Brain Dead launch Record Label

 

 Last week, creative collective Brain Dead announced the launch of its new record label, as brand owners Kyle NG and Ed Davis look to develop the brand further than it's more widely known clothing line and invest more in to the culture that surrounds it.

Although their impactful clothing line has been leading the hype amongst the brands cult following, Brain Dead has always been way more than just that, working on projects such as art exhibitions, special edition zines, home goods and toys, while their is also talk of comic books and films coming up next. Their latest venture sees the collective introduce it's own record label and with it a concise capsule collection, teaming up with their newest musical recruits including Gaslamp Killer, Michael Kopelman, Pubesky, Gaul Plus and Khun Narin to curate mixes which are presented in tape form and are also available to listen to online. The tapes are accompanied by a small range of apparel including graphic tees, branded hats and pins to promote the launch of the new project. 

 Hypebeast recently sat down with the brands founders Kyle and Ed to find out a bit more on their latest venture. You can read the full interview HERE.

 You can also stay up to date with the latest from Brain Dead Records over on their soundcloud and shop the collection over on their website and at Goodhood now.

Common Dust Summer 2014 Capsule Collection

 

Thanks to reverse seasons in Australia, our friends down under are gearing up for the heat of the summer and Common Dust follow up their inaugural collection with a fresh batch of goods for the season.

Entitled ‘Collection 1.1′, their latest offering follows on from their previous release, revisiting nostalgic themes from the 80’s and 90’s that has inspired the brand. They continue to apply their signature cut and paste style, derived from the DIY punk zines, to a selection of street ready staples, as well as new additions in the branded caps and tote bags. The popular  ‘Psycho’ and ‘Chains’ prints feature in new colour treatments, while the rest of the collection sticks to a minimal black, white and grey palette.

The brand once again gets creative with their visuals, aligning with the gritty themes of the collection. Using a range of techniques in a cut and paste style, they have produced a raw set of images to showcase the release.

The Common Dust ‘Collection 1.1′ is available now www.common-dust.com
