[fashion.exclusive] underwear from hell…
July 1st, 2009
Well, not THAT kind of hell. More the hellish, screaming enfant terrible that is DJ Hell, whose latest collaboration has him teaming up with Austrian designers Wendy&Jim for a surprisingly sexy, gossamer-light underwear collection. Featuring three different styles in varying fabrics such as pure organic cotton, lightweight mesh and lace, the line will be available in select boutiques across the world.
At berlin.unlike we have an exlusive slideshow of Lukas Gansterer’s underwear impressions from the recent exhibition at Hof96 yesterday, graced by no less than the folks from Stilinberlin, F&ART, Anna Kardonov from badpaper.ru, Philipp Roller representing Peng! Magazine and Erdem Tunakan of Cheap Records — so expect to see pics of the night proliferating throughout the internets faster than DJ Hell can take off his clothes.

It’s great for the jet-set. But, with a baby in tow, we were a bit leery of the many white-tablecloth restaurant suggestions.

[Sounds of Shanghai] field recordings
May 8th, 2009
No effects or additional editing are applied to the sound bites.
[Sounds of Shanghai] is a project we began in order to bring Shanghai to the world. Where natives of shanghai as well as visitors can hear the typical sounds of life in and around different locations of the largest city in China. Each recording featured here is what we think recreates the feeling, object, and experience of each location. The recordings are recorded on professional equipment and are best when listened to on headphones.
