Damu the Fudgemunk is someone who Lucas has been following for a few years now.  In fact, they used to run stock together at MajorDC a while back.  Haven’t heard of the man?  Damu is an up and coming producer, member of Y-Society, street musician, and has possibly the greatest “90’s” hip hop sound since Pete Rock and DJ Premier.  Damu is definitely someone to look out for in 2010, as he continues his musical journey.  Check him out performing below and on his site, http://www.wonkabeats.blogspot.com/

Around a year ago we decided to revamp and redevelop our whole denim line.  our goal was to use better and different fabrics than were on the market, to use better manufacturing to streamline construction, to tighten up our measurements to achieve 3 perfect fits, and do all this for a reasonable retail price.  Over a year later our vision is coming to light, and our new denim offerings will be hitting the market in the next weeks…

In honor of their new site launch featuring the distro league, Frank sent a correspondent over to DURKL to capture what we are up to, whats good in Obamatown, and some insight into what makes DURKL tick.  It turned out dope, and we are amped to continue working with FRANK151.

Our Holiday 2009 collection is getting very close, new styles are rolling into the warehouse each day. We got our tees from our printer this morning and the collection is looking pretty solid.

Last month adidas invited Second Son to design eight pairs of kicks using their ‘mi originals’ system as part of their first London street Fashion Show.  Haven’t heard of Second Son?  Will Kemp and his London crew have been making dope clothing for almost 5 years now…you might’ve seen his work for Carhartt Europe too.  Anyway..two of their colourways have been made available for purchase at the adidas Originals store on Earlham Street in central London, along with an exclusive free Second Son logo tee.  Two colourways of the classic adidas ZX700 model are available: one is a clean black and yellow pair inspired by their Weather Pattern print, while the other is a fresh turquoise and white colourway designed to match the Cosmic Shit tee.  To celebrate, Second Son is spreading the love by giving away a FREE PAIR of the kicks. To enter the competition, just email them at competition@second-son.com with your answer to the following question:
Would you like a free pair of trainers?
A) Yes.
B) No thanks, I only wear penny loafers.
The winner will be selected from a random draw. Competition ends on Friday 20th November 2009.

Merchandising and presentation are a really important aspect of the retail game.  Some of our shops have been killing it, and we wanted to show them off.  1st up is Phat Kaps, featuring the DURKL Riggs Bomber and Confet-tee.  Although Supras aren’t really our style, this fit almost makes us want a pair.

Next up is VA boutique Elite Boardshop.  Elite has some great tee boards that look even better with DURKL tees on them. Staff are even better merchandising, shout to our boy Elliot rocking the Script Logo.

Social Study has been steadily supplying Maryland with fresh gear for the better part of the decade.  The compartmentalized hat rack and bicycle displays look great.  I see some Warrior Footwear peeking on that shoe display too.

This Halloween, DURKL invites you to come down to the garage, and trick or treat in style for the 1st annual DURKL CASH ‘N CARRY Sale.  What the heck is a Cash ‘n Carry Sale you ask?
