Great start to the new year - Mr.Scruff was wearing Electronic Poet's Tweak tee at 'Days Like This' Festival in Sydney!

Happy New Year to one and all! I did a little globe trotting over the festive period and found myself in Sydney for NYE (fantastic city, it's a shame it's so far away), we did the mandatory fireworks at the harbour bridge and then at 2am we went to see our good friends Simon Baker and Matt Radioslave who were DJ'ing on a 350 capacity boat that sailed around the harbour as the first sunrise came up on 2009. Si and Matt rocked it, gotta say it was a fantastic way to bring in the new year, if you're ever in Sydney go check out the Spiced parties run by Murat - The best parties in town!

 

Then on the 4th of Jan we went to a cool little festival in Sydney called 'Days Like This', i was enjoying the sunshine and Fat Freddy's Drop when Sarah our tea lady spotted someone next to us wearing a Tweak tee from this AW's collection, i turned around and recognised it was the legendary MR.SCRUFF, I had a quick chat with him and it turns out his mate bought him it for Christmas! As you are reading this you will hopefully know what Electronic Poet means and to us, Mr.Scruff epitomises the term and ethos behind our brand as he creates beautiful music and graphics through electronic means. Mr.Scruff.....We salute you! And if you don't know what i mean, go check his site - www.mrscuff.com

Who is Bill Posters?

Whilst walking round the beautiful areas of Darlinghurst, Surry Hills and Paddington in Sydney we noticed that a guy called Bill Posters must be in some serious trouble, the name rings a bell i'm not sure if he's from the UK, does anyone know who he is?

Electronic Poet open our own store, it's called Paper Scissor Stone.

Check a couple of the photos below of our store we opened over the weekend.

The wonderful trio from Northern Ireland have been touted as the next big dance music act. With comparisons to the likes of Orbital, Underworld and the Chemicals these guys are held in high esteem. We love 'em as they are big fans of Electronic Poet and they have been sporting our kit at all their gigs recently........
