Slave started as a far-flung idea, a should we, would we, could we, and soon became a lets do this, so after a lot of hard work we launched our first issue one a year ago. Our concept was to help creatives like ourselves have a good platform to be published in internationally, along with up and coming talent and established artists from different fields in the creative industry. Each issue grows bigger and better- we discover new talent and we are continually amazed with the sheer amount of creativity out there, but we would not be able to bring you Slave if it was not for you our talented contributors and our ever growing readers and followers. So in this, our first birthday issue, we want to thank you for your ever continued support.

With love, Slave Magazine Editors


Paris man's fashion week words by jess wu

The phrase “Paris Fashion Week”, in the case of menswear, no doubt evokes images of expertly cut suits, impeccably dressed men and all the press that goes with big names like Lanvin, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton. It’s not all a conveyor belt of men in suits both on and off the catwalk (like Milan) however, as the city is also host to some of the best and most well respected alternative designers in fashion circles, such as Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Comme des Garçons.There also exists some designers who push menswear design to the extreme, and create garments which can compete with womenswear for sheer creativity and range, with varying degrees of success and wearability. Here is my edit of the most ‘interesting’ designers this mens week.


Walter van Beirendonck



Viktor & Rolf Monsieur

No stranger to dissecting wardrobe staples and reinventing them so that they become almost unrecognisable or even disappear altogether, V&R’s latest offering is no less experimental than usual. Obviously anticipating a cold winter, the designers were keen to send models down the runway in layers of chunky jacket inside chunky coat – or perhaps there were just too many runway looks and not enough models. Either way, some of the models looked fit to burst through the seams with the hulk-style silhouette. All this bulk appeared over a lot of leather accents (which gives more weight to the cold winter idea), which were also paired with super-luxe tuxedos for an interesting top and bottom contrast/mismatch. Although keen to see whether the outerwear on outerwear trend could be reinterpreted in a more practical way, I’m not sure how many will also be adding leather dungarees and fur coats into the mix.


Walter van Beirendonck

At first glance, it would be easy to dismiss WvB’s collections as colourful, unwearable and even amusing. But with a collection title like “Lust Never Sleeps”, written in red on a large poster/invitation, you know the ever present but sometimes elusive subtext will make an appearance. Perhaps subtext is too subtle a word, as models wore black, leather gimp masks and colourful tribal ones, with some pinkish hues suspiciously like Caucasian skin against the black models’ faces. Others only had pink hues around the eyes and mouth but black everywhere else. Whether these combinations are intentional, the effect is certainly striking. Provided you can tear yourself away from the provocative choice of facial accessories, the clothes tell a very different story. A large circle around the chest area or the front of the outfit made from a different material/ pattern sits like a target and the childish colours made the ensemble almost clown-like (gimp mask wearing clowns – where else but in fashion? Except maybe niche horror films). Whether you are a fan of the designer’s aesthetic, his clothes will always warrant discussion, and it would be hard to dismiss him as just an exhibitionist.




Thom Browne

We’ve already seen the likes of exaggerated shoulders and bright colours from the designers above, but Thom Browne’s new collection fuses them together – along with other concepts – regardless of their compatibility. The models are styled with jet black mohawks and heavy black eye make-up, so that the audience is certain of the goth/punk references. From the head down, a mishmash of studs on black leather, large American football style shoulders and preppy jumpers are thrown together as if this was the aftermaths of an all-out war between the two biggest American high school clichés of all time – jocks and goths. Underneath the layers of overblown proportions and some models in a two piece skirt suit, was there something real and serious to take from it all? You could suggest that he is experimenting with proportions, or making a statement about youth culture (albeit doing it in the most obvious and banal way possible), but from a collection that is such a visual assault, the underlying themes seem limp and lacklustre.


Jean Paul Gaultier

It wasn’t particularly difficult to decipher JPG’s theme, and there may have even been a suggestion that he wants you to wear a fedora next winter (after 36 looks and about 34 hats, that’s probably a safe bet) and just in case you didn’t notice them during the show, the man himself and all the models threw theirs into the audience. While everyone was contemplating where to get their fedora-fix, their eyes were being directed to the always rich and dazzling nature of Gaultier’s garments. Parts of the jaunty soundtrack and 19th Century cut of some of the jackets screamed Sherlock Holmes (although, wrong hats), and a recurring brick pattern reminded me of Sherlock’s penchant for urban camouflage. All this was tied together with yet more layering and nods to other classic eras of tailoring, with smatterings of modern hoodies and baggy shearling tops. The beauty of this collection is the designer’s ability to show waistcoats and Victorian style collars next to a leather bomber jacket and beanie hats, without a lack of fluidity. Well, until the model in an actual khaki camouflage top with turquoise combats comes sauntering in, and the illusion is lost.Gaultier’s mysterious, urban, almost seedy underground London adventure was fun while it lasted, for the most part.

THE MAN WHO HAS IT ALL -an encounter with James Mullinger words BY KASIA MROCZKOWSKA photos by ania mroczkowska

It is a gloomy, rainy evening, a few days before Christmas; we are somewhere in Fulham and on our way to The Hurlingham Pub where we are supposed to meet him. Writer and Photographic Director for one of the most famous magazines in the world –GQ, host of TV’s Movie Kingdom and devoted family man; is one person able to do more than that? Well, I am not sure if you will be able to do more, but he definitely is; and once again he will prove it tonight. “Ladies and gentleman, please give a warm welcome to our first stand up comedian tonight, James Mullinger!”- exclaims a blond haired host. An hour before he actually says that, we finally manage to find The Hurlingham Pub which is slowly filling up with people- all of them waiting with excitement for a night full of laughter guaranteed by Hurlingham Comedy Night. Being a rather rare comedy clubs guest, I feel not as much excited as these people are, but at the same time I can’t wait to meet James Mullinger who is supposed to meet us for a chat and photo shoot at The Hurlingham Pub just before his stand up comedy gig. To be honest, I feel mentally prepared for the situation that he will be rather late and not have enough time to answer all my questions; after all, he is definitely a very busy guy. Just before I start painting different nightmare scenarios in my head; James arrives on the dot with a glowing smile on his face that shows no traces of fatigue. Radiating positive energy that is absolutely contagious, he says: “I’ve brought something for you” and gives us a lovely Christmas bag filled with presents such as GQ, James Mullinger, The Bad Boy of Feminism DVD, and so on. In addition, he reassures us that we have absolutely enough time for a chat and photo shoot; at this very moment it stops raining, we sit down, and the interview starts somewhere here…



When trying to describe the way you felt before your very first stand up comedy show in 2005, in one of your interviews you mentioned the feeling of enormous fear, what you exactly said was: “The only way I would have felt more nervous was if I was doing a gig while bungee jumping from Brooklyn Bridge”… That’s true [laughs] And if you were to describe the way you feel before your gigs nowadays, what would you say? It is a lot better now. The first gig is obviously petrifying. The idea of getting on stage and trying to make people laugh is terrifying…, it gives you butterflies in your stomach; and to be honest, it carries on like that for the first year or so. If you’ve got a gig booked in, you are worrying about it a week before, and essentially all that changes is the time, that you are nervous about it, shortens; but I still get nervous now. I think Jimmy Carr said that he stopped getting nervous after about ten years; now he gigs every night for thousands of people, and he no longer feels nervous. Now I only get nervous maybe ten minutes before I go on. But it is a kind of “positive stress” in the end, isn’t it? It is, because the few gigs that I haven’t been nervous before, haven’t gone well. The nervous energy is definitely a good thing, and tonight I will be nervous. It is a small gig, but the thing is that you want every gig to go well; it doesn’t matter whether it is for forty people or four thousand people...The nervous energy is definitely a good thing, especially because I work all day as well; and now we also do the TV show, so quite often I get up at 4.00 o’clock in the morning, film for 3 hours and then I go and do the day at GQ, and that’s a high pressure job anyway…, then I leave work, go home, give my son a bath, and then I come out and do a gig…, so I am quite tired by this time. And actually nervous energy is good, because it gives me the energy to get up there.




If your son said to you one day that his biggest dream would be to become a stand up comedian, what one piece of advice would you give him? Good question [smiles]. To be honest, the only piece of advice would be: “Go for it!”, because there is nothing worse that wishing you would do something and not doing it. I spent 5 years really desperately wanting to become a stand up comedian and not doing it; so my advice to my son would be to just do it as soon as it is possible. I wouldn’t scare him off; it is a brutal industry obviously, your whole mood is determined by how your last gig went…, but my sole advice would be: “Start doing it as soon as it is possible and just gig as much as it is possible…”. And that’s the only way to do it, that’s the only way to get good. And I think that the fascinating thing about stand up is that, unlike other industries, there is no one successful in stand up who: A. hasn’t worked to it, and B. is not good at it… If you think, in the city there are lots of bad CEOs who earn millions of pounds and bankers who earn millions of pounds, but who aren’t actually good at what they do, they are just lucky… There are also lots of terrible actors who are extremely successful … …like Keanu Reeves Like Keanu [smiles] I wanted to ask you about him as well; why have you once said that you consider him to be a bad actor? He is not a particularly good actor, there are lots of better actors than him; whereas in stand up there are no comedians who are really famous and rubbish. Obviously you may not like them; I don’t like certain comedians who do quite well at the moment…, but there is no doubt that they are amazing, because they go up on stage, where around twenty thousand people go to, and they make them all laugh, and all those people truly like them… You just can’t fake it… You can’t fake it. Whereas those bad politicians… look, how many bad politicians there are…There are politicians that everybody hates, who do a terrible job, who fail every day, but they still make loads of money, and they are still at the top of their profession; but there is no one who is making loads of money doing stand up and who is doing a shit gig every night.


Apart from comedies and comedians, what else makes you laugh? My son makes me laugh, and he laughs all the time…, what else makes me laugh? My cat makes me laugh and other people laughing make me laugh… I went to see a film with my wife last night called New Year’s Eve; it is not a very good film, but there was a woman behind us laughing at every single stupid thing that happened in the film, and then we both ended up laughing at that…you know, things like that make me laugh [giggles]. Have you watched any good films recently, by the way? I saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the American version, last week and that movie is a real masterpiece…, and Shame which comes out in January with Michael Fassbender; that is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, I couldn’t get it out of my head for days afterwards… Writer, journalist, photographic director, stand up comedian…, you have managed to master so many creative professions in your live… When I was a teenager I wrote in my diary: “What should I pursue? Should I pursue becoming a TV film critic? Should I pursue journalism? Should I pursue comedy?”And now I am in the position that I can do all of them, and I want to do all of them, and I want to do them well; but it is often a difficult balance to get right. If you were to set up some kind of hierarchy, what would come first? Family obviously always comes first. In terms of the other things; Movie Kingdom, GQ and stand up, they are all on a par, but ultimately GQ where I have been for 11 years, that has always been very good to me, that would always be my priority. Stand up is a passion, a serious hobby, but I always have to make sure that it doesn’t affect my day job, and these other things I’m doing… So if I were to choose, it would obviously be family first, then GQ… But ultimately it is my responsibility to work hard enough and excel at all of them that I don’t have to choose.

Nina Nesbitt may be a softly spoken, pretty young thing but her rise to the spotlight has been a tour de force. At just seventeen, she has already hit sell-out stages in arenas and festivals around the UK. With a mane of blonde hair under a cute bowler hat, it has been steely reserve and bona fide talent that have propelled her to recent success. A singer-songwriter since she was a little girl, she has been honing her talents throughout school, where she tried her hand at story-writing and gigged at school concerts, and this year, using You Tube as her platform, she has released the fruits of her labour into the world. The result is an acoustic sound that showcases a rich and beautiful lilting voice. Against a backdrop of pounding club anthems and TV show drop-outs, the demand for original talent in stripped-back form is as strong as ever. With her fiesty, catchy “Glue” and whimsical “Noserings and Shoestrings” currently on iTunes on her “Live Take” EP, its hard not to see this girl’s songs in a chart near you soon. Scouted as a model in her native Edinburgh, she’s clearly not just a pretty face; with image a must in pop, an interest in fashion essential, experience with camera lenses and visual production is a step ahead. Her You Tube videos are well edited with an organic, home-grown feel that matches her music and are performed with a naturalness beyond her years. It was with all this under her bowler hat that she found herself handed a guitar by Ed Sheeran when she met him after a gig. Telling him what she does, he shrewdly handed her the instrument and asked for a tune. Instead of the nerves of a starstruck groupie, she took the opportunity with the quiet resolve and sung with the enchanting voice that has since been witnessed on stages by thousands. She got the job she hardly knew she had auditioned for; inviting her not only to tour with himself, Sheeran also showed her off to friend-and-star Example, who offered her the same for his own string of gigs. Some found her the highlight of these dates, better than the headline themselves. Recently signed to BMG Chrysalis and with Live Take on current release, she is definitely one to watch in 2012. Slave caught up with her to find out what makes those strumming, scribbling fingers tick, get behind the cool exterior and unearth what she’ll be up to next.


You’ve performed next to, and indeed in front of, some big names already; as well as the tours, Rizzle Kicks, Pixie Lott and Jessie J were amongst those you gigged with at Future Hits Live. Tell us, what’s your secret? Do you ever feel intimidated or are you really that confident? I have indeed, I performed at 3 of Example’s tour dates in Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow just before Christmas and that was unbelievable! Earlier in the 2011 I had the opportunity to duet with Ed Sheeran at a very special London venue which was an amazing moment, as well as supporting him in Glasgow in the autumn there.I guess I take inspiration from all of these people instead of intimidation. I just see them all as ‘normal’ human beings who happen to have music as their job, and I feel at ease and comfortable around them. They are all really nice and supportive too and true professionals who I can learn a lot from. How does it feel, performing to massive crowds? I absolutely love performing and big crowds are pretty awesome! The SECC gig in Glasgow was a massive one in front of 10,000 people for ‘Clyde 1 Live’ which was amazing. I also had a recent gig in Edinburgh at the Liquid Room which was fantastic, as it was in my hometown with a lot of my friends as well as fans in the audience. Great night! There will be a lot more Scottish gigs coming up next year as well which I really look forward to as well as other ones around the UK... I like to play both small intimate gigs and massive arenas with thousands of people, they both give you a buzz in different ways as you interact with the audience. Some pop stars claim to have started performing in the womb; personally, when did your love of music start and when did you begin to take a music career seriously? I’ve been singing as long as I can remember, used to play Pop Idol with my friends when I was very young. I always had a great interest in English and started off writing short stories early on during my primary school days. When I was around 9 years old I learnt to play the piano and at that point begun to use my storywriting skills and make them into lyrics in songs. It wasn’t until I moved into High School that I felt I had the confidence to perform in front of an audience and did this at the age of 12 at a few small school events, I was really shy before then. I kept writing lots of songs quietly in my own time, but I knew I couldn’t really give my music career the attention it needed until I had sat my higher grades, which I did in May.

I posted some basic cover tracks on YouTube every now and then, but near the end of high school I began to look for opportunities to gig and see what kind of feedback I would get. I found that I loved performing live and it all just snowballed from there, really. Who or what inspires the beautiful songs you write? I have many inspirations that I draw on and they are all very diverse. In the early days I listened a lot to people like Joni Mitchell, Carol King and Eva Cassidy to name a few. I also take inspiration from Ellie Goulding, Ray Lamontagne, Bon Iver, Laura Marling. I like Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard’s music a lot. I also listen to Example as I’m inspired by his lyrical content in his songs and I like Nirvana. I like most music genres as they all have different things to offer. Things that inspire me to write songs can vary. Sometimes it is personal experiences or things friends are going through, other times it is simply observations of life’s little happenings as I go about my daily life. I see something that inspires me, I write a song about it. Even places can be an inspiration to songs. I once sat on the bus home and made a few observations that made me start scribbling down lyrics to a new song. Your songs online feature hardly any instrumental accompaniment. What is it about the acoustic sound you’ve developed that inspires or drives you? Yes, at his moment in time it is only me and my guitar and sometimes I play the piano. I love acoustic music and find that I can really put some ‘feeling’ into the songs by using just a guitar or piano. I do have some new tracks that will have a little bit more accompaniment, but I still like to keep my sound pretty real and organic and not too over produced. You are currently working a sweet vintage look we love. How important is your look to your work? Does it reflect your music at all? Haha, a sweet vintage look! I guess I do have a bit of a vintage look about me sometimes, as I like wearing clothes that are comfortable and pretty classic really. I also like a lot of cosy knits this time a year. I don’t spend hours thinking about what I’m going to wear to my work in music, it’s really just the type of clothes I wear all the time anyway – it’s just me I guess it does reflect my music in many ways, a bit of a quirky look at times. My little black hat has kind of become my trademark that people recognise me and my music by which is quite funny I guess.


You have covered other people’s songs and collaborated with a few big names so far. Is there a reason or advantage to this way of working and is it something you advocate in other artists? My collaborations opportunities have been brilliant fun and interesting, I would definitely recommend it to others. I feel you learn a lot from working with different people & sharing skills and experiences even if sometimes it’s more the process that is important than the end product. With half-Swedish ancestry, you grew up in Scotland. How important is it for you to be seen as a Scottish artist and how well do you think Scotland is currently contributing to music right now? Yes, my mum is from Sweden and I’ve spent a lot of time there during my childhood years on holiday’s. However I was born in Scotland and brought up here in Edinburgh. Scotland has a lot of fantastic artists to be very proud of. Personally I’m a big fan of Snow Patrol who came together as a band when at Uni in Dundee years ago. I also love Paolo Nutini & Emelie Sande both fantastic Scottish artists. A little birdy told us you have been down to London talking with big record labels and have some more fantastic collaborations in the pipeline. Any hints of what’s to come for Nina Nesbitt? London is an amazing place and I’ve been fortunate enough to get the chance to spend some time there writing & recording with a few pretty well known guys. I’m also delighted with my signing with BMG Chrysalis for my publishing deal. Yes, it’s fair to say there are plenty other discussions taking place at the moment also - very exciting times indeed. There is a lot more music coming your way and live tour dates around the country; to kick off 2012, I will be upporting Ed Sheeran at his Scottish venues in January. If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? I’d like to perform at Wembley one day, that would be awesome! Finally, what’s the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you? Do the music that makes you happy & never give up on your dreams!

“The drum loop represents the heartbeat. The bass represents the mind. So, you put the mind and the heart together, and your mind and your heart are the creation of everything. Dub is the foundation for the creation of music.” Lee Scratch Perry

wee dub festival www.weedubfestival.co.uk

Scotland’s first and only festival dedicated to dub and reggae music returns to Edinburgh for a Second Edition in February 2012, after a successful debut as a one-night event in 2011. The Wee Dub Festival 2012 is an independent, original and innovative project that aims to showcase a range of syles from the endlessly diverse dub/reggae musical spectrum. The festival will take place over a series of “Sessions” across several venues in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, in one blessed weekend. These sessions are comprised of live gigs, clubnights, workshops and film screenings.


Mad Professor


Wee Dub Festival 2012 will be headlined by legendary dub scientist Mad Professor and UK dub-reggae pioneers Zion Train. Alongside these heavyweight names, organizers have assembled a great cast of acts that represent the cream of Scottish talent alongside handpicked international acts. World-famous digital dub masters Mungo’s Hi-Fi come over from Glasgow to support Mad Professor, while Big Toes HiFi ship up their hi quality rig in from Leeds for the show. Rising star Radikal Guru (Poland) and MC Cian Finn (Ireland) take up the dubstep side of things and Riddim Tuffa Sound confirm their fast rising status with an 80’s dancehall set. Probably the UK’s top live dub/drum’n’bass band Dub Mafia (Bristol) make their Scottish debut after show-stopping performances this year at Outlook and Glastonbury among many others, with support from Scotland’s top reggae act Captain Slackship & The Mezzanine Allstars. From Manchester, the UK’s only Sufi/dub producer Celt Islam brings his live PA show, moulding sub-bass heaviness with Eastern and spiritual influences; jungle dub progressive Morphy and d’n’b old guard Jammin J support on this show. Ska music is not left out, with the explosive 8-piece Esperanza playing a rare Edinburgh show with DJ support from the Lucky 7 Club. Other acts completing the bill include upcoming Glasgow selectors Chungo Bungo,global-beat DJ Astroboy, showstopping Borocco Tribal Belly Dancers, local legend Robigan, with some acts still TBC. Workshops in various aspects of dub music production will be held at Out of The Blue drill hall, and notably Mad Professor will give his legendary Dub Clinic at The Bongo Club on the Sunday afternoon. Screen filmings will give a context and history of the music, and provide some respite from the relentless skanking!
