22 Tykoon hitting SF's fashion scene hard.

Highlights of the Chillin 10th Anniversary party at Mezzanine included live screen printing by San FranPsycho and some of this seasons fresh looks from SF based clothing company, 22 Tykoon. Bay area based and co founded by Sigur Sprang and Shoshana Bennett in 2004, is a collection of local, street gear with its images derived from distinct aspects of urban life. Each garment is a one of a kind and highly personalized. "Most importantly 22 Tykoon is a frame of mind and not about how fat your pocket is." The must have item is their hoodie that features a screen printed design and is equipped with a fully lined hood made from vintage ties. Truly one of a kind.

Be sure to check out their full catalog on their website, www.22tykoon.com.
For any additional requests, inquiries or orders please contact Sigur Sprang, Sigursart@gmail.com

check out some of the designs they are working with.

And a few words from Karlo...

Not ever sure who reads these thing but if you know me even a little bit then its no surprise that I ramble about music all the time. Its about the only thing that keeps me sane in the Succa Free City. It also gets me in trouble too ie: spending the majority of my life in clubs, getting smashed, staying up way too late on school nights (i don't actually go to school or have a job) and eating Junk food after getting smashed. Aside from all the club antics and drunken late night skateboard missions, I have been creating some music. I know I've been doing lots of cheese remixes lately but its been a necessity for the weekend club gigs. I figure if I'm gonna be hassled while DJ'n by poorly dressed sorority girls and drunken Indian investment bankers (dot not feather) I might as well be dropping my own remixes. At the same time I still try to produce as much original music as possible. As some of you know I spin several types of music including: breakbeats, the breaks, REAL electro, house, techno, tech house, minimal tech, hiphop, top 40, funk and soul, booty bass, bmore, baymore, rock, hipsterdancemusic, nu rave whatever the fuck that is, downbeat, and still scratch almost every time I'm on the decks. It's been a challenge mastering all these different genres of music but after 11 years of DJ'n/ producing and a lifetime of listing I feel like I'm finally making some progress. I've got my own little halfass studio and i couldn't be happier. Heres my gift to you all for supporting my ass and coming to my shows. Just cooked it up today.

I'm gonna blog this to so feel free to say hi.
