With the words ‘vintage’ and ‘retro’ attached to it now, the three profiles we follow brings the art form back to life.

We aren’t restricted to old albums and movies to understand Rock’n’Roll, Rockabilly has been surrounding us without us even noticing.

The Hong Kong Classic, The Diner, the restaurant that brings you back to its roots, the hottest Rockabilly band The Boogie Playboys and leading lifestyle trend setter 59 Tattoo and Barber Shop, shows the multi-facete ways of living the fifties lifestyle.

Transcended from a very westernised social norm, we now call it ‘Rockabilly’ This hidden community in Hong Kong is slowly expanding bit by bit, spanned across the city.

thought of gathering as a group to make music. We like Rockabilly and had merely wanted to admire everything about it, together”.

Coming across individuals in Hong Kong then with a strong liking and interest towards the Rockabilly genre and culture was considered rare, so it was fascinating for the members to be able to share and appreciate their collective passion together. 2013 was the year that The Boogie Playboys had solidified their membership, and Barry, the drummer and one of the vocalists of the group, deems The Boogie Playboys as a Rockabilly collective with great chemistry and a strong bond.

When asked about an aspect of the Rockabilly culture that is especially captivating, The Boogie Playboys agreed that what did it for them was the entire package consisting of Rockabilly music, fashion, automobiles, and an energyfilled attitude. Rockabilly places heavy emphasis on style and clothing, with its bright, bold colours, sleek suits, denims, twotoned brogues, and pompadour hairdos – an impactful aesthetic that is relatively uncommon under the Hong Kong spotlight.

To The Boogie Playboys, researching and playing around with Rockabilly fashion and style is an integral process that is full of fun, adding to their dynamics as a group on the stage and in the studio. “Our image and sound are fun and dynamic”, the members laughed as they admitted to embodying Rockabilly’s rebellious, free, and youthful attitude. In conjunction with The 59 Tattoo and Barber Shop’s retro interiors and flashy automobiles straight out of the fifties, shareholder Max and The Boogie Playboys’ lead vocalist and guitarist Felix join together

to spread out the Rockabilly vibes with their endeavors in the Street Retro Bikers Club.

The Boogie Playboys had been a vital executing part of The Dirty Boogie Rockabilly Festival, an experience designed to introduce and share Rockabilly with Hong Kong. Largely inspired by the renowned Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, a fiesta with pool parties, fashion and car shows, fifties tattoo parlours and band performances, The Dirty Boogie Rockabilly Festival had gathered the efforts of fellow Rockabilly and fifties culture lovers and bands in its beginnings, five years ago: “The Rockabilly circle in Hong Kong seems to be expanding bit by bit, and it appears that more people have been intrigued and interested in finding more about Rockabilly music and culture”.

The members share their idea of integrating a marketplace into the festival this year, and to create a community of a retro Rockabilly bazaar to strengthen the interaction and materialize the Rockabilly experience.

the duo and two other partners, “seeing that it was a great space, we rented it immediately and worked from there” this decision might be a quick one, but the impact that it did was something that was never expected.

Rooting from their mutual liking for vintage motorcycles, it lead them to different communities that share similar values. They started absorbing more from different circles, their understanding for the fifties lifestyle enriched by the experience, their own sense of style and cultural preference is

ever growing, and is not bound by a singular term. Marcus believes that it’s a journey, searching for his personal style, the more you take in through the years, you’ll realise it’s a whole set of values that you take on, you get to know what you truly love and appreciate. It’s not just a singular aspect, or look that you’re representing.

The pair describes their style as being a very retro British style.

The decor of their shop shows that their lifestyle does not limit to their physical appearance, the pair understands that to fully understand a lifestyle, all the aspects of your life matters. By the looks of their shop, the pale turquoise walls paired with the solid contrast of hardwood. Hung all over the walls are posters of the fifties era, collections of tattoo sketches from around the world, mostly styles of the fifties, some even from the era of old school Hong Kong, the store is a living and breathing proof that embodying the culture is not only a chase for a trend but to appreciate the lifestyle and to live it out through your daily life, to understand the lifestyle rather than to copy others.

“Hong Kong lacks of culture” Marcus and Nigo agrees, they think that it is important for the city to build more character, to create more platforms where people could know more about our tattoos and the “look” that we represent. Telling people that “this is not a trend, this is a choice

of culture, you have to accept that to live out a culture it has to be lived to it’s fullest, it’s classic” This culture does not seem to particularly stand out in Hong Kong, not a lot of people would get into depth in exploring this lifestyle choice, many would just simply follow a hot trend, it’s so popular nowadays to blindly follow what’s popular as opposed to truly understanding the aesthetics behind it. Not a lot of platforms could expose this culture to other groups, except for the ones who have a genuine interest, you have to have specific likings to know the culture, and explore around it.

The boys of 59 Tattoo and Barber Shop wishes to branch out in making their shop a known brand, by encompassing Hong Kong elements into the vintage lifestyle that inspired them. The artwork that they collect from old tattoo shops in Hong Kong embodies the culture from when it all started in the city, having got the sketches from the most original tattoo shops in Hong Kong, most of the drawings are from the 70’s and the 80’s, they want to preserve it by marking it’s growth and the way that tattooing has progressed through the years.

Instead of looking at the fifties lifestyle as just a trend, the pair hopes to add in their personal input, morphing it into a style of their own, the pair seeks to build their lives around the culture. Marcus’s tattooing concepts comes from his love of the retro culture, encompassing the images that inspired him from where it all started, and add in elements of modern Hong Kong, “It’s a whole new style!”

Being able to make it known for their own style, and as a brand that is their biggest goal.

#BORNOUTOFMUSIC

The pair wants to tell everyone that we should not be restricted by a specific culture or style, to acknowledge what’s happening around us, understanding your own interests, is a huge part in embracing culture, not to only mimic. The time you put into learning about the culture will bring more significance to your life, understanding the depth of what the fifties could affect you, past the fashion and the clothes.

When asked the best place to get to know more about the culture, the pair suggested The Dirty Boogie Rockabilly Festival.

It is a great event to expose the culture to new comers, 59 Tattoo and Barber Shop will also have a booth on the night, performing live tattooing sessions, a haircut booth to complete your fifties look. The pair lastly added for interested parties do your research online and expect to be surrounded by fifties enthusiasts.

Marcus and Nigo hope in the future that the culture could transcend to all ages, ethnicity, it is the idea of finding out what you love most they want everyone to understand.

o-founders Melanie and David Riach explained the sole purpose of the Hong Kong Classic Festival was set up to celebrate classic cars and all things vintage in Hong Kong, from fashion to food and music. It all started with their Austin Healey 3000, a classic car they shipped from England to Hong Kong, having found little to none events hosted near the area, they saw a gap in the market for a vintage driven weekend, the pair decided to further develop the growth of the culture, as they saw exponential growth in the past few years.

For the past three years, the festival attracted mostly classic car and bike enthusiasts who wanted to see and even hear some of the cars in action, and also quite a lot of photographers find this a rare opportunity to snap so many great cars in one location. It’s a hub for the likeminded community to spend a weekend exploring some of the International influences that might go beyond their previous understanding of the culture itself, the pair hope for attendees to “walk away with a new appreciation and interest in classic vehicles and culture” It’s a mission for them to expose the local community with what’s more to the growing retro culture in Hong Kong.

By bringing in elements from classic vehicles to films, art and workshops, the festival surely covers all the aspects of the lifestyle itself. It engages

a themed restaurant working in other big cities such as London and New York, he wanted to venture into Asia, bringing in the lesser known aesthetic of an American fifties styled diner. Of course the cuisine plays a heavy role in depicting a restaurant’s image, but for The Diner, the food and the name was just simply not enough. About all of the decorations are original pieces from America, Thomas personally sources them in order to create a coherent vibe throughout the whole dining experience. The furnish of the shop could only be described in one simple word: Retro.

When asked which piece of decoration is Thomas most proud of, the most obvious winner has to be the back-end of a real 1958 Cadillac car which is now converted into a sofa.

His latest acquisition is a vintage 1950 Plymouth Police Patrol car sheriff’s door owning its place on the side of the wall, The Diner is a museum-like restaurant where everyone not only enjoys a meal, but also finds excitement in being carried back into the fifties everyday life.

Thomson wants to preserve the era that is filled with optimism, dreams and fun, he found that through music, fashion and decor, it could be transpired to modern day life. What The Diner explores is an extension of the fifties in our everyday life now. He shows that it’s not only from memories or pictures can we see the documents of the past, places such as The Diner, would like to preserve better yet continue growing the fifties aesthetic, making it into a modern day version of what was preserved, creating a place for people to become more aware of the lifestyle, creating a wider

With the rise of fifties representatives springing up scattered across the island, The Diner is one of the many faceted sides of the fifties.

ARCADIA SPECTACULAR rcadia Spectacular lives up truly to their name: spectacular, awe-inspiring, and an advocacy for a meaningful environmental cause through the medium of music, experience, and festivity. Cyrus Bozorgmehr reveals the team’s goals to bring worldly issues, such as sustainable and environmentally conscious living, as well as a common sensitivity towards cultures through expression, performance, and storytelling, to the attention of festival fans and frequenters, as well as the public.

Bozorgmehr comments on the difficulty of selecting their Asia stops, stating that

“everywhere we looked on the map, there was another city, another culture that opened up huge possibilities”. Settling the Asia tour stops in Seoul and Taipei was mainly due to the high quality of the venues, namely Seoul’s Olympic Stadium and the Taipei City Riverside Park, as well as the “warmth, kindness, and hospitality” of both locations. However, the personal relationships that the Arcadia Spectacular team was able to build with the respective local partners in both cities was ultimately what triggered the final nod of approval.

Inked ‘Tattoo’ comes from the Tahitian word ‘Tatau’, which means ‘to mark something’.

Hosted annually by the founder of Freedom Tattoo Studio Gabe Shum, the Hong Kong China International Tattoo Convention 2016 will be making its return this coming October, at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.

Attendees will be welcomed by more than 120 tattoo artists from across the globe, to witness the development of tattooing both internationally and locally. Thinking of getting your first tattoo?

Interested participants can book the tattooing service in advance so that they can discuss the design with their favourite tattooist to suit their needs.

The celebrity effect and growing emphasis on creativity help boost people’s interest in tattoo art.

However, some conservative Hong Kongers still see tattooing as a ‘traid symbol’ rather than a form of art.

Gabe hopes to break that misconception. “What they don’t know is that every tattoo has its unique story. Very often people get tattoos in dedication to someone, or

to remember an experience which created a significant impact on his life.” One of his’ previous clients used to get a new tattoo each time he loses a job. The long list of dates tattooed on his leg now became symbols of motivation, rather than a documentation of his failures.

Instead of using paper, tattoo artists use the human skin as the canvas for their artwork. Black and navy inks were the most used colours for tattoos in the early days, making three-dimensional artwork hard to produce.

However, after the rapid development of the tattoo culture in Western countries, bright colours such as red, yellow, purple and green are introduced, giving tattoo artists more potential to create realistic and lifelike tattoos. The design works are too evolving. Got a favourite cartoon character? You are certainly free to experiment with anything, there is no boundaries , given you have a tattoo artist of your choice.

Apart from serving as a platform to introduce tattoo culture to the city and to multiple communities within the city , the convention will

EASTERN HOMOSEXUAL MOVIES Nowadays, when more and more homosexuality advocates stand up for the legitimacy of same-sex marriage, homosexuality is not a secret as it used to be. Compared with the western societies, Asian countries hold a relatively conservative attitude toward the LGBT community, but with the widespread support of the love equality, Asian filmmakers try to sketch the same-sax love in their cameras and definitely they’ve done a great job in recounting the stories. Love is equal, and let’s take a retrospect of those great eastern homosexual movies.

當越來越多的同性戀支持者勇敢地表達對於同性婚姻的支持，同性之戀已經不再像過去一樣是一個秘 密。和西方社會相比，東方社會對於同志之愛持有相對保守的態度。但是隨著戀愛平等觀念的廣泛傳播， 亞洲的電影人也用他們的鏡頭刻劃了這些愛情故事，顯然，他們完成了許多精彩的作品。愛是平等的，讓 我們一起回顧一下經典的同性之戀電影吧！ performances sketch the confusions that Wan and Foon held about their relationship.

Although they were the best friend and company for each other, but they never had any commitment on love. However, when the two ladies finally reunited after 50 years apart, at that moment, all pains and sorrow were gone, time proves that it’s pointless to define love.

INTIMATES uring the 1940s, when masculinity was the dominant in feudal China and woman was still a puppet under the control of her father and husband, two women met and tried to escape from the coercion. Foon (Charlie Yeung) was coerced by her family to marry a thug as a property to repay their debts, Wan (Carina Lau) saved her so that Foon could work in Wan’s family-own silk factory.

BLT BURGER As one of the older burger joints in the city, BLT Burger provides a warm and familyrestaurant feel, very much mimicking the American dinner experience found in local burger joints. Coinciding with the traditionally American interior design, the joint’s extensive menu boasts a lengthy list of milkshakes (spiked or nonspiked) alongside its variety of burger options (vegetarian freindly) in an attempt to offer an authentic American burger-tomilkshake pairing experience.

BURGER CIRCUS For those looking for an old-school American diner experience, Burger Circus may be the restaurant for you.

With a train-carriage themed room, the restaurant takes design inspiration from late19th century diners. The ‘Circus Classic’, ‘American Acrobat’, ‘Circus burger’ and ‘Double Act’ present themselves as relatively conventional burgers. However, what distinguishes them apart from your ‘classic beef burger’ is the magical ‘Circus sauce’ presented in its list ingredients.

CALIBURGER If you’re looking for an ‘Inn-out’ experience in Asia, travel no further. Californian-inspired chain restaurant Caliburger very much mimics the style of ‘In-nout’ Menu-wise the rather simple list of items (simple yet tasty) includes a classic American hamburger, cheeseburger, a plain and BBQ ‘Chicken sandwich’ as well as a variety of milkshake options (spiked ones too!)

DANISH BAKERY Famous for its ‘Pork Burger Bun,’ Danish Bakery stands as a local Hong Kong take on the infamous American dish. Whilst it does not by any means possess the quintessential conventions of the traditional ‘burger’ it is unique in its own sense, preserving certain Cantonese flavors and introducing them in a more Westernized manner (with the bun) to cater to local audiences. Similar to the Macanese ‘pork chop bun’, the pork burger contains a deep fried cutlet on a toasted bun.

Hair: Hair is an important part of the vintage beauty routine, and a simple “Pinup” hairstyle will make you looks more immaculate.

So the key elements of this chic hairstyle are the big curls and the rolled bang. Using the big size barrel curling iron to twirl your hair in the back, rolling it inward and fixing the root with hairpin. Last but not least, spray mousses evenly to hold in the ideal shape.

Accessories: Vintage accessories are very versatile adn has the ability to jazz up your hairstyle, and it’s also the easiest way to add more hues to your outfit.

Also, jewellery hairpins are the best accessories that can make you look more elegant and vintage.

Eyebrows: The shape of the eyebrow are arched and usually in a thick line, so it fleshes out the outline and fill in the colours by using black or dark brown pencils.

Eyes: Apply the right amount of black eyeliner and mascara on the top lash, and draw an uptick at the outer corner of eye, which helps us to create almond-shaped eyes.

Eyeshadow: There is a wide range of colours on the 50s style eyeshadow palette, from today’s popular colours like brown, grey and nude satin. A point to note is that, we only need to apply the eyeshadow faintly at the bottom of the eyelid with a single colour.

Lips: Red is definitively the first choice of the 50s lipstick colour pattern, while poppy red, pink, orange-red are the most fashionable lip colours. Use a lip liner to draw the outline and shape a natural rounded lips with lipstick.

「時尚瞬息萬變，而風格歷久不衰」——這是著名設計師Yves

Laurent對於時尚的定義，衣物的時尚會隨著時間而改變，但是經典的造型

卻是永不過時的。當我們談及復古的時尚造型時，50年代的獨特風格總是 不可迴避的經典，即使是在當今社會，你總可以找到改良後的復古妝容和

髮型。50年代的時尚具備優雅和活力的特點，鮮豔的唇彩顏色和上揚的眉 毛展現了50年代的精神－年輕的活力。對於時尚人士，只需注意一些妝容 的細節，便可以擁有一個完美的復古的造型。一起感受經典美妝的魅力吧！

髮型：頭髮是整個造型重要的一部份，一個簡單的「Pinup」髮型是最佳

的選擇，而這個髮型的關鍵是後半部的捲髮以及彎彎的劉海。用比較大的

捲髮棒將後面部份的頭髮捲起定型，將前部劉海捲起髮捲並用夾子固定根 部，最後用mousses固定整個髮型。

配飾：復古的配飾是點綴髮型的重點，同時也可為你整個造型增添色

彩。一個波點裝飾的髮帶以及海軍藍或深紅色的蝴蝶結都是不錯的選擇。 珠寶也是復古造型的最佳拍檔，可以選擇帶有珠寶的髮夾或裝飾。

眉毛：經典的眉毛造型是向上揚的粗眉，大家可以選用棕色和黑色的眉

筆或其他眉色產品勾勒形狀以及填滿顏色。

眼睛：在上睫毛處使用適當份量黑色的眼線筆以及睫毛膏，在眼尾處畫

出上揚的線條，營造出海報上模特兒杏眼的效果。

眼影：50年代經典的眼影色有很多，如今比較流行的顏色有棕色、灰色

以及裸色。只需要輕輕塗抹單個顏色的少量眼影在眼皮底部即可。

嘴唇：紅色當然是50年代唇彩顏色的首選，深紅、粉色、橘紅都是很好的

選擇。先使用唇線筆畫出唇部的形狀，再用口紅填滿脣色。

The ‘60s Rock Powerhouse of the East: Korean Psychedelic Rock he Korean psychedelic rock genre is truly a hidden gem, unreachable without persistent rummaging through the depths of foreign influence through the ages, and past the glittery distractions of the booming South Korean pop culture wave. In particular, the ‘60s was a thriving and defining period for Korean psychedelic rock, as it had spawned pioneering figures in the genre, such as Shin Joong Hyun, Key Boys, and later, Sanulrim, in the ‘70s (to name a few). Korea’s psychedelic rock, heavily coloured by American blues and folk sounds, was fused with the addition of traditional Korean instruments and musical pungency. The genre had indeed

Shin Joong Hyun, the godfather of Korean psychedelic rock, is a forerunner in his difficult pursuits in the music of the postKorean War period. Wowing U.S. army bases under the name Jackie Shin, he had covered, most notably, Iron Butterfly’s ‘InA-Gadda-Da-Vida’, and produced in a style similar to the Ventures’, with heavy guitar experiments and surf rock elements.

DIE ANTWOORD

MOUNT NINJI AND DA NICE TIME KID

My obsession with five-piece British rock band TOY took place four years ago, as their synthesis of psychedelic rock, German krautrock, post-punk, shoegaze, and dream pop elements in their form was right up my alley. I was lucky enough to catch them in June, 2014. TOY will release their third album Clear Shot this October, and it will succeed Join The Dots after a period of three years. Their vocals present a familiar reunion, the most significant change would have to be the departure of former keyboard player Alejandra Diez, with Max Oscarnold replacing. The two pre-released singles: ‘Fast Silver’ and ‘I’m Still Believing’, the former delivering captivating, dream-like sensations, and the latter a musical concept of a clean break-up.

What makes TOY’s songs mature would have to be Tom Dougall’s delivery of a tone brimming with emotions and allure, portrayed in ‘Clouds That Cover The Sun’, a song that carries a graceful tempo of waltz, as well as the striking percussions and strings in ‘Jungle Games’ and the whimsical krautrock overtones in ‘Spirits Don’t Lie’.

I had disc-jockeyed at Clockenflap in its early days, and I had opened my DJ set at the 2012 Clockenflap with Die Antwoord’s ‘Fatty Boom Boom’. From early on, I had anticipated the Ninja and ¥o-landi Visser rap-rave duo from Cape Town to perform in Hong Kong. To my surprise, Die Antwoord released their fourth album 'Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid', two years after 'Donker Mag', as well as publicized the extremely exciting news of their addition to the Clockenflap line-up this year. This album, as usual, is one that makes listeners twist and turn with glee and distortion, especially the dramatic undertones and Broadway musical elements in ‘We Have Candy’, the EDM-cum-jungle combo in ‘Banana Brain’, and Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog and his sarcastic gangsta rap jabs in ‘Shit Just Got Real’. ‘Rats Rule’ had also featured Jack Black’s vocals in the Cabaret genre, while ‘Alien’ presents a melancholy sound in the triple measure and ‘I Don’t Care’ a distinct folk tone.

我對TOY這隊倫敦五人樂隊是多麼的趨之若鶩，畢竟他們那結集迷幻

全然對了我的口味，也慶幸曾在2014年6月看過其現場演出。如今TOY 10月

先行單曲〈Fast Silver〉和〈I’m Still Believing〉 ，前者呈現出耐人尋味的迷幻 色彩，後者卻是明快而直截了當的分手歌。現在TOY的成熟之處，是在Tom

Dougall能夠來得如斯情感豐富而楚楚動人，如〈Clouds That Cover The

Sun〉就是搖曳著waltz節奏而來，無論是〈Jungle Games〉的扣人心弦鼓擊 抑或〈Spirits Don’t Lie〉的迷魂krautrock底蘊，都不失其夢幻幽美韻味。

WILCO

SCHMILCO

Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornellà held his individual exhibition in June at Connecting Space in North Point. I was lucky enough to chat to him. I also learned about the alternative country band Wilco from Chicago, and their tenth album 'Schmilco' released in September 2016. The album feature a cover art by Cornellà himself, something that immediately familiarized me with this album, although I had encountered Wilco’s music long before Cornellà’s rise to fame. Do not be misled by Joan Cornellà’s dark wit and striking illustrations. Schmilco, named after American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson’s 1971 album 'Nilsson Schmilsson', possesses no trace of the experimentally distinct vocals in 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot', nor the style in the previously released 'Star Wars'. Jeff Tweedy brings to the world an album of the soft rock/country rock one similar to 'Sky Blue Sky'. Fortunately, songs such as ‘Locator’ and ‘Quarter’ still showcase Wilco’s distinguishing colours. 在6月間，西班牙怪誕插畫兼漫畫家Joan Cornellà在Connecting Space

ADRAIN LO

ABSENTEE

A friend of mine had recommended Adrian Lo, an independent singer-songwriter and producer in Hong Kong, but it wasn’t until recently that I had the opportunity to listen to his music at the ‘Ear Up Music Project’ where he was performing as a participant, and myself a panelist. Lo’s understanding of the realm and attitude of the independent musicality prompted him to digitally release his first four-track EP 'Absentee', which he plans to release physically in October. Lo possesses extensive knowledge in performing with classical violin and piano, so his productions guarantees a high level of quality. As a multi-instrumentalist performer, 'Absentee' was also an EP that Lo had written, performed, recorded, and produced all on his own. ‘Nobody Knows My Name’ may allow listeners to be reminded of James Blake, while ‘Dragon’s Den’ fuses sounds of the guitar and piano to sculpt a magnificent ballad number. ‘Selfie’ and its soul-jazz sounds highlight a hint of antique to Lo’s vocals, while ‘Waves’ exposes Radiohead’s influence on his creative endeavors. 早有朋友向我推介Adrian Lo這位獨立唱作歌手兼製作人，直到我在早

樂經；與此同時，我們也得悉到美國另類鄉謠天團Wilco在9月面世的專輯

《Star Wars》所呈現的菱角組態，Jeff Tweedy所帶來是一張傾向soft rock/

country rock專輯，與《Sky Blue Sky》有點接近，但如〈Locator〉或〈Quarter〉 等歌曲亦不失Wilco的怪裡怪氣另類色彩。

會以James Blake來與他作相提並論，同時也有以結他與鋼琴主導的ballad

Notes From The Underground Marvel Vs DC In Gear Heaven

By: Sync Sing Sin syncsingsin

VS

I guess we’re all fascinated

by MARVEL vs DC . On one hand we admire Marvel’s constant hit making stagegies and on the other we just keep asking what’s happening with DC. Have you ever thought that the same has been happening within our dear manufactureres?

Yes I’m talking about Korg and Roland.

Both Legendary, both got their hits and misses, Korg’s volcas and Roland’s Boutiques created quite a strom among

both novices and experienced users. When it comes to 2016, Korg’s numerous ios apps, the export –to-ableton Electribes and even the minilogue remain fun and successful( don’t for get the Volca kick, coming in October). Whereas Roland’s “909 day” was actually not an impact as it claims to be, the TB-3 might as well be the only boutique that people likes ( you’re not gonna get a Roland tuntable are you) , the Serato-enabled DJ-808 in fact raises my biggest interest ( yes the KINK demo video does

stimulate me), we’re trying to get our hands on a demo unit ATM, hopefully there would be good news 這陣子，大定都被MARVEL

DC弄得頭暈轉向罷。

vs

一邊面佩服MARVEL的創意另

一方面又替DC不值。

但可有想過，在GEAR界也有著

同一樣的「既生逾、何生亮」 ？

說的是KORG VS ROLAND。

兩者都是經典廠商，大家都有

hits & miss，前者的volca後者的

Boutique series 不管在初心者或是

資深用家間都引發不少震憾。2016

年，korg首先交出了成績表，由一 系列的IOS

app，還有直接輸出

ableton的electribe series，到復 刻系列以及minilogue都是一時

之選（還有10月登場的低音武器

volca kick！）至於Roland，大肆宣

傳的909 day原來雷聲大雨點小， boutique系列的tb-3可能已經

是當中的人氣之作（你不會去買

roland的turntable/mixer罷）個 人則最期待DJ－808，serato對 應＋on board鼓機，看到KINK的

試玩片段已經叫人手癢。刻下我 們正在努力的聯絡有關方面作測

試，希望會在不久的將來為大家 帶來好消息。

Mod Confession

How Elvis Presley Shaped The 50's By: Modmod Monkey modmod.club

modmod.club

"I always wanted to be this tough James Dean type, but Elvis was bigger than religion in my life. When I heard Heartbreak Hotel it was so great I couldn’t speak." - John Lennon He was an underdog, a truck driver from the rural south, just before the world praised him as the king of rock and roll . He is now our beloved Elvis Presley.

John Lennon says there was nothing before Elvis.

The main stream music was dominated by decent gentle wonderful singers like frank Sinatra, then It was primarily the black musicians who were championing a radical new form of music, but without much success. Elvis took the torch twisted and turned it into Rock and Roll in the 50s.

1956 was a year like no other. In January,Elvis was a regional sensation, but by year's end he had become an international phenomenon.

He made his first two albums a pink portable 45 rpm record for RCA, appeared on national player for her bedroom. Elvis television 11 times, signed was probably the main reason a seven- year contract with that made the American youths Paramount Pictures, and stared began buying the new portable in his first movie, Love Me transistor radios and listen to Tender.

YCC Juke Box C86

By: Yuen Chi-Chung yccmcb.blogspot.hk

“C86” was the limited edition cassette tape created by an British music magazine NME, in the summer of 1986.

It was only available through subscription by mail, recorded 22 songs from the up and coming independent bands of the era. It was also a follow up with the partnership between NME and Rough Trade Records, as a 5th year edition to their original “C81” “C86” remarks the fresh new sounds of the industry, their music styles reflects their rebellion towards the mainstream flow. The majority of the bands displays a raw jangle-pop, guitar leads all kind of aesthetic, it also features the shyness in the bands in reflection to their personalities, which saw the birth of the shambling scene (as described

by John Peel) which has a direct affect towards the latter development of the British indie-pop and twee-pop.

“C86” signifies an important development in the history of British indie music industry.

C86 seems to have been built into a school of music rather than a label or a music style. Although the year saw the birth of vibrant, passionate songs from Primal Scream,The Soup Dragons,The Wolfhounds,The Bodines,Mighty Mighty,The Pastels,The Shop

Yuen Chi-Chung

Assistants,Close Lobsters,Miaow and The Wedding Present, C86 does not simply stand for the AKA for indie music. As demonstrated in the cassette, the variety of music also includes, neopsychedlic representative The Mighty Lemon Drops, post punk tracks such as A Witness, Half Man Half Biscuit and The Shrubs, even showcase post-punk bands, We’ve Got a Fuzzbox and 《C 8 6》是 英 國 音 樂 週 報 N M E We’re Gonna Use It, lastly bands 在1986年夏天出版的卡帶合輯，起 of no specific genre bounds, 初只供郵購，結集了一眾當年的新 Stump, Age of Chance and The 晉獨立樂隊生力軍，輯錄共22首曲 Mackenzies are all featured. 目，也是作為之前與英國獨立廠牌 Technology was not as fast Rough Trade合作的《C81》卡帶合 paced as the what we have now, 輯於5年後的延續作品之一。 when “C86” first came out I didn’t 在《C86》裡，所搜羅都是彰顯 even have the slightest clue.

上軌道(當中包括了Half Man Half

Biscuit、The Soup Dragons、The

Wedding Present、Mighty Mighty 等多位樂隊的曲目)。

多年來我並沒有購回《C86》

我對1986、87年年輕青春獨立音 樂所存有的情意結。

Sneaker Shout-Out By: James Tang (占史) Jst.dj

It’s undeniable that over the past few years ‘the lucky clover’ has been hard at work on their designs and branding, designs such as Yeezy boosts and NMDs have both become icons on the sneakers hall of fame. Don’t even go around claiming to be a sneaker-head if you don’t have you hands on a pair or two!

Despite the aforementioned marketing strategies, and sales techniques, the celebrity effect also kick-

Who else to thank but Kanye West!

If you are one of the acclaimed sneaker-heads, You must remember the Air Yeezy that once ruled them all, however it is recently sighted in one of the chain stores in America.

James Chan @Love da Records How would you best describe the style of Love Da Records?

It started as a distribution company, bringing in International music to the local music scene. Slowly morphed into a record company, helping Western bands break into the Asia market.

Which local band do you think we should pay close attention to?

All of them! Hong Kong has a diverse variety of music, I would highly recommend Triple G, ni.ne.mo David Boring. Follow our Facebook page as well as other media to know more about up and coming bands.

Everything, everything that has a beat to it, do not be restricted to just one type of music genre, explore all the possibilities.

Any hobbies?

After deep consideration, I would say I love doing nothing, it well describes what I am truly keen for! I would say that this has to be the most what I most enjoy doing, and I don’t see it as a waste of time, as I am enjoying my life.

What are you most excited about now?

I’m looking forward to
