Stateless is an electronica band from Leeds. Ariel is the title of their latest single taken from the not yet released album Matilda. The song is about the eternal battle between good and bad, imagined in the video as a fight between Ariel and the Devil himself. For the visuals, they collaborated with the design studio FIELD. They recorded an improvised dance interpretation of Ariel’s battle using motion capture technology and then digitally animated it. The outcome is quite stunning!

For an industry that spends so much time fratenising with musicians, few designers ever admit to being primarily influenced by the music industry itself. Electronic Poet are an exception.

Made up of fashion industry extraordinaire Asim Khan (Excuse My French and Kounterfeit) and legendary music promoter Steve Banks (Asylum and Technique). Electronic Poet is a label that rips all the culture out of the gritty Leeds late night, electronic ethic and stitches it into your brand new clothes. You won’t have to look far to find a good hoody here, with slim fits, quilted fabrics and hoods which don’t make your head look tiny, or misshapen. All this is based on a palette of monochrome and navy and reflects the British fashion vibe at it’s very best. Following on the trail of the MTWTFSS line, there will be surely be plenty of antiheroes traversing the city backstreets, confusing other generations with their stylishly skinny cut rebellion.
