FIRST LOOK 2 GALA SHOW : LUKE CHAN

很高興看到我們的香港設計師LUKE CHAN的系列繼續發展和成熟。這是LUKE CHAN第二次在FIRST LOOK 中展示最新系列,繼續從愛德華時代的英國尋找靈感。他的FW18系列使用了非常平坦的色調,在仔細檢查後非常有趣。你可以看到系列都是英國人低調的陰沉灰色,以及令人驚訝的軍事綠色。當中特別欣賞這個季系列中微妙的運動裝主題。加油吧!

Great to see Hong Kong designer Luke Chan’s collection continue to grow and mature. Presenting for the second straight season with FIRST LOOK, Luke continues to find inspiration from Edwardian England. For his FW18 collection, he used a very flat color tone which was very interesting upon closer inspection. British overcast greys made for all over looks, as well a surprising military green that may have almost gone unnoticed by those in attendance. Accessories were also prominent from flat point shoes, to a large brimmed hat for the final exit look. Particularly appreciated the subtle sportswear theme incorporated into this season’s collection. Looks 6 and 8 were the ones for me! Onwards and upwards Luke Chan.

SPITGAN PREMIERE : FUTUREWAVE X DANIEL SON, BEETLEJUICE


By Jordan C.

Toronto production duo The Lost Info (Futurewave & Ol Man 80zz) have been on the scene for a minute but it wasn’t until they started working with lyricists Daniel Son and Asun Eastwood that they popped up on our radar. While they dropped a full album with Brooklyn’s Justo The MC and Futurewave handled a whole project for Atlanta’s Heem Stogied last year, it was their work with buzzing emcees from their own city that shined the most. “Summer’s Fuckin Over” and “Vinyl Dust Blunts” off Asun Eastwood’s Hollywood Briggs album (both of which feature Daniel Son) displayed the kind of rich production that leaves a lasting impression. Then at the end of January, Daniel Son hit ‘em in the head with a Futurewave banger titled “Trust The Process” that had heads excited for what else these two have planned for 2018.

Well, today SPITGAN is proud to premiere the video for “Beetlejuice.” This joint is the official single off Futurewave’s upcoming producer album Wav.God, which also features tracks with Hus Kingpin, Nowaah the Flood, Heem Stogied, Justo The MC, plus an epic posse cut with Asun Eastwood, Recognize Ali, Flashius Clayton, and J Scienide.

The beat on “Beetlejuice” is mostly just a deep groove bass line and downtempo drums, but once in a while a heavily filtered vocal sample creeps in. With so much room to get loose, Son gets on his “Bakaow” shit and caves in the competition’s head. When he says, “Went to Venezuela just to buy me these Tims / that Ralph stay on me like a Siamese Twin,” we grinned so hard it almost hurt our cheeks. As if the combination of Futurewave and DS wasn’t a potent enough mixture, they get together once again with Mercenary Productions for some fire visuals. With convulsive camera work and wavy effects this video aims to recreate an acid trip Daniel Son experienced. Warning: This may trigger flashbacks for those that have done too many hallucinogens.

Wav.God drops on March 1st but pre-orders are up now at: Lostinfomusic.com
