A fair weather cyclist never rides when it is raining, always looks stylish but comfortable, prefers to take safe and picturesque routes and rarely travels without a picnic hamper and a bottle of wine. If that sounds like you but youre missing the wheels then a trip to Mrs Fairweathers Bicycle Emporium will have you joining the peloton in no time.

Designer and bike builder Nigel Venning might be the ultimate fair weather cyclist, but theres no holding back when it comes to rescuing and carefully restoring old rattlers into stylish rides.

The Emporium began after restoring a bike as a Christmas present, with wife Louise so impressed with the transformation she suggested he turn it into a more serious hobby.

Now under the suitably dapper pseudonym Millwright, Nigel lovingly restores and names bicycles, like Eve, the emerald step-through with whitewall tyres, and Percy, the speedy colt, with the help of Louise and friend Connie, who crafts the backstory to each creation.

Mrs Fairweathers can deliver a ready-to-go vintage bike, or straighten out your

Ahidden gem of a warehouse tucked away in the south east corner of Adelaide is the new home of furniture maker Justin Hermes of Justin Hermes Design, prop extraordinaire/stylist Tania Saxon of The Props Dept., floral designer Morgan Allender of The Tenth Meadow and two adorable shop terriers.

The front of the studio houses a showroom displaying Justins handcrafted furniture made from salvaged and reclaimed timber. Each piece of furniture is unique and the minimalist styling lets the beauty of the timber speak for itself. Justin Hermes Design studio is open 11am 4pm Thursday through Saturday, or by appointment.

In the rear is Tanias bountiful warehouse of carefully sourced vintage props available for hire for weddings, events, shop displays, film sets and editorials. Tania also provides prop sourcing and styling services. The Props Dept. is open by appointment only.

Also in the rear is Morgans floral design studio where she creates floral arrangements for weddings, special events and styling that, as she aptly describes,

evoke the rambling beauty of nature. The Tenth Meadow studio is currently open by appointment only, but excitingly, The Tenth Meadow is opening a retail boutique flower shop in the CBD in the very near future.

SALAD DAYS INC.

As the creation of four young Adelaide creatives, Salad Days Inc. has an all for one and one for all spirit.

The multi arts space opened late July with a tasting platter exhibition of Adelaide art including work from Jake Holmes, Joel Van Moore and Fruzsi Kenez.

Established by long-time friends Alyshia Mckinnon, Nicole Wenn, Nick Yap and Alex Dearman, Salad Days incorporates a vegan cafe, gallery, second-hand clothes boutique and music venue.

Based on a punk sensibility, it strives to embrace all art. I like the thought of everything being multi-sensory, nothings ever caught in one discipline, says Alyshia.

They join Adelaides growing ground-level arts scene alongside the likes of Tooth and Nail, Espionage, The Mill, FELTspace and Mad Mouse Alley.

To keep things fresh the space is continually changing with new exhibitions fortnightly and an ever evolving menu. We want to make a bit of a storm, says Alyshia.

The inner-city space is intimate with a hangout vibe, and thats the way they want it. You dont have to have this pristine, clean, high-class place, says Nicole.

I think its all about creating new experiences in Adelaide, says Alex. Its a great city and it has so much potential if we make the most of it.

JAGGER: 5 MINUTES WITH KIRSTY IRWINKIRSTY IRWIN IS THE CREATIVE MIND BEHIND A SUCCESSFUL EPONYMOUS LABEL AND EAGERLY AWAITED JAGGER THE LABEL, AS WELL AS A MUSICIAN, BLOGGER AND QUEEN OF EFFORTLESS STYLE.

WE TALK INSPIRATION, SPRING STAPLES AND JAGGER THE LABEL WITH THE ADELAIDE DESIGNER AND IN HER OWN WORDS, YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET!

What sets JAGGER apart? JAGGER covers all bases such as denim, leather, exclusive prints and staples every month.

What was the aesthetic you were aiming for with Space Odyssey? For Space Odyssey I wanted to do something a bit quirky and fun. I never got to play with prints for KIRSTY IRWIN so I really went crazy with it and ended up doing three prints for that collection.

Whats your favourite piece? Its so hard to choose! Every time I design a new collection, it always becomes the new favourite. Ive played around with some embossed leather for next year, which I am excited about.

Who is the JAGGER girl? The JAGGER girl is relaxed, confident and a little bit rebellious. She can throw on one of her boyfriends tees, leather pants, heels and look perfectly polished.

Where do you draw your inspiration from? My main source of inspiration comes from music when Im designing a collection Im really trying to set a mood or tell a story.

What are your must-haves for spring this year? Oh spring, how I long for you! Oversized t-shirts and leather shorts are a must.

What piece of advice would you give to aspiring creatives or designers? Never ever give up!

What can we expect from JAGGER in the future? I really want to close the gap between high-end fashion and easy-to-wear pieces. Ultimately you can expect everything you need to achieve that classic off-duty model style. JAGGER IS AVAILABLE

EXCLUSIVELY AT THEFSHN BNKR.JAGGERTHELABEL.COM

Celebrate spring with an arty accessory from Tiff Manuells new bespoke collection each piece gives you the chance to buy your very own rainbow. Director of Happy House, Manuells range brims with the same colour, creativity, and heart as your childhood fave but for adults. The Unley local (who loves Gorman and is inspired by everything pop culture) pays personal attention to every clutch, iPad pouch or fringed cuff, so they can be worn, used and loved by their new owners.

The debut range features handcrafted accessories in a range of versatile shapes

(the half moon is our pick) made from fabric painted with polka dots, bold stripes or joyous watercolours, then encased in hardy PVC. Manuell painstakingly adorns each piece, using techniques such as thread detailing and scalloped fabric to ensure your new purchase is a one-off treasure.

You can pick up Manuells vivacious designs from Bauhaus, or find her on Facebook and Etsy.

Favourite item in the store at the moment? The baby cacti and succulents in our hand painted pots. The whole process is enjoyable and no two are the same. We have become quite attached to them and its always hard saying goodbye to our favourites.

Where do you look for design inspiration? With our design and advertising backgrounds, we are constantly surrounded with inspiration in things, people, places and spaces. Not only that, but imagining the potential of the most simple everyday objects and we can also get a little too carried away on Pinterest and Instagram.

Favourite blog? Theres always something that catches our eye on The Design Files.

Favourite place to eat in Adelaide? Horner and Pratts breakfasts are the best way to start a full day of sourcing and creating on a Sunday morning.

How do you select your designers for Nosha? We are surrounded by some very talented people, so for our upcoming

launch at The Mill we have hand-picked work that has been created by some of our nearest and dearest, who we are constantly inspired by. We are always on the look out for more emerging local artists and designers, so please feel free to hit us up at [email protected]

Whats on your wishlist? Where do we begin!? Honestly too many things, a green house would be lovely, as would some more art by the amazing Fruszi Kenez.

Whats on the Nosha playlist? Jagwar Ma has kept us going through many late nights and were also looking forward to getting our hands on the new Cloud Control album.

From Adelaide to Sydney to Paris and back again Kara Town of AHD PAPER CO. speaks

to Attitude about art and the good life.

Whats the story behind the phrase 'A Happy Death'? Whilst we refer to ourselves as AHD PAPER CO. or AHD, the acronym does stand for A Happy Death, which is a novel by French existential novelist Albert Camus. When Chris and I first got together I noticed he had a number of A Happy Death paperbacks amongst his collection of books (for some reason, hed collected copies of the novel every time he came across one in his travels). Immediately the novels title resonated with me. Is that not what we are all working toward? Given the environmentally sound nature of our products and the joy derived from art and the act of giving, we decided that this was a wonderfully apt name for our stationery company. It was then we also adopted the catchcry a life well used brings a happy death.

Tell me a little bit about your background and training. What did you do before AHD? I have a degree in Visual Arts, major in Art Theory in History, minor in Printmaking. I also studied Fashion Design briefly. I worked solidly in fashion retail for a number of years. For the past six years, Ive been working in lighting consultation in Sydney, working with a number of interior designers and architects. Chris was a practicing artist when we first met, and continued to have exhibitions until about a year ago. He has studied at RMIT and National Art School. Chris has been a cook, a stationery buyer, and the manager of a bookstore.

You recently returned to Adelaide after a stint in Sydney. What prompted the move to Sydney? Chris is actually from Sydney. At the time we met, he was living in Adelaide;

we got engaged within two months and married six months later. Around six months after that, we decided to move back to Sydney. We both felt a fresh start would be wonderful for us as a newly married couple. Chris had moved around a lot previously (living in Sydney, Perth, Mexico, London, Adelaide), so he knew Sydney was the place he wanted to reside, and I was ready for a new challenge.

Why did you decide to move back to Adelaide? We lived in Sydney for around six years, with a short stint living in Paris. We had a lovely semi in the inner west of Sydney, and had lived there happily for the entire time. As the business started to grow in the last year and a half, we were outgrowing the home and the small studio we worked from at the front of the house. On a whim, we decided that we would try our luck in Adelaide. Within two weeks

A Happy Death


of deciding this we found, fell head-over-heels in love with and subsequently purchased our first home. Owning a home complete with studio and land, gives us the freedom to work on AHD more and work on our dream of building a lifestyle thats more self-sustainable.

How has the creative scene in Adelaide changed since youve been away? We both feel Adelaide has grown a great deal since we have been gone. We are incredibly impressed with the amount of companies and small businesses that have started up and thrived since we left. The food scene has boomed Im continually impressed with the eateries that are opening up (Ive compiled a list, and intend on ticking them off one by one). Our current favourite is Caf Troppo in Whitmore Square the food is superb, and its got a great little fit out too. In terms of galleries, SAMSTAG opened during our absence, such a

wonderful space and international visual arts scholarship. We are also big fans of Hugo Michell Gallery and the artists they represent. Our home is also close to the Port Adelaide precinct, and it has been fabulous to see, first hand, the work of Renew Adelaide. The Port is such a beautiful old industrial mecca which Ive been captivated with since I was a child, so to see smaller stores and boutiques moving into previously disused spaces makes us incredibly happy. It will be interesting to see how it evolves in the coming years.

Whats next for AHD? Within the next month we will travel to Melbourne for the boutique Life Instyle Trade show where we will launch our current collection, including Christmas cards. This means, upon return there will be long days of sitting in the studio folding, and packing card (every AHD card is lovingly packed by Town hands). On more

of a personal note, we also have one of our artists coming to stay with us, Will Lynes of LYNES & CO. Will is a special-effects sign writer who specialises in gilding (gold leaf) techniques, glass art and reverse hand painted signage. He has worked closely with interior designers like Sibella Court and has put his hand to many companies, eateries and businesses in Sydney such as The Grounds Of Alexandria, Bazmark, Mr. Wong, Louis Vuitton, The Society Inc. and QT Sydney. And his next (unofficial) project is to transform an empty brick wall in front of our studio into something rather special (in between catching up, and showing he and his partner around Adelaide, of course!). We also have dreams of opening a store here in Adelaide, and buying an apartment in Paris one thing we have realised with AHD, is that ideas can come into fruition with hard work and determination.

Kara Town shares her current obsessionsTHE INSPIRATION LISTP H O T O G R A P H E R : J O N AT H A N V D K

Its now: Parked at our friends workshop having some work done to prepare it for our honeymoon in October. But Mike first got it: When I returned to Australia in 2006 not knowing where I wanted to live, so I decided on a bus. The story behind our bus is... Largely unknown, but I found it from noticing a for sale poster on a pinup board at a shopping centre. The next day I drove up to Melton (a tiny town at the top of Yorke Peninsula), saw it, fell in love with it, and bought it. The best story I have with the bus is... My old housemates and friends took a trip to Eyre Peninsula a few years ago. We piled in and went to stay in Port Neill for a few weeks. The bus is different to every other bus because... It has an absolute top speed of 80km/hour.

The favourite thing about our bus is.... The stunning ocean views, and a fresh hot cup of tea while on a long haul. But we really hate it when... We have to keep our eyes glued to the temperature gauge in summer and give her a break every half hour. Our bus has let us down by... Being an inch too low inside to let Mike stand up completely straight. The furthest our bus has been is... to the Folk, Rhythm & Life festival in Victoria. But one day we hope to take it to... Tassie first, and then a multitude of festivals. Mike: Im a musician and plan to start touring with my groups, The Various Nefarious and Monsieur Swing.

The rules to driving our bus are.... 1. Take corners a little wider than you would in a car

2. Gear down for long descents 3. Smile and wave 4. Pick up hitchhikers. Road Trip mixtape: 1. Boban Markovic Balkan Fest 2. Titi Robin Katchur Kahn 3. Jelly Roll Morton Black Bottom Stomp 4.

MY CARP H O T O G R A P H E R : P H E B E R E N D U L I C

Its now Ed: 33 years old and in need of a bit of attention. Liam: 46 years old, but looking brand new. But when I first got it Ed: I was on my Ls, and had no idea about motorbikes. Liam: It was a rusty relic from the depths of Eds shed The story behind my motorbike is Ed: It was discovered in a bank vault in Snowtown... Well not really, but I did buy it from a lawnmower mechanic in Snowtown who was rather adept at fettling the lawnmower sized engine.Liam: After seeing Ed get around on his bike I talked to him about helping me find a similar one. He told me about the old S90 in his shed that needed a lot of work. My dad had the same one as his first bikein the 70s, so we struck a deal. We spent the better part of a year pulling it apart and putting it back together to look and run like a brand new motorcycle, but it's still a work in progress.

The best story I have with the motorbike is Ed: Well... Ive ridden in two Bay to Birdwoods... accidentally. I was riding up the hill to Birdwood amongst a procession of vintage 30s and 40s cars and bikes, looking like a knob with an 80s Japanese motorbike. Liam: I havent had it on the road for too long but some of my friends were pretty against the idea of me getting my motorcycle licence. This was after my 23rd birthday when I crashed a mates 50cc scooter directly into a brick wall. Ed fixed that one up too. My favourite thing about my motorbike is Ed: That it is easy to maintain, and will run on the smell of an oily rag. Liam:Its a classic but pretty unusual bike and you dont see much else like it on the road. Every other day some old bloke will come over and want to have a chat about it.

I really hate it when Ed: I take off too abruptly, and my girlfriend slides off the back seat. Liam: I have to kick it over 30 times to get it going on a cold morning. My motorbike has let me down by Ed: Running out of fuel in the rain. Liam: Dying in traffic twice on the way here today! There are rules to riding my motorbike Ed: Squeeze the brakes really hard otherwise you wont stop, and rev the engine at the lights to get the indicators to work. Liam: If you try and use the headlight and indicators at the same time dont expect either to work. If youre too hungover: walk.

BORIS THE CUTTERY

Damien Rinaldo hated the cold, generic environments of many hair salons so he set about creating a salon unlike any other. BORIS The Cuttery is all about the details; getting back to personal attention and expression with an artisan twist, with the results evoking an intimate and laid-back environment.

The salon combines sleek back-to-basics design with superb craftsmanship, with locally made oak mirrors, elegant marble bench tops and some tricky mirrors to make the most of the space. The dream team of Mash, Interior Pty Ltd, Samantha Agostino and Spud Client worked together on the innovative concept, creating an effortlessly tasteful salon, filled with personal touches that represent the Boris name.

From the geometric hand painted wall tiles (theres over 800 unique squares designed by Mash and made lovingly by Gerry Wedd) to the feature lights customised in NYC, and finished with Rinaldos own antique crystal vessels dotting the benches, everything about

the salon is precisely considered to make the customer feel immediately at home. The staff are all part of the Boris family too, each given a witty relationship such as next of kin or the unsatisfied lover of their enigmatic namesake.

The team have styled shoots for Famous, Russh and culture, and as well as impeccable hair services using Shu Uemera and LOreal Professional products, also offer luxe treatments, expert makeup artistry and bridal services.

Whether youre after a playful colour, bold new cut or simply an excuse to relax in a chilled environment Boris knows best.

D A R I N G T O E X P E R I M E N TWALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK AT

THE DESIGN HUB IN MELBOURNE

B Y S U Z A N N E F R A S E R


Ill just throw on my Walter Van Beirendonck knitted dress and floating fish headdress and meet you there. Regrettably it seems unlikely that this sentence has ever been uttered by a man-about-town in Australia (although presumably it is spoken once a day in downtown New York). Yet for those of us who are denied the opportunity of seeing a chap in our local coffee shop wearing a selection of felt fish on his head, it is all the more exciting to have an exhibition of Walter Van Beirendoncks experimental designs currently on show at the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne.

This is the first major retrospective of the Belgian designers work to be exhibited outside of Europe, as well as being the first international exhibition to be shown at the newly opened Design Hub in Melbourne. The daring nature of Van Beirendoncks fashion marries nicely with the distinctive form of the building in which it is displayed. Designed by Sean Godsell, the Design Hub is a box-like structure covered in 16 thousand circular glass panels. This frosted skin gives the building the look of either an enormous mesh crate or a spotted and futuristic control centre, depending on where you view it from. This is certainly not your average bricks and mortar job.

In a similar vein, Walter Van Beirendonck has spent the last 30 years tinkering about with the accepted forms and functions of contemporary clothing. In particular the designer is known for his continual manipulation of socially constructed norms in fashion what men are supposed to wear, for instance. As the designer tells us, I like to try and push forward the boundaries of mens fashion and thats why I question conditioned thinking experimenting with shape, colour and codes that we are usually more familiar with in the context of womens fashion.

In his menswear collections, Van Beirendonck includes such items as headdresses (which are almost as unusual for women as for men these days), necklaces, dresses, madcap colours and fabrics, and a jumble of prints. Not to mention creatural masks and knitted burqas. But beyond such aesthetic escapades, he is also widely respected as a stickler for immaculate design and visual balance in the outfits he creates. Everything he designs could easily be worn with ease and elegance, as long as the wearer has the guts to pull it off. And if such guts are not available, the 1997 Walter Van Beirendonck T-shirt representing the designers own

torso and chest hair might be a good place to start.

After graduating from Antwerps Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1980, Van Beirendonck joined with a group of other Belgian fashion designers, including Dries Van Noten, who together became known as The Antwerp Six. Their training, ambition and cleverness made these renegade designers the darlings of the 90s high fashion crowd. Their looks subsequently trickled down into the affordable realm of fashion, influencing a generation of bright young things to play around with textures, shapes and colours in assembling their style. Additionally the influence of The Antwerp Six on subsequent emerging designers is unmistakeable, particularly in their experimentations with darker themes and deconstructed aesthetics in their collections.

In an interview from 1989, the street-style photographer Bill Cunningham famously described fashion as the armour to survive the reality of everyday life. Around this time when Cunningham was also working for one of New Yorks most experimental mens publications, Details magazine Walter Van Beirendonck was reimagining the armour available to men in the fashion market. This included kilts, platform sneakers, and all the colours of the rainbow.

In the current exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne, surveying Van Beirendoncks career across three decades, we see the dreamed-up potential of what everyday clothing could look like. And since the designer continues to redefine the parameters of style, each piece on display is as contemporary and in fashion as it ever was. When asked about his career achievements, his response is decidedly modest: Im proud that I dare to experiment and Im also proud that my signature is so recognisable.

Undoubtedly such pieces as his 1997 T-shirt with printed chest hair are completely Walter Van Beirendonck. Yet what is less easily definable, but definitely present, is the continuing influence of his experimental practice on new designers. The staging of this exhibition in Australia will hopefully provide local design prodigies with ample food for thought the more men in kilts the better, I say.

MUSIC.

WITH A SPORADIC OUTPUT SINCE HIS DEBUT RELEASE CANT WAIT TO GO TO MEXICO, AS A 19-YEAR-OLD SOME FIVE YEARS AGO, PHIL ROGERS RETURNS FROM THE PRODUCTION WILDERNESS WITH HIS DEBUT ALBUM UNDER NEW PSEUDONYM, ODDESSA.

B Y D AV I D K N I G H T

ODDESSA

Big things were expected of Rogers after debuting with Cant Wait to Go to Mexico on local collective Bark Bangs first 12-inch in 2008. Soon after that release, which also contained Sidwho?s Time to Go and their collaboration Pretend, the eclectic Bark Bang collective (which also featured The Swiss and The Carter Bros) ended. Fast forward some years later and the other Bark Bang members have all released on world renowned labels: The Swiss Kitsune, Sidwho? (now Surahn) DFA while Rush Hour and Monty Lukes Black Catalogue

released The Carter Bros. Rogers dropped solo and collaborative material through his own label Cuckoo Music, but music took a back seat to running the label as well as the club, Cuckoo, which recently celebrated its fifth birthday.

Now, Rogers has a creative outlet with Oddessa, which is more experimental and leftfield than the house and techno you will see him spin as a DJ. His album Intrigue is due to drop in October or November and will be released on local label Pilot Records, as its not club friendly enough for Cuckoo but is a perfect fit for the experimental Pilot. Rogers, ever the perfectionist, said the album wasnt as cohesive as he would have liked, as it was written in various places over the last 12 months.

Some of it was written on my laptop on a trip home from Melbourne just sitting there with Sanjii [Dillon DJ] driving and me on the headphones, and just sporadically over the six months since then, Rogers explained. I think you can hear that on the album. You can hear the influences

on the album; you can hear moments of Theo [Parrish] and Nicolas Jaar. Its not as cohesive as I wanted it to be, thats just me being super critical and never wanting it to be anything but perfect.

Intrigue is a Valium-assisted cruise through house and technos chilled highways. The title-track sounds like a Warp release set to warm with heartfelt synths, broken beats and in four minutes is able to calm your soul in much less time, and for less money, than a Yoga or meditation retreat, while jams such as Close in Night and Tink Thrice are brilliant leftfield house cuts.

It jumps between a few different things: slo-mo-house, a UK influence and broken beat in bits with some weird fruity interludes, Rogers says of the album. Its got strange sounds. Its sonically better than what Ive ever done before. Its somewhere in-between a headphone listen and a club listen. It bridges that gap where its cool electronic music to listen to on the bus but then at the same time it has some club functionality as well.

The album is a perfect fit for Pilot, which contains chilled genius Oisima on its books as well as the experimental electronic rock powerhouse Urtekk and the three-piece Question Question. Adelaide has the most thriving underground electronic scene since Dirty House and Juice ruled the worlds clubs back in the 90s with Pilot, Cuckoo Music and the young gun techno and tough house label Untzz. What is exciting about the three labels, and the artists on them, is that while all imprints represent different aspects of underground club culture, there is no beef. Cuckoo artists are on Pilot and vice versa while Cuckoo DJs play at Untzz nights and Untzz jocks spin at Cuckoo. There is harmony and theyre willing to collaborate for the good of the scene, which Rogers says is healthy for the city once labelled Australias Detroit. But there are differences, as Cuckoo reflects Rogers scattered taste.

Cuckoo Music embraces a broader spectrum its the sound of the club. It is stuff we would play at the club. As long as it fits under that banner, Im happy, whereas theyve defined their Untzz sound. They are one of the labels, more so, that you can pick up and know what youll get but Cuckoo is not that.

And together, along with Pilot, Adelaides expanding underground club scene is in safe hands.

PILOT RECORDS

Pilot founders and owners Ben Smith and Dave Brewer are also members of the labels hybrid electronic outfit Urtekk, who recently popped their Triple J cherry with the track Intervals. Brewer explains the genesis of Pilot.

Ben and I had just finished up playing in another band and decided to keep jamming and writing, Brewer says. Then one day Ben was telling me how he always wanted to run a record label and said that we should just do it. After joking about it for a moment we gave it a little thought and realised that maybe we actually could try this and maybe it could work.

The duo quit their jobs and applied for the NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) program.

We spent a few months getting things organised and finding some artists, distro, manufacturers, etc. [We] then launched in April 2012 and havent looked back since, Brewer continues.

Essentially were a team of two who

take on nearly all of the operations, with only a couple of areas being outsourced, so the workload can build up pretty quickly at times, Smith explains. Despite this, however, it keeps us on our toes and [we are] involved in every aspect of the label.

The imprints roster includes Brewer and Smiths own psychedelic electronic rock outfit Urtekk, as well as the old school influenced techno, electro and new beat trio Question Question, the drone shoegazers Ride Into The Sun and Pilots nationally acclaimed smooth jazz beatsmith, Oisima. The label is diverse, forward thinking and continues to surprise and keep it edgy with new signings, which include the folktronica of Menagerie and leftfield producer Oddessa. When signing talent, Smith and Brewer look for artists that are true and honest to their art, as acts can always improve on the quality of their output.

The ones who are serious about their art dont need to be told about dedication or to work on improving their abilities, its already inbuilt, Smith explains.

Brewer says their artists deserve a lot of

the credit for getting the label to where it is.

Theres been a lot of hard work on everyones account. Its been great how were going so far and some really cool things have happened along the way, but weve still got bigger goals on the horizon and theres still plenty of time ahead of us.

Aside from the releases, Pilot threw a festival earlier in the year, Pilot Fest, and celebrated their one-year anniversary with a party at Published Arthouse. More events, along with releases, are planned for the next 12 months, which the duo are tight lipped about, but they promise that Pilots second year will be bigger than their first. This includes plans to expand. We do have some exciting plans and have been getting interest from afar. But they cant let the cat out of the bag, just yet, as Brewer explains. Were still in planning and discussions at the moment, so unfortunately were in that position where if we were to tell you anything, we may have to kill you... but as thats not in our nature perhaps we just wont let the cat out of the bag!

OZASIA GETS HIP THANKS TO YUNA, A MALAYSIAN SOULFUL URBAN POP SINGER WHO HAS

WORKED WITH PHARRELL WILLIAMS AND CHAD HUGO AND IS SIGNED TO LEGENDARY JAZZ LABEL VERVE.

YUNA

A former law student, Luna released her self-titled debut EP in Malaysia in 2008 before going on to win many AIM Awards (Malaysias music awards) in the following years. Signed to New Yorks FADER label to release her debut album, Yuna, who owns a production company and a fashion store in Kuala Lumpur, is based in Los Angeles but travels back to Malaysia six times a year for work.

Before I came out here [to LA] I made sure everyone knew that my life is in Malaysia. I still run a couple of companies in Malaysia, a production company and a clothing store thats still active in Malaysia.

Yunas 2012 debut LP saw her work with The Neptunes Pharrell Williams while Def Jams Russell Simmons called her an amazing new singer. The smooth jazz pop mixed with an urban sensibility heard on her debut sounded like Feist and Alicia Keys jamming in a late night jazz cafe. With her soft yet powerful voice, her album was punctuated with the singles Live Your Life and Lullabies with Yuna working with Pharrell on Live Your Life. She collaborated with Pharrells production partner in crime Chad Hugo (The Neptunes, N.E.R.D.) on her upcoming album, which will be her first on Verve and follows her recently released Sixth Street EP for the legendary label home to Natalie Cole, Carla Bruni and Andrea Bocelli.

They both have similar but different styles, Yuna says of Chad and Pharrell. It was really fun to work with both of them. I mean who else could say something like that? Yeah, I worked with Pharrell and I worked with Chad Hugo, she laughs. It was really exciting for me. Working with Pharrell was really cool because I got to be in Miami and be in the studio for five days. With Chad we didnt have much time


together but we managed to come up with a couple of songs and one of the songs we worked on is one of my favourites and one of the strongest songs on the album. Im excited about the response. Chad loves the song, I love the song and the label loves the song. So, I hope everyones going to love the song.

Her next album will see her experiment with traditional Malay instruments.

[With the EP] I discovered the soul and R&B side of myself. I want to explore more of that field and to experiment with traditional instruments. With Malay traditional music, there are a lot of amazing instruments that I feel not a lot of people know a lot about and it could be a fun thing

to experiment and thats exactly what I do with this album.

Traditional Malay instruments and songs from her new album wont likely be previewed at her OzAsia performances.

The shows will be the usual shows I perform because the album wont be out until October. I still have some new music from the EP and thats pretty exciting, as Ive never performed songs from the EP outside of America before, so its great to be able to do that in Adelaide. Ive never been to Adelaide, so I will be performing a lot of songs from my first album as well.

La Cantina Co You can imagine a Mexican grandmother lovingly preparing the traditional tacos and cheesy quesadillas served at La Cantina Co for Sunday lunch and you wouldnt be far from the truth. Founder Tom Skipper (of Little Miss Mexico and Miami) based the menu on recipes borrowed from a Mexico City native while travelling, passing on authentic street food flavours in a fun, relaxed environment.

Hoping to deliver a pleasurable assault on the palate, the truck serves up an experience, not just a meal. One bite of the beef quesadilla with chunky salsa, or a

whiff of the spicy vegetarian burrito will transport you to the land of sombreros, guacamole and sun, sun, sun. Thrifty amigos can even score three for $10 on Taco Tuesdays.

GIN, GLORIOUS

By day, Mark Reginato more widely known as Reggie is Captain of Connect Vines and owner of #GAS (Great Australian Spirits) supplying a range of eclectic restaurants and bars with the latest small batch and artisanal wines and spirits. Come night, hes whipping up some of your favourite gin cocktails plus some new combos at spots like Udaberri and Little Miss Miami, using 15 years of experience to give you next level drinks.

A staple in bars everywhere, gin appears in more classic drinks than any other spirit Negronis, Singapore Slings, and of course the ubiquitous G&T. Although it can be savoured neat, the infused notes in gin come to life when its mixed, adding complexity to each drink.

The UKs Fifty Pounds, San Franciscos Junipero and the Melbourne Gin Company are just some of the labels pioneering innovative approaches across the world, and inspired venues across SA are experimenting with these boutique spirits to create fresh new blends.

Reggie is the driving force behind World Gin Day, an event aiming to generate exposure for these smaller joints willing to take bartending up a notch. Incorporating 22 SA venues and highlighting five international varieties of gin, it also encouraged punters to experiment and order something more than a gin and tonic.

Its the new white spirit, Reggie says.

Knocking vodka off its perch, its the versatility and complexity of gin that elevates it above other spirits. Inherently

more interesting to the palate, bartenders are increasingly calling on gin for their beverages, adding intensity and diversity to standard cocktail menus.

Theres also a growing focus on garnishes to harness the underlying flavours of the spirit, with somewhat unexpected additions like fresh coriander, lavender, or even tomato juice and smoked bacon in a Red Snapper, creating an intense kick, elegance or sweetness when desired.

Unlike some white spirits, no two gins are alike. Although all varieties use juniper as the springboard, from there the botanical combinations are endless, and distillers and bartenders alike are overwhelmed with creative opportunity. Some focus on one distinct infusion take Gabriel Boudiers heavenly saffron variety while others

blend a range of flavours, like Scottish gin Botanist, which clocks in at 31 elements.

Reggie favours the adventurous botanicals of Margaret Rivers The West Winds Gin, with native flavours like wattle seed, Australian bush tomato and lemon myrtle creating depth in small batch varieties The Sabre and The Cutlass. Adding vegetables like capsicum and cucumber exposes vegetal flavours, tricking up a classic Collins with lavender releases botanicals, or enjoying with a wedge of lemon emphasises the citrus undercurrent joining the classic juniper.

This double whack of citrus brings him to a contentious point. Lime is killing a lot of drinks, says Reggie.

GINthe subtle flavours of many labels, and he recommends trading it for lemon instead.

For those who prefer to dabble in mixology at home, his advice is simple: better ingredients make better drinks. Invest in quality gins with interesting notes and buy good mixers (try a club soda like Fever Tree or Capi for a divine G&T) then immerse yourself in the glory of gin.
