MRS FAIR WEATHER

fair weather cyclist never rides when it is raining, always looks stylish but comfortable, prefers to take safe and picturesque routes and rarely travels without a picnic hamper and a bottle of wine. If that sounds like you – but you’re missing the wheels – then a trip to Mrs Fairweather’s Bicycle Emporium will have you joining the peloton in no time.

Designer and bike builder Nigel Venning might be the ultimate fair weather cyclist, but there’s no holding back when it comes to rescuing and carefully restoring old rattlers into stylish rides.

The Emporium began after restoring a bike as a Christmas present, with wife Louise so impressed with the transformation she suggested he turn it into a more serious hobby.

Now under the suitably dapper pseudonym Millwright, Nigel lovingly restores and names bicycles, like Eve, the emerald step-through with whitewall tyres, and Percy, the speedy colt, with the help of Louise and friend Connie, who crafts the backstory to each creation.

Mrs Fairweather’s can deliver a readyto-go vintage bike, or straighten out your

Nigel has also been busy participating in exhibitions and design shows, along with working on some custom-builds for Bulmers cider.

Spring holds exciting developments for Nigel and his hobby-turned-business, with the Prince Albert Hotel in Gawler set for renovation under Mrs Fairweather’s watchful eye. The hotel will become a cycling haven – fair weather, of course – with a bike studio, café and boutique

With spring the perfect time to get onto your bike and into the sunshine, Mrs Fairweather’s is the first stop on the quest to find the perfect vintage cycling partner.

tepping into Husk is like walking into the wardrobe of the world – pieces have found their way to Adelaide from Italy, Vietnam, Peru and beyond. Close to 70 jewellery brands and over 75 designer clothing labels are at your fingertips in the Hyde Park and Burnside stores.

The enviable selection ranges from the kaleidoscopic prints of Clover Canyon to Helmut Lang’s signature silhouettes and exquisite dark fabrics.

Hermione de Paula is also being lauded as an exciting brand to watch this spring, with statement garments inspired by music.

Husk offers more than extraordinary fashion labels – their jewellery and handcrafted homewares are spectacular as well. On request, Hyde Park also offers an out-of-hours service for small groups and private shopping.

SALAD DAYS INC.

BY ASHLEIGH KNOTT / PHOTOGRAPHER: SIA DUFF

As the creation of four young Adelaide creatives, Salad Days Inc. has an ‘all for one and one for all’ spirit.

The multi arts space opened late July with a tasting platter exhibition of Adelaide art including work from Jake Holmes, Joel Van Moore and Fruzsi Kenez.

Established by long-time friends Alyshia Mckinnon, Nicole Wenn, Nick Yap and Alex Dearman, Salad Days incorporates a vegan cafe, gallery, second-hand clothes boutique and music venue.

Based on a punk sensibility, it strives to embrace all art. “I like the thought of everything being multi-sensory, nothing’s ever caught in one discipline,” says Alyshia.

They join Adelaide’s growing groundlevel arts scene alongside the likes of Tooth and Nail, Espionage, The Mill, FELTspace and Mad Mouse Alley.

To keep things fresh the space is continually changing with new exhibitions fortnightly and an ever evolving menu.

“We want to make a bit of a storm,” says Alyshia.

The inner-city space is intimate with a hangout vibe, and that’s the way they want it. “You don’t have to have this pristine, clean, high-class place,” says Nicole.

“I think it’s all about creating new experiences in Adelaide,” says Alex. “It’s a great city and it has so much potential if we make the most of it.”

elebrate spring with an arty accessory from Tiff Manuell’s new bespoke collection – each piece gives you the chance to buy your very own rainbow. Director of Happy House, Manuell’s range brims with the same colour, creativity, and heart as your childhood fave – but for adults. The Unley local (who loves Gorman and is inspired by everything pop culture) pays personal attention to every clutch, iPad pouch or fringed cuff, so they can be “worn, used and loved” by their new owners.

The debut range features handcrafted accessories in a range of versatile shapes

KIRSTY IRWIN IS THE CREATIVE MIND BEHIND A SUCCESSFUL EPONYMOUS LABEL AND EAGERLY AWAITED JAGGER THE LABEL, AS WELL AS A MUSICIAN, BLOGGER AND QUEEN OF EFFORTLESS STYLE. WE TALK INSPIRATION, SPRING STAPLES AND JAGGER THE LABEL WITH THE ADELAIDE DESIGNER – AND IN HER OWN WORDS, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET! What sets JAGGER apart?

JAGGER covers all bases such as denim, leather, exclusive prints and staples every month.

What was the aesthetic you were aiming for with Space Odyssey?

For Space Odyssey I wanted to do something a bit quirky and fun. I never got to play with prints for KIRSTY IRWIN so I really went crazy with it and ended up doing three prints for that collection.

You can pick up Manuell’s vivacious designs from Bauhaus, or find her on Facebook and Etsy.

FACEBOOK.COM/TIFFMANUELL ETSY.COM/SHOP/TIFFMANUELL

What’s your favourite piece?

It’s so hard to choose! Every time I design a new collection, it always becomes the new favourite. I’ve played around with some embossed leather for next year, which I am excited about.

Who is the JAGGER girl?

The JAGGER girl is relaxed, confident and a little bit rebellious. She can throw on one of her boyfriend’s tees, leather pants, heels and look perfectly polished.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

My main source of inspiration comes from music… when I’m designing a collection I’m really trying to set a mood or tell a story.

P H O T O G R A P H E R : J O N AT H A N V D K

JAGGER: 5 MINUTES WITH KIRSTY IRWIN

(the half moon is our pick) made from fabric painted with polka dots, bold stripes or joyous watercolours, then encased in hardy PVC. Manuell painstakingly adorns each piece, using techniques such as thread detailing and scalloped fabric to ensure your new purchase is a one-off treasure.

What are your must-haves for spring this year?

Oh spring, how I long for you! Oversized t-shirts and leather shorts are a must.

What piece of advice would you give to aspiring creatives or designers?

Never ever give up!

What can we expect from JAGGER in the future?

I really want to close the gap between high-end fashion and easy-to-wear pieces.

Ultimately you can expect everything you need to achieve that classic off-duty model style.

A Happy Death From Adelaide to Sydney to Paris and back again – Kara Town of AHD PAPER CO. speaks to Attitude about art and the good life.

What’s the story behind the phrase 'A Happy Death'?

Whilst we refer to ourselves as AHD PAPER CO. or AHD, the acronym does stand for ‘A Happy Death’, which is a novel by French existential novelist Albert Camus. When Chris and I first got together I noticed he had a number of A Happy Death paperbacks amongst his collection of books (for some reason, he’d collected copies of the novel every time he came across one in his travels). Immediately the novel’s title resonated with me. Is that not what we are all working toward? Given the environmentally sound nature of our products and the joy derived from art and the act of giving, we decided that this was a wonderfully apt name for our stationery company. It was then we also adopted the catchcry “…a life well used brings a happy death.”

Tell me a little bit about your background and training. What did you do before AHD? I have a degree in Visual Arts, major in Art Theory in History, minor in Printmaking.

I also studied Fashion Design briefly.

I worked solidly in fashion retail for a number of years. For the past six years, I‘ve been working in lighting consultation in Sydney, working with a number of interior designers and architects. Chris was a practicing artist when we first met, and continued to have exhibitions until about a year ago. He has studied at RMIT and National Art School. Chris has been a cook, a stationery buyer, and the manager of a bookstore.

You recently returned to Adelaide after a stint in Sydney. What prompted the move to Sydney?

Chris is actually from Sydney. At the time we met, he was living in Adelaide; | 3 4 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

we got engaged within two months and married six months later. Around six months after that, we decided to move back to Sydney. We both felt a fresh start would be wonderful for us as a newly married couple. Chris had moved around a lot previously (living in Sydney, Perth, Mexico, London, Adelaide), so he knew Sydney was the place he wanted to reside, and I was ready for a new challenge.

Why did you decide to move back to Adelaide?

We lived in Sydney for around six years, with a short stint living in Paris. We had a lovely semi in the inner west of Sydney, and had lived there happily for the entire time. As the business started to grow in the last year and a half, we were outgrowing the home and the small studio we worked from at the front of the house.

On a whim, we decided that we would try our luck in Adelaide. Within two weeks

of deciding this we found, fell headover-heels in love with and subsequently purchased our first home. Owning a home complete with studio and land, gives us the freedom to work on AHD more and work on our dream of building a lifestyle that’s more self-sustainable.

How has the creative scene in Adelaide changed since you’ve been away?

We both feel Adelaide has grown a great deal since we have been gone. We are incredibly impressed with the amount of companies and small businesses that have started up and thrived since we left. The food scene has boomed – I’m continually impressed with the eateries that are opening up (I’ve compiled a list, and intend on ticking them off one by one). Our current favourite is Café Troppo in Whitmore Square – the food is superb, and it’s got a great little fit out too. In terms of galleries, SAMSTAG opened during our absence, such a

wonderful space and international visual arts scholarship. We are also big fans of Hugo Michell Gallery and the artists they represent. Our home is also close to the Port Adelaide precinct, and it has been fabulous to see, first hand, the work of Renew Adelaide. The Port is such a beautiful old industrial mecca which I’ve been captivated with since I was a child, so to see smaller stores and boutiques moving into previously disused spaces makes us incredibly happy. It will be interesting to see how it evolves in the coming years.

What’s next for AHD? Within the next month we will travel to Melbourne for the boutique Life Instyle Trade show where we will launch our current collection, including Christmas cards. This means, upon return there will be long days of sitting in the studio folding, and packing card (every AHD card is lovingly packed by Town hands). On more | 3 5 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

of a personal note, we also have one of our artists coming to stay with us, Will Lynes of LYNES & CO. Will is a special-effects sign writer who specialises in gilding (gold leaf) techniques, glass art and reverse hand painted signage. He has worked closely with interior designers like Sibella Court and has put his hand to many companies, eateries and businesses in Sydney such as The Grounds Of Alexandria, Bazmark, Mr. Wong, Louis Vuitton, The Society Inc. and QT Sydney. And his next (unofficial) project is to transform an empty brick wall in front of our studio into something rather special (in between catching up, and showing he and his partner around Adelaide, of course!). We also have dreams of opening a store here in Adelaide, and buying an apartment in Paris… one thing we have realised with AHD, is that ideas can come into fruition with hard work and determination.

MICHAEL AND NATASHA OUR BUS IS: A 1971 AUSTIN BUT WE CALL IT: OUR HOME ON WHEELS. It’s now: Parked at our friend’s workshop having some work done to prepare it for our honeymoon in October.

The favourite thing about our bus is.... The stunning ocean views, and a fresh hot cup of tea while on a long haul.

The rules to driving our bus are....

1. Take corners a little wider than you would in a car

But Mike first got it: When I returned to Australia in 2006 not knowing where I wanted to live, so I decided on a bus.

But we really hate it when... We have to keep our eyes glued to the temperature gauge in summer and give her a break every half hour.

2. Gear down for long descents 3. Smile and wave 4. Pick up hitchhikers.

The story behind our bus is... Largely unknown, but I found it from noticing a for sale poster on a pinup board at a shopping centre. The next day I drove up to Melton (a tiny town at the top of Yorke Peninsula), saw it, fell in love with it, and bought it.

The best story I have with the bus is... My old housemates and friends took a trip to Eyre Peninsula a few years ago. We piled in and went to stay in Port Neill for a few weeks.

Our bus has let us down by... Being an inch too low inside to let Mike stand up completely straight.

The furthest our bus has been is... to the Folk, Rhythm & Life festival in Victoria.

But one day we hope to take it to... Tassie first, and then a multitude of festivals. Mike: I’m a musician and plan to start touring with my groups, The Various Nefarious and Monsieur Swing.

The bus is different to every other bus because... It has an absolute top speed of 80km/hour.

Road Trip mixtape: 1. Boban Markovic – Balkan Fest 2. Titi Robin – Katchur Kahn 3. Jelly Roll Morton – Black Bottom Stomp 4. Taraf de Haidouks – A La Turk 5. Charles Mingus – Haitian Fight Song 6. Duke of Iron – The Lost Watch 7. The Underscore Orkestra – Dickens Mad Dash 8. Benny Goodman – Clarinetitis 9. Stuff Smith – Sam the Vegetable Man 10. Radio National Road Trip must haves: 1. Flexible time schedule 2. Coffee pot 3. Friends

MY BIKE PHOTOGRAPHER: PHEBE RENDULIC

ED STYLES AND LIAM KENNY OUR MOTORBIKES ARE: ED: 1980 YAMAHA DX100 LIAM: 1967 HONDA S90 BUT WE CALL THEM: WE HAVEN’T REALLY NAMED THE BIKES YET BUT WE’RE THINKING OF CALLING OUR MOTORBIKE CLUB THE GOON GOBLINS. It’s now… Ed: 33 years old and in need of a bit of attention.

Liam: 46 years old, but looking brand new.

But when I first got it … Ed: I was on my Ls, and had no idea about motorbikes.

Liam: It was a rusty relic from the depths of Ed’s shed The story behind my motorbike is…

Ed: It was discovered in a bank vault in Snowtown... Well not really, but I did buy it from a lawnmower mechanic in Snowtown who was rather adept at fettling the lawnmower sized engine.

Liam: After seeing Ed get around on his bike I talked to him about helping me find a similar one. He told me about the old S90 in his shed that needed a lot of work.

My dad had the same one as his first bike in the 70s, so we struck a deal. We spent the better part of a year pulling it apart and putting it back together to look and run like a brand new motorcycle, but it's still a work in progress.

The best story I have with the motorbike is… Ed: Well... I’ve ridden in two Bay to Birdwoods... accidentally. I was riding up the hill to Birdwood amongst a procession of vintage 30s and 40s cars and bikes, looking like a knob with an 80s Japanese motorbike.

Liam: I haven’t had it on the road for too long but some of my friends were pretty against the idea of me getting my motorcycle licence. This was after my 23rd birthday when I crashed a mate’s 50cc scooter directly into a brick wall. Ed fixed that one up too.

My favourite thing about my motorbike is… Ed: That it is easy to maintain, and will run on the smell of an oily rag.

Liam: It’s a classic but pretty unusual bike and you don’t see much else like it on the road. Every other day some old bloke will come over and want to have a chat about it.

| 3 8 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

I really hate it when… Ed: I take off too abruptly, and my girlfriend slides off the back seat.

Liam: I have to kick it over 30 times to get it going on a cold morning.

My motorbike has let me down by…

Ed: Running out of fuel in the rain.

Liam: Dying in traffic twice on the way here today!

There are rules to riding my motorbike…

Ed: Squeeze the brakes really hard otherwise you won’t stop, and rev the engine at the lights to get the indicators to work.

Liam: If you try and use the headlight and indicators at the same time don’t expect either to work. If you’re too hungover: walk.

BORIS THE CUTTERY Damien Rinaldo hated the cold, generic environments of many hair salons – so he set about creating a salon unlike any other.

BORIS – The Cuttery is all about the details; getting back to personal attention and expression with an artisan twist, with the results evoking an intimate and laid-back environment.

The salon combines sleek back-to-basics design with superb craftsmanship, with locally made oak mirrors, elegant marble bench tops and some tricky mirrors to make the most of the space. The dream team of Mash, Interior Pty Ltd, Samantha Agostino and Spud Client worked together on the innovative concept, creating an effortlessly tasteful salon, filled with personal touches that represent the Boris name.

From the geometric hand painted wall tiles (there’s over 800 unique squares designed

by Mash and made lovingly by Gerry Wedd) to the feature lights customised in NYC, and finished with Rinaldo’s own antique crystal vessels dotting the benches, everything about

the salon is precisely considered to make the customer feel immediately at home. The staff are all part of the Boris family too, each given a witty relationship such as ‘next of kin’ or the ‘unsatisfied lover’ of their enigmatic namesake.

The team have styled shoots for Famous, Russh and culture, and as well as impeccable hair services using Shu Uemera and L’Oreal Professional products, also offer luxe treatments, expert makeup artistry and bridal services.

Whether you’re after a playful colour, bold new cut or simply an excuse to relax in a chilled environment – Boris knows best.

DARING TO EXPER IMENT WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK AT THE DESIGN HUB IN MELBOURNE

BY SUZANNE FRASER

| 6 2 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

“I’ll just throw on my Walter Van Beirendonck knitted dress and floating fish headdress and meet you there.” Regrettably it seems unlikely that this sentence has ever been uttered by a man-about-town in Australia (although presumably it is spoken once a day in downtown New York).Yet for those of us who are denied the opportunity of seeing a chap in our local coffee shop wearing a selection of felt fish on his head, it is all the more exciting to have an exhibition of Walter Van Beirendonck’s experimental designs currently on show at the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne.

In a similar vein, Walter Van Beirendonck has spent the last 30 years tinkering about with the accepted forms and functions of contemporary clothing. In particular the designer is known for his continual manipulation of socially constructed norms in fashion – what men are supposed to wear, for instance. As the designer tells us,“I like to try and push forward the boundaries of men’s fashion and that’s why I question conditioned thinking… experimenting with shape, colour and codes that we are usually more familiar with in the context of women’s fashion.”

This is the first major retrospective of the Belgian designer’s work to be exhibited outside of Europe, as well as being the first international exhibition to be shown at the newly opened Design Hub in Melbourne.

The daring nature of Van Beirendonck’s fashion marries nicely with the distinctive form of the building in which it is displayed.

Designed by Sean Godsell, the Design Hub is a box-like structure covered in 16 thousand circular glass panels. This frosted skin gives the building the look of either an enormous mesh crate or a spotted and futuristic control centre, depending on where you view it from. This is certainly not your average bricks and mortar job.

In his menswear collections, Van Beirendonck includes such items as headdresses (which are almost as unusual for women as for men these days), necklaces, dresses, madcap colours and fabrics, and a jumble of prints. Not to mention creatural masks and knitted burqas. But beyond such aesthetic escapades, he is also widely respected as a stickler for immaculate design and visual balance in the outfits he creates. Everything he designs could easily be worn with ease and elegance, as long as the wearer has the guts to pull it off. And if such guts are not available, the 1997 Walter Van Beirendonck T-shirt representing the designer’s own

torso and chest hair might be a good place to start.

After graduating from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1980, Van Beirendonck joined with a group of other Belgian fashion designers, including Dries Van Noten, who together became known as ‘The Antwerp Six’. Their training, ambition and cleverness made these renegade designers the darlings of the 90s high fashion crowd. Their ‘looks’ subsequently trickled down into the affordable realm of fashion, influencing a generation of bright young things to play around with textures, shapes and colours in assembling their style. Additionally the influence of The Antwerp Six on subsequent emerging designers is unmistakeable, particularly in their experimentations with darker themes and deconstructed aesthetics in their collections.

In an interview from 1989, the street-style photographer Bill Cunningham famously described fashion as “the armour to survive the reality of everyday life”. Around this time – when Cunningham was also working for one of New York’s most experimental men’s publications, Details magazine – Walter Van Beirendonck was reimagining the armour available to men in the fashion market. This included kilts, platform sneakers, and all the colours of the rainbow.

In the current exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne, surveying Van Beirendonck’s career across three decades, we see the dreamed-up potential of what everyday clothing could look like. And since the designer continues to redefine the parameters of style, each piece on display is as contemporary and ‘in fashion’ as it ever was. When asked about his career achievements, his response is decidedly modest: “I’m proud that I dare to experiment and I’m also proud that my signature is so recognisable.”

Undoubtedly such pieces as his 1997 T-shirt with printed chest hair are completely Walter Van Beirendonck.Yet what is less easily definable, but definitely present, is the continuing influence of his experimental practice on new designers.

The staging of this exhibition in Australia will hopefully provide local design prodigies with ample food for thought – the more men in kilts the better, I say.

on the album; you can hear moments of Theo [Parrish] and Nicolas Jaar. It’s not as cohesive as I wanted it to be, that’s just me being super critical and never wanting it to be anything but perfect.”

Intrigue is a Valium-assisted cruise through house and techno’s chilled highways. The title-track sounds like a Warp release set to warm with heartfelt synths, broken beats and in four minutes is able to calm your soul in much less time, and for less money, than a Yoga or meditation retreat, while jams such as Close in Night and Tink Thrice are brilliant leftfield house cuts.

“It jumps between a few different things: slo-mo-house, a UK influence and broken beat in bits with some weird fruity interludes,” Rogers says of the album.“It’s got strange sounds. It’s sonically better than what I’ve ever done before. It’s somewhere in-between a headphone listen and a club listen. It bridges that gap where it’s cool electronic music to listen to on the bus but then at the same time it has some club functionality as well.”

ig things were expected of Rogers after debuting with Can’t Wait to Go to Mexico on local collective Bark Bang’s first 12-inch in 2008. Soon after that release, which also contained Sidwho?’s Time to Go and their collaboration Pretend, the eclectic Bark Bang collective (which also featured The Swiss and The Carter Bros) ended. Fast forward some years later and the other Bark Bang members have all released on world renowned labels: The Swiss – Kitsune, Sidwho? (now Surahn) – DFA while Rush Hour and Monty Luke’s Black Catalogue

released The Carter Bros. Rogers dropped solo and collaborative material through his own label Cuckoo Music, but music took a back seat to running the label as well as the club, Cuckoo, which recently celebrated its fifth birthday.

Now, Rogers has a creative outlet with Oddessa, which is more experimental and leftfield than the house and techno you will see him spin as a DJ. His album Intrigue is due to drop in October or November and will be released on local label Pilot Records, as it’s not club friendly enough for Cuckoo but is a perfect fit for the experimental Pilot. Rogers, ever the perfectionist, said the album wasn’t as cohesive as he would have liked, as it was written in various places over the last 12 months.

“Some of it was written on my laptop on a trip home from Melbourne just sitting there with Sanjii [Dillon – DJ] driving and me on the headphones, and just sporadically over the six months since then,” Rogers explained.“I think you can hear that on the album.You can hear the influences | 6 4 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

The album is a perfect fit for Pilot, which contains chilled genius Oisima on its books as well as the experimental electronic rock powerhouse Urtekk and the three-piece Question Question. Adelaide has the most thriving underground electronic scene since Dirty House and Juice ruled the world’s clubs back in the 90s with Pilot, Cuckoo Music and the young gun techno and tough house label Untzz. What is exciting about the three labels, and the artists on them, is that while all imprints represent different aspects of underground club culture, there is no beef. Cuckoo artists are on Pilot and vice versa while Cuckoo DJs play at Untzz nights and Untzz jocks spin at Cuckoo. There is harmony and they’re willing to collaborate for the good of the scene, which Rogers says is healthy for the city once labelled Australia’s Detroit. But there are differences, as Cuckoo reflects Rogers’ scattered taste.

“Cuckoo Music embraces a broader spectrum – it’s the sound of the club. It is stuff we would play at the club. As long as it fits under that banner, I’m happy, whereas they’ve defined their Untzz sound. They are one of the labels, more so, that you can pick up and know what you’ll get but Cuckoo is not that. ” And together, along with Pilot, Adelaide’s expanding underground club scene is in safe hands.

PILOT RECORDS IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR PILOT RECORDS HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS AN ON-POINT LOCAL LABEL OF EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC AND PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC WITH AN EXCITING ROSTER OF TALENT.

BY SIMONE KEENAN / PHOTOGRAPHER: JAMES HARTLEY

P

ilot founders and owners Ben Smith and Dave Brewer are also members of the label’s hybrid electronic outfit Urtekk, who recently popped their Triple J cherry with the track Intervals. Brewer explains the genesis of Pilot.

“Ben and I had just finished up playing in another band and decided to keep jamming and writing,” Brewer says.“Then one day Ben was telling me how he always wanted to run a record label and said that we should just do it. After joking about it for a moment we gave it a little thought and realised that maybe we actually could try this and maybe it could work.”

The duo quit their jobs and applied for the NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) program.

“We spent a few months getting things organised and finding some artists, distro, manufacturers, etc. [We] then launched in April 2012 and haven’t looked back since,” Brewer continues.

“Essentially we’re a team of two who

take on nearly all of the operations, with only a couple of areas being outsourced, so the workload can build up pretty quickly at times,” Smith explains.“Despite this, however, it keeps us on our toes and [we are] involved in every aspect of the label.”

The imprint’s roster includes Brewer and Smith’s own psychedelic electronic rock outfit Urtekk, as well as the old school influenced techno, electro and new beat trio Question Question, the drone shoegazers Ride Into The Sun and Pilot’s nationally acclaimed smooth jazz beatsmith, Oisima.

The label is diverse, forward thinking and continues to surprise and keep it edgy with new signings, which include the folktronica of Menagerie and leftfield producer Oddessa. When signing talent, Smith and Brewer look for artists that are true and honest to their art, as acts can always improve on the quality of their output.

“The ones who are serious about their art don’t need to be told about dedication or to work on improving their abilities, it’s already inbuilt,” Smith explains.

Brewer says their artists deserve a lot of

| 6 5 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

the credit for getting the label to where it is.

“There’s been a lot of hard work on everyone’s account. It’s been great how we’re going so far and some really cool things have happened along the way, but we’ve still got bigger goals on the horizon and there’s still plenty of time ahead of us.”

Aside from the releases, Pilot threw a festival earlier in the year, Pilot Fest, and celebrated their one-year anniversary with a party at Published Arthouse. More events, along with releases, are planned for the next 12 months, which the duo are tight lipped about, but they promise that Pilot’s second year will be “bigger than their first”.

This includes plans to expand.“We do have some exciting plans and have been getting interest from afar.” But they can’t let the cat out of the bag, just yet, as Brewer explains.

“We’re still in planning and discussions at the moment, so unfortunately we’re in that position where if we were to tell you anything, we may have to kill you... but as that’s not in our nature perhaps we just won’t let the cat out of the bag!”

YUNA OZASIA GETS HIP THANKS TO YUNA, A MALAYSIAN SOULFUL URBAN POP SINGER WHO HAS WORKED WITH PHARRELL WILLIAMS AND CHAD HUGO AND IS SIGNED TO LEGENDARY JAZZ LABEL VERVE.

A

former law student, Luna released her self-titled debut EP in Malaysia in 2008 before going on to win many AIM Awards (Malaysia’s music awards) in the following years. Signed to New York’s FADER label to release her debut album,Yuna, who owns a production company and a fashion store in Kuala Lumpur, is based in Los Angeles but travels back to Malaysia six times a year for work.

“Before I came out here [to LA] I made sure everyone knew that my life is in Malaysia. I still run a couple of companies in Malaysia, a production company and a clothing store that’s still active in Malaysia.”

Yuna’s 2012 debut LP saw her work with The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams while Def Jam’s Russell Simmons called her an “amazing new singer”. The smooth jazz pop mixed with an urban sensibility heard on her debut sounded like Feist and Alicia Keys jamming in a late night jazz cafe.

With her soft yet powerful voice, her album was punctuated with the singles Live Your Life and Lullabies with Yuna working with Pharrell on Live Your Life. She collaborated with Pharrell’s production partner in crime Chad Hugo (The Neptunes, N.E.R.D.) on her upcoming album, which will be her first on Verve and follows her recently released Sixth Street EP for the legendary label home to Natalie Cole, Carla Bruni and Andrea Bocelli.

“They both have similar but different styles,”Yuna says of Chad and Pharrell. “It was really fun to work with both of them.

I mean who else could say something like that? Yeah, I worked with Pharrell and I worked with Chad Hugo,” she laughs. “It was really exciting for me. Working with Pharrell was really cool because I got to be in Miami and be in the studio for five days. With Chad we didn’t have much time

together but we managed to come up with a couple of songs and one of the songs we worked on is one of my favourites and one of the strongest songs on the album. I’m excited about the response. Chad loves the song, I love the song and the label loves the song. So, I hope everyone’s going to love the song.”

Her next album will see her experiment with traditional Malay instruments. “[With the EP] I discovered the soul and R&B side of myself. I want to explore more of that field and to experiment with traditional instruments. With Malay traditional music, there are a lot of amazing instruments that I feel not a lot of people know a lot about and it could be a fun thing | 6 6 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

to experiment and that’s exactly what I do with this album.”

Traditional Malay instruments and songs from her new album won’t likely be previewed at her OzAsia performances.

“The shows will be the usual shows I perform because the album won’t be out until October. I still have some new music from the EP and that’s pretty exciting, as I’ve never performed songs from the EP outside of America before, so it’s great to be able to do that in Adelaide. I’ve never been to Adelaide, so I will be performing a lot of songs from my first album as well.”

FORGET TANQUERAY, HENDRICKS AND BOMBAY SAPPHIRE – A NEW FLEET OF HAND-CRAFTED GINS ARE IGNITING THE MARKET, EXPLORING NEW FLAVOUR COMBINATIONS AND CHALLENGING CONSUMERS TO EXPAND THEIR NOTIONS OF THE SPIRIT.

B

y day, Mark Reginato – more widely known as Reggie – is ‘Captain’ of Connect Vines and owner of #GAS (Great Australian Spirits) supplying a range of eclectic restaurants and bars with the latest small batch and artisanal wines and spirits. Come night, he’s whipping up some of your favourite gin cocktails – plus some new combos – at spots like Udaberri and Little Miss Miami, using 15 years of experience to give you next level drinks.

A staple in bars everywhere, gin appears in more classic drinks than any other spirit – Negronis, Singapore Slings, and of course the ubiquitous G&T. Although it can be savoured neat, the infused notes in gin come to life when it’s mixed, adding complexity to each drink.

The UK’s Fifty Pounds, San Francisco’s Junipero and the Melbourne Gin Company are just some of the labels pioneering innovative approaches across the world, and inspired venues across SA are experimenting with these boutique spirits to create fresh new blends.

Reggie is the driving force behind World Gin Day, an event aiming to generate exposure for these smaller joints willing to take bartending up a notch. Incorporating 22 SA venues and highlighting five international varieties of gin, it also encouraged punters to experiment and order something more than a gin and tonic.

“It’s the new white spirit,” Reggie says.

Knocking vodka off its perch, it’s the versatility and complexity of gin that elevates it above other spirits. Inherently

GIN, GLORIOUS more interesting to the palate, bartenders are increasingly calling on gin for their beverages, adding intensity and diversity to standard cocktail menus.

There’s also a growing focus on garnishes to harness the underlying flavours of the spirit, with somewhat unexpected additions like fresh coriander, lavender, or even tomato juice and smoked bacon in a Red Snapper, creating an intense kick, elegance or sweetness when desired.

Unlike some white spirits, no two gins are alike. Although all varieties use juniper as the springboard, from there the botanical combinations are endless, and distillers and bartenders alike are overwhelmed with creative opportunity. Some focus on one distinct infusion – take Gabriel Boudier’s heavenly saffron variety – while others | 7 2 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

blend a range of flavours, like Scottish gin Botanist, which clocks in at 31 elements.

Reggie favours the adventurous botanicals of Margaret River’s The West Winds Gin, with native flavours like wattle seed, Australian bush tomato and lemon myrtle creating depth in small batch varieties ‘The Sabre’ and ‘The Cutlass’.

Adding vegetables like capsicum and cucumber exposes vegetal flavours, tricking up a classic Collins with lavender releases botanicals, or enjoying with a wedge of lemon emphasises the citrus undercurrent joining the classic juniper.

To make lavender sugar syrup, place equal parts sugar to filtered water in a small saucepan with three small sprigs lavender over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Simmer, without stirring, for five minutes or until syrup thickens. Strain and transfer into a heatproof pouring jug. Set aside to cool.

For those who prefer to dabble in mixology at home, his advice is simple: better ingredients make better drinks.

Invest in quality gins with interesting notes and buy good mixers (try a club soda like Fever Tree or Capi for a divine G&T) – then immerse yourself in the glory of gin.

escribed by the team as “Tin Tin on exchange to Boston Uni”, Nordburger is a glorious culture clash. They serve up traditional US diner fare with a Euro twist, all in a Nordicinspired space – and right on The Parade.

With former MasterChef contestant Michael Weldon at the grill, it’s no surprise the flavours are innovative, and the true tastes of their fresh ingredients shines through. The menu certainly delivers – whether you’re a burger purist or feeling

adventurous – and offers perfect servings at perfect prices.

The burgers tick all the boxes: super juicy patties, soft buns and all your favourite extras. The Bacon Double, with its double dose of meaty goodness, pickles and signature Nord sauce will conquer all carnivorous cravings, or treat your tastebuds to a panko-crumbed mushroom burger with coleslaw. There’s also an extensive hot dog selection, from Chilli Dogs to the droolworthy Munich, each

served in an individual basket to get you nostalgic for US diners and long roadtrips.

Do yourself a favour and order a serve of moreish tater tots or chipotle chips, and wash it all down with one of their speciality shakes, including PB & J, pretzel, salted caramel, and our favourite, cornflake – it’s like your childhood breakfast in a cup.

Down the east end of Adelaide, things are looking pretty good. Ebenezer Place, the pedestrian-friendly elbow tucked away from Rundle Street, is a perfect place to start.

Adding to the charm are two new cafés, happy to nestle themselves alongside some of Adelaide’s best kept secrets.

Things to try: monthly ‘guest’ espresso (currently Seasonal and Guatamalan La Perla and Puerta) or a ‘coffee flight’ (an espresso and a cappuccino made from the same shot).

SWEET RELIEF Burger Theory is dropping the wheels for walls and opening a fixed store in the East End in late September. There will be burgers, of course, but also beer, cookies and potentially a dessert item the boys swear is the creamiest, thickest ice cream that money can buy: frozen custard.

We say potentially because there is a catch: they don’t have enough money left to import the outrageous machine required to make it. The machine comes from the States and is specially designed to eliminate air in the ice cream-making process. The ice cream is pushed instead of churned and then consumed “off the ribbon” – that is to say, as soon as it is made. Unlike regular ice cream and despite its name, frozen custard is made to be eaten fresh.

Of the $50,000 required, the boys are pledging half, and hoping that Adelaide will get behind them to pledge the other half. Beggars can’t be choosers, but pledgers can: there is a host of reward options on the site set up for the drive – ranging from simple burger credit to your name in lights above the machine.

In the modern Australian Defence Force each woman is as varied as the next.

Long gone are the days of it being a man’s realm or being confined to a set career path.

WOMEN IN THE

AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE

BY ASHLEIGH KNOTT / PHOTOGRAPHER: JOSIE WITHERS

We spoke to three women who are serving in the Navy and Army and are currently working at Defence Force Recruiting Adelaide, telling their own stories and breaking the misconceptions and inaccurate perceptions of what life’s really like as a woman in the Australian Defence Force.

What about the Army attracted you?

All the males in my family have done military service, so I grew up with all their stories. It’s just something I’ve always been interested in, as well as the normal stuff like travel and meeting people, but mostly it was the fact that I grew up with it.

What were your family’s experiences in the military?

They had it a lot tougher than what I’ve ever experienced so that’s what I was expecting when I joined the military and then I was like ‘god, it’s not as hard as what my family had to experience’. That was a pleasant surprise.

CORPORAL SHARON MATHESON

Has it helped you develop as a person?

Definitely. With the military, it has helped me grow from that messy teenager to an adult.You’re able to function as a normal adult, things are organised, everything’s in line, running smoothly. I think the Army has taught me to do that well and from a young age.

You enlisted when you were 17, why did you join so young?

I think I always knew I was going to join because my dad and my granddad were in the Navy. My brother is now in the Navy as well.

Was there anything that surprised you about life in the Navy?

When I first went to sea as a seaman, they’d just started putting females to sea. I think having a lot of other strong women in there, in that same situation, was definitely an eye-opener seeing that the females are doing these jobs as good as, or even better than, the blokes.

Was there anything specific about the Navy that appealed to you?

For me it was the travel. I can’t imagine having done all that travelling otherwise.

You have a young daughter and husband, how have you developed and maintained a family alongside your career?

I don’t have anything to compare it to – I’ve only ever had my daughter whilst in the military, but I don’t think the way I’ve managed that is any different to anyone else. My husband and I both go to work in the morning, she’ll go to day-care like most other kids, and we pick her up and come home, play with her, do all the normal routine stuff and then we start the next day.

What was the most exciting thing you’ve done as part of your job?

Definitely deploying to Timor, that would probably be the highlight. I’ve also had the opportunity to play netball for New South Wales which was another thing that I wanted to do while in Defence. I’ve also met the Chief of Army twice, which was exciting.

Where have you travelled?

We do a lot of exercises around South East Asia mostly, especially around Singapore and Japan. In my early days, I went to Christmas Island for the Border Protection up there. One of the highlights of doing Gulf deployments are the places that we get to stop at along the way. We visited the Maldives on the way up, and stop off for a couple of nights on a nice island, and then we stopped off in Goa, India on the way back.

What’s the most exciting thing that you’ve been involved in?

One of the good things is RIMPAC (Rim-of-the-Pacific, a biennial international maritime warfare exercise) and that’s an exercise based in Hawaii. There’s so many different defence forces over there who we get to work with, so professionally it’s a great thing and personally as well because you get time off in Hawaii – we actually got 10 days to island hop around Hawaii.

PETTY OFFICER ELIZABETH SMITH

Was it easy to incorporate your interest in sport with working in the Army?

Yes, I think the Army really does focus on the physical elements but it’s not really about winning and losing, it’s about being a good team player and giving it a go. I think you find all the way through the Army, if you’re someone who can just get out there and try it, people will be there to support you and back you up.

How did your friends and family react when you told them you were joining?

They were like ‘yeah, of course you’re joining!’ I have an elder sister who’s also in the Army and she’s really supportive and my parents thought it was a good idea because it would give me structure, good discipline and salary. I think they thought that as a young person it would set me up well.

Was there anything that surprised you about life in the Army?

Whatever suits your personality and your capabilities, you can focus on any direction you want to go. That really surprised me because I thought it would be a square that you’ve got to fit in, that’s it, no options.

Where would you like to go from here?

I’m with logistics and I’ve done a fair bit of training in command and now working in a joint environment so I’ll probably go back and be an instructor at ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy). From there I’ll look into working in the serious side of the Army, so perhaps being a unit commander, probably with logistics. But, hopefully later in my career, doing something with the United Nations and maybe being a liaison officer with them. That’s my dream.

Growing up, were you interested in sports?

From a young age, I’ve been really physically active. I went to boarding school over in Kenya from the age of association in Africa and we’d climb Mount Kenya every year. Carrying a pack, getting out amongst nature, getting lost and recovering yourself was all part of my childhood so I kind of slipped into that military lifestyle really well.

“I love the idea of a piece of furniture having no secrets.”

IN THE FAMILY

S

ome people have jobs. And some people have vocations. For Sam Weckert of East End Studios, making furniture isn’t just something he does to earn a buck – the craft has been in his family for generations.

“My love affair with timber started when I was a boy,” explains Sam Weckert.“I was brought up around it. My grandparents were all very creative, especially my grandpa Bert. In his short retirement, he hand made countless pieces of furniture and wooden toys for everyone in the family. My father has extraordinary skills working with timber – he built a fully functional horsedrawn cart out of Australian oak using only hand tools, which I eagerly watched the construction of.”

Weckert grew up on a farm in the tiny South Australian town of Brinkwood (population: 400), which meant that as a child, he had to make his own fun.“Growing up on the farm forced me to be creative,” he says.“There weren’t many cinemas or game arcades where I grew up, so my playground was the wide open space and the workshop.”

Under his father and grandfather’s tuition, Weckert began working with the materials that were available to him.“Most of my early pieces of furniture were built out of the Jarrah posts that formed the farms pig sties,” he recalls.“There were endless amounts of

aged timber lying around ready to be transformed.”

His early exposure to the craft of woodworking and construction left a lasting impression, and when he moved from Brinkwood to Adelaide at 19, he enrolled in a pre-trade course.“I quickly discovered that the best way to cut my woodworking teeth was to start an apprenticeship in carpentry,”Weckert explains. Working as a fix carpenter for a general builder, Weckert once again found that he was learning from his family – this time under the supervision of his cousin, James.“James taught me everything I know about carpentry. We shared a passion for recycling old timber and turning ordinary discarded timber into a fine piece of practical furniture.”

Weckert honed his skills and gained valuable experience working on the fitting out of Electric Circus, Mr Kim's, Rocket Bar and Rocket Rooftop. By this time, he was certain that his passion was for making unique, one-off furniture that would leave a lasting impression on people, a kind of antidote to the Ikea approach.“I think there are an increasing amount of people who want something unique,” says Weckert.“Sure, Ikea is quick and easy and reasonably cheap, but it doesn’t last forever and there’s no great romance behind it. Ikea sold almost 550,000 ‘Billy’ storage units worldwide in a 12-month window. But that fact in itself makes me not want to own one! I think a lot of people feel this way.”

The solution? Open a furniture store where he could offer something a little different – namely, traditionally handcrafted bespoke pieces of furniture and other | 8 0 AT T I T U D E M A G A Z I N E |

joinery projects.“The idea of East End Studios has been laying dormant in my mind for years,” says Weckert.“But it’s only recently that I’ve partnered up with Stuart Duckworth and Tom Skipper and have been able to have access to a permanent space.” Located on the corner of Grenfell and Frome, East End Studios is in a prime position.“The location is perfect,” says Weckert.“I get lots of interested eyes gazing in. Sometimes I forget that dozens of people can see my every move, so there is probably a lot of people that have seen me with my pinky in my nose trying to pry out saw dust!”

With the studio and workshop slowly taking shape, Weckert has been working on new techniques and constructions.

“We’ve recently purchased some new, larger machinery, so my focus has shifted to combing solid timber and plywood products,” he explains.“I love the idea of a piece of furniture having no secrets. I think visible dowels, joinery and connections of timber are generally far more attractive than a ‘swivel screw locking’ system, which has numbered days for strength and timelessness.”

Far from the uniformity of massproduced furniture, Weckert embraces a more experimental approach.“Using plywood integrated with an eclectic mix of hardwoods creates a stark contrast that loosely emulates modern Danish design. My approach is working with the timber’s form against the medium to create a unique twist on contemporary and post-modern design.

In short,”Weckert says,“I get wood working with wood.”

DIY HANGING BUD VASES CREATE A SWEET DISPLAY FOR YOUR SPRING FLOWERS WITH A SCANDINAVIANINSPIRED HANGING BUD VASE. YOU CAN EASILY WHIP ONE UP IN AN AFTERNOON.

You’ll Need: • T hree small vases with wire hangers (available from Bed Bath ‘N’ Table and many craft stores) • A stick (approximately 30cm long) • White acrylic paint • A paintbrush • Twine (we used cooking twine, available at the supermarket) • Scissors

Step 1 Make sure your stick is clean from dirt or debris. It’s okay if it’s not perfectly straight – knots and imperfections will add character.

In a well-ventilated place, apply a coat of white paint to the stick and leave to dry.

Step 4 Tie a loop of twine around one end of the stick and secure with a knot.

Wrap it around several times if you wish. Repeat at the other end of the stick, leaving some slack in the middle.

Step 5

Step 2 Once your first layer of paint is dry, repeat the process. If you would like some of the natural colour of the wood to show through, you can go on to step 3, otherwise repeat step 2 until you have built up an opaque colour (it should take about four coats).

Step 3 Once your stick has dried completely, thread the three bud vases along it.

GRAPEFRUIT & TANGELO MARMALADE WITH A FOCUS ON SEASONAL PRODUCE AND GOING BACK TO BASICS, REBECCA SULLIVAN OF DIRTY GIRL KITCHEN IS LEADING A RESURGENCE IN THE GRANNY STYLE OF COOKING. “SIMPLE THINGS DONE WELL ARE THE BEST,” SAYS REBECCA.

As an exclusive DIY for Attitude, Rebecca made a batch of grapefruit and tangelo marmalade that’s best eaten slathered on toast, with fresh scones or atop ice cream. For research’s sake, we think it best to try them all.

GRAPEFRUIT & TANGELO MARMALADE

Step 3 Put the fruit, juice and rind in a large, wide-based saucepan and add the water.

Bring to the boil then simmer fast until the rind is tender, about 15 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, add the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring back to the boil and cook for about 50 minutes or until set.

To test if it’s set take the saucer out of the freezer and drop half a teaspoon of the marmalade onto it and leave for a minute. It’s set if it crinkles (has a skin on top) when you push your finger through the middle.

Step 4 Pour into sterilised jars and give as gifts or be selfish and devour on toast with butter!

DIRTYGIRLKITCHEN.COM

TIP: Using scissors can make the strips more precise.

Makes approximately 4-6 small jars You’ll Need: • 3 large (1kg) grapefruits, washed and dried • 1 large or two small tangelos, washed and dried • 6 cups water • 1kg caster sugar Step 1 Place a saucer in the freezer for your setting test later.

Step 2 Quarter the grapefruits and discard the knobbly insides. Using a sharp knife carefully remove the pith and discard.

Set aside the fruit and juice. Slice the grapefruit rind into strips and set aside.

Slice the tangelos in half and segment the fruit. Remove any pith and slice the tangelo rind into strips.

nterior Architect and Stylist, Gabrielle, her husband Jarrod, a radio host, and their adorable pooch Kimba the white lion invited us into their portside character home.

Their home, which they purchased a couple of years ago, is impeccably styled, unsurprising considering Gabrielle’s styling background.

There is so much personality and character in their home, from the colourful artwork and beautiful heirlooms, to Jarrod’s amazing cap collection and the incredible original wood stove in kitchen.

Throughout their house it is evident that Gabrielle and Jarrod have managed to marry their tastes beautifully into a home that equally reflects them both.

How do you unwind? I go for walks by the bay or snuggle up in bed with a good book or my newest TV show obsession. Lately I’ve been chewing through Girls.

Favourite album to listen to while working? I actually don’t listen to much music while I paint. Oddly I find it too distracting as I’m very musical and love to sing. Instead I watch a movie, which tends to seep into the piece I’m working on. My favourite ‘watch while I paint’ film is Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock, closely followed by Dodgeball.

Favourite place to eat in Adelaide?

My staple Japanese diet frequently calls me to the Gouger st Sushi Train or Matsuri. Also the amazing Annex Cafe in Glenelg for an almond milk chai and delicious veggie burger.
