We’re probably years behind on these things, but fuck it, we love ‘em. Toy Watch Company’s Fluo and Crystal watch collections. Built from high strength polycarbonate plastics, TWC’s watches copy the style of iconic Rolex designs including the Submariner and all feature the classic Rolex designed Oyster Bracelet making them light, stylish and practical.

Any one who is a regular reader of culture and street wear blogs from across the pond, will know that stores on America’s East and West coast have got it pinned down when finding the balance between style and content, and even though there are a fair few retailers here in the UK with that get the content right, its a rare occasion to find a store looking as fresh as Glasgow’s Goodlife Store.

We are huge fans of Croydon lady rapper and producer Sarah-Louise “Goldielocks” Akwisombe here are Kartel and even more so after hearing her fresh from the lab cover of N*E*R*D track, ‘Provider’.

Available to download now on her MySpace page, www.myspace.com/goldielocksmusic, Goldielocks also features on the soundtrack for new brit flick Adulthood with her track ‘Kids’. Check them both now, guaranteed to brighten up any shitty British summer day.

A few weeks back we came across this, the Attigo TT touch screen DJ interface via the blog of our good friend Klingatron. Created by student Scott Hobbs the Attigo TT is essentially a touch screen display system that allows users to manipulate and mix MP3’s in the same way that a DJ mixes vinyls.

The Fly53 in assoc. with Vice Magazine tour is well and truly out of the way with things coming to end on 31st May at Birmingham’s Rainbow club. Although we never managed to make it to any of the dates ourselves reports are that all three dates were bangers, attracting droves of happy happy dancey people.

The Fly53 blog has posted a gallery of images from the nights so for those of you unlucky enough to miss out check them out at www.fly53.com/fly53_tour.

In fact we’ve been cooking up some lovely new updates to make Kartel nicer than ever, including a few design tweaks and some additional features that will hopefully keep you locked.

We’ll be getting these up and running in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes peeled and in the mean time get out and enjoy the British summer.

If you’re at a loose end this Saturday 17th May (and lets face it who isn’t) then you might want to rush down to Newcastle’s Digital nightclub to catch mix master DJ Yoda live and in full effect with his ‘Magic Cinema’ show. Featuring a piece of kit, the Pioneer SVM-1000, developed by Yoda and made available to only a hand full of DJ’s the world over, the show promises to be a audio-visual extravaganza featuring sound tracks and film clips galore.

According to statistics there’s a new blog created every second, but according to Kartel 99% of them are pish. Thats why when we come across a blog like Kingdom of Style it makes us feel all warm in side. Published by two girls about town, Kingdom of Style is a fashion and design blog for the ladies, covering everything from high street to high design with the odd bit of street style thrown in for good measure.

The ladies have kindly agreed to bring their expertise to the table and start a regular column for Kartel which is coming very soon, but in the mean time check out their blog at http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk.
