We are rolling out a new version of the site today. Hopefully it will be a lot easier to shop on your phone. We still have a lot of work to do, so we appreciate your patience!

“SEASONAL AFFECTIVE” – Staple Spring 2014 Lookbook Video 1/2 from jeffstaple on Vimeo.

We’ve received most of our Staple Spring orders,  so here’s a video lookbook they put together.  The Asante patterned jacket is actually reversible.

Aesop & Kimya are gearing up for some tour dates next month (including Carnegie Hall?!)  Tickets for that show are here.

I remember when this came out… Gang Starr had just come off of Step in the Arena & Daily Operation, so I was thinking that perhaps this wouldn’t measure up.  Well, there was nothing to worry about.  20 years later, still sounds fresh.

The folks at UpNorthTrips and NahRight posted an interview with DJ Premier which goes through the making of the album track by track.    Great interview which details the history  of what was going on as well as some insight into his general production process.  The Vinylcologist also did a special mix using instrumentals from the album with the original samples.

Rest in Peace to Guru, the Gang Starr legacy is strong.
