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.

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)
Freeload: Cuizinier, “Quand Tu Maimes”
- story THE FADER
Remember when Cam’ron used to make music? Remember when you used to wonder what Juelz’s socks looked like? And what face cream Hell Rell preferred? Jim Jones did a guest column in The FADER. Those were known as the “salad days” around here. Here being this planet. What happened? Who knows? The falling dollar probably. Heatmakerz Surplus x Spending Capacity = Swag Recession. In the meantime, our favorite French ambassador Cuizinier has the final installment of Pour les Filles coming May 12th, and this is the newest song from it, produced by Orgasmic. And guess what? It sounds like vintage Dipset. And it translates to “When You Love Me”. Well Europe loves New York right now. So things have shifted across the Atlantic momentarily. Big fucking deal. We still have purple currency.

FADER 50: The New Club + Mad Decent Mix
- story THE FADER
Very few people outside of actual FADER staff have contributed as much, literally and figuratively, to our magazine and website as Philly-Floridian producer/impresario/globetrotter/DJ/good dude Diplo. From helping birth Hollertronix to penning stories for us to continually championing serious jams, he has given us a lot to listen to and think about. So, it made sense, when we decided to reprint our “New Club” feature from the FADER 50 Special Issue which largely revolves around him, that we’d ask Diplo to make a mix to accompany it. The mix we got, made with Mad Decent cohort Paul Devro is, unsurprisingly, not so much about what’s already happened but what is going to happen next, and it is totally nuts. Make the jump for Nick Barat’s feature “Last Night a Remix Saved My Life” from F50, and download the Mad Decent FADER Mix below.
