Last Saturday I DJed the launch party for the Estate LA/Rogue Status pop-up store at Family Affair and man, there were some BEAUTIFUL hats in the spot, along with 2 (a dope snowboard photography exhibit of the photography of Ian Ruther & Cole Barash), a bunch of crazy bikes, a lot of Denver’s fashion heads, free copies of Snowboard Mag and all the usual fresh gear you see at the shop.
Anyways, here are some pics from the opening, check out more at FamilyXAffair.com (that’s the homey Ant from Family Affair playin’ a few songs after a few drinks in the pic on there, I’m in the mirror, laughing my ass off) & if you’re in Denver make sure you come by the Estate LA Pop-Up store before it’s gone forever on New Year’s Eve.
DJ Toomp made it out to Barcelona for a RBMA lecture a little while back to talk about “Toomp drums”, getting his start DJing at a skating rink, feeling like a psychologist when he works with rappers, pop lockin with Sleepy Brown in middle school, making one of the first ATL rap records, linking up with Kanye before his rap debut & all sorts of other iddish in a two hour plus interview, check it out over at RedBullMusicAcademy.com, it’s crazy.
Back on the fourth, Che Grand (of Fixtape fame) made the trek to D.C. to take in the historic night and premier some new songs off of his possibly soon to be released debut album, Everything’s Good Ugly, on Funkadelic Freestyles radio show. He played some JAMS in between talkin shit and adding his random thoughts on the election, check it out.
SATURDAY, 11/15 from 8-midnight -> We’re setting off the Estate LA Pop-Up Store at Family Affair with a launch party featuring some BEAUTIFUL exclusive fitteds, a CRAZY snowboard photography opening from Ian Ruther & Cole Barash and great music by none other than me, myself & I aka DJ Low Key. Hypebeast has a couple of sneak peaks at some more of the fitteds, High Snobriety has some others & EXPN seems pretty hyped, check out their article below and whatever you do, don’t miss it. No cover / 1527 19th Street / Downtown Denver.
From EXPN.com -> The new king of fitted hats, with that street-smart swagger like no one on the corner, Estate LA is making moves with a first time pop-up store in Denver at Family Affair. (Pop Ups are super limited—out-of-nowhere—retail spots that are only open for a like second. Gonzo today … dunzo tomorrow. The concept is all the hype.) Off the top of my head: this is a damn fine idea for this cool kids company.
Estate will be throwing a big launch party November 15, 2008 with tons of gear that will exclusively be available at the Denver shop, including several special collab pieces and colorways. The store will be open from November 15th-December 31st.
Also of noted interest:”2″ the traveling snowboard photography exhibit featuring the work of Cole Barash and Ian Ruther will be up on display for artful appreciation.

Bun B is unquestionably the man. Dude helped lay the foundation for the rise of south during the early 90s, raps so trill with his own unique swag & has worked with some of the most respected names in music, from Outkast to Lupe Fiasco to MIA to Scarface to Jigga. This is easily the deepest interview I’ve seen with him, he breaks down the rise of UGK, his musical influences & everything else you’d wanna know at the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona, check it out at RedBullMusicAcademy.com.
