Whenever I have some free time on my hands I head down to our showrooms to check out the newest pieces. The other day I peeked into the HUGO Menswear Showroom where the current HUGO Summer 2013 collection is on display. I fell in love with the straw trilby and the red bootlaces. Guess I’m all about details this season. And you?
New week, new music everybody! And this is quite a filet mignon of music we’re serving right here: Coma is the production-alias of Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad, who like to release quality records via Cologne’s powerhouse Kompakt. Their sophomore release is entitled “In Technicolor” and contains, besides stupendous original versions, also a fantastic remix by Brighton’s Dauwd, who turns “My Orbit” into the perfect soundtrack for one of those summer nights we’re currently yearning for. Play the track right here to get into that midsummer mindstate and hopefully the weather’s gonna do its deed…
Mighty Mouse and Van She are both established producers who have a number of fantastic releases under their respective belts. 2010 they met at a mutual gig at Social Club in Paris. Good for them, you think? Good for you, we say! After this encounter they formed the super group Du Tonc and their first single is entitled “Darkness” and it’s just what the debut of a super group should sound like in our book. These two are definitely an act to watch for 2013, so check out the phenomenal video of “Darkness” and grab one of the free downloads right here!

Robotalco is one of those myths in modern day music: We don’t know the person behind it – all we can guess is that someone is from Italy and really knows their stuff. Check out the track “X Lines” right here and make sure to watch the video as well, as both deliver just that balearic summer vibe that we’ve been yearning for so long. Spectacular!

Sounds refreshing? You bet! The colors of the two citrus fruits are perfect for summer – wear them with a tan and a cheerful attitude because that’s the way they work best. The fabulous pieces on the hangers are from the current HUGO Summer 2013 collection and now available in stores and online.
Detroit synth music at it’s best! It seems rather reasonable, that the type of music that made the soundtrack of the movie “Drive” so successful was also done rather properly in that very motor city in Michigan. Android Automatic is a Detroit-based synth music act and one can’t help but to phantasize about burning some rubber in a Chevrolet whilst listening to his productions. So, unsurprisingly, the song that we’re presenting right here is also named after a car model. So adjust your seat and start your journey!
When I spotted these state-of-the-art black and white wedges in our HUGO showroom I felt more like admiring a piece of art than a pair of shoes. I think it is amazing how accessories – and especially shoes – have become small artworks over the past few years. This fact is also a superb reason for women to keep investing in shoes. Got my point, ladies?!
Alessandro Russo aka SLOK is an Italian house music enthusiast based in Paris. After having released some great tracks on numerous labels he now chooses to return to the underground approach of the music business by releasing on his own imprint Electronic Petz. And his first EP on there is quite the charmer! This puppy was conceived, composed, mixed and mastered by the man himself and you can feel the love and dedication in every bassdrum. Make sure to check out the magnificient “The Underground” right here and if you’re in Paris, try to stop by at one of his club nights. We sure would!
Sunless ’97 are a three-piece band from Mexico and the UK. Luke Solomon is a legendary house producer, DJ and label owner from London. Sunless ’97 has a new single coming out called “Aurora II” and Mr. Solomon provides a solid remix. Sounds reasonable? We think so, too! Since we consider the resulting track to be rather phenomal, we provide you with a free download right here! So better be quick, (s)unless you want to miss out!
When it comes to denim there are two major trends this season. First, this summer is all about colors - from pastel to vibrant. The denim color palette has never been so versatile. Secondly, it’s time to show your ankles! Denims are rolled up just high enough to show off the ankle. If you are tall, wear it with ballerinas or Espadrilles. Everyone else should go for wedges or high-heeled sandals. To a colorful summer!
