bobbie and of course Zach and Kels.

The master of mash-ups sat for a moment in preparation to rage the stage as the countdown started. Being the avid new DJ in training I was observing the process and noting the equipment in comparison to my set-up. I definitely had my geek on, forget trick or treat I was totally in my element- kid in a candy store for sure.

We joined Glitch Mob, with special guest Travis Barker, for their set before Z-Trip jumped on to lay the foundations for carnage. His set was way more eclectic than i’d have anticipated. The boy had moves and I just wish you could all have been there to hear it. Killa Kela killed it as he unleashed his UK styles on the LA crowd rendering the whole set far too short and way too explosive to be over already- in my opinion and evidently that of the crowd. One saving grace mind you, the generous Mr Z-Trip has encouraged us to go and load up early for christmas with free downloads from his dedicated site www.djztrip.com/downloads.html so fill up your stockings and share the love. There is a ton of music there so GET IN!!! You’ll also find some pin-up-esque press shots to fill your lockers/ shrines. As for me, I’ll keep my fingers crossed in the hope that I can persuade Zach to give me a DJ lesson one of these days. I’m looking forward to Killa Kela’s return to LA in December, more on THAT in the new year. and finally, as the sun goes down I will get my party on to the next Brit adventure and report back in due course. Until next time my darlings

HOUSE PARTYYYYYY!

Our house party concept (recreating that intimate party in a homely setting – but in a club!) has had a great response since it’s launch at Ruby Lounge in Manchester, so we decided that it was time to bring it to London! And we couldn’t have found a better partner (and venue) in Counter Culture – a project housed in the pop-up venue beneath London Bridge which for 90 days is bringing you an unrivalled mixture of club nights, live shows, comedy, plays, cinema, and art installations.

We’ve got a great line-up too from The Bays to Bez …

And in typical Sameteens spirit, we have put together a little brochure to promote the parties …

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.
