MIDDLE MAGAZINE LAUNCH

Heyy kids! Just a little reminder that Middle Magazine is going to print TODAY! So fingers crossed we haven't cocked up and the mag will be on display in Bonnington this Thursday from around 12pm!! Come check it out!! The website is still under construction but will be fully functioning by tomorrow! Just a little excited...

STREET STYLE @ GREEN FEST

FEED THE HORSE YUM YUM

Just had to post this, aparently 'feed the horse' is lesbian slang...I think you can work it out.

SHhhh!

I have just been kindly informed by Ed Quartex, who has just put together a mix especially for Middle, about new clothing brand and art collective, SHhhh!

'We are a team of young up and coming artists, illustrators, photographers, film makers, DJ’s, bands skateboarders and other creative folk. We like to draw on walls and party hard!'

SHhhh! are in fact endorsing Ed and Lyrical (mc that works with Ed), so a lot of respect goes to the brand for promoting up and coming artists! I will be contacting SHhh! to see if they have any talented Midlanders who would be interested in featuring on the Middle Mag website!

VILE

I have never seen boots this horrific. Uggs are a crime as it is, let alone with tacky diamantes all over them and in a range of pukeesque colours. Delightful!

ZERO 7 PIXMIX

Check this fresh Zero 7 pixmix released last week, it's ridiculously good. Im addicted!
Obviously Zero 7 have been established and AMAZING for many years now, but this mix is a bran new release, and new is Middle's middle name! Ha.

A RARE FIND...

Spotted these two style angels in town the other day and I HAD to get a picture! They are Jake and Charlottle Birch, and yes, they're brother and sister! Jake sent us an email saying they'd like to get involved with the magazine as he's a fashion photographer and Charlotte's a fashion designer! ..will DEFINATELY be slotting these two either on the website or in the magazine somewhere!

THE MODERN AGE

Talented Indie band The Moder Age, fill the gap between The Libertines and The Gaslight Anthem perfectly, give their fresh new tracks they sent Mid Mag a listen!

MARIE'S SHOOT MOODBOARD

SOUTH CITY

Going to Ibiza Mix - South City (March 2010) by South City

Lewe-James mini-mix jan mix 2010 by LeweJames&ForrestDee

Met this cool guy at Godskitchen Al Fresco on saturday night, and he just so happened to be a 21 year old DJ called Darstan Forrest! This is a mix from 2009 and one from 2010 by South City, his joint project. Watch out for more mixes, the boys got talent!

KOKOMA

http://www.kokoma.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/showreel.html



Came across Kokoma when listening to Fasern by Peter Grummich, the stop frame animation for the song is really cool, pretty messed up, but cool. Here's the video from youtube, and the link at the top takes you to Kokoma's showreel of work.

This type of video art would be a great feature for the Middle Magazine website!

EXIT LINEUP

Exit Festival 2010 in Novi Sad, Serbia is set to be the highlight of my summer! Will hopefully promote the festival in Middle Magazine x
