AUTECHRE REISSUE DEBUT ALBUM

Posted on 2011-12-05

20 years after its original vinyl release, the self-titled EP by Lego Feet aka Autechre’s Sean Booth and Rob Brown – finally lands on CD, with substantial extras, clocking in at a total of 70 minutes. The first ever release on Skam Records, for many this really is the holy grail of British electronica: pre-dating even the first official Autechre 12”, ‘Cavity Job’. Issued in limited quantities in ’91, the vinyl has never been re-pressed and remains incredibly rare.

BOXPARK – THE WORLD’S FIRST POP-UP MALL

Posted on 2011-12-05

Boxpark has opened in Shoreditch, London. Bringing more than sixty carefully chosen fashion, arts and lifestyle brands’ to the derelict land around Shoreditch station.

The concept is simple and imaginative. Take 60 standard shipping containers, paint them black and arrange them into a small village of retail outlets. Then invite a few dozen brands ’packed with talent, innovation and attitude’ to inhabit the units. Roger Wade, the brains behind the idea, is so confident of the scheme’s success, he’s now touting six to twelve additional Boxparks around London, with another ready for Christmas next year.
