Ménage – Provision Weekend

Posted by & filed under Fashion.

A message put into action: Ménage clings on to their word and releases their first video hitting the streets and giving back to the less fortunate. The social cause behind the brand definitely sets them off from the rest as they give back daily essentials to the homeless with every product sold. It’s heartwarming to watch youngsters do good deeds with their best intentions, especially with Ménage where they supply a platform for others to contribute as well.

The video is shot beautifully in the heart of Kuala Lumpur by Azrul Adil of Imaginative Films, showing appreciation to those who have purchased their goods and also to portray a closer look of their journey as a ‘Ménage’ (which means a household or a social unit living together) into becoming what they are today. Help spread the positivity by purchasing their products which you can do online on their website or directly via Whatsapp at: +60124694790.

The GST Theme Song

Posted by & filed under Features.

So as you all know, GST is really right at the corner. As of tomorrow, our government will be implementing the Goods and Services Tax on almost everything, and that means clothing, shoes, musical instruments, books, electrical equipment, and everything else that we hippie, sneaker-lovin’, hypebeastin’, young people love to buy, will be taxed. Our beloved Customs Department thought it would be cool to release a theme song to encourage and promote the use of GST, and in hopes, ease the general public into accepting it. Well it is safe to say they “kinda” succeeded at it, as we had a pretty good laugh at the video. Check it!

Winning comment  posted on YouTube about the song:-

“Dengar lagu dalam video ni sampai habis telah mengajar saya erti kesabaran dan memberikan ilmu GST yang amat penting, sekaligus menaikkan keyakinan dan membuatkan saya bersemangat untuk berGST. Cuma kalau boleh (cadangan) rakamlah guna kamera HD (730p/1080p). Video ni 240p maksimum, saya tak dapat nak usha gadis yang pegang huruf “S” tu.”

 

The Jameson Project – “Alman Tanak”

Posted by & filed under Music.

Last month we featured The Jameson Project doing a cover of the newly crowned Juara Lagu; “Apa Khabar” by Joe Flizzow featuring Sonaone. This time around, the man himself is back with a brand new original composition with his little son! According the him, the idea came up when his son kept on humming the riff so he decided to take his son’s idea and turn it into one awesome track. Try to repeat the song twice and I bet you’ll keep on humming for the next few hours.

Posted by & filed under Music.

I’m sure we are all well aware of Jin Hackman, especially for his Rap Up which we anticipate for at the end of every year. Jin never fails us with a reminiscent tune to bob our heads to and he continues to impress us with #Banana, a new single which screams asian power and we’ve got this track on a loop at a local kopitiam (listen to the track, you’ll get it).

Keep on the grid and look out for the music video which will be released early April.

The Air Max’s of the Air Max Day Party

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

The fun part about being a sneakerhead isn’t just about buying shoes, or having the most pairs or having the rarest sh*t in your collection. Yeah, sure they are part of the thrill of being a sneakerhead, but it just isn’t all about that. It’s about community. It’s about sharing a passion together with a bunch of people. And that was what happened on Thursday last week, when a bunch of people got together to share their passion for the Air Max legacy during the Air Max Party held at Sole What, Mid Valley Megamall. Here are some of the Air Max’s that we’ve spotted at the event.
