Summer Camp is a British duo with a clear affinity for American movies from the 80s. The eponymous track from their new album, Welcome To Condale, even goes so far as to sample a character from a John Hughes movie. The music would also slot in perfectly to any 80s film. It’s perfect synth-pop.
I am super excited to show you the trailer of the first edition of our new HUGO BOSS TALK Online TV Series:

Polographia is a group from Sydney, Australia, but beyond that we can’t find much biographical information about them. What’s really important, though, is not how many people are in the band – or if they’d even describe themselves as a band at all – but how good the music is. And it is VERY good. A healthy dose of indie hip-hop stylings come together with that whole chillwave thing to create a sound that can simultaneously make you bob your head and completely space out. Luckily we were able to work out a free download of their new track, “Righteous Hit.” Jump on it fast.
Keep warm and look trendy in a cable knit dress this fall! I love this grey one from the HUGO Fall/Winter Collection, which is now in stores. Team it with opaque tights and accessories in brown or black, red lips and a smokey eye make-up!

Noah And The Whale are an English neo-folk band whose name is inspired by the film The Squid and the Whale. Yuksek is a French electronic music producer from the Kitsune crew. Together, they’ve made an anthem for the end of the night. Yuksek’s version of “Life Is Life” is a 100% feel good track.

Data MC is a Berlin-based group making a blend of contemporary hip-hop and dance music. We’ve featured them here on HUGO Tracks a couple times before. This remix by Bullmeister, though, has turned the Data MC sound on its head. The original track is a clomping, low-tempo story about a girl. Bullmeister has stripped out the vocals and frothed it into a chugging deep house track. Completely different but still wonderful.

LBD usually stands for “Little Black Dress”, but why not replace “black” with “blue” for a change? This midnight blue HUGO dress is such a classic piece. It’ll work from nine-to-five as well as for after-work cocktails.

RKC began as a solo side-project for Babyshambles’ songwriter Adam Ficek. After leaving Babyshambles and Pete Doherty behind, though, he was able to fully focus on the project, which should come as wonderful news for any lover of music: RKC blows Babyshambles away. This new song, “Kittens Become Cats,” is nearly flawless – slinky, programmed drums and raw but sparse guitars are hinged around pitter-pattering vocals. And that’s just the verse. The chorus is indescribable. We’re in love with RKC. Grab a free download while it lasts and enjoy the video below.

This season is all about contrasts. Here are my two favorites from the HUGO Fall/Winter Collection: A white shirt with black sleeves from the HUGO Menswear section and for the ladies a silk blouse with two contrasting patch chest pockets.

Zimmer is a producer that grew up between France and California, and his music is a perfect combination of both places’ spirits: one half Parisian class and the other California sunshine. On “Slave To Your Heart”, Zimmer’s teamed up with an excellent vocalist named Jeremy Glenn, who adds an Azari & III feeling to the mix.
