Electronic musician and DJ Christ Menist arrives on Shapes of Rhythm with his second full-length LP as Awkward Corners. Dislocation Songs was conceived at a time of unmitigated uncertainty in Menist’s native UK, when an entire country could seem to agree on anything.
TweetElectric Mamba is forged of the strong, complementary alloy of its constituent musicians – and their shared passion for that flavoursome seventies African sound. The convergence of their musical tastes results in a cinematic repertoire – from frenetic rhythms to electric trances and spellbinding melodies.
TweetResuming their partnership, Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS are back once more with the second edition of their Gessirit silhouette. Taking to the archives for inspiration, ASICS designers Laura and Deanna Fanning lift elements from the brand’s 2003 tennis shoe, the Excourt 2, with GEL pods throughout.

Inspired by the easy-going atmosphere of the French Riviera, the Saint Florent PS is inspired by the colours and culture of Corsica. The print and colours on the leather upper feature the aesthetics of Mediterranean fish markets, while the silhouette itself pays homage to the island’s passion for boating.

Paul Jasmin’s photographs are a dreamy tableau that takes the viewer on a journey of seductive beauty and erotic ennui. Lost Angeles highlights the last 50 years Jasmin has spent photographing L.A.’s young dreamers. Jasmin’s images eloquently mirror the mythology of the city in the vulnerability and intangible cool of his subjects. There is life in his portraits of smiling girls and strong and frail men – and the never fading love for the Los Angeles street scenes. There is a nostalgic myth of a splendid and ideal aesthetic, stopped and caught forever.
Paul Jasmin has had a long career as a fashion and art photographer. He was born in Helena, Montana and in 1954 left to begin an incredible journey that would take him to Paris, Morocco, New York, and eventually “the city of dreams”, Los Angeles. Paul had been an illustrator, a painter, and an actor before picking up a camera – at the urging of his friend, Bruce Weber.

When seriously ill teenager Milla falls madly in love with smalltime drug dealer Moses, it’s her parents’ worst nightmare. But as Milla’s first brush with love brings her a new lust for life, things get messy and traditional morals go out the window. Milla soon shows everyone in her orbit – her parents, Moses, a sensitive music teacher, a budding child violinist, and a disarmingly honest pregnant neighbour – how to live like you have nothing to lose. What might have been a disaster for the Finlay family instead leads to letting go and finding grace in the glorious chaos of life. Babyteeth joyously explores how good it is not to be dead yet and how far we will go for love.
Released June 19th, 2020, on VOD
