I feel like typically, vintage band and hip-hop merch is done way better than that of quote-on-quote electronic music so it’s sweet to see you looking to elevate. It’s going to be a very minimalist and quality-focused approach. In the NIGHTDAY collection, I’m focused on making sure quality isn’t forgotten and I’m not going to be trying to make a bunch of logo-facing hoodies and tees. For me, silhouettes, cuts, and fabrics are very important. We have a lot of reflective and grey pieces, things that you might find in the Matrix and Blade that fits the aesthetic of electronic music also. I’m very inspired by Rick Owens stuff, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Amiri, and Yohji Yamamoto. I’m into functional futuristic things so obviously leather and neoprene and good quality silhouettes. How would you describe your current aesthetic and what can people expect from your NIGHTDAY collection? You’re often known for your all-black fits. It kind of turned into 8,9, 10 days so it’s been cool seeing them take their approach into these rooms.
We stayed in touch and earlier this year they had plans to do a world tour and asked if I could do a couple of days with them. I think a year and a half ago, me, Steve, and Sebastian were in the studio making a record. Right now I’m on tour with Swedish House Mafia so they’ve been big OG’s in the game for me and I think getting back into these arenas gives me a little extra perspective on how big the sounds are. How does it feel being back on stage again? I just ran with live and fans liked it so I’ve been doing a bit of that at some of the shows to kind of show love to the fans. I had a lot of music and I started playing snippets of it at this one photoshoot earlier in the year with some models. It was more of a spontaneous gift for the fans because I want to have it come out without any expectation, try some different sounds, and do tapes the way a lot of people used to do it. Right now I’ve been taking a very mixtape approach with everything as I’m working on the next project. 1 and for setting up musical chairs at your concerts?
What was the inspiration behind Musical Chairs Mixtape Vol. To be a bit more in the club and also in streetwear. I’ve been doing some cassette mixtapes lately, and I’ve been into fashion for a minute, so we’ve been playing around with a lot of tie-dye techniques in merch to try to elevate a bit for rave-inspired pieces. There’s going to be a variety of fabrics we’re doing the dye on including waffle, cage-knit, button-down shirts, and it’s kind of in a different colorway than I’ve dabbled in before. For our upcoming merch, we’re doing everything piece by piece.
