ASOS DENIM: Up For The Challenge (Sponsored Video)

When ASOS meets denim, prepare to expect the unexpected. To promote their new ASOS Menswear Denim range (which has over 600 styles) they wanted to do something a little different.

In a week where the news has been dominated by the death of a certain ex-PM and the repercussions of her time in power, it’s nice to step away from the blaring headlines and social media squabbles and remind ourselves that actually there is such a thing as society.

Watch the Kazimier’s brilliantly crazy ‘The Kronos Begins’ short movie

We love the Kazimier. The shadowy gang who run it and promote nights there, a collective of like-minded creatives and musicians and adventurers, consistently put on events that are boundary-pushing, thoughtful and fun as hell. Now, not content with running one of the best venues in the city, they’re branching out into moving image. They’ve [...]

Radar: Play Wednesdays at the Baltic

There’s another reason to beat a path Balticwards this week, as Play Wednesdays gears up to give our twitching thumbs the workout they crave, and our love of old-school analogue games a new lease of life.

Radar: Bestival at Nation

There was shock and sadness last year when news of a bus crash, revellers on their way back from Bestival, killed three Merseyside men and injured fifty more. The festival, devastated at what happened, promised to do a fundraising event in honour of the victims and survivors. And they’ve come good – this month, they [...]

For Threshold Festival 2013, MelloMello have teamed up with kindred Manchester spirits Debt Records to take over The Picket on Saturday 9th March.

Yaw Owusu, Curator: Liverpool International Festival of Music

You want to get something done? Ask a busy person. We announced yesterday that Yaw Owusu will be the new International Festival of Music’s debut curator.
