Sanctum Soho
Sanctum Soho is one of the best kept secrets in the little black book of the discerning cosmopolitan traveller. Housed in a sumptuous - albeit low-key - conversion of twin Georgian town houses and tucked away on Warwick Street in London’s buzzing West End, this hidden gem provides comfort, style and sophistication within striking distance of some of the most desirable haunts of Soho and Mayfair.……
Mount Kimbie
The duo have received a tasty critical reception, though the implication at times is towards a mildness that is almost insubstantial. A Pitchfork article alludes to “the burp of plumbing. A big synthesizer sweep sounds like the air conditioner turning on”. An even kinder BBC review insinuates that Crooks & Lovers embodies that captivating quality of background music, likening the record to…
NICOLAS JAAR
Following on from the release of Space Is Only Noise earlier this year, Nicolas Jaar has breathed life into his sensational project with a live show that captures both the sparseness of the record and the rich strands of inspiration behind it.

Beat And The Pulse

You guys are much less scary in person than on record.
K: Haha you think so?!

LFW roundup
With Fashion Week over in London for another six months, fashionistas are buzzing with inspiration for next season’s collections. Incidentally excitable just in time for this late summers heatwave! Which with nearing 30 degrees at end of October is confusing for the head, and even more confusing for the wardrobe!

Fashion Favourite: Jena.Theo
Since the close of London Fashion Week, I've had time to organise my thoughts about the Spring Summer designs, and can now declare one of my favourite (albeit unlikely) collections that of Jena Theo. For someone who has never really paid much, nay any, attention to Jena Theo's collections, I was bowled over by my admiration for their Spring Summer 2012 collection and, subsequently, all previous…
