The chic fashion site JC Report has recently talked to Hardy Blechman, the founder of maharishi and MHI. Blechman has been way ahead of his time by combining sustainable materials and unforeseen technical solutions in the brands’ collections for over ten years now while the rest of us have been sitting in content on our fat asses covered with cheap sweatshop rags.

Hip-ster alert, you faggoooots!
Mashmarket is proud to be one of the few selected stores in Europe to stock Kid America Club goods. Stay tuned for their new t-shirt line, which will be available soon.
So what is this shit anyway?
To put it short, Kid America Club is a general joint fuckery arranged by various Downtown New York faces like A-Ron (ex aNYthing impresario), artist Dash Snow and actor Leo Fitzpatrick in the past few years. The most tangible outcome of these actions is a comedy show, which could be described as a twisted parody of kids TV shows, where several off-the-chain cartoon characters get fucked up with just about anything related to “urban youth culture”. Think of it as the muppets once they grew up and discovered booze, drugs and girls. You should most definitely grab sum of those yourself and tune in to their shows found on their site. Besides providing a true cathartic moment for all those immersed in the over-saturation of coolness today, Demurgatroid, Lord Plek, Fat Spiderman, Caruthers, Big Wacky, Clyde Abdeptor, Spock 2 et al will make you whoop and even pee just a little bit.
In addition to the TV show, the K.A.C. gang has also released an album entitled Revenge of the Clubhouse with the helping hand of the legendary producer Dante Ross. The album, according to Pitchfork, “qualifies as avant-garde in today’s underground rap wasteland.” Wow! Listen to some sample pieces on their myspace and act like you know.
And yeah, as mentioned, they make t-shirts too.
Dave at the SSUR headquarters.
Meeting up with guys like Dave of SSUR really gives you a reminder that there is a hell of a lot more beneath the “this t-shirt matches these sneakers” -phenomenon that seems to define the oversaturated stylistic vaudeville going on with 80% of the independent clothing market today.

Flow-mo is a finnish b-boy crew who have started to earn reputation they deserve. Among other shit they won the last Rocksteady anniversary battle and are heading to Korea tomorrow.. Really hard to find people as dedicated to hiphop culture as the flow-mo guys are. They just finished their DVD and if you’d have a change to cop it somewhere, I highly recommend you would.
Thanks Jani for the dvd. Have good time in Seoul.
