OK, so its been a long time since the last update at Kartel, but that certainly doesn’t mean we’ve been slacking off. 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.
We’re a little bit late on this but if you’re in the Manchester area tonight then you should definaltly mosey on over to the opening event at the brand new Carhartt store on Oldham Street.
Running along side the store launch there will be an exhibition of work by one of the UK’s best illustrative talents Guy McKinley, titled ‘Black Rust’ and in addition to this there will also be music and live PAs from Broke ‘n’ English and Trus’ Me…and as always ‘Free Beer & Geer’, details after the jump.
But wait that’s not all….
Don’t forget ladies and gents tomorrow sees the launch of the first Jam Factory x Crazy Label vinyl toy, ‘Droplet’. The show is taking place at Birmingham’s Go Go Plastic toy store and will feature not only the product launch but also a selection of customs from the likes of Mr Jago, 45RPM, China Mike, Richt, Klingatron and Doktor A..
As always there’ll be free drinks and treats laid on and the work, we have no doubt, will be nothing short of awesome. Check the flyer and details after the jump.
