You might have heard about the upcoming edition of Bacardi Visita. Coming saturday the 21st of November the 4th edition of Visita will take place. In previous posts we’ve told you all about what Visita stands for. If you still don’t know take a look at the line-up for this edition:
-Ghettoblaster Soundsystem
-Revolt Heroes
-Homegrown (a team of producers (Grand Jackson, FS Green, Full Crate) that created special Visita tracks. They’ll perform these tracks live during the event)
-DJ Mehdi

Visita is known for paying a lot of attention to the location of the party. This time the party will take place at the WTC in Rotterdam.

It’s 20 years ago that Reebok introduced the Reebok Pump.

20 years later we could do a Patta x Reebok Pump version of this iconic shoe. So we might as well drop a party right?

For those who can consider themselves lucky with a special invite, the Patta x Reebok Pump 20 Event is scheduled to take place this thursday at Rijk van de Keizer, Joris van den Berghweg 101-111 in Amsterdam.

There is plenty of parking space in the area, and for those who use public transport, a special Shuttle service has been arranged which will take you from the Westergas Terrein to the location (and back). The buses start running from 21:45 until the party ends.

If you have been invited but did not pick up your invitation and free shirt, please do so as soon as possible to avoid complications. See you there!

Patta presents to you our next collaboration in line, which is with the legendary KANGOL® brand. We are very proud to be a part of KANGOL® brand’s long and highly respected history. From Cumbria’s coast-to-coast walk to the vibrant city streets of Amsterdam, the authentic KANGOL® hat enjoys a worldwide reputation for headwear fashion, classic heritage and timeless design.

The model we have worked on is the classic KANGOL® Bugatti. The material of choice for the outer is rich full grain leather with a full quilted satin lining and contrast stitching. The Bugatti has convertible earflaps to keep you warm when it’s windy, or can be snapped up with the co-branded press studs when they are not needed.

Patta and KANGOL® embroideries on the back solidify this special collaboration.

The Patta x KANGOL® Leather Bugatti is scheduled to release October 1st exclusively at Patta and will come with a very special limited edition Patta x KANGOL® poster featuring many favorite Dutch music artists. Releasedates at selected top tier Kangol-dealers worldwide are soon to follow.

Our friends of Aux Raus have just released their new video ‘Coffin Poser’. Directors Lernert Engelberts & Sander Plug had their take on coffee & cake aka the low-budget funerals here in Holland. Cake it up!

So, the Patta x Converse x LE LE shoe has been released! What else can we do but party to support the launch? It’s what we do. It’s what we’re good at. It’s the art of partying. 

This wednesday we’ll travel to Paris to kill Social Club. Performances by Pain O Chokolat Soundsystem, Parra Soundsystem and of course a live performance by LE LE.

No time for hangovers on thursday. We’ll travel to Berlin to kill yet another club. Ballhaus Berlin that is. Located at the Chausseestr. 102.

Hope to see you there Parisians and Berliners!

Our friends Lil’Vic, Danny & Paul are doing some crazy ass shit. Some time ago they started calling a Wodka-Red Bull a ’Budt’. A star was born. They decided to launch Budt with a high budget commercial inspired by the Bacardi Mojito commercial. But what’s a new brand without a proper launch party?

That’s why they’re hosting the world famous Paradiso tonight for a brand event of their non-existing drink Budt. Expect the best of the drama-team. Promo-girls handing out shots of Budt, beautiful visuals from the waste material of the commercial and epic balloon moments during a LE LE performance. Next to that our friends Wix, Tom Trago, Huiskamerhits and Firestone will perform. This is classic!

Check out the commercial:

Here is the final part of the Converse x Patta x Le Le video series which features Gee from Patta, Parra from Rockwell/LE LE and Makker the Dog, elaborating about how the project came about and the inspiration behind the product look, feel and materials. I hope you like it.

To support the release of the Patta x Converse x LE LE shoe, the boys at Hypebeast recently did a big-ass interview with Gee. Check it out here. Take your time to read it, it’s worth it!
