ID-IOM London Show, Clapham – New Stencil Art Print Launch

The ID-IOM lads launched their first print Thursday last week at Metro, London (Clapham). Live painting, booze and decent weather made it a great night, the new limited print looks sick too. I’ll have a proper article on the new print later this week, but in the meantime, here are some photos from the night and a sneak look at the limited print.

Big shout to them for getting us down there, we’ll have a video sometime soon showing the making of this big piece below…

PimpArtworks Urban Photographers help relaunch Carl Cox’s Record Label

Posted: March 31st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »
Carl Cox and Safehouse Management are proud to announce the rebirth of the legendary international Intec Records.

The original and groundbreaking techno label bowed out on a high in 2006, after eight years at the forefront of electronic music. Three years on and Intec is back, re-born for a new digital generation, with the same musical ethos of unearthing original, fresh and exciting techno music from around the world.

Intec Digital approached PimpArtworks and after discussions with our Urban Photographers who’s work they were interested in, agreed to help supply imagery to be pushed out against the record label both on their website and merchandise.

“It’s a whole new fresh start,” says Carl. “The original Intec stood for something, very much of the time, but we’re bringing it back, we’re updating it, but with the same team of people, the same passion for new music and the same philosophy.”

Imagery will be rotated frequently on their website to keep things fresh and inline with new releases.
