After worldwide qualification battles, the top 18 international DJ champions had to battle for the title of ‘world’s best party rocker DJ’ at the Red Bull Thre3style World Final 2011 here in Vancouver. Big shout out to our homie DJ Hedspin for taking the World Championship title the other weekend. Check the highlight video below, and stay on the look out for him coming to a city near you in the future.
To coincide with the Redbull 3 Style World Finals tomorrow night in Vancouver, we have been running a banner, from his 3 Style win in 2008, of regional and national champ Dj Hedspin at our Gastown location. Make sure to get to the Commodore early tomorrow night as this party will surely be jam packed! Bring a Canadian Flag to support the hometown hero!
To coincide with Staple and Reed Space design coming to the shelves at Livestock, specifically the new Stapleton Reed Space X Penfield Jacket, we wanted to shed some light on the man behind it all. Founded in 1997 and based in the Lower East Side of New York City is the Design studio – Staple Design, the brain child of Jeff Staple. Check this great video put together by Canadian creative collective Eighteen Eighty, covering the founding of the brand, their design philosophies, and inspiration behind it all.
