So a few of you might have seen that us boys behind Fragment have started up our own little menswear range, named after the Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, TWIN. We’ve been real busy setting things up the last few months but at last almost all of our first designs are available online over at – http://twinapparel.bigcartel.com/.

We’d really appreciate any feedback anyone has on the designs or the way we’re doing things as we’re really pushing to get things off the ground with it all over the next few months. We’re also selling the shirts on Facebook so go check out that if you get a moment: https://www.facebook.com/twinapparel

For those of you who didn’t make the epic Numbers party back in December, here’s the fantastic live set from Mr. Party Jackmaster.

“Here’s the long promised recording of my set from the Numbers LDN warehouse party back in December of last year.

There were a few Serato technicals to start with, hence the reason for the first few tracks being played without any attempt to blend them, and because it was December, I played some of biggest tunes of the year as a kind of retrospective of one of the best years of UK music in history (IMO). I also put a few of the tracks that I rinsed heavily in my sets throughout 2011, plus the usual selection of surprises. For the same reason, there’s also a few blends from my Fabric CD and the RA mix.

We need to say a really big thanks to Black Atlantic and Red Bull, but most of all the troops who stayed till half past 6 in the morning singing along to all the tracks and dancing on top of their mates shoulders. You guys made one of the best parties we’ve ever been involved in so thanks very much.”

With our nights at The Alibi truly going strong and some free time finally on our hands we’ve at last got round to launching a new side-division of Fragment for 2012 by the name of TWIN. The name is taken from a film that resembles familiarities of the two founders of Fragment and TWIN, Mike Oman and myself James.

We’ve launched with a series of designs which we hope A. you’ll all like and B. will be available very soon. You’ll have to stay tuned for more information on where they’ll be available from but we’ve got some very exciting places lined up for our full launch this Spring.

Gordon Richardson (Topman design director) alongside co-curator Matthew Murphy of B Store are responsible for High Street giant Topman’s latest and most surprising outpost. The Topman General Store, located in East London’s Shoreditch features a limited edition line of higher end Topman products along with superb coffee courtesy of Reynolds.

With an impressive collection of photography books, vintage furniture and a few bits and pieces from other carefully chosen brands such as Pendleton, Norsea Industries and Percival (plus limited-edition Rite in the Rain notebooks), it looks like the sort of great independent you’d expect to find in Shoreditch, only cheaper and less intimidating.
