Overview
The acquisition of good vintage clothing can be a difficult feat. Much like the metaphoric fog, sometimes you have to sort through a whole bunch of crap until you find something legit. Fortunately for us, the dudes behind Foe, Like The Enemy have trawled through Asia and the Americas to source the best vintage clothing they could get their hands on. Now you get to reap the spoils.
From July 16, Foe, Like The Enemy will be holding a pop-up store in Foveaux Street, Surry Hills. For a limited time you can walk into a real-live shop and try on vintage clothes in an actual changeroom. If you're lucky, you might even get a mirror to yourself.
But someone mentioned a party? With booze, beats and threads a-flowin'? Totally doable. The FLTE guys have plenty to celebrate, so they're launching the space tonight from 6:30pm with some some very special sets from two of Sydney's best beatlovers — electropop queen Catcall and smooth electronic Nicholas Jaar-like producer duo Phondupe. That's some serious Sydney talent behind the decks for a pop-up launch, we'll take it.
To gear you up for tonight, the constantly-working Phondupe have created a brand new beats-laden minimix — just the thing to make your Wednesday that little bit more top notch. The London/Sydney-based duo crank dark, jittery trip-hop via Skype correspondence and online long distance production. After recording in NYC with New York native Justin Dean Thomas, the pair have released a killer EP by the name of Greenhouse.
Specially created for the Foe, Like the Enemy launch, here's Phondupe's special minimix to wrap your ears around. Word to the wise, this some crispy shiiiiiiiiihhhhh.
Launch night runs from 6.30pm, Wednesday 16 July. The pop-up shop is open Wednesday 16 - Saturday 19 July at Shop 1, 50-52 Foveaux Street, Surry Hills.
