Multi-talented Alex Olson is not only a star skateboarder and creator of the hip clothing brand Bianca Chandon, he also moonlights stunningly well as a DJ and producer. He proved it with the release of the “Best Of Friends” EP, which he made together with LA DJ Paul Takahashi and Italian pianist Alberto Bof. Within the EP, “Best Of Friends” and “Wine Cooler” stand out, two solid piano-based jams mixing Acid and Disco House influences.
This might actually be the best fashion incursion into House music since House Couture by Jean Paul Gaultier 💄

Floyd Lavine – My African Acid – 2019
Mixing African beats and Electronic music has been quite the winning combination in the past few years. One artist doing that particularly well is South African producer Floyd Lavine, who is bringing some new vibes to the Techno-oriented city of Berlin. The Afro Deep compilation where he was featured was made for Beating Heart, a very cool project inviting artists to remix songs from the world’s largest single collection of vintage African recordings. In this particular compilation, it was songs from 1950’s Uganda that have been re-worked.
