Toyo Ito, is a Japanese architect with a rep. Known for creating extreme concept buildings, his thing is erecting interactive structures like the Tower Of Winds. Located in Yokohama, by day it looks similar to a stacked cans of beans but by night takes on the form of a tubular graphic equaliser, with lights and reflective surfaces that capture the moods [...]

Battersea Power Station is doomed. Its roof is gone, its long glass windows shattered, its cavernous heart empty, except for its iron ribs and red bricks. And today, sunshine, long shadows and the queues which have lined up for a last look at an imposing monument to industrialisation before it gets turned into an indoor playground for adults with expense accounts. It takes me 45 [...]

London is my muse. I can exit an aircraft at 6am in the morning, after a 13 hour flight, a three hour layover and a vicious line of questioning from immigration and still jump in the shower and hit the streets from dusk til dawn every single day until my flight ticket says my number is up.

Sure, you think you know the Internet like the back of your hand. Fancy yourself a human Google, even. Able to string off URL after URL for almost any topic, eh? Hogwash.

And the results are in…. If you were holding onto your phat pants/piss cup/S&M whip, the wait is over. DJ Mag recently announced the results of its Top 100 DJs Poll, and PvD is #1! Again! Just goes to show that you don’t need sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll to be on top of the world. Although I’m sure [...]

Just got this in the e-mail, it’s a link to DJ Gregoire Pagnoux’s new “home” mix. Master of intelligent techno, dancefloor pounder at The House every Saturday at Maison and fawned over by many a lass (or so we should assume), here’s where you can listen to the Frenchman’s ambient, home-made bleep fest. http://www.zshare.net/audio/november-rain-mp3.html

If you’ve ever wondered how it would feel to be in a F1 racer’s shoes, stop wondering and get crunk. Johnnie Walker’s Black Circuit VIP Contest is giving you the chance to win a pair of Kimi Raikonnen’s limited edition racing boots. Not only that, but good ol’ JW is practically chucking out passes and [...]

Puma is one of the world’s most rated brands and Malaysia is one of the cheapest places you can stock up. Not that this was cheap at RM259.90 but worth it. Part of the latest line it includes some seriously smart gear like a patent golf bag in black, white and yellow that I’m having [...]

The boyf put down green for these about six months ago. They’re on sale now (such is life), but were tipped by a trend spotting sight as being limited edition and Japan exclusive. A slip on with a neoprene sock and hard-shell molded heel meant for wakeboarding it features a camo pattern that integrates the [...]
