Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team, “Loud Whisper of the Northern Wind” Mix
- story Peter Macia
Let’s say you were up until 6am last night/this morning and right about now your will to live is at Defcon 5. You’ve had gallons of coffee, slapped yourself in the face a bunch and started seeing weird glowing dots everywhere you look. You should probably lay down and regroup for a while before trying to do anything, but then the Teki and Orgasmic come through with the newest mix for their ever-excellent dance label, Sound Pellegrino, packed with gooey bubbles of hyperactive jams. It shouldn’t change the fact that you’re so tired you want to puke, but these dudes got the power of Greyskull in their shit, or at least the power to squeeze that last drop of Lohan out of your exhausted ass. Check SPTT in Rennes, France, on November 14th and the whole Sound Pellegrino crew at The Egg in London on December 18th. Tracklist after the jump.

Teki Latex’s Phenomenon Capsule Line
We’ve written about Teki Latex’s impeccable style before, and apparently we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed his propensity for colorful prep and confident quirks. Japanese men’s label Phenomenon, whose most recent line consisted of Warriors-inspired street style with a touch of pagan apocalypse, has enlisted Teki to create a capsule collection based on his personal aesthetic. He graciously sent us an exclusive sneak peek at the lookbook full of crisp polos with dandyish elements like top hats and canes combined with Pac-Man-y pop art, a characteristic blend of playful and classic. But the piece that really turned us out was this crazy Cosby-invoking cardigan with all the pieces of the line combined in one pop: what appears to be a shark (dinosaur?) polar bear (thanks dudes!) in a top hat with a cane and a monocle. Touché, Teki, touché.
Teki Latex’s Big Man Swag
Lookbook.nu is the go-to spot for aspiring Sartorialist muses, where anyone can post daily photos of their style game. We’re pro-democracy, but frankly it’s a clusterfuck—who wants to see what everyone in the world is wearing every single day? One person’s page we never miss though is that of Teki Latex, lead lothario of French electro-rap crew TTC and sonic proprietor of Institubes and Sound Pellegrino. Armed with a mission to “be innovative in this world of Elves dressed like The Strokes,” Teki tends towards ATL-gone-sci-fi, blending Ralph Lauren, Nikes, golf caps and edgier, textured embellishments—the odd Sixpack scarf or knitted socks from Henrik Vibskov. Our current favorite is a look he titles “Major Blazer,” a combo of cardinal blue deck shoes and tailored Lauren blazer flossed with a black silk Roc Star square as a shawl. It’s not stuffy prep so much as “classy in the club,” perfect for transitioning from daytime on Harvard yard to a nighttime rave on a boat.

Sound Pellegrino Rainforest Frog Symphony Mixtape
- story Peter Macia
Based on the people involved—Teki and Orgasmic of TTC/Institubes—and the sleeve work that’s on some throwback Deutsche Grammophon shit, we basically had no choice but to put new label Sound Pellegrino on our watch list this year. Plus, they put out a record by Douster as their third release and we’re pretty much obsessed with that dude right now (see future issues). Below is the newest mix by the label’s founders under the moniker Thermal Team, which probably has something to do with coochie, if we know them like we think we do. It’s awesome. Tracklist after the jump.

Video: Cuizinier f. Teki Latex, “The Good Guys”
- story THE FADER
Fireplaces, Lost clips, Official Tourist hoodies and nekkid girls dipped in paint: it must be the holidays. Cuizinier and Teki Latex do their best to avoid all sense for this video from Cuizi’s Pour Les Filles, Vol. III. Fast forward to about 00:45s unless you’re a huge fan of Genevan Heathen talking shit to TTC’s rivals. (via Discobelle)
