Kiev’s Bread&Butter Crowd

April 11, 2010

It’s Malcolm Gladwellian tipping-point-time in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, which is on the cusp of a street fashion revolution. The T-shirt & hoodie crowd, the emo & punk kids, the hip indie chicks and the stylish mods are gaining in numbers with each spring, and plotting to topple the Versace-wearing status quo. Hipsters are setting up their own T-shirt labels like Frequency, whose iconic T-shirts and sleeveless hoodies variously read ‘Jesus Also Loves Gangsters’ or ‘FFFFFUUU’; little clothing & record stores are popping up in obscure courtyards in the city’s historic center; while new bars like Korol I Kapusta (King & Cabbages), Palatka No. 6, Backstreet and others funnel the energies of this new generation.

I walked around Kiev’s center this Friday, facehunting for the Bread&Butter crowd. They’re here, they’re out in force, and, hey, you wanna invite them back to your flat, blast the Cure on the stereo, and stop the world and melt with them.

Khan Craves Candy Love

Berlin-based Khan of Finland never fails to hit the G-spot with his dirty, sweet tunes, that mix deep lets-all-love-each-other Chicago house with naughty electro beats. His new single Candy Love, for his forthcoming album plays with the idea of a polysexual sweetheart, a Joseph Fritzl swanning over Angela Merkel. A Lil Kim who tastes just like candy, blown back into the neon 80s, and serenaded by a vampyrish Khan. The creepy-sexy Candygirl video was produced by Italian artists Miro Mastropasqua and Onze.
