You may know him from my piece in association with G-Shock, watch that thing HERE. Over the last few years Phillip T Annand, has created a remarkable following. With truly humble beginnings as a frequenter of Hypebeast’s forums, his story is a true representation of organic growth and cautious development. Currently in college, the well-spoken Annand has articulated very clearly his thoughts in both text and writing, through visuals and photoshoot's and finally with his first tangible representation, the brand The Award Tour. Read Hypebeast's piece on him HERE.

East Sessions x Secret Wars


On Friday G-Shock and Secret Wars will bring their unrivalled street art battle to G-Shock East on Dray Walk, in a British showdown to mark the end of a successful year of European competition. Secret Wars Euro League stalwarts London will take on finalists and age old rivals Birmingham, in a match that is set to ignite London’s East End. Taking place in the darkest corners of each city, the Secret Wars art battles were originally set up and promoted through word of mouth alone, with those in the know spreading the word to artists and art fans. This year, 16 European teams, including London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Barcelona, came together to create the Secret Wars Euro League. Fierce battles were seen across the continent with Amsterdam and Birmingham slaying all in their wake and now preparing to take on one another in the contest to end all contests on 15 January 2011, at The Village Underground, Shoreditch, East London.

The night will be hosted in true East Sessions style by Shadez the Misfit and will see performances from DJ MistaJam, Loick Essien, Talay Riley, Scorcher, Mighty Moe, Rian Peters, Messy and DJ Snips.

The Streets


Despite the initial announcement that Computers And Blues – due sometime early 2011 – would be the final album by The Streets, Mike Skinner just notified the world that there will be another LP titled Cyberspace And Reds which will appear before the release of Computers And Blues. The artist told that the opus will be “painfully repetitive.” The previously released “Too Numb” is said to be featured on it while the newly emerged “Going Through Hell” makes the final cut of the allegedly “dark and futuristic” Computers And Blues. Listen HERE.
