BBDCBN !!!
September 28, 2006
Beach by Day /City by Night
Dj: Mountain Rescue
Mix: Click to Listen
After finally setting up shop in Brighton, I wanted to celebrate, so I’ve thrown together a double mix… BBDCBN is a low-fi acoustic folky kitten with a touch of rocknroll on one side and then a hot sweaty gaybar of an electropop mix on the flip side.

Mark Cocksedge – NYC
September 28, 2006
Mark Cocksedge is studying Graphic Arts & Design at Leeds MET. Over the last couple of years, it has become clear that Mark is also a very talented photographer. He has a knack for capturing, and a genuine interest in human emotion, people and the everyday street.
He has put together a set of 14 photos from a recent trip out to NYC for us to enjoy.
View the NYC Gallery here.
“Prior to New York I had been experimenting with contact sheets, I started thinking that they can be just as important as a singular image or a series. With a contact sheet you get a sense of what the photographer was thinking, feeling… changing between portrait and landscape, moving closer, objects being placed in shot etc. It’s a window into a photographer’s train of thought, what directions and choices he or she made, like the map of their mini journey.”

PMKFA
September 18, 2006
PMKFA is a graphics head who is originally from Sweden but is now between Tokyo and London. You may have seen his work on the covers of TRASH CLUB favourites eurodiscopop princes Lo-Fi-Fnk and Junior Senior. As well as a real taste for music PMKFA has a clothing label out there which is well worth checking out. We managed to have a chat with the man behind it all.

>> So how about a little history on PMKFA, where are you from
>> originally? And where did you study?
I come from Sweden, from a small city three hours by train north from Stockholm. Moved to Stockholm straight after high-school in 1999 to work at a design/illustration studio named Vår and went to school at the same time at a advertising school and later on a basic art-school. In 2000 I moved to Copenhagen to start my MA-studies that I finished last year. In between I also took a year at London College of Communication, that was a good year, or they all were good years.
>> What inspired you to head down a graphics route? And what does
>> PMKFA mean?
I have always been listening to electronic music, since I was about 6 years or so and in late high-school I started doing stuff for my friends clubs and it just rolled on and got more and more serious, now it’s what I spend 90% of my time awake doing and I guess I’m still as connected to music as I was in the start. PMKFA is a shortening for a Swedish thing impossible to translate, sorry.
>> You are now in Tokyo, so how did you end up in Tokyo?
My girlfriend is Japanese so when she moved back here from London I joined. Have been here a couple of times before moving here last year but never expected to come here for this reason. It is fantastic, a few practical problems but still I really enjoy life here.
>> Where else have you lived and worked any favourite cities or
>> countries?
As mentioned above, Copenhagen, Stockholm, London and now Tokyo. I cannot really tell a favourite place, hmm. If it was, one year ago, maybe it would’ve been Tokyo but the grass is always greener on the other side but right now I don’t know where that is. Going to be in London whole month of September working on a project and looking forward to that so much, wanna move around some but still I really feel like living here for a while. But we always talk about moving away for a while and come back, in that way we can always feel refreshed.
>> What motivated you to launch the t-shirt label together with
>> Sweatshop Union?
Control and to have something on my own. I enjoy making t-shirts for others and so on but after making more t-shirts than I can remember I felt like doing anything on my own. When Matthias Schneidewind at Sweatshop Union in Osaka, who prints the shirts, asked if we should do this I was on it instantly. I know that Matthias had the will to do his own thing too after printing tens of thousands of other peoples shirts. To have something of your own totally and make and see it grow is very much fun and these days it’s going pretty well. I have a hard time replying to all the orders coming in. But everything will be better organized very soon and a web-shop is coming together with the next line of products.
